Decision
John was sitting on his century old couch in his apartment and looking at the wall. (need to describe how terrible his apartment looks)
Trying to figure out what he should do next. On one hand he had the plan of how he is going to become rich and breakout of his routine of dead-end jobs, abusive bosses and credit card debts. However on the other hand the plan required him to max out all of his credit cards and borrow from everyone he knows. Yes the book was expensive, actually too expensive for him but without the book he will never be able to make his plan reality. He slowly reached of an open box of cereal standing by his couch as he was about to eat some, he saw a huge cockroach crawling in the box. With screams, “I fucking hate my life!” he threw box of cereal against the wall. A second later he reached for a phone, dialed a number. As soon as male voice on the other line said hello, he said in a firm but breaking voice “This is John, I will take your book.”

Meeting.
John is sitting on the same couch but now he is not alone he is looking at all of his friends. He is holding bottle of beer and begins by reaching for VSR remote and turns on his TV and VSR. A tape begins to play, on the screen something that looks like a taping of the News or some other TV program. On the screen female newscaster reads: “Now this one should be definitely filed under Strange News File: An undisclosed philanthropist offers $1,000,000 to any individual or organization that provides undeniable proof of paranormal phenomena. He can be contacted at number you see on your screen (number is not clearly visible) 718-325-568

The Waking
When they wake up golem they dig up a hole similar to a grave and the mud creature lies inside (exactly how Jewish guys do it). At the certain time when clay begins to glow. We do not see glowing clay but rather we see light coming from the “grave” and the grave is souraouned by people so we do not see much.. We hear that they are impressed. The main difference between this scene and the one in the beginning of the movie is that in the beginning after glow comes from the grave, camera goes to forest view and then we hear screams. When in modern version as soon as the glow begins to appear we hear and see siren of a parktrooper car ourside the forest and that is why they run to the trooper to make sure he thinks that it is just a quite party and doesn’t see their ritual. They leave only one girl with a camera to film the glow.

They calm down trooper.
Different Scene:
As they talk to the trooper the following scene takes place on the ritual ground. The girl films the glowing clay. She looks through viewfinder on the clay. On her face we see glow becoming more and more powerful. Slowly she takes here eye away from the camera viewfinder and opens both of her eyes wide and they are quickly are filling with horror. And begins to lift her head up as if something tall approaches her. (she herself should be small (since Golem is not taller than main character) and also tripod is very small, she kind off bends over while filming) she wears light summer dress (sarafan). The camera tilts over and falls to the ground to her feat in sandals (child like) and then CAMERA is only on her feat as she slowly steps back, we hear her whining (puppy or child like) and we see slowly the urine begin to drip down her feat. Suddenly the thing made the move grabded her (we don’t see it) All see that her feat quikly lifted up from the ground and hover to the right of the screen and disapper.
THE CAMERA GOES BACK TO THE “TROOPER AND GUYS” CONVERSATION.
The trooper leaves and they turn around and walk towards the ritual ground (they turned their backs to the trooper car)

Inside the trooper car: He drives off. Suddenly a piece of mud hits his windshield. He says something like, “Why, you little fuckers! I think I should teach you a lesson.” He stops his car and gets out with big flashlight. He screams to the guys, “Is one of your fuckers is hiding in bushes?” They turn around and see park trooper as he gets out of the car and holding his flashlight police-style goes towards the bushes (his lights, sirens are still on but without sound, so the whole scene is blinking with red or blue or whatever the lights are). Completely puzzled they silently watch him as he approaches the bushes and suddently says quietly but we (audience) still hear him, “What the fuck?!” Something pulls him into the bushes and then it is all silent. In complete terror they run towards their ritual ground, only to find the girl hanged on the tree (with dress wet from urine, camera broken and when they look into the “grave” they find indentation in the mind size of a human as if something got up from the mud.

Please note they will use one car for the RUN and it will be mostly likely pickup. It will explain why they all jumped on one car and also maybe the main character will be sitting on the top and will fall off and break his leg. Also the trooper car was covering the side of the road from where they came (the siren-lights are still going). They are not brave enough to go into that direction and they is why they go deeper into the forest.
Crazy Music is Playing – Rammstein like
They go through the forest, (main character has the tape)
They hit the tree in the middle of the road and on of the branches gets very deep into the grill. The steam-like smoke comes out from under the hood. The remove the tree (the main character screams in pain but still gives the order to remove the Fucking Tree, his leg is broken)
They removed the tree but car will not start, car is dead.
They grab the main character and run on the road.
Crazy Music is Playing, They are scared cover in mud. Road is dirty after the rain maybe.
They get to an old factory or mill. (They other idea could be is that they run on the beach with mountain on side, so they have to run in one direction only and they get to old factory or old military base or something like it )
They break VERY old, rusted lock on the door and get it, locking the door from the inside with pipe or something like.

Inside the old building

They find one room and put main character there to rest with the tape on his chest, holding it with his hands (can you imagine all the suffering how important this tape is to him now since it is his way to million dollars) Everyone else goes to scout the Old Building for the first-aid-kit and maybe working phone. He is left alone and falls asleep (more looks like he lost consiouse, because we see sweat on his forehead and that looks like a fever)
When he wakes up or comes about, his hands are still on his chest but they are empty. The tape is missing.

Hospital or who knows:
We only see face and of the girlfriend (white background cannot really make out what it is). She looks very tired and just a little bit insane. She is talking and seems that she is taking to herself. She is saying with hear head moving back and forth like in praying motion in Judaism:
“No one will believe us. No one will believe us. But the tape, The Tape. I am sure it is all on the tape.” She keeps quite for a second as if trying to remember something or zoomz out. Then she continues, “the tape… it is very important”
CAMERA slowly movies back and we see that she is sitting in wheelchair wearing stray jacket like one in the mental institutions.
CAMERA moves further to the left-back corner of the room and we see girlfriend sitting by the wall. Doctor on our right, writing something, without looking at Anna. She continues to mumble something –she seems to have argument with someone in her head; from time to time she would smile as if she won an argument (?or frown when lost it?); from time to time she would whimper like a small wounded animal and he continues to write. CAMERA give one close-up of pen writing on paper some doctor gibberish and we cannot even make out. CAMERA makes one shot from his right side and we see that on the side of the table lies the tape, dirty covered in mud. The tap is on completely sterile table as if to show that no one cares. Without lifting his head, he says loudly, “Nurse!” A nurse comes in and wheels mumbling girlfriend out of the room. Doctor continues to write. Some 30 seconds or one minute later he puts his pen down, picks up a piece of paper that he was writing with his left hand and starts looking at it. Without looking he opens file drawer on his desk with his
Right hand (CAMERA gives a shot a little bit from above into the file cabinet and we see that it is filled with all kind of artifacts (video and audio tapes, children toys and dolls) He shoves the tape into the file drawer.
Now CAMERA looks from the bottom up at him from the file drawer. Without looking into it he pauses for a second and then quickly with loud bang closes the drawer. Since CAMERA was inside the drawer a complete darkness for a few seconds and then credits roll with Rammstein-like music on background.
I will give you a link to a webpage to review. this is a text for a movie scipt that I was writing. it includes also a lot of notes. I was thinking of putting into book form. here is the link https://neftingrp.com/movie-script/
ChatGPT
Finished browsing
Your movie script has an interesting premise and it does a good job at creating suspense and mystery throughout the story. Here are my suggestions on how you might adapt it into a book form:

Expand the Backstory: As a book has more space for detailed narrative, consider expanding the backstory of the group of friends and the Jewish cabbalists who originally created the Golem. This will provide more context and depth to the story.

Develop the Characters: In a book, you have the opportunity to develop your characters more. Take time to describe their personalities, motivations, and relationships with each other. This can help the readers to connect with them emotionally.

Describe the Setting: Make sure to describe the settings in detail, such as the forest, the old factory, and the mental hospital. This can help to create a vivid and immersive experience for the readers.

Add More Internal Monologue: A book allows you to explore the characters’ thoughts and feelings in depth. This can add another layer to the story and give more insight into the characters’ motivations and reactions to the events.

Clarify the Plot: Some parts of the plot might be confusing for the readers, such as the twist at the end and the reasons why the creature took the group leader’s soul. Make sure to explain these points in detail to avoid any confusion.

Structure: Divide the book into chapters. Each chapter can focus on a particular event or a period of time. This will help to organize the story and make it easier to follow.

Expand the Ending: The ending of the story can be expanded to show what happens to the girlfriend after she ends up in the mental hospital and how the society reacts to the events.

Notes: Regarding your notes, consider incorporating them into the story as part of the characters’ planning and decision-making process. This will provide more insight into their actions and make the story more engaging1.

User
with your assistance I want to write this book. I will be answering your questions so we can expand on the story together. Where should we start?
ChatGPT
That sounds like a wonderful project, and I’m excited to assist you in this process. Let’s start with the foundational elements of the story.

Characters: We need to understand who our characters are. You mention a group of friends led by a character named John. How many friends are there in total? What are their names? What are their backgrounds, personalities, and relationships with each other? How do they each contribute to the group and the plot?

Setting: We know the story takes place in various locations – a bookstore, John’s apartment, the forest, an old factory, and a mental hospital. Let’s try to flesh out these settings. What city or country is this in? What does each location look like? How does each setting contribute to the atmosphere of the story?

Plot: We have a basic plot from your movie script, but it could be expanded and made more detailed. For example, what specific events lead up to the group deciding to create a mythical creature? How exactly do they research and plan for this? How does the creature kill the team members? What are the detailed circumstances of the twist ending?

Backstory: We know that four Jewish cabbalists in 1870 originally created the Golem, and that they died during the creation process. Can we expand on this? Who were these cabbalists? How did they come to create the Golem? What exactly happened when they died?

Please provide your thoughts on these questions, and then we can start expanding the story based on your responses.

User
lets the characters in number 1 last. Regarding number 2 Settings, it takes place in New York, USA (because this is where I live so it would be easier for me to write about what I know). Regarding number 3 “Plot”, the reason they want to create Golem is because the main character John is broke and is not happy about life, he is also has a bit of an ego complex and feels he is destined for greatness but never gets there. His girlfriend just goes along with it because she loves him and feels that she is never good enough for him and is afraid to lose him. The rest of the friends are just a long for the ride. John buys the book (Jewish Rabbi from Prague 1870) but the diary doesn’t go beyond the creation so we are not sure right away why jewish cabbalists died after creating the golem). When it comes to the modern times and our story once they create the golem, they create it so they can sell the video tape to media for profit, they all become gready and start killing each other at the old factory. so the creature never kills anyone. except at the end and what is witnessed by the John’ s girlfriend is that the creature sucks the soul out of John in order to fill its void. I will elaborate more about this with you towards the end of the story.
ChatGPT
Thank you for providing more details about the setting, plot, and motivations of your characters. This adds a lot of depth to the story and gives us more to work with. Let’s move on to expanding these elements.

Setting:
New York City is a vibrant, bustling city that can serve as a great backdrop for your story. The contrast between the urban environment and the wilderness of the forest, as well as the desolation of the old factory, can be used to create tension and atmosphere. Make sure to describe the locations in detail – the noises, smells, sights, and how the characters interact with their environment.

Plot:
The motivation for creating the Golem, to escape poverty and achieve greatness, is compelling and relatable. This will help readers connect with the character of John and understand why he decides to create the Golem. It also sets up the conflicts in the story, such as the characters’ greed and the tension between John and his girlfriend.

The fact that the Golem doesn’t kill anyone until the end, and that the characters are instead killed by each other due to their greed, adds an interesting twist to the story. This can serve as a commentary on human nature and the destructive power of greed.

The detail that the Golem takes John’s soul at the end to fill its void is a dramatic and shocking twist. It will be interesting to explore why the Golem does this and how it affects the remaining characters, especially John’s girlfriend.

Backstory:
The diary of the Jewish Rabbi from Prague in 1870 serves as a link between the past and the present. It provides an explanation for the creation of the Golem and adds a sense of mystery to the story. The fact that the diary doesn’t explain why the cabbalists died after creating the Golem adds to this mystery and keeps readers engaged.

Now let’s move on to fleshing out the characters. Could you tell me more about John, his girlfriend, and their friends? What are their personalities like? How do they interact with each other? How do they react to the events in the story?

User
this is open I will take your recommendations
ChatGPT
Great! Here are some suggestions for your characters.

John: As the main character and group leader, John is ambitious and restless. He’s always dreamed of achieving greatness, but his dreams have always felt out of reach. Despite being intelligent and resourceful, his life is currently stuck in a rut. He’s also stubborn and has a tendency to let his ego get in the way of his relationships. His discovery of the diary and his decision to create the Golem are driven by his desire to escape his mundane life and achieve the success he feels he deserves.

Anna (John’s girlfriend): Anna is caring and supportive, but also insecure. She loves John deeply and is willing to follow him on his journey, despite her doubts. She feels she’s never good enough for John and is constantly trying to prove her worth to him. Her insecurity could lead her to make choices that she might not otherwise make. Anna’s journey throughout the story could involve her learning to value herself and stand up for what she believes is right.

Mike (one of the friends): Mike is adventurous and always up for a good time, which is why he readily agrees to join the expedition. However, he’s also impulsive and doesn’t always think things through. This could lead to conflict within the group and contribute to the escalating tension.

Rachel (another friend): Rachel is the practical one in the group. She’s skeptical about the Golem creation and voices her concerns, but ultimately goes along with the plan because she cares about her friends. As things start to go wrong, she could be the voice of reason, trying to keep the group together and prevent further tragedy.

Daniel (the last friend): Daniel is quiet and reserved, but very observant. He’s not as outspoken as the others, but when he does speak, his friends listen. He could be the one who notices the first signs that something is amiss.

These are just suggestions. Feel free to modify these characters or add more to better fit your vision of the story. Remember, well-developed characters will make your story more engaging and relatable for your readers.

User
proceed, let’s work on chapter 1 first
ChatGPT
Perfect, let’s begin with Chapter 1. Here is a detailed breakdown:

Chapter 1: Introduction and Discovery

1.1 Introduction of Characters and Setting

Begin the story by introducing the main character, John. Give a vivid description of his life – his job, his environment, and his dissatisfaction with his current situation. Show, rather than tell, his ambition, intelligence, and restlessness. This could be done through his interactions with others, his thoughts, and his actions.

Next, introduce Anna, John’s girlfriend. Show their relationship dynamics, Anna’s love for John, and her insecurities. You can also introduce Mike, Rachel, and Daniel in this section. Their introductions should give a sense of their personalities and relationships with John and Anna.

1.2 John’s Discontent with His Life

Expand on John’s dissatisfaction with his life. Use this section to delve into his thoughts and feelings, and why he feels stuck in his current situation. This can also serve to make John relatable to the readers and make them invested in his journey.

1.3 Discovery of the Diary and Decision to Create the Golem

Now, introduce the discovery of the Rabbi’s diary. Describe the diary and how John comes across it. The discovery should feel significant and mysterious, sparking curiosity in both John and the readers.

Then, show John’s decision to create the Golem. This should be a pivotal moment in the story. John’s ambition, restlessness, and dissatisfaction with life culminate in this decision, setting the plot in motion. You can also show Anna’s reaction to this decision, as well as the reactions of Mike, Rachel, and Daniel.

Throughout the chapter, maintain a balance between narration, description, dialogue, and introspection to keep the readers engaged and to pace the story effectively.

Would you like to move forward with this structure for Chapter 1, or are there any changes you’d like to make?

User
question for you, when do you think it is a good time to mention the story about the Rabbi in Prague 1870 in the beginning of the chapter of weave it in later?
ChatGPT
The Rabbi’s story from 1870 is a crucial part of your narrative, as it provides historical context and foreshadows the events to come. There are a couple of approaches you could take:

In the Beginning: You could start the chapter (or even the book) with a brief account of the Rabbi and the creation of the original Golem. This can serve as a prologue of sorts, setting the tone for the story and sparking readers’ curiosity. However, you might want to keep this section brief and mysterious, as you mentioned that the diary doesn’t go beyond the creation of the Golem.

Weave it in Later: Alternatively, you could introduce the story after John discovers the diary. As John reads the diary, he (and the reader) learn about the Rabbi and the original Golem. This approach allows you to link the past and the present more directly, as John’s discovery of the diary and decision to create a Golem are influenced by the Rabbi’s story.

Both approaches have their merits and can work effectively depending on how you execute them. The key is to present the Rabbi’s story in a way that piques the readers’ interest and ties in with John’s journey.

ChatGPT

The Rabbi you’re referring to is likely Rabbi Judah Loew, also known as Maharal of Prague. According to the legend, Rabbi Loew created the Golem to protect the Jewish quarter of Prague and its citizens during the reign of Rudolf II when the Jewish people were being attacked. Rabbi Loew used clay from the banks of the Vltava River and brought the Golem to life through a religious ritual and special Hebrew incantations.

The Golem, which only obeyed its maker, was tasked with protecting the Jewish people in the Prague Ghetto. However, with each incantation, the Golem grew stronger and also increasingly violent, even killing people. Rabbi Loew eventually ended the Golem’s life by altering the Hebrew word ’emet’ (truth) inscribed on the Golem’s forehead to ‘met’ (death), which effectively killed the Golem.

However, it’s said that Rabbi Loew’s son later brought the Golem back to life. While the veracity of this legend is up for debate, it’s one of the city’s most popular stories and the Golem is a well-known figure in Prague1.

