Style: Dark supernatural horror, haunted house atmosphere, oppressive dread, cinematic realism, high tension, realistic movie trailer pacing [00:00-00:03] Slow dolly shot down a narrow, dimly lit hallway inside an old house. Peeling wallpaper, crooked family portraits, cracked wood floors, a flickering lamp at the far end, deep shadows swallowing the corners. The air feels heavy and still, then a door at the far end creaks open by itself. Ambient noise: low rumbling, distant floor creaks, faint wind slipping through the walls, soft childlike humming. [00:03-00:06] Medium shot of a frightened woman in a pale nightgown standing frozen at the end of the hallway, holding a candle with trembling hands. The flame flickers violently as she hears a childlike whisper behind her say, "Don’t look at me." She slowly turns, breathing fast, while the family portraits begin to tilt and shake on the wall. Shallow depth of field, cold blue-gray tones, subtle film grain. SFX: whispering, wood cracking, glass frame rattling. [00:06-00:09] Close-up of her face as terror rises in her eyes. The candle suddenly goes out, plunging the hallway into near-total darkness except for faint moonlight from a nearby window. A door slams shut behind her. She gasps, stumbles backward, and drops the candle holder as scratching sounds race through the walls from one side of the hall to the other. SFX: sudden silence, sharp inhale, metallic clang, frantic scratching inside the walls. [00:09-00:12] Wide shot as a shadowy figure slowly emerges behind her from the darkness, unnaturally tall, barely visible, head tilted, long fingers reaching forward. She sees it in the reflection of a crooked mirror and suddenly runs down the hallway. The camera follows in a shaky tracking shot as the lamp bursts, portraits fall, and the hallway seems to stretch longer around her. SFX: distorted whispering, pounding footsteps, deep bass hit, distant church bell. [00:12-00:15] Dynamic low-angle shot as she reaches a locked bedroom door and pounds on it in panic, whispering, "Please open, please open." The door suddenly swings inward on its own. She falls inside, turns back toward the hall, and sees the shadow figure rush forward at unnatural speed before stopping just at the doorway. End on a tight shot of her frozen in terror as the door slowly closes by itself. SFX: heartbeat thump, violent wind gust, rising string screech, final heavy slam.
