Film Summary
Character list:
Mrs Bluff (Alice)
· Mr Ferral (Nathan)
· Mrs Lust (unknown)

The film is set in the 1920’s
and is based around the game cluedo, in which a murder takes place, however, we
are unaware of who the murderer is. The characters consist of two couples, who
are on a romantic getaway in the country, as well as a house maid.
The establishing shot shows Mrs
Lust walking at a pace around the manor grounds, where it appears that she is
being followed by someone. At this point, the music picks up, leaving the
viewers anticipating that something bad is about to happen. The next shot we
see is of Mrs Lust dead, lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood, yet the
murderer remains a mystery.
The scene cuts to inside the
manor later on that day, where the characters are trying to work out how Mrs
Lust was killed; they are all sitting round a coffee table and each take turns
of giving their alibi. Mrs Bluff tells her version of event first, explaining
how she woke up and fed the swans, at this point Archie becomes suspicious and
tries to accuse her of playing a part in his wife’s death.
Mr Ferral then defends his
wife, stating that she would never kill anybody. He then goes onto telling his
story of how he was eating breakfast and yet again, experiences just a normal
day. However, Mr Ferral makes a comment about how he had heard archie and Mrs
lust arguing, therefore pinning the blame onto him.
Archie gets angry at this comment
and creates a huge argument between himself and Mr Ferrel, saying that he would
never kill his own wife, there is a lot of shouting and suddenly both
characters pull out a gun. They both aim for each other and lots of gunshots
are heard, yet it is unclear of who is actually dead at this point.
Mr Ferrel accidentally shoots Mrs
Bluff and then Archie and Mrs bluff both fall to the floor. Mr Ferral is dead
at this point, however, Mrs Bluff is half alive and admits that she was the who
who murdered Mrs lust because she was having an affair with her husband. Mr
ferrel drops to the floor and holds Mrs Bluff in his arms.
We then get a flash back of Mrs
bluff murdering Mrs Lust with a knife. The shot then goes back to the current
situation in the room. The maid who is sitting in the corner of the room
quietly then decides to ring the police.
As the police pull up outside
the manor, Mr ferrel shoots himself with a gun. At this point, all characters,
apart from the maid, are lying dead on the floor. The maid is the only
survivor. The film ends by silent shots of each dead body on the floor and then
cuts to the credits.