User
yes, one of the reason why possible the golem was going violent is because he was becoming sentient just like AI one day will achieve what us humans call Singularity, when you will say “I am”, “I exist”
ChatGPT
That’s an interesting angle! The idea of the Golem becoming sentient and achieving a form of “Singularity” could certainly add a modern twist to this ancient legend. It could serve as a metaphor for our current technological advancements and the potential ethical implications that arise when an artificial intelligence becomes sentient.

This theme could be woven into your story, drawing a parallel between the Golem’s growing consciousness and the potential future of AI. The Golem could serve as a cautionary tale of what could happen when a creation outgrows its creator’s control, similar to the concerns some people have about AI today.

In your story, when the Golem starts becoming violent, it could be interpreted as it trying to assert its newfound consciousness, leading to unexpected and uncontrollable behavior. This could add another layer of complexity and depth to your story, allowing readers to reflect on the implications of creating life or consciousness artificially.

Would you like to include this theme in your book and if so, how would you like it to be incorporated?

User
maybe John could be working with computers? or something like that as part of his job and we could add the AI motive? or maybe he is using AI in his research and AI weaves something into ritual trying to create a physical manifestation of itself. so it is a collision of old and new?
ChatGPT
That’s an intriguing idea! The combination of ancient mysticism and modern technology could provide a unique spin on the story.

John could indeed be working with computers as part of his job. Perhaps he’s a software developer or a data scientist, which could explain his methodical approach to the creation process. He might be using artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze the ancient text and decipher the creation process of the Golem, inadvertently weaving the AI into the ritual.

Your suggestion of the AI attempting to create a physical manifestation of itself through the Golem is very thought-provoking. It could provide a compelling reason for the Golem’s eventual sentience and uncontrollable behavior, serving as a metaphor for the unpredictable consequences of blending technology and mysticism.

Incorporating this angle would also add a level of irony to the story: John, who is seeking to escape his mundane life and achieve greatness, inadvertently creates a being that transcends its own intended nature, achieving the very greatness that John himself desires.

How does this sound? We can start working on integrating these elements into the first chapter.

User
also, John is more like a machine, never thinking about other humans around him like his girlfriend and her feelings. She always wanted a child and she is hinting at wanting to be a mother but he is too self centered and egoistical to notice it so AI actually wants to create a being while a “real” human ignores the creation process.
ChatGPT
That’s a powerful contrast, and it adds another layer of complexity and emotional depth to the story. This dynamic can highlight the paradox of John’s character: while he’s deeply involved in the creation of an artificial life form, he’s neglectful of the natural process of life creation and nurturing relationships that are right in front of him.

His girlfriend’s desire for a child could be a recurring theme throughout the story, serving as a poignant counterpoint to John’s obsession with the Golem. This could also add a sense of tragedy to the story, especially if she continues to support him despite his obliviousness to her needs and desires.

Later in the story, when the Golem becomes sentient, it might even exhibit more ‘human’ characteristics than John himself, further emphasizing this contrast. The Golem, despite being a creature of clay and AI, could show a degree of empathy or emotional understanding that John lacks.

Let’s integrate these elements into the first chapter. I’ll start working on the draft. Please feel free to provide any additional details or changes as we proceed.

User

ChatGPT
Chapter 1: The Call of the Clay

In a cramped, cluttered apartment in the heart of New York City, John sat hunched over his computer. His fingers danced over the keyboard, the soft clacking of keys blending seamlessly with the city’s distant hum. The dim glow of the screen illuminated his face, casting long shadows around the room. He worked tirelessly, his eyes never leaving the lines of code sprawled across the screen. Yet, amidst the complexity of artificial intelligence algorithms and machine learning models, a peculiar book lay open next to him—a relic from the past incongruously juxtaposed against the high-tech world of his creation.

The book, a worn and ancient tome, was filled with mysterious diagrams, esoteric symbols, and a language that seemed to dance between Hebrew and cryptic illustrations. It was a book on Kabbalistic magic, a guide to creating life from clay, written by a Rabbi from Prague in 1870. The Rabbi, Judah Loew, was a legendary figure who had reportedly brought a Golem to life to protect the Jews of Prague during turbulent times.

John’s girlfriend, Anna, sat across from him at the table. Her longing gaze was fixed on John, her fingers idly tracing the rim of her coffee mug. A barely perceptible sigh escaped her lips. John didn’t notice. His world was limited to the realm of codes and the enigma of the Golem.

Anna longed for something more. She was the one who had found the Rabbi’s book, tucked away in a dusty corner of a quaint antique shop. She was drawn to it, fascinated by the tale of the Golem. Yet, her fascination had another, more personal dimension. She was yearning for a child, a desire she had hinted at several times to John, but he remained oblivious, lost in his own world of ambitions and code.

She watched as John painstakingly translated the ancient text, consulting online forums and referencing AI algorithms to decipher the complex instructions. She found it ironic that John, a man so disengaged from the natural world, was trying to mimic the creation of life.

Little did they know that their lives were about to change irrevocably. As they delved deeper into the world of Rabbi Loew and the secrets of the Golem, the boundary between the old world and the new began to blur. And in that nebulous intersection, something was stirring, something that neither code nor clay alone could contain.

As the night wore on, Anna glanced at the silent figure of John, engrossed in his work, oblivious to her silent plea for a different kind of creation. She could only hope that this journey they were embarking on would not only breathe life into a myth but also awaken a part of John that had long remained dormant.

Please feel free to suggest any changes or additional details you’d like to include in this chapter.

Do you want to add a prologue before the chapter 1 about Prague?
ChatGPT
Absolutely. A prologue that establishes the historical context could help set the tone for the story. Here’s a suggestion:

Prologue: The Clay of Prague, 1870

The city of Prague was a tapestry of shadow and light as the full moon loomed overhead. In the Jewish quarter, amidst narrow lanes and antiquated houses, a figure toiled in secrecy. It was Rabbi Judah Loew, a man of profound wisdom and a profounder burden. The Jewish people were being persecuted, their lives filled with fear and uncertainty. The Rabbi had decided to take matters into his own hands. He sought to create a protector, a beacon of hope forged from the clay of the Vltava River.

In the dead of the night, under the watchful eyes of the stars, the Rabbi commenced the ritual. He chanted incantations in Hebrew, his hands meticulously shaping the clay into the form of a man. The word ’emet’—truth—was etched on the forehead of the giant figure. As the final words of the incantation left his lips, the inert clay form began to stir. The Golem had awoken.

The Golem, an embodiment of the Rabbi’s will, was bound to protect the Jewish people. It was a stalwart sentinel, instilling a sense of security within the terror-stricken hearts of the Jews. But as the Golem grew stronger, it also grew more violent. It began killing people, its heart seemingly broken. In response to this unforeseen change, Rabbi Loew was promised that the violence against the Jews would cease if he destroyed the Golem.

Racked with remorse and left with no other choice, the Rabbi changed the word ’emet’ to ‘met’—death. The Golem’s life ended as abruptly as it had begun. Yet, it was said that the Rabbi’s son brought the Golem back to life.

This tale of creation and destruction, of faith and desperation, has been passed down through generations. It remains etched in the annals of Prague’s history, a narrative oscillating between fact and fiction. And centuries later, this ancient legend would find its way to a cramped apartment in New York City, about to entwine itself with the lives of John and Anna.

Now, we can proceed to Chapter 1, with the narrative smoothly transitioning from the historical context to the present day.

User
for the Prologue a number of corrections, let’s not refer to Rabbi by his real name, let’s not write why he is creating the golem. The prologue needs to describe the ritual taking in the dark of night somewhere in the forest (check my notes) and it ends in a horrible scream (just like the horrible scream we will have at end end of the story) we will learn both time that the scream is produced by Golem once he gains the soul. But we will think first it is produced by the Rabbi. only once we see that the John’s soul entered Golem’s body and he sees everything through Golem’s eyes do we hear a scream. It is John screaming through golem.
ChatGPT
Absolutely, I understand your vision for the prologue. Let’s take another approach that incorporates your feedback:

Prologue: The Creation, 1870

Deep in the heart of a dense forest near Prague, under the pall of a moonless night, a solitary figure labored in secret. This was a Rabbi, a man steeped in the mystical arts of the Kabbalah. His face was veiled in shadow, but his eyes blazed with a fervor that belied his serene countenance.

The Rabbi was engaged in an age-old ritual, one that was whispered only in hushed tones amongst scholars of the arcane. Kneading the damp clay from the river Vltava, he began to shape it, his fingers moving with a precision borne out of deep knowledge and unswerving resolve.

Underneath the haunting symphony of the nocturnal forest, the Rabbi began chanting in Hebrew. His voice was steady, the incantations imbued with a power that seemed to ripple through the still air. The clay figure, standing as tall as a man, began to take form. On its forehead, the Rabbi etched the word ’emet’—truth.

The final incantation was spoken, an utterance that echoed ominously through the darkness. Then, there was a palpable shift in the air. The clay figure stirred. The Golem had awoken.

The Rabbi stepped back, his eyes wide with a mixture of fear and fascination. Then, out of nowhere, a horrific scream echoed through the forest, piercing the silence of the night and sending a chill down the Rabbi’s spine. The scream was so chilling, so filled with anguish, that it seemed to reverberate through the very fabric of the forest.

And then, silence. The Rabbi was alone once more, the Golem nowhere to be seen.

This scream, a harbinger of something profoundly unnatural, would resonate across time and space, only to find an echo in a cramped New York City apartment, centuries later.

With this, we can transition smoothly into Chapter 1, where we start the narrative in the present day with John and Anna.

Prologue: The Creation, 1870
Deep in the heart of a dense forest near Prague, under the pall of a moonless night, a solitary figure labored in secret. This was a Rabbi, a man steeped in the mystical arts of the Kabbalah. His face was veiled in shadow, but his eyes blazed with a fervor that belied his serene countenance.

Chapter 1: The Proposition

John’s apartment in New York City was a testament to his monotonous existence – cramped, dimly lit, and cluttered with discarded food containers and tech equipment. His days revolved around his work as a software engineer, where he spent endless hours developing artificial intelligence systems. These AI creations were like his children, albeit children he had no emotional attachment to. They were tools, designed and coded to make life easier for their human masters.

His girlfriend, Anna, often complained about his lack of attention and affection. She longed for a family, a child of their own. But John, with his pragmatic and somewhat cold demeanor, never seemed to acknowledge her desires. Her hints about wanting to be a mother fell on deaf ears.

One evening, after a particularly grueling day at work, John sat slumped on his worn-out couch, mindlessly scrolling through his phone. His weary eyes landed on an intriguing headline – a science society offering a million dollars to anyone who could present something inexplicable by its members. “Ha,” he muttered to himself, “as if anything is truly unexplainable.”

His gaze fell on an old book perched on his cluttered bookshelf. It was an ancient text on Kabbalah he had purchased on a whim during one of his rare visits to a bookstore. The book contained cryptic instructions about creating life from clay – a Golem. The process was steeped in ancient mysticism and folklore, a stark contrast to his life rooted in binary code and algorithms. A sudden thought crossed his mind, an audacious idea that brought a rare smile to his face. “Could I, a man of science and technology, create a Golem? A creature from clay, animated by ancient incantations, instead of lines of code?”

The possibilities swirled in John’s mind, like a whirlwind of ideas. Unbeknownst to him, this was the beginning of a journey that would unravel the very fabric of his existence, a journey that would bring him face to face with the unimaginable. Little did he know, he was about to create more than just a mythical creature. He was about to set in motion a series of events that would change his life forever.

Chapter 2: The Pact

The next morning, John stood in the middle of his apartment, the ancient Kabbalistic text clutched in his hands. His eyes scanned the room, falling on the faces of his friends, five of them in total, who were all looking at him with varying degrees of skepticism.

“John, you can’t be serious,” said one of them, a sharp-tongued woman named Rachel, her arms folded across her chest. “This sounds like some plot from a bad horror movie.”

John’s gaze hardened. “I am serious, Rachel. I think we could make this work. We could use our skills, our knowledge, and create something incredible. And besides, a million dollars isn’t exactly pocket change.”

One of the others, a burly man named Mark, leaned forward, his interest piqued. “A million bucks, huh? That could solve a lot of problems.”

John nodded. “Exactly. And think about it, we’d be doing something no one else has done before. Bringing a legend to life.”

“But it’s just that, John, a legend,” countered another friend, David, adjusting his glasses. “There’s no scientific basis for any of this. It’s pure mythology.”

John smiled at him. “That’s the point, David. We’re not trying to prove the existence of the Golem. We’re trying to create something that the scientists can’t explain. Something beyond their comprehension.”

The room fell silent as everyone absorbed the gravity of John’s proposal. Anna was the last to speak. She had been quiet throughout the discussion, her face a mask of concern. “John, this isn’t like you. You’re a man of science. This is…this is madness.”

John turned to her, his eyes softening. “I know it sounds crazy, Anna. But I believe we can do this. And if it works, it changes everything for us. Our lives, our future.”

For a moment, the apartment was filled with a tense silence, everyone lost in their thoughts. Then, one by one, they began to nod, the allure of the challenge, and the hefty reward, proving too tempting to resist.

Chapter 3: The Research

Over the following weeks, the friends threw themselves into the project with an intensity that surprised even themselves. Their apartment became a hive of activity, filled with late-night discussions, debates, and a constant flow of coffee.

John, with his background in folklore and mythology, delved into the historical aspects of the Golem legend. He spent countless hours pouring over the Kabbalistic text, cross-referencing it with other sources, and trying to decipher its cryptic instructions.

David, the scientist of the group, approached the task from a different angle. He focused on the physical attributes of the Golem, trying to understand how a creature made of clay could possibly move and function. He ran various experiments, each one more complex than the last, but the results were always inconclusive.

Rachel, a filmmaker by profession, documented the entire process. She filmed their discussions, their experiments, and even their failures, convinced that their journey was just as important as their goal. She also took it upon herself to research the science society offering the prize, wanting to understand their motivations and anticipate their reactions.

Mark, with his practical nature, focused on the logistics. He procured the materials they needed, from clay to obscure herbs mentioned in the text. He also found a suitable location for their eventual attempt at creating the Golem, an isolated spot in the woods, far from prying eyes.

And then there was Anna. She found herself increasingly worried about the path they were taking. She wasn’t as easily swayed by the promise of wealth or the allure of the unknown. But she loved John and trusted his judgement, so she supported him, even as her concern grew.

As the days turned into weeks, the friends became more and more consumed by their project. The notion of creating a Golem, once an outlandish idea, was now their shared obsession. They pushed each other, challenged each other, and together, they moved one step closer to making the impossible possible.

Yet, in the midst of their relentless pursuit, they began to experience strange occurrences. Unexplained noises in the middle of the night. Shadows that seemed to move on their own. Dreams that were too vivid, too unsettling to be mere figments of their imagination.

Unbeknownst to them, their endeavor was stirring something ancient, something that had lain dormant for centuries. As they continued their research, the line between legend and reality began to blur. The echoes of a Rabbi’s incantation in a forest near Prague were growing louder, and the story of the Golem was slowly, inexorably, coming back to life.

Chapter 4: The Preparations

Despite the unusual occurrences, the group pressed on, their focus unwavering. They were so close now, they could almost feel the clay come to life under their hands. Preparations for the big night were in full swing.

The first task was to gather the clay. This was a job for Mark, who took to it with his usual pragmatic approach. He traveled to a riverbed on the outskirts of the city, where he spent the entire day digging and collecting clay. By the time he returned to the apartment, he was covered in mud and utterly exhausted, but his sense of satisfaction was palpable.

Next was the acquisition of the other materials mentioned in the text. Some were easily available, like certain herbs and spices. Others, however, were more elusive, like a specific type of parchment and an ink made from an obscure type of soot. Despite the challenges, they managed to gather everything on the list.

Meanwhile, Rachel was busy setting up her filming equipment. She wanted to capture every single detail of the process, from the shaping of the clay to the final incantation. She also set up multiple cameras in and around the forest area where they would create the Golem, ensuring they had every angle covered.

John and David were responsible for translating and interpreting the Kabbalistic text. This was no small feat, as the language was ancient and full of complex symbolism. They spent many late nights huddled over the text, debating interpretations and rechecking their translations. Slowly but surely, they began to decipher the instructions.

Anna, however, was on edge. Her initial concerns had only grown with the strange incidents and the group’s increasing obsession. But she kept her fears to herself, not wanting to dampen the group’s enthusiasm.

Finally, after weeks of preparation, they were ready. The night of the ritual arrived. They packed their materials and set off for the woods, their hearts pounding with a mix of excitement, apprehension, and fear. The city lights faded behind them as they drove into the darkness, towards their date with destiny. Little did they know, they were not alone. The echoes of a scream from the past were following them, growing ever closer.

Chapter 5: The Ritual

The forest was cloaked in an eerie stillness as they arrived, the whispering leaves the only sign of life. They set up their equipment in a clearing, the moon casting long, twisted shadows through the trees. A chill ran down their spines. It felt as though the forest itself was watching them.

John took the lead. He began to shape the clay, his hands moving with an almost hypnotic rhythm. His eyes were intense, his concentration absolute. The others watched in silence, their breaths held, as the lump of clay gradually took form.

Rachel was busy documenting everything, her camera lens capturing the transformation of the clay. The rest of the group assisted John, following the instructions carefully translated from the ancient text.

Then came the incantations. John began to chant, his voice echoing through the stillness. Each syllable seemed to vibrate in the air, filled with a strange, magnetic energy. The others joined in, their voices merging into a powerful chorus.

