Backstory

        As I continue to work on an outline and backstory for the film I am promoting, I am beginning to transition genres from full on horror to more of a psychiatric thriller after receiving inspiration from films such as Get Out and Split. The story goes as this; The Johnson's were an ordinary family. The father, Chris Johnson, had a stable job working as a scientist in the medical field. The mother, Christina Johnson, was a typical house wife with a part time lawyering position at a firm. Their daughter, Emily Johnson, was off at college. Their son, Brian Johnson, was a junior in high school. Recently, Chris has been working late nights more often and has appeared a little bit quiet to Christina. Being the worrier she is, she suspects Chris of potentially cheating on her. One night as Chris was off on a business trip, she went to snoop through his belongings in his office at home, She came across a few chemicals as part of his work. Without much thought, she moves these glasses full of unknown substances and in doing so, one of the glasses spill. Little to her knowledge, this substance was a new medication Chris had been working on in order to cure various mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and dementia. Having an open wound on her hand, this chemical reached Christina's blood stream and spread rapidly throughout her body as she was cleaning up the mess. Within hours, Christina began to act much differently. She would stand and watch objects throughout her house, talk in different voices to herself, and run for no apparent reason. As the film continues, Brian, the only family member at home with her, is beginning to notice these random acts. Christina herself is not aware of her actions, just as a mentally ill patient may. The film will continue with doctors not noticing a problem, as these acts are not constant, and Brian having no form of contacting his father who's trip does not contain cell service.
