It's John

Found footage comedy horror. A group of amateur filmmakers discover a cursed children's book while filming in a deserted forest. The book is about a boy called John. And once you've seen John's picture in the book, he can come out of it...

Smithy Jones (a geeky amateur filmmaker) is trying to make a fantasy film with his childhood friend, Calvin, and two actors, Marcus and Leona. While filming overnight in a deserted forest, Marcus discovers an old illustrated children's book in the roots of a tree. It contains a strange warning about one of the characters within it: "Once you've seen John, he can see you. And he's coming to get you." As the night shoot continues, John gradually reveals himself and his murderous intentions to the team of filmmakers...

This short film has a spin-off called It Was John