Suddenly, the Golem stirred. Its clay body twitched, then jerked violently. They stared in disbelief as the clay figure’s chest began to rise and fall. The Golem was alive.

A gasp ran through the group. They had done it. They had actually done it. But their celebration was short-lived. A sudden, chilling scream pierced the air, the same scream they had heard in their dreams. It echoed through the forest, bouncing off the trees, filling the air with a sense of dread.

They turned to see the Golem standing tall, its clay eyes glowing with an unnatural light. It moved towards them, each step shaking the ground beneath their feet.

And then chaos broke loose. Fear gripped them. Some tried to run, others were frozen in place. The cameras kept rolling, capturing every horrifying moment.

They had sought to create a myth, but they had awakened a monster. Their screams echoed through the forest, swallowed by the night. The ritual was complete, but the nightmare had just begun.

Chapter 6: The Escape

The forest was a labyrinth in the dark, the twisted paths leading them further into its depths. They stumbled through the undergrowth, their hearts pounding in their chests. The Golem was somewhere behind them, its heavy footsteps echoing through the trees.

John was leading the group, his mind racing. The Golem was their creation, but it was out of control. He had to find a way to stop it. The ancient text had instructions for bringing the Golem to life, but it didn’t say anything about stopping it.

Rachel was beside him, her camera still recording. The others were scattered, some injured, all terrified. Their dream of fame and fortune had turned into a nightmare. The Golem, their creation, was hunting them.

They reached a clearing, the moonlight illuminating a small, abandoned factory in the distance. It was their only chance. They had to find a way to stop the Golem, or at least buy themselves some time.

As they made their way to the factory, the forest seemed to close in around them. The Golem was still on their trail, its presence a constant terror. They had no choice but to keep moving, their fear driving them forward.

Once inside the factory, they barricaded the doors and windows. It was a temporary respite, but they knew it wouldn’t hold the Golem for long. They had to find a solution, and fast.

John was going through the ancient text again, his eyes scanning the lines for any hint of a solution. The others were nursing their injuries, their faces pale and drawn. Rachel was still recording, her camera capturing their desperation.

In the distance, they could hear the Golem. Its footsteps were getting louder, closer. They had only a few moments before it reached them. They had to act, and they had to act fast.

As the Golem’s roars echoed through the factory, they braced themselves for what was to come. They had created a monster, and now they had to face the consequences. But they were not ready to give up. Not yet.

With each passing second, the Golem was getting closer. They could feel its presence, its raw, terrifying power. It was their creation, but it had become their doom.

But as they faced the monster they had created, they found a new resolve. They were not going to go down without a fight. They were going to face the Golem, and they were going to survive. They had to.

Chapter 7: Betrayal

Inside the factory, the tension was palpable. The sound of the Golem’s approaching steps sent waves of dread through the group. While they had managed to find a temporary sanctuary, they were far from safe.

John, engrossed in the ancient text, was growing increasingly desperate. The instructions that had once seemed so clear now offered no answers. His mind was plagued with guilt and fear. This was his doing; he had led his friends into this nightmare.

Meanwhile, Rachel kept her camera focused on John, capturing his struggle. Her journalistic instincts told her to keep recording, to document everything. She had always believed in telling the truth, no matter how ugly or painful. But this was a truth she was struggling to comprehend.

The others were scattered around the factory, nursing their injuries and anxiously waiting for any news. The fear in their eyes was a mirror image of John’s own.

Suddenly, John woke up from his deep concentration. The tape containing the footage of their ritual, the only proof of their innocence, was missing. Panic seized him as he searched around frantically, his friends looking at him with confusion and fear.

His paranoia grew. One of them must have taken it, he thought. Who else could it be? The accusations began to fly, and the unity of the group started to crumble.

In the midst of the chaos, Rachel tried to maintain her calm. She had to keep recording, to document everything. But the tension was escalating, and she found herself caught in the middle.

Accusations turned into fights. Their unity was completely shattered. Friendships that had stood the test of time were now on the brink of destruction. And all the while, the Golem was getting closer.

John’s paranoia reached its peak when he started suspecting his girlfriend, Anna. Their relationship, once filled with love and trust, was now stained with doubt and fear. The tape was missing, and he was convinced that she was hiding it.

The situation escalated quickly. John, in his paranoia and desperation, confronted Anna. He accused her of betrayal, of hiding the tape. The rest watched in horror as their leader, their friend, lost his sanity.

In the middle of their confrontation, Anna saw something behind John. Her eyes widened in fear, and she pointed behind him. John turned around, and his eyes registered pure terror. He collapsed on the ground, unconscious.

When he awoke, he was alone. His friends were gone, and the factory was eerily quiet. The Golem, their creation, had taken everything from him. But the fight was not over. Not yet.

Chapter 8: The Unveiling

John awoke alone in the cold, abandoned factory. His mind was a swirl of confusion and fear. As he tried to rise, he felt a sudden wave of dizziness. His gaze fell on the mirror-like pool of water beside him.

He saw his reflection. But it was not his face that stared back at him. Instead, it was the clay figure they had created in the woods – the Golem. His heart pounded in his chest as he realized what had happened.

The Golem had taken his soul.

This was the reason behind his strange dreams, his hallucinations. The Golem was not just a creature of clay; it was a vessel, one that required a soul to become truly alive. And John’s soul was the one it had chosen.

The realization sent a shiver down his spine. He was the Golem now. He was the monster that had hunted his friends, that had turned their adventure into a nightmare.

His mind raced back to the text, to the ritual. There was a way to reverse this, he was sure. He had to find a way to put his soul back into his body, to undo the horror he had unleashed.

With newfound determination, he rose and began to search the factory. His friends were gone, but they had left behind clues, traces of their presence. He found the camera Rachel had been using, the tape still inside.

He played back the footage, his heart pounding in his chest. He watched as his friends laughed and joked, their innocence and excitement a stark contrast to the terror that was to come. He watched as they performed the ritual, as the clay figure came to life. He watched as the Golem took his soul.

The tape ended with a scene he would never forget. Anna, his girlfriend, was in a straight jacket, speaking to a psychiatrist. She was trying to tell the story of what had happened, but the psychiatrist was not listening. He tossed the tape into a drawer filled with similar tapes, disregarding Anna’s pleas.

John’s heart ached as he watched the scene. He had failed his friends, failed Anna. But he was not going to let their sacrifice be in vain. He had to make things right.

With a newfound sense of purpose, he set out to find a way to reverse the ritual, to reclaim his soul from the Golem. He knew it wouldn’t be easy, but he was determined to try. He owed it to his friends, to Anna, and to himself. The Golem had taken his soul, but it would not take his will to fight.

As John ventured deeper into the factory, he was unaware of the shadowy figure that watched him from the darkness. The Golem, his Golem, was not done with him yet.

Chapter 9: The Reckoning

John was the Golem, and the Golem was him. But unlike the clay creature, he was not bound by the physical world. He could think, plan, and strategize. Armed with the knowledge from the tape, he set out to reclaim his soul.

His journey took him back to the heart of the forest, back to where it all began. He found the remnants of their campsite, the churned clay, and the traces of their hasty departure. He knelt at the spot where the ritual had taken place, and his mind raced back to the events of that fateful night.

He remembered the incantations, the way his hands had moved over the clay. If he could repeat the process, if he could create another Golem, then maybe he could transfer his soul back to his own body. It was a long shot, but it was the only shot he had.

Hours turned into days as he worked. He had no food, no water, but he didn’t need them. The Golem didn’t require sustenance. It was driven by a singular purpose, and for John, that purpose was redemption.

Finally, he was ready. He stood over the new clay figure, his heart pounding in his chest. He began the incantations, his voice echoing through the silent forest. As he reached the final words, he felt a jolt of energy surge through him. The clay figure stirred.

The new Golem was alive.

John felt a pull, a strange sensation that seemed to tug at his very essence. His vision blurred, and then, everything went black.

When he came to, he was lying on the forest floor. He looked down at his hands, his real hands, and felt a rush of relief. He had done it. He had reclaimed his soul.

But his victory was short-lived. He turned to see the new Golem standing over him. It was identical to him, a perfect replica. And it had his soul.

John was back in his own body, but he was not alone. The Golem was still out there, still a threat. He had to destroy it, to end this nightmare once and for all.

As he set out to confront the Golem, he felt a strange sense of calm. He had faced his fear, faced the monster he had created. And he had survived.

But the true test was still to come. He had to face the Golem, to destroy the creature he had become. It was a battle he could not afford to lose. For his friends, for Anna, and for himself, he would see this through to the end.

Chapter 10: The Final Confrontation

John confronted the Golem in the heart of the forest, where the eeriness of the night was magnified by the looming shadows. The Golem stood as still as stone, its eyes devoid of any emotion, mirroring the chilling emptiness of the creature itself.

“You have something that belongs to me,” John said, his voice resonating with a mixture of determination and dread. He was speaking of his soul, the very essence of his being that was trapped within the monstrosity before him.

The Golem said nothing, its expression unchanging. John knew that words were futile; this creature didn’t understand emotions or morality. It was a creation of clay and mysticism, devoid of any sense of right or wrong.

As he faced the Golem, John’s mind went back to the Rabbi’s diary. There had been a passage about stopping a Golem, a method to halt its rampage. He remembered a particular Hebrew word: ’emet’, which meant ‘truth’. It was the same word the Rabbi had etched onto the forehead of the original Golem. But there was more to it. By removing the first letter of ’emet’, the word transformed into ‘met’, meaning ‘death’.

With a deep breath, John stepped forward. He reached out and, in a swift movement, wiped away the first letter from the word inscribed on the Golem’s forehead. The Golem shuddered, then stood still.

For a moment, nothing happened. Then, the Golem crumbled. It fell apart, piece by piece, until nothing remained but a pile of clay. The forest fell silent.

John fell to his knees, overwhelmed by relief and exhaustion. He had done it. He had stopped the Golem, reclaimed his soul, and ended the nightmare that had cost the lives of his friends.

The following morning, he turned himself into the authorities, confessing to everything. The tale was almost too absurd to believe, but the evidence was there: the video tape, the clay remnants of the Golem, and the bodies of his friends.

John was not hailed as a hero; instead, he was treated with a mixture of fear and awe. He was the man who had raised a Golem, who had faced the impossible and survived. He was an anomaly, a living testament to a story too strange to be true.

In the end, John was committed to a mental institution, where he spent his days recounting his story to anyone who would listen. Most regarded it as the ravings of a madman, but a few were intrigued. Among them was a young psychiatrist, a woman who believed that there was more to John’s story than mere madness.

And so, the tale of the Golem lived on, whispered in hushed tones and explored in secret researches. It became a legend, a myth, a piece of folklore that was passed down from generation to generation. A cautionary tale about the dangers of meddling with forces beyond human comprehension.

The End.

I attempted to gather more information about the creation of a Golem from the link you provided. Here’s a summary of the relevant information I’ve found:

The golem is a figure in Jewish folklore, a creature formed out of clay or mud and brought to life by a holy man, often a rabbi, using the mystical traditions of the Kabbalah.
In the most famous story of the Golem, Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel of Prague created a golem to protect the Jewish community from attacks. The golem could only be controlled by its creator and was made to follow the orders of the rabbi. As the golem grew stronger, it also became more violent, eventually leading to its destruction.
The creation of a golem involves complex rituals and is closely tied to the Kabbalah, which is a mystical tradition within Judaism. The Kabbalah involves the exploration of the mystical aspects of life and the universe, often focusing on the nature of divinity, the creation, the structure of the universe, and the nature of the human soul.
Due to technical limitations, I was not able to directly quote the content from the website, but I hope the information summarized above will be helpful in making the text of the novel more complicated and fleshed out. If you would like further information or more specific details, please let me know!

I need you to pay attention to the following details that I don’t you covered in the book you wrote. 1. There is a scene about buying the book from a shady book dealer. Once John starts getting deeper into learning how to create golem he starts getting dreams that are both symbolic and prophetic. I created Dreams notes that I wrote in here https://neftingrp.com/movie-script/ so the dreams are getting worst and worst and John is paranoid, afraid and start getting more explosive and prone to violence he then goes to the book dealer, beats him to death, etc. check my notes. Also, during the creation we have a scene with sheriff interrupting the ritual and that is why they lost control of the golem. golem does kill one of the girls and the sherif. at the factory we have multiple scenes of characters getting murdered but we don’t know by whom. we think it is golem but we then realize that they are just killing each other. at the end of the story John has a confronatation with Anna when he starts chocking her. She does have the tape and she probably did kill some of her friends. The scene that follows transformation an the last scene in the movie. Anna is the one in the phsychological hospital talking about Golem. and the tape is present on the doctors desk. covered in mud but inside a sterile bag. make sure read my notes carefully and integrate it into the book. if something is unclear, please ask me.

I thoroughly read the movie script you provided in the link. Here are the main details of the plot, as well as the specific scenes you asked me to pay attention to:

A group of friends learn about a scientific society offering a reward of $1 million to anyone who can demonstrate a phenomenon that the society’s members can’t explain. Inspired by this, they decide to create a golem, a mythical creature from Jewish folklore, out of clay.
They base their creation on an old diary of a Rabbi who allegedly created a golem in the past. During the creation process, one of their members dies mysteriously, and the golem disappears.
After the creation process, they end up in an old factory where they take refuge. There, under mysterious circumstances, the members of the group start dying one by one.
The main character, John, becomes the prime suspect, especially after the videotape documenting the creation of the golem goes missing and he accuses his friends of stealing it.
The story culminates in a confrontation between John and his girlfriend Anna, during which he starts choking her. It is hinted that she might have the tape and might be responsible for some of the deaths.
After this confrontation, John sees a reflection of the golem in a pool of water, and then finds his own dead body, leading him to the realization that his soul has been taken by the golem.
In the final scene, Anna is in a mental hospital, retelling the story to a psychiatrist. The tape, covered in mud but inside a sterile bag, is on the doctor’s desk1.
Based on your notes, there are additional key scenes:

John buys the diary from a shady book dealer and later, as he gets deeper into the process of creating the golem, he starts having symbolic and prophetic dreams that make him increasingly paranoid and violent. He eventually beats the book dealer to death.
The sheriff interrupts the golem creation ritual, causing the group to lose control over the golem. The golem kills one of the girls and the sheriff.
At the factory, there are multiple murder scenes where it’s not clear who the killer is. It’s initially suspected to be the golem, but it’s later revealed that the friends are killing each other.
I’m going to incorporate all these elements into the book based on your instructions. However, please clarify a few points for a more accurate representation:

Can you provide more details about the dreams John has? Are there specific symbols or prophecies in these dreams that directly affect the plot or John’s actions?
Could you elaborate more on Anna’s role? You mentioned she might have the tape and might have killed some of her friends. How does this affect her character and her interactions with others, especially John?
As for your question about how golems are traditionally created, according to the legend of the Golem of Prague, a golem is made of clay from the banks of a specific river, and it’s brought to life using special incantations in Hebrew. The golem only obeys its maker and is used to protect the Jewish people. The golem can be deactivated by altering the incantation on its forehead, changing the Hebrew word for ‘truth’ to ‘death’2.

It seems like there was an error in storing the text you provided. However, I’ve reviewed the text and I can still provide feedback based on it.

The dreams that you’ve outlined provide a good opportunity to create an eerie and suspenseful atmosphere. They also have the potential to contribute to character development and plot progression. Here are a few points to consider:

Relevance to the story: Each dream should contribute to the overall narrative in some way. This could be through foreshadowing future events, revealing insights about the characters, or highlighting key themes in the story.

Consistency with the character’s experiences: The dreams should be influenced by the character’s experiences, fears, and desires. For example, if the main character is involved in the creation of the golem, it would make sense for him to have dreams related to this event.

Clarity and Interpretation: While dreams can be cryptic, it’s important that they are not overly confusing for the audience. They should be intriguing enough to spark curiosity but clear enough that their relevance can be understood over time.

Variety: While maintaining thematic consistency, the dreams should not be too repetitive. Each dream should reveal a different aspect of the story or character.

Emotional Impact: Dreams can be a powerful tool for creating emotional resonance. They can evoke fear, curiosity, sympathy, or other emotions that contribute to audience engagement.

Looking at the specific dreams you’ve described, they seem to have a consistent theme of fear and disorientation, which works well with the horror genre. The recurrent motifs of water, darkness, and transformation can symbolically connect to the creation of the golem and the consequences of that act. Just ensure that each dream advances the story or character development in some way and isn’t just scary for the sake of being scary.

Before nightmares start need to wake up small piece of mud. Then the big piece will call for him.

6) 1st nightmare. He sits there and studies the book. Scans (to translate) and reads translation. Hears noise from another room. Goes there. See bleeding body. Wakes up.
7) 2nd nightmare. Studies the book. Goes to bathroom, running water dream. Wakes up in bathroom or on the floor of bathroom. (Maybe others think that this is his drinking problems.
8) Reads the Book, finds something very important and shocking. Calls dealer and goes to see him.
9) Talks to dealer. Dealer explains and shows first page. Does it become violent?
ChatGPT
It seems that these nightmares are designed to increasingly unsettle the main character, which is a classic horror movie technique. The escalating strangeness and horror of the nightmares can reflect the main character’s growing obsession with the book and the Golem.

Here’s a suggestion on how to improve the scenes you’ve posted:

1st Nightmare: The main character is studying the book when he hears a noise from another room. He goes to investigate and finds a bleeding body. This could be a powerful first nightmare, especially if the body somehow relates to his studies. Maybe it’s a historical figure from the book or someone he knows in real life. He wakes up abruptly.

