[ BIRDS CHIRPING ]
hey, there.
Hey.
[ CHUCKLES ]
it's good to see you guys again.
How was your drive out?
Oh, it wasn't bad at all, Mr.
Wilson.
Good, good, good.
Hi.
This your fiance?
This is my girlfriend, Laurie.
It's a pleasure to finally
- I've heard so much about you.
- Nice meeting you.
You guys want to go in
and see what you've gotten
yourself into?
- yeah, that sounds good.
- Okay. Let's go.
It's a really comfortable house.
I'm sure you're gonna like it.
Now, I know it's a fixer-upper,
but you've got a really nice guy
there, and you two can get it in
shape in no time.
We'll be back Monday to help
you get started on things.
Let me show you the breaker I've
been working on in the basement.
Laurie, why don't you let me
show you around the house while
the guys are finalizing things.
There you go, young man.
Oh. [ CHUCKLES ]
it's all yours.
Bye!
Bye-bye.
Bye.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
come here.
Come here.
We did it, baby.
We bought the house.
No, you bought the house.
Oh, what?
You don't like the house?
I mean, I know it'll take some
work, but I think we'll...
hey, hey, hey.
I like the house.
It shows initiative.
Yeah. Initiative.
[ HORN HONKS ]
baby?
Did you invite mark over?
Oh... Shit.
Uh, yeah. I forgot to tell the
guys the
place wouldn't be ready this
weekend.
What?
Who else did you invite?
I thought this weekend was just
for us.
Hey, come on.
I'm not gonna send them back.
They drove 90 minutes to get
here.
We're still unpacking, Hugh.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
dude! Nice pad, bro.
What's up, guys?
- what?!
- This place is so serene.
- mm-hmm.
- Oh, man.
Fuck!
There's no service out here.
How the fuck am I supposed to
facebook?
Yeah, man, I brought my own
camera.
I'm gonna take some awesome pics
of the party tonight.
Oh, hey, about that.
Um, I forgot to tell Laurie you
guys were coming, so be nice,
okay?
Oh. Yes, your royal majesty.
- Hey, amber. Laurie's inside.
- Okay.
Bye, amber.
[ LAUGHS ]
Kenneth, what's up, man?
Oh. Nice place.
There's no cops for miles,
right?
Why do you think I got this
place?
Hey, guys.
Oh, Laurie.
Your house is so cool.
This would make a great sketch
for my portfolio.
Do you mind?
No. Go ahead.
[ SIGHS ]
this place isn't cool.
It's creepy.
Why did Hugh pick this place,
anyway?
I don't know.
I mean, I told him to get a
place away from the city, and
he'd been looking at this one,
but I didn't actually think he'd
go through with it.
More like away from
civilization.
Look, he's already got you in
the kitchen.
Hey, does your cell work?
No, but there's a landline
right there, if you need to make
a call.
Nah. I guess I'll just have
to party without internet.
What? A party?
Yeah. Hugh and mark have been
planning it all week.
Everyone's supposed to be here
tonight.
He didn't tell you?
No. Son of a bitch.
Harmony?
What the hell do you have in
here?
Oh, that's Mr. Buddha.
He was a solstice gift when I
was 4.
But you should be very careful
because he's really heavy, and
if you drop him...
okay, I got it. Thanks.
Okay.
Where do you want your shit?
Hey, babe. Need any help?
No. I got it.
You and mark have been planning
this all week, huh?
Yeah. Uh, no.
Um...
I meant next weekend, and he
thought I meant this weekend.
So...
what?
You're not mad, are you?
Yeah, a little bit.
[ SIGHS ]
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
no, Hugh, I'm not mad.
I'm just disappointed in your
lack of communication.
I'm... I'm sorry.
That's it?
You're just gonna say "I'm
sorry," and you think it's gonna
be all...
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[ LAUGHS ]
Hugh, what's this?
Oh, that's, uh... that's my
crossbow.
I got it at the flea market a
couple weeks back.
