Katuna (film idea)

Katuna 

The film starts in the year 1912. A small band of mountaineers ascend a mountain on a dangerously snowy day. They continue to trek up the mountainside as the storm worsens. Eventually they a forced to make camp on the only rocky ridge they can find. They have only waxed canvas tents and a few sparse trees for shelter. As the blizzard lashes outside eventually the mountaineers become seriously worried. To everyones surprise the steadfast leader of the group ,Marshall, stops breathing. Despite the crew's best efforts of something that resembles an old form of CPR Marshall passes away from a combination of hypothermia and frostbite but not before leaving these parting words "If it comes to this, i want you boys to eat my body, do what you can to survive." The three remaining members obviously refused this until the hours turned to days. They ashamedly ate Marshall as per his last wish. 

After finishing their 'Meal' the boys sat in utter silence, listening to the wind, it sounds like it is judging them as the angry flapping of the tent drove them mad. It wasn't long after that Jack died too. Steve and Michael , the last surviving members of the once strong group , repeated the same process. The human flesh made them feel rather peculiar. They felt powerful but hungrier, so much hungrier, but only for one thing. Arguments broke out between the pair and in a flurry of rage and hunger Michael hit Steve with an oil lamp and began to eat his unconscious body.

None of the boys were to know the curse of eating human flesh. The body becomes larger, stronger, practically immortal and distorted into a hideous monster. But with these 'advantages' comes the curse. The total loss of your mind, an unquenchable thirst for human blood and hunger for human meat.

The film then continues 100 years later four teenagers set up camp on a mountainside. This mountainside now rich with tall trees and bushy undergrowth has been plagued with mysterious deaths for years, but the teenagers were not scared, they wanted to tempt fate and overthrow the legend of the woods. They huddle around a campfire on a rocky outcrop. They sit singing and laughing until they see a figure between the trees in the distance, it looks like a man, that appears to have been in an accident. He draws closer. The teens sit deadly still. Thunderclaps in the distance. They turn to look . They turn back to the figure. He is bang next to them now. Michael. The monster. The Katuna. The film ends with a close up on the Katuna's face.