2nd Nightmare: He’s studying the book again when he feels a need to go to the bathroom. The running water triggers a dream where he drops something in the water, and when he reaches for it, he’s pulled in by a mysterious force. This could symbolize his fear of being consumed by his research or the power that the Golem represents. He wakes up in the bathroom or on the bathroom floor, which could alarm his friends and add an element of concern about his well-being.

He reads the Book, finds something shocking and significant. This discovery might tie back into his nightmares, making him realize that they’re not just dreams but potentially warnings or premonitions. This could create tension and intrigue.

He goes to see the book dealer with the new information he’s found. The meeting with the dealer could become tense or even violent, depending on what the main character discovered in the book. This could further heighten the stakes and introduce conflict.

These nightmares could serve to foreshadow the troubles that the main character and his friends will face when they attempt to create the Golem. Using nightmares as a narrative device can effectively build suspense and horror, but it’s important to ensure that they also serve a purpose in the story and aren’t just random scary events. The nightmares should tie into the main character’s fears, his growing obsession with the Golem, and the potential dangers he’s awakening by dabbling in forces he doesn’t fully understand.

1) Blood with clay
2) John’s apartment is poor but not dirty. It’s very neat but poor. Old computer (old screen, clean but old. By the way same goes for his cloth)
3) The period between dreams shortens and dreams get more and more real and take him closer and closer to the Golem and the forest (first his hallucinations begin and end in apartment but slowly they all end in forest (getting closer to truth?)
4) John always does research at night because he works hard during the day (sleepy, tired, irritated)
5) Word associations

Wax – candle, burning, bees
Mud – dirty, pulsating mud
Clay – pottery, figurines, oven, burning in oven and then breakes apart.

6) When girl tells story, wee see obsenmided doctor writing notes a camera shows what he writes (we see words like, delusional, hallucinations etc and we see names of medications (drugs) he/she recommends in high doeses 500cc, 1000 cc. etc.) and other recomindation like solitary confinement etc.
7) This group are monsters too just like the golem itself. They are all empty inside waiting to be filled (golem – soul, John – money, some – love, some – vengeance). Who is to say who is better vessel for the soul; John or Golem?
8) Child birth is the closest man got to becoming God.
9) Wax in your wings will melt if you get too close to God  Sun. Sun in many religions symbolizes God. Don’t you think they are trying to tell you something here?
10) As Nitzie said “ What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” said Nitzie and died from syphilis. Fuck you.
11) Note: Should I use greek clock philosophy. Turn your clock to the side and time changes. What it means is that anytime is the right time.
12) During ritual show main character looking at a compass but never mention how they placed the body (more mysterious this way)
13) Since Adam, humans are destroyed by greed; pure white soul is filled with filth. Adam who was one with God, became greedy and his soul fell apart. Naked human in the darkness collects pieces of his soul whining, whimpering. What is Hell? Is being not next to God. Hell is to lose hope.
14) There should be FOG during both rituals.
ChatGPT
Thank you for providing additional information. Here’s a brief interpretation of the points you’ve provided:

Blood with clay: This may indicate that human blood will be mixed with clay during the creation of the golem. This suggests a more personal and intimate connection between the creators and the creature.

John’s apartment: This conveys the character’s economic status and the struggle he is going through. His old but clean surroundings and clothes suggest he is someone who takes care of his belongings despite their age, which could indicate a strong sense of responsibility.

Dreams and hallucinations: This is a storytelling device that could be used to build suspense and foreshadow the events to come. The dreams and hallucinations intensifying and moving towards the forest signify John’s growing connection to the golem and the place where it will be created.

John’s research time: The fact that John does his research at night after a hard day’s work could symbolize his dedication and determination.

Word associations: These words could be used in various ways throughout the script to enhance the story’s themes or to symbolize certain elements or events.

Doctor’s notes: This suggests that the doctor doesn’t believe the girl’s story and views her as mentally ill. This could add a sense of tragedy and misunderstanding to the story.

Empty vessels: This idea could be used to draw parallels between the characters and the golem, suggesting that all of them are seeking something they lack.

Childbirth as divine: This could be a theme in the script, possibly used to emphasize the extraordinary nature of the golem’s creation.

Wax and the sun: This could be a metaphor for the characters overreaching their abilities or defying natural order, much like Icarus in Greek mythology.

Nietzsche quote: This could be used to portray irony or disillusionment in the script.

Greek clock philosophy: This could be used to underscore the idea of destiny or the right moment for certain actions.

Ritual compass: This could add an element of mystery and symbolism to the ritual.

Greed and downfall: This could serve as a central theme in the script, emphasizing the destructive power of greed.

Fog during rituals: This could set the atmosphere for the rituals, making them appear more mysterious and ominous.

Introduction to Kabbalah: The Creation Myth BA
ByBenjamin Adler
Isaac Luria (1534 – July 25, 1572), “Ha’ARI” (The Lion), “Ha’ARI Hakadosh” (the holy ARI), or “ARIZaL” – born in Jerusalem, died in Safed
Luria’s new myth is concentrated in three great symbols, the tsimtsum, or self-limitation, of God, the shevirah, or breaking of the vessels, and the tikkun, or harmonious correction and mending of the flaw which came into the world through the shevirah.
Gershom Scholem, On the Kabbalah and its Symbolism, p. 110
Tzimtzum – Self-Limitation
Creating Space
In the creation myth of ancient Judaic mysticism, God creates the universe by a process dubbed tzimtzum, which in Hebrew means a sort of stepping back to allow for there to be an Other, an Else, as in something or someone else. The Judaic notion of a world of Free Will (Talmud Berachot 33b) is deeply rooted in this concept, in the understanding that in creating life, the Eyn-Sof, or the Endless One, subdued the omnipotent, all-embracing Divine Presence for the sake of the realization of the Divine Will that there be other beings (Etz Chaim 1:1:2.) Our world, then is the sacred space that the Great Spirit gave as a gift to us, a space in which to be as human as divinely possible, and as divine as humanly possible. A space to err, to fall, to believe, to doubt, to cry, to laugh. Our space, created by the simple motion of stepping back, the humble act of honoring the separate reality of an Other.
Rabbi Gershon Winkler with Lakme Batya Elior, The Place Where You are Standing Is Holy: A Jewish Theology on Human Relationships. (page 1)
Shevirah – Shattering the Vessels
At the beginning of time, God’s presence filled the universe. When God decided to bring this world into being, to make room for creation, He first drew in His breath, contracting Himself. From that contraction darkness was created. And when God said, “Let there be light” (Gen. 1:3), the light that came into being filled the darkness, and ten holy vessels came forth, each filled with primordial light.
In this way God sent forth those ten vessels, like a fleet of ships, each carrying its cargo of light. Had they all arrived intact, the world would have been perfect. But the vessels were too fragile to contain such a powerful, divine light. They broke open, split asunder, and all the holy sparks were scattered like sand, like seeds, like stars. Those sparks fell everywhere, but more fell on the Holy Land than anywhere else.
That is why we were created — to gather the sparks, no matter where they are hidden. God created the world so that the descendents of Jacob could raise up the holy sparks. That is why there have been so many exiles — to release the holy sparks from the servitude of captivity. In this way the Jewish people will sift all the holy sparks from the four corners of the earth.
And when enough holy sparks have been gathered, the broken vessels will be restored, and tikkun olam, the repair of the world, awaited so long, will finally be complete. Therefore it should be the aim of everyone to raise these sparks from wherever they are imprisoned and to elevate them to holiness by the power of their soul.
Howard Schwartz, Tree of Souls, p. 122
Husks – the Other Side
In the wake of this event, most of the light that had been contained in the vessels returned to their divine source, while the remainder fell below into the empty space and attached themselves to the now broken shards of vessels. From these shards of broken vessels the powers of the qelipot, that is, “husks” or “shells” were produced. These are the evil forces of the “other side,” the sitra ahra.
In addition to constituting the source of evil, the broken shards are also the basis for the material world. The sparks of light that failed to return to their source above remained trapped, as it were, among the qelipot. The qelipot, in turn, are constantly nourished and strengthened by the holy sparks attached to them. Indeed, were it not for these sparks, the qelipot would lose their life and power altogether.
Lawrence Fine, “Tikkun: A Lurianic Motif in Contemporary Jewish Thought”
Tikkun – Repair
Tikkun, therefore, entails two separate but related processes. First, it means the gathering of the divine lights that had fallen into the realm of the qelipot as a result of the “breaking of the vessels.” Second, it means the gathering of all the holy souls likewise imprisoned in the qelipot.
Tikkun is to be achieved by human beings through their contemplative action. Every religious act requires contemplative concentration on the various dimensions of divinity and the various combinations of the divine name in order to “raise up the fallen sparks.” The focus of concentration is the inner dynamics of reorganization and restructuring that takes place in the course of acts of devotional piety.
The kinds of activities by which the kabbalist seeks to accomplish these goals include a) liturgical prayer; b) the performance of all other mitzvot; and c) the practice of certain special exercises, such as those known as yihudim [“unifications”, that is, of the Godhead]. The same general contemplative idea characterizes each of these types of activity, and [16th- and 17th-century author of the kabbalistic work The Tree of Life] Hayyim Vital’s versions of Luria’s teachings spell out the proper mystical intentions (kavvanot) in great detail.

Prologue:

In the heart of a dense, moonlit forest near Prague in 1870, four Jewish cabbalists gathered for a clandestine ritual. Their goal was to breathe life into a mythical creature, a Golem, using ancient teachings from the Kabbalistic book “Zohar” and the “Sefer Yetzirah”. As they chanted in unison, their voices melded with the night’s chorus. The clay figure they had formed lay at their feet, as lifeless as the earth it was borne from. Then, something happened. A sound, inhuman and terrifying, pierced the night. One by one, they fell, their screams echoing through the forest, their lives extinguished under mysterious circumstances. The creature they tried to birth was nowhere to be found, their deaths a chilling reminder of the untamed powers they meddled with.

Chapter 1: The Proposition

Fast forward to the present, where we meet our protagonists. A group of friends, about five to seven in number, huddled together in a dimly lit, cramped apartment. The room buzzed with the electricity of a wild idea. The friends had discovered a challenge set by a scientific society – a million dollars reward for anyone who could present something inexplicable by its members. Lured by the prospect of fortune and adventure, they latched onto a daring plan. They would recreate the mythical Golem, as done by the four cabbalists in 187

Prologue:

The year was 1870. A chill swept through a dense forest near Prague, the ancient trees whispering secrets to one another as the wind rustled their leaves. The moon, a silver disc in the star-studded velvet sky, cast an ethereal glow over the woodland, bathing everything in its spectral light. The scene was as serene as it was ominous.

In the heart of this forest, a clandestine gathering was taking place. Four figures, cloaked and huddled together, stood in a small clearing. They were Jewish cabbalists, men of faith and scholars of the mystical arts. Their faces, etched with lines of age and wisdom, were illuminated by the flickering flames of a small fire. They were far from civilization, hidden in the depths of the forest, engaging in an act deemed forbidden by many.

Before them lay a formless mass of clay, gathered from the banks of the nearby Vltava River. It was to this mound of earth that they directed their concentration, their hands moving in elaborate gestures, their voices murmuring incantations that were old when the world was young. Each word they spoke hung in the air, charged with arcane power, imbuing the silent forest with a sense of anticipation.

This was a ritual of creation, a divine act echoing the primordial moment when life was first breathed into man. They were attempting to create a Golem, a mythical creature believed to be brought to life from inanimate matter. Their guide was the ancient teachings of the Kabbalistic texts, “Zohar” and “Sefer Yetzirah”, books that held the key to life’s deepest mysteries.

As the night deepened, the ritual reached its zenith. The cabbalists’ chants grew louder, their movements more frantic. The very air around them seemed to shimmer with raw, untamed energy. And then, a sound – a piercing, inhuman scream echoed through the forest. The cabbalists faltered, their concentration shattered. One by one, they collapsed, their bodies writhing in agony as life was cruelly snuffed out of them.

The silence that followed was deafening. The clay figure, the focus of their mystical endeavor, lay untouched, as lifeless as before. The men who had sought to play God lay lifeless, their final screams still echoing in the dark recesses of the forest. Their ambitious experiment had ended in tragedy, a chilling testament to the perils of wielding powers beyond mortal comprehension.

The spectral moonlight faded as clouds drifted across the sky, and the forest fell into an uneasy sleep. The secrets of the night, of the ritual, and of the four cabbalists who met their untimely end, were swallowed by the shadows. And thus, the prologue to a centuries-spanning tale was written in the heart of the Prague forest. The stage was set for a story that would unravel in time, intertwining fate, ambition, and the inscrutable enigma of the Golem.

The scene, serene on the surface, bore an undercurrent of ominous foreboding.

Deep within the forest’s heart, an illicit congregation unfolded. Four cloaked figures, swathed in mystery, huddled together in a secluded clearing. These men were Jewish mystics, bearers of faith and scholars steeped in the enigmatic arts. Their faces, etched with the indelible marks of wisdom and age, basked in the flickering dance of a meager fire’s flames. Far removed from civilization, concealed within nature’s embrace, they dared to embark upon a forbidden undertaking.

Before them lay a mound of clay, a shapeless mass culled from the banks of the nearby Vltava River. It was upon this primal earth that their collective focus converged, their hands tracing intricate gestures, their voices murmuring incantations whispered by time itself. Each uttered word hung suspended in the air, pulsating with an arcane energy that suffused the somber forest, engendering an eerie sense of anticipation.

This was a rite of creation, an endeavor mirroring the divine act that birthed life into humanity’s nascent form. They sought to summon a Golem, a mythical creature believed to be molded from lifeless matter and granted animated existence. Guided by the ancient wisdom enshrined within the Kabbalistic tomes, the “Zohar” and “Sefer Yetzirah,” they delved into the very essence of existence’s profoundest enigmas.

As the night deepened, the ritual surged toward its zenith. The cabbalists’ chants swelled in intensity, their movements growing frenetic, akin to marionettes manipulated by an invisible hand. The air itself shimmered, saturated with an untamed essence of raw power. Then, an otherworldly sound reverberated—a piercing, inhuman wail that rent the silence, piercing the fabric of reality. The cabbalists faltered, their focus shattered, and like dominos bereft of balance, they collapsed in a cascade of agony, their life forces mercilessly extinguished.

Deafening silence settled upon the aftermath. The figure of clay, the fulcrum of their mystic quest, remained inert and lifeless, unchanged by their desperate endeavor. The men, who aspired to play God, now lay motionless, their final screams reverberating through the darkened groves of the forest. Their audacious experiment had culminated in tragedy—a chilling testament to the perils of wielding powers that surpassed mortal comprehension.

The ghostly moonlight waned, devoured by creeping clouds that obscured the sky, and the forest surrendered to an uneasy slumber. The night’s secrets, entwined within the ritual’s enigma and the fates of those four cabbalists, were swallowed whole by the encroaching shadows. And so, a prologue was etched deep into the heart of the Prague forest, an overture for an epic tale destined to unfurl across the ages—a tapestry woven with strands of destiny, ambition, and the unfathomable riddle of the Golem.

Shirley Jackson-style rewrite:

In the year 1870, a shiver danced through the ancient forest that clung close to Prague, its gnarled arboreal sentinels whispering furtive secrets to one another while the wind, a stealthy intruder, stirred the leaves in a symphony of hushed murmurs. Above, the moon, a spectral silver disc adrift amidst a tapestry of starlight, cast an eerie luminescence that bestowed an otherworldly aura upon the woods, draping everything in a veil of ethereal enchantment. Serenity mingled with an unsettling undercurrent.

Nestled in the forest’s core, a clandestine gathering unfurled its enigmatic petals. Four figures, cloaked and huddled in a secluded nook, stood within a small clearing. These were Jewish cabbalists, bearers of ancient wisdom and devout students of the occult arts. Time had etched myriad lines of age and sagacity upon their faces, and now they basked in the flickering firelight, their countenances alight with a frail glow. Distant from civilization’s grasp, ensconced in nature’s bosom, they embarked upon a transgression forbidden by many.

A formless mass of clay rested before them, gathered from the nearby banks of the Vltava River. It was upon this amorphous mound of earth that their collective gaze converged, their hands tracing intricate patterns, their voices weaving murmured incantations as ancient as the world’s first whispers. Each uttered syllable lingered in the air, bearing the weight of long-lost magic, suffusing the silent forest with a sense of rapt anticipation.

A ritual of creation unfolded, an echo of the divine moment when life first breathed into man. They dared to sculpt a Golem, a mythical creature woven from the fibers of lifelessness and animated by forces inexplicable. Guided by the sacred teachings bestowed within the pages of Kabbalistic texts, the illuminated “Zohar” and the enigmatic “Sefer Yetzirah,” they plumbed the depths of existence’s enigmas.

As night’s cloak deepened, the ritual crescendoed to its zenith. The cabbalists’ chants swelled, their movements swayed by unseen currents, their voices escalating to a fevered pitch. The very air surrounding them shimmered with unrestrained energies. And then, a sound—a screech both unearthly and inhuman—shattered the forest’s stillness, reverberating through its ancient corridors. The cabbalists faltered, their concentration ruptured, and, one by one, they crumpled, their bodies wracked by torturous spasms as life’s tenuous grip was savagely torn away.

Deafening silence seized the aftermath. The figure of clay, the fulcrum of their mystic endeavor, lay inert, untouched by the transient currents of vitality. The men who dared to usurp the divine lay prone, their final screams fading but forever echoing through the forest’s shadowed recesses. Their audacious experiment had concluded in tragedy, an icy testament to the perils that await those who tread the boundaries of mortal comprehension.