What makes you think that we
need a crossbow?
We might have to protect
ourselves from the varmints on
the countryside.
I don't know.
What if we have to shoot, like,
a raccoon or a moose or
something?
You know how I feel about
weapons in the house, so I'm
just gonna take this whole box
and I'm gonna put it somewhere,
because the last thing I need is
you and your friends playing
"moose hunt" in our front yard.
[ INSECTS CHIRPING ]
oh, what's that?
Hugh bought a crossbow.
A crossbow?
What's wrong?
I don't know.
None of this feels right.
Well, the house is gonna look
great once you fix it up.
[ LAUGHS ]
yeah.
Where are you going?
I am going to go draw the house.
[ LAUGHS ]
all right.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING ]
whoa!
Hey.
What are you doing?
Drawing the house.
[ LAUGHS ]
okay.
Why don't you draw that one over
there?
Looks a bit more disgusting, if
that's what you're after.
Does anyone live there?
I don't know.
It doesn't look like it.
Let's go check it out.
Mnh-mnh.
Hey, Kenneth, let's go check
out that, uh, creepy house over
there.
[ LAUGHS ]
that doesn't look like it's
on Hugh's property.
I don't think anyone will
mind if we have a look.
There. You see?
Even nature girl thinks it's
okay.
I don't know, guys.
This place looks like it's
condemned.
Somebody might step on a nail.
At least that would be
interesting.
[ LAUGHS ]
[ SIGHS ]
[ GASPS ]
Hey, look at all this nature at
work.
It's so beautiful.
This garden looks like it's
been maintained... I mean, at
least a little bit.
[ GLASS SHATTERS ]
hey, it's open.
Oh. [ CHUCKLES ]
okay, isn't this trespassing?
This place is probably full of
asbestos.
We could get mesothelioma.
Your mom has mesoth...
Shut up, man.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
Laurie?
Yeah?
Hey, uh, where are the keys?
What do you need them for?
I just need to run into town
to pick up a few things.
A few things?
Uh, mark invited a few people
over to see the place.
Why do I not like the sound
it won't be anything major, I
We'll just, you know, have a
couple beers and send them on
[ SIGHS ] whatever.
I don't want to fight on our
first night here.
They're in my purse, side
pocket.
Thanks, babe.
I wonder what this place was.
Probably some old rich guy's
pad, man.
[ LAUGHS ]
come on, guys.
Can't you be more respectful?
Kenneth, who's even gonna
notice?
No one's been here for years.
[ LAUGHS ]
[ CRASHING ]
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
hey, mark, I'm gonna
rearrange some of this stuff so
you can take more photos of me.
Let me just change rolls real
it's so cool that you still
shoot on film.
Digital has no soul.
[ LAUGHS ]
there's just something so real
about film, you know?
I got to pee.
Where the hell's the bathroom in
this hell-hole?
Um, just go outside.
What am I?
Some kind of yokel?
Yokel?
[ BREATHES DEEPLY ]
[ CLICKS TONGUE ]
[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]
[ URINATING ]
ahh!
[ SNIFFING ]
come on, Kenneth.
Why don't you loosen up?
No, I don't think so.
Come on.
Nobody's watching.
Why don't you take this and
smash out that window.
Oh!
[ LAUGHS ]
oh, my god.
What the hell are you guys
doing?
He threw it.
What the fuck was that?
Kenneth, you should know better.
Good going, nerd.
[ LAUGHS ]
[ DOOR CREAKS ]
[ GASPS ] oh, gosh.
[ LAUGHS ]
what's that?
Looks like the basement.
Mm. Let's check it out.
We haven't been alone in hours.
No fucking way.
Hey, guys?
Um, I think we better head back
to the house.
It's getting dark, and Kenneth
said there might be coyotes.
[ SIGHS ]
coyotes? Where the hell does he
think we are?
You know, this place has a
different aura than Laurie's
house.
I can't tell why, though.
Whatever makes you happy.
[ TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING ]
[ CHEERING, LAUGHTER ]
[ LAUGHS ]
I dropped some acid about a
half-hour ago.
That's cool.
Yeah.
[ GASPS ] you want a tab?
No, I'm good.
Oh, come on. It's wonderful!
Sure.
[ LAUGHS ]
[ LAUGHS ]
let's go someplace quiet while
this starts to peak.
Oh, I know.
We'll go back to that old house.
I'll go get Mr. Buddha.
[ LAUGHS ]
you dance nice.
Yeah?
Do you like it?
[ LAUGHS ]
yeah.
That asshole!
Pig!
[ LAUGHS ]
[ LAUGHS ]
let me in, scary...
Scary house.
[ LAUGHS ]
aah! Oh, come on, Mr. Buddha.
Come on.
Let's go into the scary house.
[ LAUGHS ]
[ LAUGHS ]
can you see, Mr. Buddha?
[ JINGLING ]
[ LAUGHS ]
[ TECHNO MUSIC CONTINUES ]
damn it, Teaberry!
What? I always thought you
looked much better covered in
beer.
[ MOANING ]
that's it. Hugh!
[ LAUGHS ]
[ LAUGHS ]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS,
[ TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING ]
"just a few beers.
Send them on their way."
Bullshit.
[ SIGHS ]
where's Hugh?
What?
Where's Hugh?
Oh, I think he's in the kitchen.
[ LAUGHTER ]
[ LAUGHING ] you don't know
where your mouth is right now.

I was teaching her... I was
teaching her how to say,
"ay, papi."
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
you like that. Yeah, I know.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
yes.
You like that shit, man.
[ POP, ZAPPING ]
[ ALL GROAN ]
[ SIGHS ] what now?
Hey, everybody stay put.
I got this.
What just happened?
Who cares?
The power went out.
Stop! I can't see.
Let me get my phone.
[ CLICKING ]
[ ALL CHEERING ]
[ HEADS THUD ]
[ BIRDS CHIRPING ]
[ BREATHES DEEPLY ]
hey, there.
You've reached the
Bobby Sullivan.
I'm way too busy to take your
call at the moment, so if you
leave me a message, I might get
back at you.
[ GROANS ]
fuck.
This mailbox is currently
full and cannot receive new
messages.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
[ SIGHS ]
oh, my god. My head.
What the hell happened last
night?
Whose car is that?
I don't know.
Someone must have gotten a ride.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
that was a great party last
night, huh?
Laurie?
[ CHANGE RATTLES ]
we made some bucks.
Great. Maybe we can use it to
fix up this place.
Oh! Hey, hey.
What the hell's the matter with
you?
You really can't figure it
out, Hugh?
Look, I already told you...
matt and Sara didn't know that
that was our bed last night.
It's not about that!
Then what is it then?
Is it the house?
'cause if it is, I can just tell
the Wilsons we want to fix and
flip it.
It's not a big deal.
You know, we can find a house
that we both like.
It's not about the house!
Then what is it about?
Damn it, Hugh!
It's about the fact that I
wanted to move forward in our
relationship.
That is why I got this house.
No, it's not.
You got this house because you
want it to be a party house,
just like it was in college.
That's not even fair.
We've been talking about
doing this for months.
You even said you wanted to get
out of the city.
And I've been the one doing all
the work.
I made the calls.
I've talked to agents.
What have you been doing,
Laurie, huh?
You never include me in any
of these decisions.
Hey, Laurie and Hugh are
fighting again.
Shh!
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]
[ CHUCKLES ]
your stupid friends wanted to
get away from it in the first
That's not even fair.
You know, it was fun, but that's
You know I've changed since
changed? How have you
okay, you want to talk about
How many times have I asked you
to stop smoking, huh?
Once.
Once?
Kenneth, harmony!
I made some coffee!
Harmony is not up here, dude.
Well, where the hell is she?
I don't know.
Laurie.
Laurie. Look, look.
