Synopsis: Alice, 32, a writer recovering from a psychological breakdown retreats to a remote Victorian house to convalesce and focus on finishing her screenplay in time for a fast approaching deadline. Shortly after her arrival, mysterious noises and strange happenings cause her imagination to run wild, sending her on a twisting and terrifying pursuit to find out what is behind the endless mind games. Frightened but intrigued, Alice gathers the courage to go up into the cold, dingy attic where she finds a shoe box filled with mini-dv tapes. The terrifying secret that lies within the tapes will unravel Alice's dark past.

No, not right now.

Why not?

Hm.

David, come on.

I'm serious.

Your smell Schoochy.

David. David!

What? Honey?

Just. You know. Jesus.

I just want

to be close

to you, honey, don't.

What?

Baby don't walk

away, I'm sorry.

What happened

to you, Lucy?

I'd like to see you.

Maybe I'll go back

to school in a few years.

Psychology?

You're right.

I never

thought about it

that way but it's true.

I'm going to,

uh, call you back.

Who you talking to?

Who were

you talking to?

Did you hear

what I said? Huh?

Who were you talking to?

This is getting ridiculous.

I, I can't

handle this any more.

Well then

just answer.

Answer what?

It's, I don't

have to answer.

It's a simple question.

Yeah you do! Who were

you talking to?

Your mother!

Alright? I- I was

talking to your mother!

What's happening to you?

Every day you're

like a different person.

I'm going to bed.

I would be more

comfortable if you

slept in the spare room.

Hello?

Lucy. Is that you?

You look like

an angel when you sleep.

Hello? Who is this?

Who is this?

David. David!

I told you

to stop filming me!

Where are you going?

David. Uh, I'm

just gonna take

a couple of days,

you know, take a break.

You're

you're smothering me!

Come on, close the door.

You're not leaving.

Close the door.

Just gimme the car keys.

No.

Just.

No!

I knew it.

You are not leaving

me for another man.

What?

Lucy, I've heard

you on the phone with him!

Talking.

Laughing. Flirting.

You, you

think I'm stupid!

David. Maybe,

maybe, you know,

we could talk to someone.

We could get some help.

Oh, really.

Oh, come on. No!

Help me.

Tell me what to do.

I'll do anything.

He thinks it's

someone else's baby.

It's cold.

Where's David?

What happened

to him, Lucy?

Lucy?

Show me.

Hey, I haven't heard

from you in days.

Something bad

happened here.

Look,

maybe you're

going through some kind

of delayed shock here,

you never really dealt

with what Ben did to you.

What are

you talking about?

A few months ago

Ben broke into the apartment

he went crazy,

saying the baby

belonged to someone else.

I don't remember that.

He tried to drown

you in the bath, Alice.

You miscarried the next day.

You had a breakdown.

You have to stop

denying this.

The missing tape.

You know if I had

the missing tape. If I

could find the missing tape.

What are

you talking about?

What missing tape?

He was always filming.

Always. There was an

empty tape box. Then

there's obviously another tape.

Listen, I need you

to do me a favor.

If you could get

on the Internet.

Just find out,

look up everything

on the name David Woods.

David Woods. Okay.
