UPDATE: New Narrative

REAPER:

Characters:

• Zola 'Mils' Grace - female protagonist.
• Grimm - antagonist (masked man).
• Seb Grace - younger brother.
• Rupert Grace - Dad.
• Jane Grace - Mum.

Clearer Narrative:

• Zola returns home from a friend's house to babysit her younger brother Seb, whilst their mum & dad (Rupert & Jane) are heading away for the night.
• Once the Rupert and Jane are far gone, the mysterious man, 'Grimm', then stalks the house and takes advantage of Zola and Seb's weakness.
• Grimm keeps appearing and stalking Zola, once Seb is put to bed. 
• After a series of events, Zola comes across Grimm when she takes out the trash, which he jumps out and chases her, but somehow disappeared. 

Ending:

• The way we brainstormed to create a clearer ending to REAPER, is that Zola will be outside after being chased by Grimm, leaving the door open, which Grimm sneaks in without her seeing.
• However, Zola recognises this and sprints in panic back into the house hoping Seb is safe.
• It then calms down, and Zola leaves Seb and shuts the door, which is when Grimm jumps out behind the door, and 'kills' Seb.
• Not shown, but is assumed that he also kills her too.

Reasoning:

The reason for this ending, is that due to analysing several short film horrors, they all have a mysterious but assumed ending due to the budget of a glory death but also limited time available to.

Therefore, this type of ending is present in the short films;

• The Moonlight Man
• The Moonlight Man 2
• 2AM: The Smiling Man
•  Alexia
• The Smiling Man

The list of short films horrors that have this ending goes on forever.