There you go again just walking
away from me.
Why won't you just turn around
and face me so...
what do you have to say to
I think we need to talk about
why?! Why are you yelling at
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]
guys!
BOTH: What?!
We can't find harmony.
Did you check upstairs,
Kenneth?
Yeah.
She's not in the house.
Did someone try calling her?
Is her cellphone working?
Our phones don't work out
here, remember?
And she was tripping pretty hard
last night.
Oh, great.
Are you serious?
Well, if the landline works,
I guess I'll just call her from
the house.
Piece of shit.
Are you guys all right?
I thought the partying was
cute in college, but now it just
seems a little bit
irresponsible.
Maybe you'll live longer if
you just leave him.
Uh, mark?
What's harmony's number?
That phone works?
No, it's just here for looks,
you moron.
[ SIGHS ]
oh, my god.
You know what?
I think harmony said she was
going over there last night.
Over there? Why?
We checked it out yesterday.
You what?
You went over there, Kenneth?
That's not our property.
We didn't mess up anything.
We were just looking around,
that's all.
Shit.
Harmony?
Are you here?
Harmony?
God, I hope she's not naked
in here.
Harmony?
Harmony?
[ DOOR CREAKS ]
Kenneth?
Yeah?
Let's go.
This place is creeping me out.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
I called harmony and left a
we checked the old house next
door... nothing.
I'm really worried about her.
She's fine.
She probably got a ride with
someone last night.
You know, there is that third
car out there.
Maybe she's just with them, and
we'll see her when they get
back.
We can't find any of her
stuff, so that means she must
have taken it with her.
Yeah. I guess you're right.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
I bet that's her.
Hello?
Oh, hi, Laurie.
So, how was your first night at
the house?
It was great. Very peaceful.
Well, great.
Have you had any problems at
all?
No. No problems.
Well, me and Robert will be
coming over tomorrow morning to
help you guys work on the house.
Uh, does 7:30 sound okay?
7:30 sounds great.
Ms. Wilson?
Can I ask you something?
It's about that house next
I understand it's a boarding
school, but why did it close?
Oh. You haven't been over
there, have you?
No, no, no, no.
I haven't been over there.
I was just wondering.
Well, we don't like to talk
about it very much.
There was a very sick little
girl over there, and it's
believed that she killed someone
there.
And I'm so sorry, but Robert
felt that we shouldn't be
telling anyone about it because
it might hurt the value of the
home.
You understand, don't you?
Yeah.
Okay. Well, we'll see you
tomorrow then.
All right. Bye, Ms. Wilson.
[ SCRAPING ]
[ INSECTS CHIRPING ]
"yesterday was good until it
got dark.
We heard tiffany again, but this
time, it sounded more like
screaming.
They teased her about the ring
that he gave her.
He thinks she's his property
now.
We're all really scared.
I don't know what he's doing to
her, but it's not right."
and you sang.
Do you remember that part where
you were singing?
No, no.
You were singing.
You were singing to me.
I don't think anyone has ever
sang to me.
"I knew what was really
happening to her,
but I couldn't help her.
She won't talk to anyone
anymore.
They saw the ring and knew the
truth.
That's when the other girls
started teasing her.
June 8, 1999.
Today was the worst day.
After he stopped screaming,
Christine called the police.
Then I saw tiffany coming out of
the basement with that saw.
She was all bloody.
She didn't seem alive.
As they took her away, the other
girls started calling her...
'blood widow.'"
I've got something for you.
[ BLADE WHOOSHES ]
aah!
[ SCREAMS ]
mark? Hey, mark.
Hey, calm down, man.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Holy shit, man!
- What the hell happened to you?
- Oh, god!
Stay... stay with us.
What the hell happened out
there?
Where's amber?
I don't know.
Somebody with a knife just
killed amber, man.
What?!
There's no phone.
Maybe we can run out and get to
the cars.
I'm not going out there if
some maniac has a knife.
