SYNOPSIS

SUICIDE APARTMENT

In an apartment a depressed goth-girl, ABIGAIL (18) commits suicide by slicing her wrist with a kitchen knife.
Now we meet our heroine, EMMA (17). She's a sweet-natured student living in a house with her alcoholic MOM (42). Emma wants to get a life of her own so she meets with a LANDLORD (49) and rents a furnished apartment in town. This is the same apartment where the suicide happened. At first Emma is happy living by herself, but soon she gets depressed and stops going to school. She has a nightmare about finding a pool of blood on the floor.
An OLD LADY (68) in the building tells the truth about the apartment - that a suicide happened there.
Emma has another nightmare, this time about committing suicide herself with a kitchen knife.

Emma searches the internet and finds information that negative energy can remain in an apartment after a suicide - and affect the next tenant.

Mom wants her to move back home and Emma agrees. As they're packing Emma tries to slice her own wrist with a knife, but mom intercepts and saves Emma.
As Emma moves back into mom's house the depression goes away.
Meanwhile the landlord lets another girl, REBECCA (18) rent the apartment. Soon she gets depressed. Emma warns her about the apartment, but Rebecca doesn't believe her. Later Rebecca kills herself with a kitchen knife. Emma is devastated that she couldn't save her life.
Emma confronts the landlord and makes him promise to let the apartment stay empty from now on. But the landlord lied and lets another girl, NATALIE (17) rent the apartment.

Emma warns Natalie about the negative energy in the apartment, but Natalie performs a cleansing ritual with salt that's supposed to get rid of bad energy.

But it doesn't work.
Natalie gets depressed and changes her appearance into a goth-girl, just like Abigail.

Natalie now slits her wrist with a knife. Emma tries to save her but gets suicidal herself and cuts her own wrist.

It looks like an unhappy ending with both Emma and Natalie lying on the floor, bleeding, dying.
But Emma finds the power to rise to her feet. She leaves the apartment carrying Natalie in her arms.
Both Emma and Natalie survive. A happy ending after all.
In the final scene the landlord enters the apartment and gets depressed. Moments later he slashes his wrist.
