Film Summary

Does she kill her boyfriend?

Yes, Laura does kill Barney, who is only one of the many guys she has killed before and she takes him to the basement where she has kept the rest of the men. Here we see the more gory and murderous aspects of the film. The story conventionally consists of a detective like in Seven (David Fincher, 1996) who comes to investigate the case of the missing males in the area. He falls in love with Laura who whilst trying to seduce him, also falls in love. This is where elements of romance will be incorporated in our film. She spends her time trying to hide her crimes from him.

The film will consist of flashbacks showing her childhood and the cause of her madness. The story goes that when she was younger, her brother was drowned in the sea back Greece, and she has always held his friend to blame for this incident. She remains silent about it for years, but when she moves to London she is taken over by a psychological disorder when memories of her brother return. She begins to date and kill anyone that looks like her brother’s friend, and ends up falling in love with the detective. When he eventually finds out about her crimes, she is faced by a dilemma...

Should she kill him too?
