Portraits by Michael Newbold Smith (replica) - Horror - Family man Anthony's life is in an uproar: his rebellious teenage daughter is getting into trouble with the law, and his father just died in a freak household accident. When he inherits his late father's old summer house in Maine, he uproots his family to spend a quiet Christmas break in "The Bungalow" to decide if they want to keep or sell it before the summer rolls around. His young son is delighted, but before long, Anthony and his wife Kate begin to suffer horrifying hallucinations and nightmares. Does the seemingly pleasant house have something to do with it, or are they losing their minds? Driven by fear and morbid curiosity, Anthony delves deeper into his family's history and unearths a shocking secret that should have stayed buried. 121 pages - doc, format 8)

Thanks, Don, for posting my script. I hope everyone enjoys it.

I've been writing and filmmaking for years, but I'm new to this site and this forum. I enjoy browsing people's scripts and ideas. It sounds like there's a lot of creativity out there.

I've started to make some revision notes for "Portraits" in order to tighten it up and flesh out the central themes a bit better. The draft available on here is my first draft. It's a work in progress. I'm hoping to film the revised script on a low budget during the winter. Enjoy.

Mike