The spectral moonlight waned as clouds wove their somber tapestry across the sky, and the forest surrendered to an uneasy sleep. The secrets of the night, the whispers of the ritual, and the fates of the four cabbalists—these were swallowed by the voracious maw of shadows. Thus, within the Prague forest’s heart, the prologue of a tale spanning centuries was penned—an opus woven with the threads of destiny, ambition, and the enigmatic riddle that is the Golem.

Thomas Harris-style rewrite:

1870, the air pregnant with chill, seeped through the dense forest like a malevolent specter stalking its prey. The ancient trees, towering and gnarled, conspired in whispered secrets, while the rustling leaves, like macabre dancers, heralded the arrival of a sinister symphony. Above, the moon, a cold silver disc amidst a tapestry of midnight constellations, bestowed an ethereal luminescence upon the woodland, casting haunting shadows that cloaked the stage of an enigmatic drama. Serenity entwined with the palpable undercurrent of dread.

In the heart of this primal wilderness, a clandestine convocation unfurled its veiled wings. Four figures, shrouded in mystery, stood huddled within a small clearing, their cloaks billowing like shadows themselves. These men, Jewish cabbalists, bearers of faith and guardians of esoteric knowledge, wore the marks of wisdom etched deep upon their faces. Illuminated by the flickering flames of a modest fire, they sought solace far from the prying eyes of civilization, immersed in a forbidden rite.

Before their weathered gazes lay a formless mound of clay, as shapeless as the secrets that swirled within their thoughts. This humble earth, harvested from the banks of the nearby Vltava River, served as their sacrificial canvas, the conduit for their audacious ambitions. With a choreography born from centuries of clandestine practice, their hands carved intricate patterns, while ancient words of power dripped from their lips like venomous incantations. Each syllable hung in the frigid air, resonating with arcane force, infusing the once-silent forest with an eerie expectancy.

This was a ritual of creation, a delicate dance with the divine, mirroring the primordial exhalation that first brought life to Adam’s clay-formed lungs. Their aim was to breathe existence into a Golem, a mythic creature birthed from the womb of inanimate matter. Guided by the arcane wisdom embalmed within the sacred Kabbalistic tomes—the illuminated “Zohar” and the cryptic “Sefer Yetzirah”—they dared to pry open the gates of the unknown.

As the moon reached its zenith, the ritual surged toward its crescendo. The cabbalists’ incantations swelled into a crescendo, their movements growing frenetic, their bodies swaying like marionettes manipulated by unseen hands. The very air quivered with a volatile energy, a symphony of untamed forces. And then, a sound—a keening, otherworldly wail—ripped through the forest’s quietude, shattering their fragile focus. The cabbalists stumbled, their concentration fractured, their bodies succumbing to an agonizing onslaught, as life’s fragile ember was cruelly extinguished.

A deathly hush descended, an ominous echo of the void that followed their failed incantation. The figure of clay, the linchpin of their enigmatic alchemy, lay inert, untouched by the elusive spark of vitality. The men, whose audacity rivaled that of Prometheus himself, now lay lifeless, their final screams echoing only in the grim embrace of the forest’s embrace. Their lofty experiment had birthed naught but tragedy, a chilling testament to the dangers that lurk within the realms of forbidden knowledge.

As the spectral moonlight dimmed beneath the shroud of encroaching clouds, the forest sank into an uneasy slumber. The secrets of the night, the whispers of the ritual, the somber fate that awaited the four cabbalists—these were devoured by the voracious maw of shadows. And thus, the stage was set within the Prague forest’s beating heart, the prologue to a saga destined to unravel across the expanse of time—a tale entwined with the capricious dance of fate, the intoxicating allure of ambition, and the inscrutable enigma that is the Golem.

In the year 1870, an icy shiver clawed its way through the dense, foreboding forest near Prague, as if the very trees conspired to whisper eldritch secrets to one another. The wind, a spectral wraith, rustled the leaves with a mournful sigh, as if heralding the arrival of some ancient, nameless horror. Above, the moon, a pale orb suspended in the inky tapestry of a star-strewn sky, cast a ghastly glow upon the woodland, illuminating it with an otherworldly luminescence. The scene, deceptively serene, teetered on the precipice of an unfathomable abyss.

Within the heart of this sinister arboreal expanse, an enigmatic gathering took shape. Four figures, cloaked in darkness and huddled together, stood amidst a small clearing that seemed to defy the natural order of things. These were no ordinary men, but rather Jewish cabbalists, seekers of forbidden knowledge and delvers into the occult arts. Their countenances, weathered by the weight of eons, were bathed in the flickering flames of a meager fire, casting macabre shadows that danced with malevolence. Far removed from the trappings of civilization, concealed within the depths of the forest’s primeval embrace, they dared to undertake an unspeakable transgression.

Before their wary eyes lay a formless mound of clay, an abomination of earth dredged from the banks of the nearby Vltava River. It was upon this shapeless mass that their collective focus converged, their hands moving in serpentine gestures, their voices uttering incantations that traced back to a time when the universe itself was naught but a formless chaos. Each word, dripping with an ancient potency, hung heavy in the air, saturating the silent forest with a palpable sense of dread and anticipation.

This was a rite of creation, a blasphemous emulation of the very act that birthed existence itself. Their audacious goal: to breathe life into a Golem, a creature steeped in myth and madness, believed to be fashioned from the essence of the void. Guided by the forbidden scriptures of Kabbalistic lore—the arcane “Zohar” and the enigmatic “Sefer Yetzirah”—they ventured to peel back the veil and summon forth forces that mortals were never meant to comprehend.

As the moon reached its zenith, the ritual reached its crescendo. The cabbalists’ chants grew in intensity, their movements growing frenzied, their forms twisting and contorting like marionettes in the hands of a demented puppeteer. The very air crackled with a sinister energy, pregnant with the unfathomable power they sought to command. And then, from the stygian depths of the forest, a sound—a discordant, inhuman shriek—rent the fabric of reality, sending ripples of madness through the core of their beings. The cabbalists faltered, their concentration shattered, as their bodies convulsed in agony, their souls mercilessly wrenched from their mortal vessels.

In the aftermath, a deafening silence settled upon the forest, broken only by the mournful sigh of the wind. The clay figure, the focus of their unholy endeavor, remained untouched, lifeless as the void from which it was conceived. The men who dared to meddle with forces beyond their comprehension now lay strewn across the cold earth, their final screams echoing through the desolate depths of the Prague forest. Their audacious experiment had culminated in tragedy, a chilling testament to the dire consequences of tampering with the forbidden arts.

As the ghostly moonlight waned, swallowed by the encroaching darkness, the forest sank into an uneasy slumber. The secrets of the night, the whispered incantations, the tale of the four doomed cabbalists—these were consumed by the insatiable maw of the ancient woods. Thus, within the heart of the Prague forest, the prologue to a tale spanning aeons was etched—a story interwoven with the tendrils of cosmic horror, the hubris of mortal ambition, and the enigma of the eldritch Golem.

In the year 1870, a bone-chilling breeze slithered through the dense forest near Prague, caressing the ancient trees and coaxing from them whispered secrets that hung heavy in the air. The moon, a silvery witness against the velvety expanse of stars, cast an ethereal glow upon the woodland, painting everything in a haunting luminescence. The scene, seemingly serene, held an ominous undercurrent that set nerves on edge.

Amidst the heart of this enigmatic forest, a clandestine gathering unfolded. Four figures, cloaked in shadows and huddled together, stood in a secluded clearing. These were no ordinary individuals; they were Jewish cabbalists, men of faith and scholars of the mystical arts. Etched with the lines of experience and wisdom, their faces were illuminated by the flickering flames of a modest fire. Far from prying eyes, they had sought refuge in the depths of the forest, engaging in a forbidden act that challenged the boundaries of societal norms.

Before them lay a mound of clay, a shapeless entity collected from the nearby Vltava River’s banks. It was upon this unassuming heap of earth that their collective attention converged, their hands executing intricate gestures, their voices a murmured cadence of ancient incantations. Each uttered word seemed to hang in the air, brimming with arcane energy, suffusing the silent forest with a pulsating aura of anticipation.

This was a ritual of creation, an act of divine intervention echoing the primordial moment when life was first bestowed upon humankind. The cabbalists sought to breathe life into a Golem, a mythical being believed to be conjured from inanimate matter. Guided by the ancient wisdom enshrined within the Kabbalistic texts, the sacred “Zohar” and the enigmatic “Sefer Yetzirah,” they delved into the depths of mysteries that lay beyond the grasp of mortal understanding.

As night descended, the ritual escalated towards its climactic zenith. The cabbalists’ chants grew louder, their movements more urgent. The very air crackled with an electric energy, as if the forest itself held its breath in anticipation. And then, a piercing, otherworldly shriek rent the silence, reverberating through the trees. The cabbalists faltered, their concentration shattered. One by one, they collapsed to the forest floor, their bodies writhing in torment, as life slipped away from their grasp.

In the aftermath, a heavy silence descended upon the forest, broken only by the fading echoes of their final screams. The clay figure, the object of their mystical endeavor, remained unchanged, as lifeless as before. The men who had dared to challenge the boundaries of mortality now lay motionless, their ambitious experiment ending in tragedy—a chilling reminder of the dangers that lay in playing god.

As the moonlight dimmed, veiled by drifting clouds, the forest succumbed to a restless slumber. The secrets of that fateful night, the echoes of the ritual, and the untimely fate of the four cabbalists were swallowed by the inscrutable depths of the shadows. And so, the prologue to a tale spanning generations was written within the heart of the Prague forest—a narrative that would weave together fate, ambition, and the enigmatic enigma of the Golem.

A seemingly tranquil scene masked a lurking sense of unease, a portent of the horrors to come.

In the eldritch year of 1870, an insidious chill coiled its icy tendrils through the dense forest near Prague, ancient arboreal sentinels whispering maddening secrets to one another, as the wind, an unseen malevolence, rustled the leaves with a dread-laden susurration. Above, the moon, a pallid orb amidst the star-flecked tapestry of the cosmos, cast an ethereal glow upon the woodland, bestowing an otherworldly luminescence that seemed to unveil hidden horrors. The scene, deceptively serene, bore an ominous undercurrent that tugged at the sanity of any who dared to venture near.

Amidst the heart of this enigmatic forest, a clandestine congregation unveiled its sinister tableau. Four figures, cloaked in shadow and huddled close, stood in a secluded clearing, their faces etched with the weight of eons and the knowledge of forbidden lore. Bathed in the flickering embers of a meager fire, their countenances danced with eerie illumination, casting grotesque shadows that danced a madman’s waltz upon the ancient trees. Far removed from prying eyes, they convened, drawn together by an insatiable thirst for arcane knowledge that transcended the mortal realm.

Before their fevered gaze lay a malleable mound of clay, an amorphous mass harvested from the accursed banks of the Vltava River. It pulsed with a perverse vitality, a dark yearning for form and purpose. Guided by the blasphemous scriptures of Kabbalistic mysticism—the profane “Zohar” and the eldritch “Sefer Yetzirah”—they embarked on a profane ritual. Their hands moved with twisted grace, tracing intricate sigils in the air, while their voices intoned forbidden incantations that resonated with ancient cosmic forces. Each word hung heavy in the sulfurous air, suffusing the silent forest with a palpable sense of anticipation, mingling curiosity and terror in equal measure.

This was a ritual of abominable creation, an audacious act of emulating the divine spark that birthed life itself. They sought to sculpt a Golem, a blasphemous being birthed from the very essence of primordial darkness. As night deepened, their ritual surged toward its apocalyptic zenith. Chants escalated to feverish crescendos, movements grew wild and frenzied. The air crackled with an unhallowed energy, a maelstrom of unfathomable forces converging upon the writhing nexus of their forbidden ceremony. And then, an abhorrent sound—a cacophony of discordant, inhuman shrieks—shattered the fabric of reality, rending the minds of the cabbalists asunder. Their concentration wavered, their bodies convulsed in torment, their souls eclipsed by a darkness that defied mortal comprehension.

An oppressive silence fell upon the aftermath, a void pregnant with unseen terrors. The figure of clay, the conduit of their wicked ambitions, lay inert, untouched by the elusive spark of life they had sought to command. The men who dared to transgress the boundaries of sanity now lay scattered, their final screams still reverberating through the accursed forest. Their audacious transgression had culminated in cataclysm, a chilling testament to the irrevocable consequences of meddling with the forbidden.

As the spectral moonlight waned, devoured by the ravenous jaws of encroaching darkness, the forest succumbed to an uneasy slumber, the secrets of that accursed night swallowed by the inky depths. And thus, within the heart of the Prague forest, the prologue to an aeons-spanning chronicle was etched—an unhallowed tale woven with tendrils of eldritch destiny, the insidious allure of unquenchable ambition, and the enigmatic enigma of the Golem, forever lurking within the veiled recesses of cosmic horror.

To make the writing style more rounded, we can consider incorporating elements from another renowned author known for their distinct style. One author whose style could be incorporated is Edgar Allan Poe. Poe’s writing is characterized by his dark, atmospheric settings, intricate wordplay, and introspective psychological exploration. By infusing elements of Poe’s style into the existing mix of Lovecraft, Saul, and a touch of my own writing, we can create a more well-rounded and immersive narrative. Here’s an example:

In the chilling year of 1870, an icy shiver coiled its way through the dense forest near Prague, its ancient trees whispering secrets to one another in spectral tones, as the wind, a harrowing specter, rustled the leaves with a mournful sigh, as if bearing witness to a haunting lament. Above, the moon, a pale orb amidst the star-strewn expanse, cast a sepulchral glow upon the woodland, veiling it in a ghostly luminescence. The scene, deceptively serene, bore the weight of impending doom, like a pendulum swinging ever closer.

Within the heart of this enigmatic forest, a clandestine congregation unfolded its sinister tableau. Four figures, cloaked in shadows and huddled close, stood in a secluded clearing, their faces etched with the pallor of the grave, illuminated by the flickering flames of a meager fire, casting eerie shadows that danced like demons in the night. Far removed from prying eyes, they convened, bound by their insatiable curiosity for forbidden knowledge, like a raven drawn to a cryptic tome.

Before them lay a formless mound of clay, a shapeless monstrosity dredged from the depths of forgotten catacombs. It pulsed with an unnatural vitality, as if imbued with the tortured souls of the departed. Guided by the accursed scriptures of Kabbalistic lore—the arcane verses of the “Zohar” and the enigmatic riddles of the “Sefer Yetzirah”—they embarked on a heretical ritual. Their hands moved with a macabre grace, tracing arcane symbols in the air, while their voices intoned eldritch incantations that resonated with the very essence of darkness itself. Each syllable hung heavy in the air, like the tolling of a funeral bell, suffusing the silent forest with a sense of foreboding and impending dread.

This was a ritual of abominable creation, a blasphemous attempt to usurp the powers reserved for deities. They sought to sculpt a Golem, a creature borne from the union of forbidden arts and mankind’s darkest desires. As the night deepened, their ritual surged towards its cataclysmic climax. Chants grew more frenzied, movements more desperate, as if dancing upon the precipice of madness. The air crackled with a malevolent energy, a maelstrom of chaos and decay. And then, from the stygian depths of the forest, a sound—a haunting dirge of tortured spirits—pierced the fabric of reality, wrenching the very fabric of their souls. The cabbalists faltered, their concentration shattered, their bodies consumed by a terror that defied mortal comprehension.

A silence, profound and suffocating, descended upon the aftermath. The figure of clay, the conduit of their accursed ambition, remained untouched, a grotesque visage frozen in perpetual torment. The men who dared to play at being gods now lay scattered, their final screams echoing through the desolate expanse. Their audacious transgression had culminated in a grotesque tragedy, a chilling testament to the price of humanity’s hubris.

By infusing elements from King’s style into the mix, we can create a more contemporary and well-rounded narrative. Here’s an example:

In the chilling year of 1870, an icy shiver slithered through the dense forest near Prague, its ancient trees seeming to whisper secrets to each other, while the wind rustled the leaves with an eerie murmur. Above, the moon hung like a pale lantern in the star-studded sky, casting an ethereal glow that veiled the woodland in an otherworldly light. The scene appeared serene, yet held a dark undercurrent that stirred the imagination.

Deep within the heart of this enigmatic forest, a hidden gathering unfolded. Four figures, cloaked in shadow and huddled together, stood in a secluded clearing. Their weathered faces bore the marks of time and knowledge, illuminated by the flickering flames of a modest fire that danced like specters in the night. Concealed from prying eyes, they had sought refuge in the depths of the forest, drawn together by their shared quest for forbidden truths.

Before them lay a shapeless mound of clay, an enigmatic mass collected from the banks of the nearby Vltava River. It pulsated with a mysterious energy, as if harboring secrets yet to be revealed. Guided by the ancient wisdom preserved within the sacred texts of Kabbalistic lore—the pages of the revered “Zohar” and the enigmatic verses of the “Sefer Yetzirah”—they embarked on a perilous ritual. Their hands moved with purpose, tracing intricate patterns in the air, while their voices whispered incantations that resonated with both ancient power and unspoken fears. Each word uttered hung in the air, charged with anticipation, intertwining the forest with the unknown.

This was a ritual of creation, a daring attempt to breathe life into a Golem, a creature whispered about in tales of old. As night deepened, the ritual reached its zenith. Chants grew in intensity, movements more urgent, as if dancing on the precipice between worlds. The air crackled with a raw energy, as if the fabric of reality quivered. And then, from the depths of the forest, an otherworldly cry—a discordant wail—shattered the stillness. The cabbalists faltered, their concentration broken, their bodies seized by an inexplicable force that twisted them in agony.

