Short filmTranscript
00:00The camera opens on a narrow, fog-choked road, slicing through an ancient forest.
00:05The trees bend slightly inward, as if whispering among themselves.
00:11Dead leaves swirl with every gust of cold wind, and the grey sky above hangs heavy with silence.
00:19A single car emerges through the mist, its headlights struggling to penetrate the gloom.
00:24Inside the car, Daniel Cross, 32, unshaven, tired-eyed, grips the steering wheel with pale fingers.
00:32On the seat beside him, a crumpled envelope with a wax seal marked by a strange symbol.
00:38A circle intersected by jagged lines. His GPS lost signal miles ago.
00:43The only direction he has now is the hand-drawn map inside the letter.
00:47A map signed by his uncle, Henry, presumed dead 13 years ago, in a fire that consumed Grey Hollow Estate.
00:56As Daniel arrives at the village of Gallows Reach, time seems to stall.
01:02The streets are deserted, windows shuttered. Every house looks like it's been abandoned mid-breath.
01:08Shadows watch him from behind curtains, but no one comes out.
01:11A dog howls in the distance. A wooden sign creaks above an old store.
01:16All things end here.
01:20Daniel stops at the village inn, where the innkeeper, an old woman with cataract-clouded eyes,
01:25gives him the room key without a word. Before he turns to leave, she speaks.
01:30You shouldn't go to Grey Hollow after dark. It remembers blood.
01:34Daniel stares at her. She only smiles faintly, as if her words weren't her own.
01:40That night, in his room, Daniel dreams.
01:43The screen flickers with flickering candlelight. He's walking barefoot down a hallway with no end.
01:50The wallpaper peels like skin. The air smells of ash and mildew.
01:55A child is crying softly behind a door, whispering his name.
01:58Danny.
01:58Don't open it again. He wakes drenched in sweat.
02:03The next morning, Daniel follows the path to Grey Hollow. The camera glides across rusted gates,
02:09tangled with ivy. Crows scatter as he pushes open the iron gate, which groans like an animal in pain.
02:16The mansion looms ahead, rotted but proud, its windows like black eyes, watching.
02:23Vines crawl across the stone. The front door opens with a reluctant creak.
02:28Inside, the mansion is a time capsule of decay.
02:32Dust dances in beams of pale light slicing through broken shutters.
02:37Portraits line the walls. Eyes scratched out. Smiles faded.
02:41A grandfather clock ticks, even though it's not wound. The sound design becomes layered.
02:48Footsteps echo just half a second too late.
02:50Floorboards creak even when he's still, and whispers brush the edge of the soundtrack.
02:56Unintelligible, but persistent.
02:59Daniel explores, flashlight trembling in his hand.
03:03The mirrors are fogged, but in one of them he sees himself smiling, even though he's not.
03:08A cold gust slams a door shut behind him, trapping him in a room with faded red wallpaper and a single
03:16chair facing the wall. On a dusty shelf, Daniel finds a wooden box, the same one from his childhood,
03:23once forbidden, once locked. Now it opens effortlessly. Inside, a black-and-white photograph
03:29of a woman standing by a strange wooden door. A page torn from a journal, marked with the same
03:36strange symbol as the letter a key wrapped in fabric, warm to the touch. Suddenly, the lights flicker and
03:44a faint piano begins to play from somewhere upstairs. Daniel climbs the staircase, each step groaning
03:50louder. At the end of the hall, a room stands open. Inside, a mirror covered with a sheet and a
03:57child's drawing scattered on the floor. They all depict the same image, a tall figure with no face
04:04standing by a black door, identical to the one in the photograph. As Daniel reaches for the drawing,
04:11a voice behind him whispers, He still lives in the walls. He spins around. No one there. He returns to
04:19the main hall. His phone rings. The screen is black, static. Then, a voice deep and slow,
04:26don't let it see you. Night falls quickly. Thunder rolls in the distance. Daniel descends into the
04:35basement, drawn by something he can't explain. The air is thick, metallic. Water drips steadily from
04:41rusted pipes. He finds an area where the wall looks newer, sealed over with concrete. Using a rusted crowbar,
04:48he begins to chip at it. With each strike, a faint knocking responds, from the other side, louder, more urgent,
04:57as if something has been waiting. The concrete splits. Dust rises. The final chunk falls away, revealing a black
05:05wooden door, carved with the same symbol from the letter. No handle. Just wood that breathes slightly, like a living chest.
05:13Daniel steps back, eyes wide. The lantern flickers violently and dies. Silence. Then, from behind the door,
05:21a long, deep inhale. Not mechanical. Not human. Cut to black. Title fades in. Part 2. The Descent. Coming soon.
