Our Mock Film-Pitch

We are pitching to Blumhouse production company, with the name of our film being "Rub-A-Dub". The film is going to be about a serial killer that has an obsession with killing people in their bathrooms. Our movie is overall going to follow this estranged murderer as it kills its' victims and the police frantically try to catch the killer before they strike again. The opening sequence will cover the killer's first victim and basically set up the main plot for the film as a whole. This production company will be a good fit for our film because a lot of its most popular releases are horror movies. It also has some movies that have somewhat similar plot lines, so we are able to predict our success based on that.

Example Movies:

1. "Insidious"
2. "Scream" Series 
3. "The Purge"
4. "Unfriended"
5. "Get Out"

**Our movie mimics the "Scream"series to a certain extent, which in total grossed about $332 million. It is in the same horror category, and has potential to be just as successful.**

We will have secure resources with Blumhouse, because it is a very large production company with plenty of financing and equipment to help us produce our movie. 

Example Budgets:

1. "Get Out": $4.5 million
2. "It Follows": $2 million
3. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre": $300,000

Our predicted budget: $200,000

When talking about distribution, we were planning originally on going through film festivals for distribution. But, Blumhouse has signed a 10 year contract with Universal Pictures, who they now use as their distribution company. Due to this new contract, if Universal chooses to distribute our film, we will not have to go through the film festival circuit. '

Our project is an original movie that will prey on the audience's fear of death, especially the feelings of someone finding you vulnerable, in the bathroom. This movie will guarantee the attraction of our target audience and will be worth an investment.