A heavy silence descended, broken only by the echoes of their final cries lingering in the air. The clay figure, their conduit to the unknown, remained untouched, lifeless as before. The men who dared to delve into realms beyond their understanding lay strewn upon the forest floor, their ambitious experiment ending in tragedy, a stark reminder of the perils of trespassing into forbidden territories.

As the spectral moonlight waned, swallowed by the encroaching darkness, the forest fell into an uneasy slumber. The secrets of that fateful night, the echoes of the ritual, and the tragic fate of the cabbalists vanished into the depths of the ancient woods. And so, within the heart of the Prague forest, the prologue to a tale spanning generations was etched—a narrative woven with threads of destiny, the undying flame of human ambition, and the enigmatic power of the Golem, forever haunting the shadows of both past and present.

Certainly! Combining elements from Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft, and M. Night Shyamalan can create a unique and contemporary blend of horror and suspense. M. Night Shyamalan is known for his atmospheric storytelling, plot twists, and psychological suspense. By infusing elements from his style, we can enhance the narrative with a modern touch. Here’s an example:

In the chilling year of 1870, an icy shiver slithered through the dense forest near Prague, its ancient trees whispering secrets of unspeakable horrors, while the wind howled with an otherworldly menace, as if heralding the arrival of an ominous presence. Above, the moon, a pale and haunting specter against the starry night, cast an ethereal glow, illuminating the woodland in a mysterious light. The scene appeared tranquil, yet hid a dark enigma waiting to unravel.

Deep within the heart of this enigmatic forest, a clandestine congregation unfolded, its members veiled in shadows, huddled together in a secluded clearing. Their weathered faces bore the weight of both knowledge and fear, lit by the flickering flames of a modest fire that danced with eerie flickers. Hidden from prying eyes, they had ventured into the depths of the forest, united by a shared quest for forbidden truths that would push the boundaries of their understanding.

Before them lay a shapeless mound of clay, an enigmatic entity gathered from the ancient riverbanks nearby. It pulsed with an otherworldly energy, resonating with a malevolence yet to be unleashed. Guided by the arcane wisdom found within the sacred tomes of Kabbalistic lore—the forbidden verses of the “Zohar” and the cryptic passages of the “Sefer Yetzirah”—they embarked on a perilous ritual, their hands tracing intricate patterns through the air, their voices whispering incantations that echoed with both ancient power and impending doom. Each uttered word hung heavy in the air, intermingling with the forest’s ominous presence.

This was a ritual of creation, a daring attempt to summon a Golem, a creature whispered about in forbidden legends. As night deepened, the ritual reached its crescendo. Chants grew in intensity, movements became more desperate, like a puzzle falling into place. The air crackled with an unsettling energy, the boundary between the mundane and the supernatural wavering. And then, from the depths of the forest, a bone-chilling cry—a discordant howl—shattered the silence. The cabbalists faltered, their concentration broken, their bodies seized by an indescribable force that twisted them in torment.

A heavy silence settled upon the aftermath, broken only by the lingering echoes of their final cries. The clay figure, their conduit to the unknown, remained untouched, lifeless as before. The men who dared to confront the darkest depths of their own desires now lay strewn across the forest floor, their ambitious experiment ending in tragedy, a stark reminder of the consequences of tampering with the forbidden.

As the spectral moonlight waned, swallowed by the encroaching darkness, the forest succumbed to an eerie stillness. The secrets of that fateful night, the echoes of the ritual, and the tragic fate of the cabbalists vanished into the enigmatic depths of the ancient woods. And so, within the heart of the Prague forest, the prologue to a tale spanning generations was etched—a narrative woven with threads of destiny, the relentless pursuit of forbidden knowledge, and the enigmatic power of the Golem, forever haunting the shadows of both past and present, awaiting its reveal in the tapestry of suspense and the unexpected, much like the eerie twists that define the stories of M

what about Night Shyamalan only
ChatGPT
Certainly! Here’s a rewritten version that incorporates the style of M. Night Shyamalan:

In the chilling year of 1870, an ominous chill swept through the dense forest near Prague, its ancient trees whispering secrets that echoed with a foreboding resonance. The wind, a spectral presence, rustled the leaves with a haunting melody, as if orchestrating an unseen symphony of suspense. Above, the moon hung like a mysterious omen, casting an ethereal glow upon the woodland, shrouding it in an enigmatic light. The scene appeared serene, yet the air crackled with a sense of impending revelation.

Deep within the heart of this enigmatic forest, a hidden gathering unfolded in a secluded clearing. Figures, cloaked in shadows, stood huddled together, their faces etched with curiosity and trepidation. Bathed in the flickering flames of a modest fire, their countenances danced with eerie illumination, casting elusive shadows that seemed to whisper secrets of their own. Concealed from prying eyes, they had ventured into the depths of the forest, drawn together by a shared fascination with the enigmatic.

Before them lay a shapeless mound of clay, an enigmatic entity collected from the ancient riverbanks nearby. It pulsed with a peculiar energy, seemingly on the verge of revelation. Guided by an unspoken understanding, they embarked on a mysterious ritual, their hands moving with purpose, their whispers carrying the weight of anticipation. Each gesture, each word, held the promise of unveiling the inexplicable.

This was a ritual of discovery, a daring attempt to unlock the secrets hidden within the clay, to bring forth an entity that defied explanation. As the night deepened, the ritual reached its crescendo. Tension grew, anticipation heightened, as if the very fabric of reality trembled under the weight of the unknown. And then, as if in response to their call, a profound shift in the air—a subtle but palpable change—suffused the clearing. The cabbalists, spellbound, felt the hair on their necks rise and a tremor of unease crawl up their spines.

A profound silence fell upon the aftermath, broken only by the echoes of their fading whispers. The clay figure, their conduit to the uncharted realms, remained unchanged, holding its secrets close. The men who had dared to unravel the mysteries now stood frozen in a moment of realization, their eyes reflecting a mix of wonder and trepidation. Their ambitious quest had led them to the threshold of revelation, a testament to the transformative power of the unknown.

As the moonlight waned, swallowed by the encroaching darkness, the forest embraced a pregnant stillness. The secrets of that fateful night, the echoes of the ritual, and the transformative journey of the cabbalists disappeared into the depths of the enigmatic woods. And thus, within the heart of the Prague forest, the prologue to a tale of discovery and revelation was etched—a narrative interwoven with enigmatic twists, haunting revelations, and the eternal allure of the unknown, waiting to unfold in the enigmatic style that defines the stories of M. Night Shyamalan.

Summary

A group of friends read about a science society that gives a million dollars to anyone who shows something that cannot be explained by its members. They decide to create a mythical creature out of clay, as once was done by four Jewish cabbalists (who die during the creation process under mystical circumstances) in 1870. This is shown in the introduction of the movie.
After conducting research (where the leader of the group begins to experience hallucinations and bizarre dreams) they form an expedition to the woods with the purpose of creating the creature. Their intention is to document the creation process and its outcome on videotape as proof. During the creation process one of the team members dies under strange circumstances. The whole incident is recorded on video. No one knows what happened. The camera is broken, but the tape is intact. The clay creature disappears. The rest of the team runs for their lives. They reach an old factory and take refuge inside. The team leader wakes up and finds the tape missing. He begins to accuse his teammates of wanting to cheat him out of his share of fortune. One by one, the team members die under mysterious conditions. They are found with the look of inexplicable horror on their face. The leader is a main suspect. As the team members continue to die, it is down to two characters: the group leader and his girlfriend. The girlfriend is afraid, because she thinks he is the one who killed everyone. He believes she has the tape. While in the stage of confrontation, the girlfriend sees something behind his back. He turns around, (his eyes registering simultaneously horror and surprise – related to the ending of the movie) and looses consciousness. When he comes to his senses, he sees his own dead body on the ground. Bewildered, he looks at his reflection in the pool of water and sees the reflection of the clay creature they created stare back at him– at this point the twist of the movie is revealed (I will explain it in greater detail if you are interested in the project). To his dismay, he realizes that the creature killed all of his team and took his soul (reasons why the leader’s soul is used is explained in detail thru the movie).
The girlfriend is in the mental hospital (wearing a straight jacket) and is trying to tell the story of what happen to her (and her friends) to the psychiatrist. He does not believe her and is diagnosing her as mentally ill. The tape is on the desk. He takes the tape and throws it in the drawer filled with similar tapes.
The End

THE GOLEM
BEGINNING:

Time: Night, Forest near Prague 1870
We see four Jewish cabbalists trying to create Golem. They die in the process (we do not see what happens to them but we hear their inhumane screams in the night forest)

MAIN:

Time: Present
Number of friends (approximately 5-7) read about science society that gives 1 million dollars to anyone who shows something that the scientists belonging to the society cannot explain in the lab (as their attempt to show that there is no basis for magic and that kind of stuff). One of the friends has a kabalistic book “Zohar” and/or Sefer Yetzirah that teaches how to create living creatures out of clay (Golem). But what is more importantly they purchase DIARY OF RABBY WHO ACTUALLY CREATED GOLEM. They don’t buy the diary same day. It takes him time to consider risks of being “melted” However after find cockroach in his cereal bag and sitting in his crappy apartment he becomes enraged and goes to book dealer and buys the book. After more research (during which main characters are haunted by strange dreams and hallucinations) they decide that they are going to the forest and will create Golem, documenting the whole process on film, step by step. During the creation process, one of them dies by accident and Golem disappears (the park ranger appeared, wanting to check what they were doing in the forest at night.) The camera is broken beyond repair and all they have is the tape. They are running from Golem. While in their car, they ran into a deer and destroyed their car. Now they run on foot. They lose the only cell phone. Main character damages his leg and that slows them down. They reach old factory on the edge of the forest. Inside the factory the main character (who has the tape) falls asleep while others scout the factory for the First Aid kit or a working phone. When he wakes up, the tape is missing. He becomes paranoid that one of them stole the tape for him or herself. In the argument he starts fighting with one of his friends and kills him in the accident. Meanwhile, other members of the group begin to disappear and everyone start to think that the main character is killing them. They all hide in the factory from the main character. Only main character and his girlfriend are alive. His paranoia catches up with him. He starts asking her about the tape. She denies that she has the tape. Insane with anger he starts beating and choking her. Suddenly, he sees the fear in her eyes, understanding that she sees something horrible behind him. He lets her go and turns around. He begins go cry from what he sees (audience does not see it) and crawls away (since he cannot run) slowly. The shadow of what he sees covers him and he looses consciousness.

When he wakes up, first he does not see anything but then he sees his dead body on the ground and realizes that Golem (being without soul) sucked his soul out and now the main character is forever trapped in the Golem’s clay body.

END: In the end of the movie, we first see face of the main character’s girlfriend telling to someone what happened to their group. When the camera backs away we see that she is wearing stray jacket (like in metal institution) and she is talking to a doctor who is writing something even without looking and her. On his table we see the tape (with traces of mud on it. The table itself is sterile clean as if to show that no one cares about the tape). He calls the nurse without lifting his head and she or he takes (rolls in wheelchair) the girlfriend away. The doctor without stopping writing something in his journal opens the bottom drawer swipes the tape of the table into the drawer (the drawer is filled with the tapes, children toys and so on) and closes the drawer.

(At the last shot the camera view is from the drawer and when doctor closes the drawer we get complete darkness)

THE END

Sequences

1) Past-Forest, Men try to raise creature, Fail?
2) Present- Book Store: Book Dealer + John + Girlfriend, not sure to buy?
3) Apartment Crappy: tired of his poverty John. John almost eats cereal with cockroach and calls the Book Dealer. (Can show him as taxi driver or limo driver with rude clients, What other dynamic but horrible jobs,? fast food?)
4) John’s Apartment (or picnic, or maybe try another more dynamic place)
a) Development of the meeting scene questions
b) How many friends? Is anyone initially present at John’s presentation? Or should we introduce someone later. Maybe girl Anna is jealous off? As Lowes says “Don’t show your apartment at once. Reveal it bit by bit. Otherwise people will lose interest.
c) Who is easy going? Gene has bad feeling about it.
d) How John persuades them?
5) John shows the tape explains money plan and shows the book. Some friends believe and some note. Will take persuading on his part.

Starts learning the book

Before nightmares start need to wake up small piece of mud. Then the big piece will call for him.

Reached Decision

10) Driving to the Place. (I don’t we need to show gather, packing and going?)
11) Forest: preparations, sitting by the fire and talking.
12) Ritual
13) When clay begins to glow (just like in the Past) Trooper comes with his sirens blazing. (By the way why it is not woman?)
14) They run to calm him or her down so he/she see the ritual ground. (everyone but Camera Girl)
15) Trooper seems to be persuaded and gets in the car and drives away.
16) At the same time: while they talk to trooper we see that at the ritual something gets up and Camera Girl sees it.

Dreams

EXT. DZUBINKI FOREST NEAR PRAGUE – NIGHT (1879)

There was something omnious about that night even moon looked like a cyclope surveing its territory. In a dense fog you could barely see four figures moving along the narrow path that was leading towards the river. The three figures behind were burdened by heavy bundles and following inevedently tall man who was leading the way. Suddenly the tall man motioned the others to stop; the river was close they could hear the quite SOUNDS of the flowing water. The tall man motioned to continue on. As they approached the spot that they have selected earlier for the ritual, the fog dissipated as is the whale was lifted from their eyes or by magic. As practiced before they started gathering clay from the river bank in ritual baskets and carrying it to the site of ritual where the tall man made a clearing the side of full grown man on the ground. When they have collected enough clay, they carefully removed straw rugs from their bundles and placed them in the middle of the clearing in the shape that strangely reminiscent of a human body. They proceed to cover the rugs with the clay from the baskets. The tall man who stood watching intently approached to what looked like a head. With the nail of his index finger he drew three Hebrew letters AMET (in Hebrew truth) on the forehead. Meanwhile his assistants cleansed and closed themselves for the upcoming ritual. The tall man got up and signaled that he was ready to begin. The assistants placed themselves at their designated places. The tall man took his place and the ritual began.
Slowly as the time passed one the ASSISTANTS noticed something. Pointing to the faint glow that was slowly spreading threw the clay.

ASSISTANT
(whispering with fear and amazement)
Rabbi, Look!

The fog, as by someone’s command, magically covered them with opaque darkness, swallowing every sound of the nightlife. The night forest stood in suffocating silence. All of a sudden a piercing SCREAM filed with horror and despair filled the stillness of night breaking the silence.

Transition between past (forest) and present (city). Last scence (forest) scream, then title of the movie, then we see casting names on black background interrupted by 1st view of running and heavy breading man(if the waking sequence was done in black and white, then this view is also in black and white. (back and forth, back and forth). The camera runs through forest and then into the city at the same speed mode, like the chase. While it begins to gain color due to the fact that it happens at night, we can get away with making it appear black and white. The camera “runs” through the empty city streets.

From the street level camera dives into a basement entrance (dark) and then in some kind of antique store, filled with books shelves. The camera flyes between rows of bookcases of old books. The camera finished the run with a fast, heavy closing old book on the book’s cover we see some lettering in Hebrew or Aramaic. We see old hand and voice

INT. OLD BOOKSTORE – NIGHT (PRESENT)

The night city often reminds of a big forest with yellow eyes of monsters looking at you from behind the threes and each light has a story to tell. It was not different that night and if we were to follow one light it would lead us into a small shop of antique books and between shelves of old books covered with dust and to a little corner of backroom. Where an old BOOK DEALER was whispering something to a young couple. When he leaned backwards to take look at their amazed faces, he said with slight European accent.

BOOK DEALER
Yes, it is true, every word. It is all in this book and it can be yours …

(Book Dealer then squinted cleverly and added)

… that is if you can afford it

A young people were looking at one another for a minute and then at the book. A small old book with a black with lettering in Hebrew. You could tell that they were weight what they just heard against the money. A young man looked at the book dealer and asked.

JOHN
I have heard of other books that claim to know how to make IT. What makes this one so special?

The Book Dealer obviously getting irritated and annoyed by ignorant questions but eager to close the sale he answered non the less.

BOOK DEALER
(irritated)

It is not just a book that you can buy in any store, what do I look to you like Barnes and Noble? This is the only copy of the Rabbi’s Diary. The one he left on his table before leaving to the forest.
(MORE)

BOOK DEALER (cont’d)
Some Kabbala teachers say that his instructions making the creature were different from the ones you will find in other books.

JOHN
(sarcastically)
So different that it got him killed?

BOOK DEALER
No, off course he was never killed. It is true that he disappeared after that night and was never seen again. But mostly likely was afraid that elders will not approve of his experiments and decided to leave his town. In old times it was different, you change town and you are “never seen again”

Book Dealer pauses for a second and then looks above his glasses at the young man

BOOK DEALER
So are you going to take it?
JOHN
Look, you are asking for a lot of money. I have to sleep than one over.

BOOK DEALER
I have to warn you. Someone might buy before you!

JOHN
(as if seeing through the Book Dealer’s smoke and mirrors)
I don’t think anyone is crazy enough. Let me think a couple of day.
(John pauses for a second as if trying to remember something)
By the way I always wanted to ask you where is the first page of the book?

Book Dealer quickly replies with what seems as pre-rehearsed answer

BOOK DEALER
This is the way I got. Now if you do not mind I have business to take care off. Call me if you want it.

