Character Profiles

THE VICTIM (HARRIET AUSTIN)

The victim is the character who is oblivious to a lot that goes on around her. She is a bit of a recluse, though she does have a group of friends who care about her and vice versa. She is very focused on doing well at school and in life. The victim is someone who the audience should feel sympathy for and who the audience should primarily focus on throughout the film. The character as a victim conforms to stereotypes of girls in horror films as the victim who needs saving. 

THE BEST FRIEND (ALEX BATEMAN)

This character is the classic best friend. He is caring and worried about where his friend is. He feels close to his friends and vows to protect them from all harm. He is very hopeful and optimistic about life and the people around him, making him quite a naive character at the same time as being quite brave. This character is someone the audience could possibly relate to the most out of the three as he is someone that every person either knows or hopes to know at some point in their lives.

THE ANTAGONIST (SAMMIE-JO BRETHERICK)

The antagonist is portrayed as a classic stalker. She is someone who is close to the victim, but the audience doesn't know it. She is stealthy and is out to get revenge by slowly following the victim's every move. Having a female antagonist, which is revealed in the rest of the film, subverts stereotypes s it usually a man who portrays the villainous roles. The antagonist is hopefully portrayed as someone the audience shouldn't warm to.
