Deadline is a 2009 horror thriller film directed by Sean McConville starring Brittany Murphy and Thora Birch.

Plot

Alice Evans (Brittany Murphy) needs to complete a screenplay, which she has not finished due to a psychological breakdown after her boyfriend tried to kill her. With the deadline for the screenplay approaching, she accepts an offer by a producer friend to let her stay in a Victorian-style home he has recently purchased so she can focus on her work.
