Story update

After several days of trying to figure how to make a good story without over complicating it, I finally came up with an idea. Me and Matthew Topham had been working out an ending. We both agreed from the beginning that we wanted the twist to be that the die is possessing the main character, but we had trouble trying to make it work. We even suggested revealing that the die was possessed at the beginning if the film, but we thought that this would spoil everything.

My solution was to make the audience believe the character was crazy by having him talk to the die. Then at the end of the film, after he has murdered an innocent, he throws the die away. A man sees the die on the ground and picks it up. Upon picking up the die, his head shakes violently (see the Jacob's Ladder effect video). The man walks up behind the main character, who is sat up a bench, and strangles him. After he has killed him, he holds the die in his hand and stares at it unemotionally. A demonic voice suddenly says "Your soul is mine." to the man. The film ends there.

Matthew came up with the idea of the main character dying at the end, but I didn't know how to make it work. After discussing it, we decided that the guy who gets possessed at the end should kill the main character. Matthew thought that it could be a cycle in which the person who carries the die must kill the previous possessor. This reveals that there have been a lot more people possessed in the past and a lot more to come.