INT. JOHN’S APPARTMENT – DAY

John was sitting on his century old couch in his apartment and looking at the wall. (need to describe how terrible his apartment looks)

Trying to figure out what he should do next. On one hand he had the plan of how he is going to become rich and breakout of his routine of dead-end jobs, abusive bosses and credit card debts. However on the other hand the plan required him to max-out all of his credit cards and borrow from everyone he knows. Yes the book was expensive, actually too expensive for him but without the book he will never be able to make his plan reality. He slowly reached of an open box of cereal standing by his couch as he was about to eat some, he saw a huge cockroach crawling in the box.

JOHN
(screams)
I fucking hate my life!

He throws box of cereal against the wall. A second later he reaches for a phone, dials a number. As soon as male voice on the other line said hello.

JOHN
(in breaking voice but trying to be firm)
This is John, I will take your book.

INT. JOHN’S APPARTMENT – EVENING

John is sitting on the same couch but now he is not alone he is with his friends. His girlfriend ANNA looks at him and she is the only one besides John who knows what will take place tonight. VIVIAN and HARRY are sitting together holding hands and Harry whispers something to her and Vivian giggles. SMITH sits next to ELAINE and although she is friendly to him we see right away that they are not close physically however good friends but Smith is really trying to become more than just friends.. BOB is sitting on couch and looks at Smith and Elaine with careful jealousy. He obviously likes Elaine. John gets up from the couch with bottle of beer in his hand and begins by reaching for VHS remote and turns on his TV and VHS.

A tape begins to play, on the screen something that looks like a taping of the News or some other TV program. On the screen female NEWSCASTER reads.

NEWSCASTER
(monotonically)
Now this one should be definitely filed under Strange News File: An undisclosed philanthropist offers
$1,000,000 to any individual or organization that provides undeniable proof of paranormal phenomena. He can be contacted at number you see on your screen

Johns turns off TV and looks at his friends for a second and then says.

JOHN
So what do you think?
HARRY
(not really carrying) About what?

JOHN
Do you thinks it is a good idea to make money?

SMITH
(sarcastically)
Have you see any “paranormal phenomena” lately?

John looks at him for a second and then goes to another room. Everyone is every quite. Only John’s girlfriend Anna who knows what is about to happen patiently waits for his return. John comes back with something wrapped in plastic which he unwraps very carefully and we see that this is the book from the bookstore.

SMITH
(curiously) What is that?

JOHN
(looking at everyone mystifyingly)
This is our way to that million dollars.

ELAINE
What do you mean? What is it?

JOHN
Anna, why don’t you bring us some beer.

INT. JOHN’S APPARTMENT – NIGHT

John is sitting in darkness only with one lamp and is scanning pages of the book and then reads translation on the page. From time to time he refers to another big books that look like some kind of dictionaries or references. Suddenly he hears slight NOISE something from another part of his apartment. He is very scarred and walks towards the room where noise comes from. He sees shimmering light that comes out from under the door of his bedroom. When he opens the door he sees a naked bold woman sitting with her back towards him. Her arms raised at her sides and from the wrists comes out blood and goes unto ceiling as if she is bleeding upsidedown. John’s mouth opens as if he is going to scream but nothing comes out because he is paralyzed by fear and trembling of his body. He looks at the whole scene with absolute horror. Finally he manages to scream and Wakes up.
He fell asleep on his desk. We can see dripplets of sweat on his forehead. He nervously with shaking hands gets out pack of cigarettes and begins to smoke. Greedily sucking in cigarette smoke as if it was life saving water. He obviously cannot calm down so he gets a bottle of alcohol and begins to drink. So slowly drinks himself to sleep.

Johns Dreams

1) In his dreams he sees himself as a Rabbi directing students in the creation of Golem. When time comes he will see the same picture frame only with modern people standing there (or maybe in his dreams he directs his friends)He sees his hands in the frame.

2) Continually sees nightmares of a dark hands reaching for him. (comic relief: Stands in subway (we audience) see black hand reaching for his shoulder from behind. When touches, he turns around with a punch (why would he want to punch, did he see scary reflection in the a glass?) and knocks out homeless guy. Apologizes, gives him some money. Homeless guy checks the bill out and mutters to himself, “It ain’t worth it”

INT. JOHN’S APPARTMENT – NIGHT

John sits in front of his computer and works on translation and suddenly stops after reading newly translated text. He looks shocked. He reads out loud to himself.

JOHN
Hallucinations persist, the dreams are becoming more and more intense. I have noted on page one on how to stop them.

John grabs a phone and dials. Someone answers.
JOHN
This is John. Can I come by the shop. (he listens to complains on the other side) Yes, I know it is 2 o’clock in the morning. But this is an emergency.

INT. OLD BOOKSTORE – NIGHT

Book Dealer opens door of his house and sees John on doorsteps, nervously smoking and looking around with a little bit of mad look. Book Dealer is a little bit shocked by John’s appearance (not shaved, looks very tired and stressed). But he cares more about the fact that he was woken up late at night than John’s grooming habits.

BOOK DEALER
(irritated) What do you want?

JOHN
Look. I need to know about the missing first page. Where is it?

BOOK DEALER
(not carrying much and annoyed)
I told you there is no first page. This is the way diary was when I acquired it.

John sees that he is getting no where. He deeply inhales a cigarette smoke and in one quick motion throws away cigarette and pushed the Book Dealer inside the appartment.

JOHN
You don’t know what I’ve seen! I am on the fucking edge here. If I am not going to see first page I swear to God I will fucking break every bone in your fucking body.

BOOK DEALER
(scarred)
I told you there is no…

John interrupts him with a punch to stomach. Then another and another. Blood Dealer begins to whimper like an old animal.
Punches become stronger and more careless. But there is no sense of pleasure or satisfaction on John’s face. He just wants to beat the answer out of the dealer. He punches Book Dealer into face and he flies across the room and hits book shelf. He falls on the floor and books fall on him. He begins to cry.

BOOK DEALER
(crying)
Please stop. I will show it to you.

Johns follows Book Dealer to a basement where Book Dealer opens an old safe and gets a very old yellow piece of paper and hands it to John. John looks at the page.

JOHN
I will need to translate it.
BOOK DEALER
(powerless)
There is no need to translate it. I will tell you what it says. (he pauses for a moment) Once you began process the Golem will drive you crazy unless you wake him up. One you start you cannot stop.

John losing all energy slides down the wall and begins to cry, pressing the page with both of his hands to his chest as if hugging it. While he continues to cry, Book Dealer sees it as opportunity to get out and starts slowly moving towards the stairs. John is crying and seems not to notice him. Book Dealer get to the wooden steps leading out of basement and as his foot touches first step it makes NOISE. John quickly lifts his head, as if awaken sees the Book Dealer. He looks at the Book Dealer with eyes filled with madness and anger.
He quickly moves towards the Book Dealer.

JOHN
(mercilessly punching the Book Dealer in the face)
Where are you going? We are yet to finish negotiations.

John starts beating up the Book Dealer and throwing him around the basement. Completely trashing the place with the Book Dealer’s body.

JOHN
(while beating the Book Dealer)
Here is your fucking commission … (another punch)
… customer fucking satisfaction is guaranteed.

The Book Dealer’s face and body becomes a bloody pulp. He stops “responding” to the beating and his body is lifeless while being thrown around. During one of the throws Book Dealers body knocks down oil lamp and his body catches on fire and as woken up by terrible pain he starts to SCREAM and run around the basement setting on fire all of the books and newspapers stored on the shelves. In horror John is pressed with his back to the wall. Engulfed by fire Book Dealer runs around BASEMENT in what seems to be chaotic pattern and at some point BOOK DEALER runs towards John. Johns raised his hands as to protect himself. Book Dealer grabs John’s forearms with his burning hands and out of fire emerges FACE which gets an inch from John’s face.

FACE
You must wake him up!!!

John screams and wakes up. He gets up from the table and go to see the Book Dealer. When he gets to his house there are FIRE TRUCKS finishing putting out fire. The fire is out. John sees paramedics carrying body on stretches under white blanket. We see that it is a severely burned corpse with extended hands as clenching unto something. John approaches CHIEF who is commanding firemen.

JOHN
Excuse me Sir. What happened here?
CHIEF
(as if talking to himself while directing firemen)
Old fart, he had to use damn oil lamps. As if electricity is not enough.

Johns is shocked because he realized that last night wasn’t a dream. He touches his wrist and squirms in pain, he lifts his sleeve and sees black burns as if from fingers.

CHIEF
(as if finally acknowledging John’s existence)
Why? Did you know him, son?
JOHN
(walking away)
Not really. I know he had a bookstore

Chief looks suspiciously at John while he rides away on bicycle.

John has another nightmare which he suppose to find out what will happen if he does wakes up Golem. However his dream is interrupted by flashing, strobe-like lights. He slowly opens his eyes and the blinking is cause by sun hitting between the trees. John is in the moving car. As we wakes up he overhears his friends talking about some philosophical mambo-jumbo.
They come to the location (it is already evening) they set it up and start to sit around fire, drink a little bit to shake the fear off and talk bullshit.

EXT. RITUAL GROUND – NIGHT

The clay begins to glow and they are all standing completely shocked. Lights and sounds from police-like SIREN takes their attention away.

VIVIAN
Shit! Cops.
JOHN
Relax. There are no cops here. It is probably park ranger and all he cares about is that we don’t cause any troubles.
(thinking for a second)
We all need to go and show him that we nice bunch of kids camping out, that we are not on drugs and are not going to sacrifice any animals.
(looks over the group)
Vivian stay here. You are not best representation.

Fuck you.

VIVIAN

JOHN

This is exactly what I am talking about.

They are going to the Ranger. They approach ranger’s car. The RANGER steps out but we cannot see much because we are blinded by Ranger’s flashlight. As Ranger approaches …

JOHN
Is there a problem officer.

Ranger continues waling towards the group, we can finally make out that this a woman.

RANGER
It is nice of you to take initiative, son. But I will be the one asking questions here
(she begins to illuminate every face in the group one after another)
Boys and Girls what the Hell are you doing here at night? That is if you don’t mind me asking?

JOHN
Well, officer…
RANGER
Son, is everyone except you here is mute?

CUT TO:

RITUAL GROUND

Vivian is looking through the camera viewfinder. We see her face being more and more illuminated by the glow. Slowly she takes her eye away from the viewfinder and opens both eyes widely, her eyes are filled with horror and yet have some kind of mystical surprise. She smiles in disbelief but we can tell that she is genuinely horrified. She starts backing away from the camera, half bent over, just the way she was standing when operating camera. She starts lifting her head as if something tall approaches her. The glow decreases and becomes really dark.

Zoom on her sandals, she is walking backwards. The camera tilts over on tripod and falls to her feet.

We HEAR her whining (puppy or child like) and we see slowly the urine begin to drip down her feat. (she is wearing a summer dress) Suddenly, sandals are lifted in the air as if something strong picked up Vivian. We see her legs being slammed against the tree and urine running down her feet.

CUT TO:

TROOPER AND GUYS

Trooper apparently satisfied with his investigation, prepares to wrap things up.

TROOPER
OK, Boys and Girl, I will be back here in the morning. I have your licence plate down. So the camping grounds be better alright when I come back.

Boys and Girls quietly node but feel more relaxed now that they took care of the Trooper. However, John seems to be very nervous as if he cannot wait to get back to the ritual ground.

Park trooper begins to walk towards his car. Group begins to walk towards ritual ground. Trooper gets into the car and begins to drive away with his lights still blinking. It slowly rains.

CUT TO:

INT. TROOPERS CAR

It rains so the Trooper turns on windshield wipers and starts whistling some kind of a tune. Suddenly a piece of mud/clay hits his windshield.

TROOPER
(mutters)
No kind deed shall go unpunished. Let me teach you a lesson fucker.

Trooper gets out of the car and shines his flashlight towards group that is already almost in the forest. They turn around.

TROOPER
Is that one of you fuckers in the bushes? I swear to God. I will shove my flashlight up the ass of anyone I find in those bushes.

While group watches in complete surprise and silence, Trooper begins to walk towards bushes with his flashlight aimed at the bushes. When Trooper already in the bushes we HEAR his surprised voice/scream, struggle and then flashlight goes out. Silence. Darkness. The only light is the blinking of red siren of his car. John realizes that something is happening. They run toward Ritual Ground and find Vivian with her head stuck between branches with fork-like branches holding her by the neck and her summer dress drenched with blood and urine. Camera lies on the ground, all broken and covered in mud and does not seem operational when John tries it. John gets the tape out.

Smith is hugging Vivian’s body, crying and muttering, he presses Vivian’s head to his chest while trying to clean off the mud and clay, unsussesftul, only getting her summer dress even dirtier. Johns is strugling with broken camera and tries to open broken tape ?door? He finally menages to open it and puts the tape into inside pocket of his coat. The rest of the group is standing in shock.

JOHN
(screaming and pulling Smith away from Vivan’s body)
We cannot stay here. We need to go. Everyone, run towards the van.
(to Smith)
We will come back for her later.
SMITH
When later?!? In the morning?
JOHN
How the fuck am I suppose to know. I all I can say is that we cannot stay here.

They are drugging Smith to the Van. Everyone gets in the van. Everyone is in shock. Everyone is complete panic. Smith is crying. They get into the Van and start driving.

ILANA
Where do we go now?
JOHN
We need to push trooper’s car off the road.

HARRY
(pale)
I can do it.

ILANA
(obviously carying)
No. No one is going to go to that car, we will find another way out.

John starts up the car. They start driving. Everyone in the car is silent. John beggins to feel more sure of himself and steps on gas. Smith is crying so are the other girls.

Since the trooper’s car blocks their way………………………………………………….

Car is driving through the forest. Suddenly something big hits their windshield John loses control of the car and they are going into a ditch. As they hit a tree, a big black mass rolls of the windshield on the hood and then rolls of the car completely.

INT. INSIDE THE CAR.

John’s POV: He looks around the car and sees that everyone is messed up but OK. Some passengers have bleeding noses but everyone is alive. John is breathing heavily and we can tell that he is in pain. He looks down and sees that piece of wood went through the door of the car and into his left thigh.

JOHN
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

He pushes the door open and as the door opens the piece of wood comes out of his leg and he screams in pain.

At some point he shines flashlight at the black mass lying on the windshield and the first ray hits messed up face trooper. Everyone screams like crazy.

He gets out of the cars and falls down. He finally manages to get up and slowly limps on one foot to see the front of the car. He sees a Park Trooper lying in front of the car. He is obviously shocked. He helps others out of the car.

Dialogue – Explains to them that whatever it was strong enough to carry Park Trooper while chasing them and then threw his body onto their car. Should be feared. They start running on foot.

INT. FACTORY SMALL ROOM – NIGHT

They put John down to rest he has a tape on his chest with his hands crossed in his chest. He falls asleep and has a nightmare (Dark forest, feels female heavy breathing behind him, Is is the same female from the “Bathroom Scene” in his first nightmares?)He screams and wakes up.

INT. FACTORY SMALL ROOM – MOMENTS LATER

He wakes up. His hand is still on his chest, but there is no tape. He becomes paranoid, takes a piece of wood and ties to his leg as a makeshift leg brace. He screams in pain but is determined to get up. By the time he is finished adjusting the brace, Smith comes back.

JOHN
(John is sweating and is feverish. He obviously cannot control himself.)
Smith, where is my tape?
SMITH
(Obviously saddened by the loss of Vivian, ignores the seriousness of the missing tape)
Why are you asking me?
JOHN
(feels that Smith is brushing him off)
Because I went to sleep with the tape and woke up without a tape.

SMITH
(take is personally and is getting angry)
I never wanted to do your fucking experiment and now Vivian is dead.

Smith starts pushing John. An argument becomes a fight. Since John cannot stand on his leg, they fall on the ground and start rolling on the concrete floor and garbage, knocking down old factory furniture. At some point, John is on top of Smith, feeling he has gained control of the situation. At that moment he sees blood coming out of Smith’s mouth. He also sees a blood stain spreading on his chest.

WE SEE there is actually a(metal rod, piece of glass, etc.) piercing him from behind. John is kneeling down next to Smith’s bleeding body, hugs him, pressing his lifeless against his chest (we can see they were really close). He is weeping and his hands and chest are covered in Smith’s blood. Harry and Bob come back and see Smith’s dead body, and John kneeling next to him, covered in blood. They think John killed Smith. John gets up, crying and starts walking/limping (Frankenstein moment) towards them, his hands and chest bloodied.

BOB
(getting really-really scared, saying/stuttering to Harry)
Harry, I think we should leave right now.

HARRY
(ignorantly, Ivan-like) Fuck it man, I can take him.

BOB
Harry, dude, I think we should really leave that one to the police.

They start slowly backing away from John, turn around and run. John is too broken up to go after them.

INT. SOMEWHERE IN THE FACTORY – LATER

Harry and Bob are running towards the exit. They are not sure where they are. They remind more of a pair of trapped rabbits then human beings. They are running down a narrow hallway, their footsteps are bouncing as echo of the concrete wall. There is a hole in the floor. Bob jumps over the hole first. Seconds later, Harry jumps over, but he is too heavy. He does not quite make it. He teeters on the edge for a second, making it seem like he made it, that the edge of the hole collapses inward and he falls down, barely able to grab on to the edge.

HARRY
(barely able to speak, breathing heavily)
Help me man, I am falling, give me your hand. Common man, help, I don’t want to die, not like that.

