Possible film Treatment One

This is just an idea for an film treatment. We've decided that the killer should be a child, this will depen the impact due to the innocent and unassuming nature of children.

A young disturbed child is sent to an orphanage after their previous foster parents “disappeared”, we witness strange and disturbing behaviour whilst the child is in the orphanage. The child is eventually adopted again and moves in with their new foster parents.

After a few weeks the house appears to be empty, the house slowly looks more and more dilapidated and abandoned. The neighbour becoming more and more aware of this decides to investigate the house because of noises she hears and the fact that she thought the house was lived in, because she met the people who lived there.

After entering the house she finds the dead and dismembered bodies of the couple who lived there and adopted the child. While looking around the house we find the child sitting in the dark lit only by a candle. The neighbour tries helping the child but as she gets closer she is surprised by the child, as it lunges at her with a snapped wooden pole, but she is not killed. She is then tortured by the child then killed.

The child manages to lure several other victims (3 children, 2 teens and 2 adults) into the house from the street and local area and kills them. After each killing the police are involved they discover the bodies in the house, but not the child.

After a period of time the police, station two police personnel outside to monitor the house. They see the child inside, and after the same searching of the house and finding the child in the corner lit by candle light the police move close and the bring the child to the police station. After an interrogation of the child, it is returned to the same orphanage where it was adopted from at the start of the film and the story continues.
