Haunted Dreams - My pitch for an idea for a new horror movie.

The film tells the story of 3 room mates who move into an apartment together, and strange things happen whilst they’re asleep (example - waking up in the morning and furniture has been moved around). The guys then begin to believe their new apartment is haunted, as the incidents begin to happen more frequently. 

The 3 guys get cameras set up around the home, both normal webcams as well as thermal cameras to detect the paranormal.

One morning one room mate awakes to find his friend death in the kitchen floor, with blood everywhere and a knife laying beside him. Frightened, he watches the webcams back, only to see his friend being pulled out of bed and knifed to death by himself.  He deletes the video footage and insists to the other room mate that his friend had committed suicide. 

But weeks later, the same thing begins to happen, but to the other room mate. However this room mate is stronger, and tougher, and battles his way out from his ‘friends’ grasp. He slaps the ‘friend’ and in doing so, he disc overs that he was asleep, and he awakes questioning his actions. The room mate then confronts him insisting that he did kill the other room mate, but not intentionally - but in a deep sleep.

He is then sent to a hospital where he is monitored closely - but not close enough, as he continues to get from his bed at night, whilst asleep, and kill other patients in the hospital. 

Nothing can stop him, as soon as night falls and he falls asleep, it is almost as if a demon is taking over him forcing to do such things. Eventually, nurses insist he sleep in a bed where his legs and arms are clamped down.

However, in the middle of the night, whilst a nurse is circling the hospital to check on the patients, she notices the door to his room wide open, and the locks on his bed broken and the patient - missing. 

The police are called, and a hunt is let out to find the killer. The police follow his footsteps back to the most obvious place - his apartment. They burst through the door to find the room mate dead on the floor, in a pool of his own blood, and with the killer about to stab a knife through his own heart. They attempt to stop him, but by the time they do so, he has already thrusted the knife through his chest - in doing so, waking himself up to recognize his actions, before dyeing a slow, painful death, and leaving the audience frightened about the horror they can’t control, a living, walking nightmare.