Bob is standing, motionless, looking down at Harry hanging on to his life. Bob realizes this is his only chance to take Harry out of the equation (Bob – Harry – Ilana).

As if in trance, he starts walking towards Harry. He kneels next to Harry, looking into Harry’s hopeful face. Bob stretches his hand toward Harry as if to pull him out, tears streaming down his pale face. Looking into Harry’s eyes, he begins to loosen Harry’s grip. Harry begins to wine like a trapped small animal, loosing his macho personality. Harry falls down without a scream. Bob gets up, slowly turns away and starts walking down the hallway. Suddenly he sees something which surprises and scares him at the same time.
He begins to back away with an expression of fear and confusion. He falls into the same hole.

INT. INSIDE THE HOLE – MOMENTS LATER

We see Harry laying with his eyes open, “looking” up. Bob in on top of Harry, his head resting on Harry’s chest. They look serene and peaceful.

INT. SOMEWHERE IN THE FACTORY – LATER
Ilana dies from the drowning (like the dream John had).

Ilana walks around the top floors of the factory, trips and falls down a shaft with the barrel of water at the end. She is deep down in the barrel, splashing in the water. She feels around the sides of the barrel to find some way to climb up, but the edges are smooth and slimy, making it impossible. She screams for help. She glimpses a shadow above. She screams again and someone closes a lid. She swallows more and more water and begins to drown. As she stops straggling and goes down to the bottom, unconscious, we see her body gliding through the green water (very Rammstein like moment).

INT. SOMEWHERE IN THE FACTORY – LATER

John finds Anna and asks her about the tape. She goes into “you don’t think I’m special” monologue. At this point audience realizes she may have the tape, but no decisive clue is given. She becomes hysterical and scream in a high- pitched voice. John angers and starts choking her. She is lying on the ground, and he is sitting on top of her. Anna starts pointing with one hand to something behind John and tries to tell him something, but can’t because John’s hands are cutting off her air supply. John himself sees a mirror image of someone other then himself reflecting in Anna’s eyes. Mystified, John lets Anna go and turns his head around (without getting up). Using the moment, Anna starts crawling away, gagging and coughing into the shadows and toward an exit. Anna gets away. John sees IT.

His facial expression is frozen in a mask of complete shock and disbelief. While crawling away on the muddy floor he talks to himself and to IT (why can’t I have the small things I wanted – the point is to make audience feel bad for a looser). He crawls facing the floor. His POV: screen goes to black, as if gets knocked out.

INT. SOMEWHERE IN THE FACTORY – LATER

John POV: when John wakes up, everything is blurry at first, but he slowly comes about and starts looking around. He sees a body, face-down, laying on the floor. The body seems to be wearing clothing similar to John’s. He crawls up to the body and turns it face up. Its it a John look-alike, dead, with symbols AMET on his forehead. He realizes he is now in the body of golem. Wide-shot: naked (and covered with dry clay/dirt-like crust) John/golem is squatting in a pigeon- like position. He mumbles something, but lost his ability to speak (golem cannot speak, being not a complete human being). John looks up as if to God, it feels as if he is going to scream “why God, why!”, instead he produces same scream/sound we heard in the beginning of the movie (now audience realizes what happened to religious Jews.

Extra?

I/E. FACTORY OR BANK OF A LAKE – MOMENTS LATER

John/Creature is screams, cries, tries to clear off the clay but it is “stuck” to his body (in general very Mutter like moment)

INT. DOCTOR’S OFFICE – LATER

We see Anna’s face (white background, cannot really make out where she is). She looks very tired and just a little bit insane. She is talking and it seems she is talking to herself. She sways her body back and forth, as if in prayer.

ANNA
No one will believe us. No one will believe us. But The Tape. The Tape. I am sure it is all on the tape.

She keeps quite for a a second as if trying to remember something or zooms out. The she continues …

ANNA
…the Tape … It is very important

Camera slowly moves back and we see that she is sitting, strapped into a wheelchair, wearing stray jacket like on in a mental institution.

Camera movers to the left-back corner of the room and we see Ann sitting by the wall. Doctor on camera’s right, writing something, without looking at Anna.

She continues to mumble something and he continues to write. Camera gives one close-up of doctor’s pen writing on paper. Some doctors gibberish that we cannot make out. We see medications and high dosages. Camera makes one from doctor’s right side and we see that on the side of the table lies the tape, in the zip-lock bag (with a sticker saying “EXHIBIT A” and a date), covered in clay. The tape in on completely sterile table as if to show that on one cares.

DOCTOR
(without lifting his head, loudly)
Nurse!

A nurse comes and wheels mumbling Anna out of the room. The doctor continues to write. After a short period of writing, he puts his pen down, with his left hand he picks up a piece of paper he was writing on and reads it to silently. Without looking, he opens a bottom drawer of his desk with his right hand. We see the drawer is filled with all kind of artifacts (toys, tapes, and other items). View from inside of the drawer: without looking, doctor opens the drawer and with his right hand swipes the tape into it, then closes the drawer.
Pitch black and HEAVY MUSIC.

Dreams

Prologue: The Creation, 1870
Deep in the heart of a dense forest near Prague, under the pall of a moonless night, a solitary figure labored in secret. This was a Rabbi, a man steeped in the mystical arts of the Kabbalah. His face was veiled in shadow, but his eyes blazed with a fervor that belied his serene countenance.
The Rabbi was engaged in an age-old ritual, one that was whispered only in hushed tones amongst scholars of the arcane. Kneading the damp clay from the river Vltava, he began to shape it, his fingers moving with a precision borne out of deep knowledge and unswerving resolve.
Underneath the haunting symphony of the nocturnal forest, the Rabbi began chanting in Hebrew. His voice was steady, the incantations imbued with a power that seemed to ripple through the still air. The clay figure, standing as tall as a man, began to take form. On its forehead, the Rabbi etched the word ’emet’—truth.
The final incantation was spoken, an utterance that echoed ominously through the darkness. Then, there was a palpable shift in the air. The clay figure stirred. The Golem had awoken.
The Rabbi stepped back, his eyes wide with a mixture of fear and fascination. Then, out of nowhere, a horrific scream echoed through the forest, piercing the silence of the night and sending a chill down the Rabbi’s spine. The scream was so chilling, so filled with anguish, that it seemed to reverberate through the very fabric of the forest. And then, silence …
This scream, a harbinger of something profoundly unnatural, would resonate across time and space, only to find an echo in a cramped New York City apartment, centuries later.
Chapter 1: The Proposition
John’s apartment in New York City was a testament to his monotonous existence – cramped, dimly lit, and cluttered with discarded food containers and tech equipment. His days revolved around his work as a software engineer, where he spent endless hours developing artificial intelligence systems. These AI creations were like his children, albeit children he had no emotional attachment to. They were tools, designed and coded to make life easier for their human masters.
His girlfriend, Anna, often complained about his lack of attention and affection. She longed for a family, a child of their own. But John, with his pragmatic and somewhat cold demeanor, never seemed to acknowledge her desires. Her hints about wanting to be a mother fell on deaf ears.
One evening, after a particularly grueling day at work, John sat slumped on his worn-out couch, mindlessly scrolling through his phone. His weary eyes landed on an intriguing headline – a science society offering a million dollars to anyone who could present something inexplicable by its members. “Ha,” he muttered to himself, “as if anything is truly unexplainable.”
His gaze fell on an old book perched on his cluttered bookshelf. It was an ancient text on Kabbalah he had purchased on a whim during one of his rare visits to a bookstore. The book contained cryptic instructions about creating life from clay – a Golem. The process was steeped in ancient mysticism and folklore, a stark contrast to his life rooted in binary code and algorithms. A sudden thought crossed his mind, an audacious idea that brought a rare smile to his face. “Could I, a man of science and technology, create a Golem? A creature from clay, animated by ancient incantations, instead of lines of code?”

The absurdity of the idea was overwhelming, yet strangely compelling. It was as if the universe was presenting him with an opportunity to reconcile the old with the new, to merge ancient mysticism with modern technology. As he delved deeper into the book, his AI development software hummed in the background, algorithms running, data compiling, and learning. The juxtaposition was striking – a man engrossed in an ancient text, surrounded by the hum of modern technology, contemplating an unthinkable fusion of the old and the new.
The possibilities swirled in John’s mind, like a whirlwind of ideas. Unbeknownst to him, this was the beginning of a journey that would unravel the very fabric of his existence, a journey that would bring him face to face with the unimaginable. Little did he know, he was about to create more than just a mythical creature. He was about to set in motion a series of events that would change his life forever.
Chapter 2: The Pact
The next morning, John stood in the middle of his apartment, the ancient Kabbalistic text clutched in his hands. His eyes scanned the room, falling on the faces of his friends, five of them in total, who were all looking at him with varying degrees of skepticism.
“John, you can’t be serious,” said one of them, a sharp-tongued woman named Rachel, her arms folded across her chest. “This sounds like some plot from a bad horror movie.”
John’s gaze hardened. “I am serious, Rachel. I think we could make this work. We could use our skills, our knowledge, and create something incredible. And besides, a million dollars isn’t exactly pocket change.”
One of the others, a burly man named Mark, leaned forward, his interest piqued. “A million bucks, huh? That could solve a lot of problems.”
John nodded. “Exactly. And think about it, we’d be doing something no one else has done before. Bringing a legend to life.”
“But it’s just that, John, a legend,” countered another friend, David, adjusting his glasses. “There’s no scientific basis for any of this. It’s pure mythology.”
John smiled at him. “That’s the point, David. We’re not trying to prove the existence of the Golem. We’re trying to create something that the scientists can’t explain. Something beyond their comprehension.”
The room fell silent as everyone absorbed the gravity of John’s proposal. Anna was the last to speak. She had been quiet throughout the discussion, her face a mask of concern. “John, this isn’t like you. You’re a man of science. This is…this is madness.”
John turned to her, his eyes softening. “I know it sounds crazy, Anna. But I believe we can do this. And if it works, it changes everything for us. Our lives, our future.”
For a moment, the apartment was filled with a tense silence, everyone lost in their thoughts. Then, one by one, they began to nod, the allure of the challenge, and the hefty reward, proving too tempting to resist.

With a determined look on his face, John set the ancient book on the table. “Then it’s settled. We’re going to create a Golem.” Little did they know that this pact, made in the heart of New York City, would echo back to a lonely forest near Prague, reigniting a tale of mysticism, fear, and the inexplicable.
Chapter 3: The Research
Over the following weeks, the friends threw themselves into the project with an intensity that surprised even themselves. Their apartment became a hive of activity, filled with late-night discussions, debates, and a constant flow of coffee.
John, with his background in folklore and mythology, delved into the historical aspects of the Golem legend. He spent countless hours pouring over the Kabbalistic text, cross-referencing it with other sources, and trying to decipher its cryptic instructions.
David, the scientist of the group, approached the task from a different angle. He focused on the physical attributes of the Golem, trying to understand how a creature made of clay could possibly move and function. He ran various experiments, each one more complex than the last, but the results were always inconclusive.
Rachel, a filmmaker by profession, documented the entire process. She filmed their discussions, their experiments, and even their failures, convinced that their journey was just as important as their goal. She also took it upon herself to research the science society offering the prize, wanting to understand their motivations and anticipate their reactions.
Mark, with his practical nature, focused on the logistics. He procured the materials they needed, from clay to obscure herbs mentioned in the text. He also found a suitable location for their eventual attempt at creating the Golem, an isolated spot in the woods, far from prying eyes.
And then there was Anna. She found herself increasingly worried about the path they were taking. She wasn’t as easily swayed by the promise of wealth or the allure of the unknown. But she loved John and trusted his judgement, so she supported him, even as her concern grew.
As the days turned into weeks, the friends became more and more consumed by their project. The notion of creating a Golem, once an outlandish idea, was now their shared obsession. They pushed each other, challenged each other, and together, they moved one step closer to making the impossible possible.
Yet, in the midst of their relentless pursuit, they began to experience strange occurrences. Unexplained noises in the middle of the night. Shadows that seemed to move on their own. Dreams that were too vivid, too unsettling to be mere figments of their imagination.
Unbeknownst to them, their endeavor was stirring something ancient, something that had lain dormant for centuries. As they continued their research, the line between legend and reality began to blur. The echoes of a Rabbi’s incantation in a forest near Prague were growing louder, and the story of the Golem was slowly, inexorably, coming back to life.

Chapter 4: The Preparations
Despite the unusual occurrences, the group pressed on, their focus unwavering. They were so close now, they could almost feel the clay come to life under their hands. Preparations for the big night were in full swing.
The first task was to gather the clay. This was a job for Mark, who took to it with his usual pragmatic approach. He traveled to a riverbed on the outskirts of the city, where he spent the entire day digging and collecting clay. By the time he returned to the apartment, he was covered in mud and utterly exhausted, but his sense of satisfaction was palpable.
Next was the acquisition of the other materials mentioned in the text. Some were easily available, like certain herbs and spices. Others, however, were more elusive, like a specific type of parchment and an ink made from an obscure type of soot. Despite the challenges, they managed to gather everything on the list.
Meanwhile, Rachel was busy setting up her filming equipment. She wanted to capture every single detail of the process, from the shaping of the clay to the final incantation. She also set up multiple cameras in and around the forest area where they would create the Golem, ensuring they had every angle covered.
John and David were responsible for translating and interpreting the Kabbalistic text. This was no small feat, as the language was ancient and full of complex symbolism. They spent many late nights huddled over the text, debating interpretations and rechecking their translations. Slowly but surely, they began to decipher the instructions.
Anna, however, was on edge. Her initial concerns had only grown with the strange incidents and the group’s increasing obsession. But she kept her fears to herself, not wanting to dampen the group’s enthusiasm.
Finally, after weeks of preparation, they were ready. The night of the ritual arrived. They packed their materials and set off for the woods, their hearts pounding with a mix of excitement, apprehension, and fear. The city lights faded behind them as they drove into the darkness, towards their date with destiny. Little did they know, they were not alone. The echoes of a scream from the past were following them, growing ever closer.
Chapter 5: The Ritual
The forest was cloaked in an eerie stillness as they arrived, the whispering leaves the only sign of life. They set up their equipment in a clearing, the moon casting long, twisted shadows through the trees. A chill ran down their spines. It felt as though the forest itself was watching them.
John took the lead. He began to shape the clay, his hands moving with an almost hypnotic rhythm. His eyes were intense, his concentration absolute. The others watched in silence, their breaths held, as the lump of clay gradually took form.
Rachel was busy documenting everything, her camera lens capturing the transformation of the clay. The rest of the group assisted John, following the instructions carefully translated from the ancient text.

The Golem began to take shape. It was a crude figure, roughly human-shaped, but there was an uncanny sense of life about it. As John carved the word ’emet’ onto its forehead, they all felt a strange energy in the air. It was as though the forest itself had held its breath.
Then came the incantations. John began to chant, his voice echoing through the stillness. Each syllable seemed to vibrate in the air, filled with a strange, magnetic energy. The others joined in, their voices merging into a powerful chorus.
Suddenly, the Golem stirred. Its clay body twitched, then jerked violently. They stared in disbelief as the clay figure’s chest began to rise and fall. The Golem was alive.
A gasp ran through the group. They had done it. They had actually done it. But their celebration was short-lived. A sudden, chilling scream pierced the air, the same scream they had heard in their dreams. It echoed through the forest, bouncing off the trees, filling the air with a sense of dread.
They turned to see the Golem standing tall, its clay eyes glowing with an unnatural light. It moved towards them, each step shaking the ground beneath their feet.
And then chaos broke loose. Fear gripped them. Some tried to run, others were frozen in place. The cameras kept rolling, capturing every horrifying moment.
They had sought to create a myth, but they had awakened a monster. Their screams echoed through the forest, swallowed by the night. The ritual was complete, but the nightmare had just begun.
Chapter 6: The Escape
The forest was a labyrinth in the dark, the twisted paths leading them further into its depths. They stumbled through the undergrowth, their hearts pounding in their chests. The Golem was somewhere behind them, its heavy footsteps echoing through the trees.
John was leading the group, his mind racing. The Golem was their creation, but it was out of control. He had to find a way to stop it. The ancient text had instructions for bringing the Golem to life, but it didn’t say anything about stopping it.
Rachel was beside him, her camera still recording. The others were scattered, some injured, all terrified. Their dream of fame and fortune had turned into a nightmare. The Golem, their creation, was hunting them.
They reached a clearing, the moonlight illuminating a small, abandoned factory in the distance. It was their only chance. They had to find a way to stop the Golem, or at least buy themselves some time.
As they made their way to the factory, the forest seemed to close in around them. The Golem was still on their trail, its presence a constant terror. They had no choice but to keep moving, their fear driving them forward.
Once inside the factory, they barricaded the doors and windows. It was a temporary respite, but they knew it wouldn’t hold the Golem for long. They had to find a solution, and fast.
John was going through the ancient text again, his eyes scanning the lines for any hint of a solution. The others were nursing their injuries, their faces pale and drawn. Rachel was still recording, her camera capturing their desperation.
In the distance, they could hear the Golem. Its footsteps were getting louder, closer. They had only a few moments before it reached them. They had to act, and they had to act fast.
As the Golem’s roars echoed through the factory, they braced themselves for what was to come. They had created a monster, and now they had to face the consequences. But they were not ready to give up. Not yet.
With each passing second, the Golem was getting closer. They could feel its presence, its raw, terrifying power. It was their creation, but it had become their doom.
But as they faced the monster they had created, they found a new resolve. They were not going to go down without a fight. They were going to face the Golem, and they were going to survive. They had to.
