Ok so....helplessness is scary right...? And what is wrong with the horror movies of today that can't be fixed with technology? What oh what in our time do we have to be afriad of?? Monsters? Mutants? Creepy little kids with problems? No...all we are scared of today is fear itself...the idea of being scared. Horror movies today show you what you are afriad of but then once you see it...you realize that it isnt real and couldnt happen in reality. The old school scary movies could scare without cursing, nudity or the best gore scene.
So theres nothin that you can do about it...you want to help but theres nothing there that can be helped... You are helpfulless. Everyone is gone..or everything is gone...or you are gone and stuck.
Im picturing waking up...beginning out of the loop. Like waking up late and not knowing what went on in your slumber.
Lets say we start out at the school...a loud noise happens. The subject is with someone who darts out at the first sign of the trouble...you try to hastily catch up but slip and are knocked out.
One awakens disoriented...lets say the fire alarm is going off. All over the building are signs that something big has happened or come through the school. You hear noises but once you reach them...there is nothing there. Maybe you even get attacked but it is so quick and swift that you still dont see what it is... It could be random accidents... Maybe there are a few people laying around...but they are dead or in a coma of some sort...
Being a short video is nice so i can get right to the point...
So since you cant do anything at the school you try to leave... But once you get outside there is a erie calm... like your being watched...or stalked...
And right when some sort of movement occurs the tape goes out. The viewer does not get to see what it was...so therefore it could be anything... They can leave scared and that thing that popped out at the subject could very well be waiting on them. It could be a fictional monster or it could be a Pit Bull out loose...you dont know...
All you have to fear is the fear.

i think it would be great to deal with the senses/emotions involved with being totally helpless. in my dreams, sometimes i cant scream, i cant alert anyone that im in danger. a mere muffled wimper comes out. or i try to run but i seem to be going nowhere. i know that might be hard to execute.
also, exploring paranoia and the obssessive feeling that your being watched. your every movement is being monitored. but by who? is your paranoia valid?
about the deja vu thing: it sounds a bit like groundhog's day. what would make yours different?
this would be a great story..action & horror all in one film..if excuted, it would be kool to make it a silent film, well maybe a few sound effects. i never thought about how quickly things happen & sometimes we never know wats going on around us! so true so true
i really like the idea of an old lo budget style movie. i think with all the special effects there is something lost in the storytelling. too much time is put into the graphics and not the content. i think you have a good framework to build upon.
