VOICEMAIL: THE SHORT FILM
PREMISE
A woman receives a voicemail from her own number. It’s her voice, screaming for help, describing an attack that hasn’t happened yet — timestamped for later that night. The woman stands a vending machine purchasing a drink! Then all a sudden she gets a random call from her own number, her own face? Before she could answer a drunk idiot falls near behind causing a loud noise! This causes the woman to drop her drink and she misses the call! The call is left with a voicemail! She is a little scared about the drunk man so she quickly gets into her car! When she gets into her car she immediately listens to the voicemail! The voicemail is a little hard to hear with a lot of static noise but the woman in the call sounds exactly like her, she is panicking in voice trying to warn the girl of what is about to happen to her, telling her things to do to avoid a fatal outcome! She brushes it off as this is some kind of prank, until things start adding up!
CONCLUSION
The woman isn’t warning you — she’s already gone. The voice on the voicemail isn’t hers anymore. It’s a mimic, an ancient predator that steals the forms of its victims. First, it copies your voice to make you trust it, whispering familiar words into your ear. Then it lures you in, step by step, guiding you straight to its den. Once you arrive, it kills you… and takes your face, your voice, your memories. To the world, you never left.
