ACT ONE
Blackwater Ridge
Lost Creek, Colorado
INT. DARK WOODS - NIGHT
There are dark woods, with glimpses of two tents and a small campfire. Crickets chips in the background. The sound of twigs breaking under the weight of something heavy are audible, accompanied with heavy breathing and low growls. Shadows are visible within the tents.
INT. TENT - NIGHT
Two hands playing a video game fill the screen, clicking rapidly on the button. A YOUNG MAN is shown to be playing it, with another YOUNG MAN in the background behind him, apparently playing the same game.
The second YOUNG MAN, Brad glances up.
BRAD
Dude, you're cheating.
FIRST YOUNG MAN, GARY
No, you just suck.
INT. WOODS - NIGHT
View of one tent then rapidly moves to the other. Growling is again audible. Camera focuses on second tent. YOUNG MAN inside, TOMMY, flips his phone around presses a button and holds it up.
INT. SECOND TENT - NIGHT
TOMMY
Hey Haley, day six, we're somewhere out near Blackwater Ridge.
He is video-recording himself on his phone and we see a shadow pass across the tent wall behind him as he continues speaking.
TOMMY
We're fine, keeping safe, so don't worry. Talk to you tomorrow.
He presses a button and the video stops. He turns the phone around and brings it into his lap.
INT. FIRST TENT - NIGHT
BRAD flips his video game shut and tosses it away, unzipping the tent door.
GARY
Hey where you goin? My moment of victory.
BRAD
Nature calls.
OUTSIDE - NIGHT
BRAD leaves, zips the tent and walks to the edge of the campsite and begins to unzip his pants. Camera lowers to the flames of the campfire.
A crack and a growl sounds from the woods and BRAD jerks his head up to look toward it. Growling and more cracking is heard, and we see brush moving as something moves behind it. BRAD peers toward the sound but sees nothing, so looks down and shakes his head.
BRAD looks up suddenly, a loud growl is heard, he leans forward, looking into the woods. More brush moves. Another growl. BRAD eyes widen and he screams as there is a fierce growl.
INT. SECOND TENT - NIGHT
TOMMY is laying in his sleeping bag and looks over confused as BRAD screams.
INT. FIRST TENT - NIGHT
GARY still playing his video games looks toward the sound.
GARY
Brad?
INT. SECOND TENT - NIGHT
TOMMY sits up.
TOMMY
Gary what's going on?
GARY gets up and unzips the tent, looking out cautiously. There is a loud growl and GARY looks up slowly. He scream and is violently jerked from the tent.
INT. SECOND TENT - NIGHT
TOMMY sits up as GARYS screams fade. He pants heavily as he dives to turn off the electric lantern. The tent is dark and he sits back up, looking around as a shadow rapidly circles his tent, panting and growling sounds audible.
TOMMY turns in circles to follow the shadow and he breaths heavily with fright. Then all is silent and TOMMY sits shaking as he listens. A clawed, five fingered hand-shape tears through his tent wall, and TOMMY screams, diving forward away from it. He lands on his back and lays screaming as the camera zooms in on his face and then cuts to black and silence.

SAM leans forward and lays the wildflowers at the base of the tombstone. Suddenly a dirt covered hand shoots up through the ground and grips his wrist.