Hey, listen, how many people
were out there, man?
Uh, I don't fucking know.
I don't...
Take it one step at a time, all
right?
Did you see who actually did
this?
I-i-i don't know.
It was so dark, and it just came
out of the shadows, man.
How do you know it wasn't an
animal or an accident or
something?
No, no. It was a person.
Hugh, is everything locked
down there?
I-i don't know.
Okay, you check downstairs.
I'm gonna check upstairs, okay?
Um, Kenneth, get that back door
locked right now.
We have no phone.
How are we gonna call for help
if we have no phone?
Shut up, okay?!
I-i got to think.
I got to fucking go out there.
Ugh!
What are you doing?
Laurie, where is my crossbow?
I'm taking care of this right
You can't go out there.
Where is my fucking crossbow?
Where did you put it?
You have to stay here with
me, please.
You can't go out there.
[ THUD ]
he fucked up the cars, man.
We can't get out.
This dude's trying to kill us.
No.
How are we gonna get out now?
We can't try to make a run
We don't even know who's out
well, let's just wait it out,
The Wilsons will be here in the
They can call the cops.
Look, that's what we have to do.
We'll just have to fortify the
house and we have to wait this
For all we know, it's probably
some crazy bum out there.
No.
I don't think it's a bum.
Look, I brought some wood so
we could fix up the house this
weekend, so just grab some 2x4s
and start hammering, okay?
Let's go.
[ INSECTS CHIRPING ]
Laurie, how are you holding
up?
I'm fine, Kenneth.
Thanks.
Hey, what the hell?
Did he just kill the power?
How the hell did he do that?
I mean, the only way he could
kill the power is if he was...
Kenneth, did you lock that door?
Take Laurie and go upstairs now.
Hell no!
I'm going with Laurie.
Fine. Take her.
Kenneth, you're with me.
Come on.
Oh!
Hugh!
[ GASPING ]
[ WOOD CRACKING ]
aah!
What happened?
Uh...
what happened, Kenneth? What?
He knocked out Hugh.
What did you do, man?
We're gonna die.
We're gonna die!
Shut up!
We're gonna die!
We're...
grow a sack, mark.
What happened, Kenneth?
I- I don't know.
He... he...
what happened to him?
Is he okay?
He... he wouldn't wake up.
[ THUDDING ]
and you left him down there?
[ THUDDING CONTINUES ]
Let's get the fuck out of here.
What about Hugh?
Out the fucking window now!
She... she can't make that
jump.
I'll lower her down.
It's... it's only an 8-foot

I'm sorry, man.
Laurie... she...
She didn't make it.
Mark, too. They're all dead.
Wait. Dead?
Did you see it happen?
Where the fuck is Laurie?
Laurie fell out of the
second-story window.
I'm sorry. She's gone.
Wait. Well, is she still out
there?
I don't know. She fell.
That's all I saw.
Well, she might still be out
there, Kenneth.
We got to get going.
We got to help her.
No way, Hugh.
Listen, Kenneth, Laurie needs
us.
Look, man, the Wilsons will
be here in a few hours.
Let's just wait until then.
No. No. I'm not gonna wait.

No, no. She's in trouble.
Her body's not where it fell.
You saw that.
Hugh, we need more help.
No. I'm gonna get my fucking
crossbow, I'm gonna kill that
son of a bitch, and I'm gonna
get my girl back.
Hugh, look.
This camera wasn't out there
before.
Hugh, this isn't mark's camera.
Hugh.
Look at this.
Shit.
He's got her at that house.
Come on, put that shit down and
let's go.
Wait! We can't do that.
The Wilsons will be here soon.
Fucking damn it, Kenneth.
You may not give a shit about
Laurie, but I do.
So if you want to, you can just
leave your ass here.
Come on.
Come on. Let's go.
We went through the back door
yesterday.
He might be expecting that.
We're going through the front.
Let me see that hammer.
Come on, just give it.
[ CLANG, THUD ]
get ready.
