Plot summary WHAT THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT

In  order  to  unravel  the  layers  of  mental-­‐physical  disorders  of  the  human  mind,  “Catatonia”  reveals  a  pathos  that  is  covered  with  a  visual  style  set  in  1960’s,  yet  contemporary  timelessness  that  ought  to  evoke  an  original  play  in  the  horror-­‐psychological  thriller  genre.  

The  story  begins  with  a  street  preacher  screaming  in  the  downtown  streets  of  El  Paso.  He  almost  prophesies  certain  things  to  come  within  our  story.  Overwhelmed  by  the  intensity  of  his  preaching  the  man  goes  into  cardiac  arrest.

At  this  point  is  where  we  are  introduced  to  Nurse  Samantha  and  Doctor  Murphy,  who  both  tend  to  him  at  the  hospital  trying  to  safe  his  life.  The  Preacher  dies,  and  Samantha’s  inexperience  with  death  becomes  evident.

Later  that  day,  Dr.  Murphy  now  tends  to  an  older  lady,  that  based  on  initial  introduction,  appears  to  be  one  of  his  patients.  She  is  catatonic,  and  is  always  in  her  wheelchair.  Judd,  the  woman's  son,  asks  Dr.  Murphy  for  some  one  to  take  care  of  his  mother  during  a  business  trip  over  the  weekend.    Despite  the  lack  of  experience  Samantha  ends  up  being  the  only  choice.

Dr.  Murphy  and  Samantha  meet  at  the  woman’s  house  along  with  Judd,  where  she  is  provided  with  all  the  directions  for  taking  care  of  this  woman,  as  Samantha  innocently  and  intently  listens.  

Dr.  Murphy  and  Judd  leave.  Then  Samantha  is  left  alone  with  her  patient  for  the  Rirst  time.

The  home  is  old.  The  hard  wood  Rloors  crack  as  if  though  someone  is  walking  

around.  The  woman's  piercing,  empty  stair,  though  expected  as  a  result  of  Catatonia,  is  still  very  frightening.  

Later  that  evening,  Samantha  comes  out  of  the  kitchen;  the  woman  is  next  to  the  door,  gaping  out.  It  is  impossible  for  that  to  occur.  

Sam  tries  to  talk  to  the  woman,  doubting  that  she’s  at  all  catatonic.

The  series  of  events  that  begin  to  occur  are  almost  paranormal.    Objects  move  by  themselves,  shadow  like  Rigures  appear  to  move  between  the  walls,  and  someone  or  something  is  writing  messages  in  a  journal.

She  calls  Dr.  Murphy,  who  promptly  soothes  her  fear  with  scientiRic  explanations,  and  she  is  brieRly  comforted.  

Only  that  comfort  quickly  dissipates,as  the  ivy  machine  falls  to  the  ground,  Samantha  picks  it  up  and  almost  feels  a  hand  grab  her  shoulder.  She’s  overwhelmed  with  the  paranormal  activity;  but  she  is  unable  to  leave  the  woman  by  herself  regardless  of  her  fear.    

Samantha  begins  to  question  herself:  

Is  the  woman  possessed?    Is  the  house  haunted?  

Or  are  their  darker  truths  lurking  underneath  the  catatonic  woman’s  telekinetic  abilities…

MAIN CHARACTERS

Nurse Samantha: A fragile build, but strong, stoic, young 20 some year old woman, with a solid sense of ethics towards her career as a nurse. She is not naive, but formal and respectful. She’s almost like a female lead in a Hitchcock film-a quick wit, but still reserved

Doctor Murphy:A charismatic young doctor, approximately 35. He’s nimble on his feet and seems very proactive. He’s also rather sleazy.

Judd:A 30 year old Engineer, who’s ambition seeps out his pores. He’s neurotic. Not as far as to call him geeky, but he leans towards that characteristic.But he has an intense gaze. You know he’s a man, who’s brain is always looking for the edge.

Catatonic Woman/ Mary

She’s 65 and is intense. She reveals a broken compassion that is on the edge of insanity due to the psychotic odyssey she finds herself in.
