Film Classification
The certificate for our film is most likely to be rated a '15'. Our film is to include not much/very little violence. But is to include alot of strong language, to further support the certificate rating we're aiming for. The story of the thriller is not too intense and gory to be an age rating of 18. Our film 'Continuity' will be a detective based thriller film, therefore will cause a lot of tension and suspense with the added bonus of the film being rated '15', meaning we can have more fear factor added.

Synopsis
Thriller Film - Continuity
To come up with our thriller story, we started with a very basic idea and began to build upon it with a more in-depth story. This gradually turned in to enough ideas to make a full movie, but for obvious reasons, we can not do such a thing.
Our story follows NYPD Detective Kyle Henly Jr. Two years ago, his family was brutally murdered in their own home, leaving Henly to discover their bloodied bodies in the bedroom when he returned from work. Haunted by the events, Henly takes a break from the force as he attempts to move on from the events. He begins having a reoccuring nightmare of him discovering the corpses, only the dream is much more gruesome and haunting than the actual experience. In this dream, next to his wifes body, engraved in a wall, says the words, "You know me".
Now, he is returning to the police force. His first case back is a murder, and Henly cannot help but notice similarities in the way the victim was killed to his own families death. The murders turn into the hunt for a dangerous serial killer, as Henly becomes more and more sure that it is the same man that killed his family. As Henly investigates, he begins having visions of how the victims were killed; as though he can see them actually dying. The visions get stronger and stronger, and eventually mean he can see victims being murdered whose bodies haven't been found yet. As this occurs, the more victims that are found, the nightmare begins to start further and further back. Henly becomes obsessed with finding the killer and finding the victims so he can see, in his dream, the killer actually performing the killings and as such can be identified. Despite this obsession, he becomes curious as to his premonitions and visits a psychologist, who gives him a brain scan and tells him to await the results.
Henly continues on with the case, dealing with his obsession and trying to track the killer down. Finally, he has a dream, and sees the killer.
A psychologist visits the police station he works at, with the results of the brain scan, demanding the police look at it. The brain scan reveals that Henly is a schizophrenic, who for some reason has only selective attacks of his split-personality. This split-personality has become fully-functional since he rejoined the police.
The police track Henly down as he is about to kill himself, as it was revealed to him in his dream that he is the killer. The "visions" he was having was simply his memory being jogged.
Henly is arrested just in time, and an interview takes place, both with Henly, and his alter-ego, who calls himself, "Drew Haddey". The police are disturbed to discover, that when looking into Henly's past records, he has nothing. Everything about him has been wiped from history. No mothers name, ancestors or any other kind of family can be found. A psychologist then makes a horrifying discovery. Kyle Henly Jr.'s name, is an anagram of, "Henry Jekyll", and his alter-ego's name is an anagram of, "Edward Hyde". Now that Henly realises who, and what, he is; his brain forms a connection between the two characters and he begins gaining all of Haddey's memories. He see's Haddey killing the victims, participating in underground cage fights among other various activities. Lastly, he has a flash-back of how he killed his family. His wife greets him home, asking why he is home early and explaining she was just about to go out with their kids. She proceeds into the bedroom where the kids are waiting. Henly see's Haddey follow them in with a kitchen knife. He watches the struggle, and witnesses Haddey brutally kill all three of them once again. Haddey removes his clothes, throwing them into a bin bag weighted with bricks. It then cuts to Haddey in the same outfit, with the binbag, throwing it into a river.
Henly returns to reality with this connection between his two minds. Unbeknown to the police, he gains Haddey's strength, aggressiveness and anger. However, he keeps his usual code of self-moral, and is driven insane as he realises what he has done. He is allowed to read the case file, making the police believe he is just Henly rather than his psychopathic counterpart, who is now the same person. The FBI arrives at the interview and quickly takes Henly to be transferred, and is handcuffed. Henly smuggles the paperclip used to hold the file together into his pocket.
He is shown in the back of an FBI truck, which is a landrover type vehicle. Henly uses the paper clip to undo his handcuffs. He then jams the loose hancdcuff into the throat of the agent next to him. The agent infront, in the passenger seat, turns around just in time to see a gun shoved in his face. Bang. The driver is then shot immediately afterwards.
Henly goes missing.
Eventually, he is found in the house where he had lived. Crouched over where his families bodies once lay. The house is surrounded by armed police; who storm the building. Henly locks himself in the bedroom. The door is eventually broken down. Henly takes shots at the storming officers, hitting and even killing a few of them. As he runs out of ammunition, he is gunned down by the police. He falls to the floor, on his back, staring at the ceiling. Glancing to his side, he sees a hallucination of his family, lay next to him. Staring into his wifes eyes, they slowly glaze over. As he stares into his wifes eyes, he hears the screams of all the people he has killed. Finally, they stop. He smiles at his wife, and she smiles back. She then says, "You know me.", as it scrawls onto the wall next to her. Henly then takes his last breath, and dies.
