Darkness Wakes (2017)

(dramatic music)
(gentle music)
The weight gets heavy
As I'm walking through
the storm
I ain't no fighter
ain't no fighter
But I try to carry on
'Cause I've walked
through the valley of love
And I'm hoping to get back
I've never been the type to
love
But here I go, here I go
Love me to pieces
Love me to the bone
Love me when it's over
Love me when I'm gone
Love me to pieces
Love me to the bone
Love me when it's over
Love me when I'm gone
(gentle music)
(door creaking open)
Ah, you must be Charlotte.
Hi, yes I'm so sorry I'm late.
Yes, yes please come in.
Thank you.
[Mr. Farrow] Find us alright?
Yes, yeah kind of.
We are a little off
the beaten track.
So you're a student.
Yes, psychology.
Ah, the study of the mind.
Fascinating.
Well, aren't you
a pretty thing.
Isn't she a pretty thing
darling?
She certainly is.
So the cat.
Ah, yes.
My wife and I are attending
an event this week,
and then find ourselves
without a cat sitter.
We're looking for the sitter
to stay for three nights
Friday through Monday.
Would that be any
problem for you?
No. no, that would be okay.
Well, it isn't easy for us to
entrust our house to a
complete stranger.
So we're being vigilante.
We don't want to
return to discover
that our home has been the scene
of a rave
or something
One does hear stories.
As we want this responsibility
to be taken seriously
we're prepared to pay
generously.
We feel 200 pounds a night
is more than
reasonable for what
we're asking.
Yes, yes that sounds
very reasonable.
You understand
it's not just a question
of looking after our cat.
It's also about looking after
our home.
Oh, of course
I'd respect your home
and everything in it absolutely.
Well, thank you for coming.
We'll let you know.
It was weird.
The people are seriously odd,
and the house is
as creepy as it gets.
But?
But they're offering 200
pounds a night.
200 that's great.
But they haven't offered it to
me so.
(cellphone ringing)
Is that Seth?
Ah, come on give the guy a
chance.
He's 24.
You're super hot.
What were you expecting?
That he wouldn't be
dying to sleep with you.
I was expecting
not to be made to feel
like a frigid bitch
all the time.
Well, in all fairness
you guys have been together for
what like
four months.
Yeah, well I don't care.
I don't care how long it's been.
I don't care that that's
what people expect me to do.
I don't care that it's just sex.
I don't want just sex.
I want something real.
I want it to be special.
I don't just wanna do it
and have it mean nothing.
I don't just wanna do it
and have it mean something.
I wanna do it and
have it mean everything.
Oh.
You are a frigid bitch.
No.
(cellphone ringing)
You can't deny the guy is
persistent.
It's not him actually.
- Hello.
- Is that Charlotte?
Hi, Mr. Farrow.
[Mr. Farrow] Are you still
available this weekend?
- Yeah.
- Good.
In that case we'd like to
offer you the position.
- Oh, that's great.
- Starting tomorrow.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, thank you very much.
Yeah, of course.
[Mr. Farrow] We'll expect you
around 11.
Okay, I'll see you
tomorrow then.
[Mr. Farrow] Good.
- Okay.
- Good.
Thanks, bye, bye.
Looks like I got the job.
(tense music)
I don't know if you're
much of a drinker,
but you're welcome to help
yourself to whatever's here.
Thanks.
The wine cellar's down there.
Again feel free to help
yourself.
Thank you that's
very kind of you.
The lot is in there.
There's tin food, bottled water,
cat food
cat litter that sort of thing.
She keeps herself to herself.
You possibly won't even see her.
Here's the backdoor.
We usually keep it bolted.
Downstairs toilet.
Fridge.
Bread bin.
Kettle.
The plates are down there.
Cutlery is in here.
Matches in case you
need to use the cooker.
I'm sure you'll get the
hang of it.
Toilet, bathroom, shower
I should warn you that
our hot water
can be a little temperamental.
It's a beautiful house.
It's been in our family
for generations now.
(floorboards creaking)
My wife's always been
something of a
last minute packer I'm afraid.
So your room is upstairs.
We generally just
use it for storage.
It was our son's room once.
Oh, I assumed you didn't have
children.
There were no pictures or
anything.
He died.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
You won't need to go up there.
We've put you in the porch room.
There's plenty of light in here.
I assume this is
alright for you?
Yeah, it's great.
Good.
The nearest bathroom is opposite
in case you have to get
up in the night for a pee.
There's no internet I'm afraid.
We're rather old fashioned,
and I doubt you'll get much
mobile phone reception.
But you're welcome to use the
house phone.
The music room.
As I said the heating
can be a bit irregular.
You're welcomed to light
a fire if you're cold
but be sure to use the
extractor,
or you'll fill the house with
smoke.
Okay.
Well, I think that just about
covers it.
Here's the number
where we'll be staying
in case you need to
get hold of us.
Hello dear.
Afternoon, Mrs. Farrow.
Well, I'm just about
ready, darling.
Good, I think we all are.
(tense music)
(cat food box rattling)
Here, puss, puss.
Puss.
Puss.
Pussy cat whose name
I don't know.
(dramatic music)
(soft piano music)
(soft rumbling)
(soft rumbling)
It's the cat.
Just the cat.
(tense music)
(soft rumbling)
(soft squeaking)
(tea kettle whistling)
(tense music)
Yes.
Shit.
Thank god.
Too expensive.
Way too expensive.
(light buzzing)
Shit.
(heavy breathing)
(match striking)
Come on.
Oh, come on.
There.
(tense music)
(soft rumbling)
(floorboards creaking)
(tense music)
(wind blowing)
(faucet running)
(loud rumbling)
(tense music)
(floorboards creaking)
(cat screeching)
(tense tone)
(tense tone)
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
(monster growling)
(monster screeching)
(heavy breathing)
It's just a dream.
Just a dream.
(suspenseful music)
Take that, you furry terrorist.
(lively music)
My senses warned you
leave me now
To walk out
Throw down the bottle
to the ground
To the ground
The day is here
it's black and white
Pretty close but out
of sight I don't need
Oh, god.
I'm so sorry I just...
I didn't see you I just...
Weirdo.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
Love me to pieces
Love me to the bone
Love me till it's over
(soft humming)
What the fuck?
Are you okay?
Let's get you out of the road
just in case some cars come.
Are you okay?
Of course I'm not okay.
It's you.
Sorry?
I'd recognize you anywhere,
darling.
Oh, no.
Oh, my god get off me.
He's found you already.
I can smell him on you.
Oh, my god.
He's found you already.
Mind your dreams.
Mind your dreams.
He's found you already.
Fucking freak.
[Marie] Mind your dreams.
[Charlotte] Mental.
Hey you.
Hey.
You alright?
I almost just hit
a lady with my car.
- Oh, my god.
- I know.
I mean she was mental.
She was like stumbling around
in the middle of the road.
I got out to see
that she was okay.
But she was just like
shouting and ranting at me.
I mean I think she was pissed.
Jesus Christ.
Morning ladies.
[Kate] Hey.
[Waiter] Can I get you
something?
I'm gonna have a hot
chocolate.
Yeah, me too please.
That's a cute accent
where are you from?
Um,
Paris.
American school when
I was a kid.
American school.
[Kate] Yeah, what about you?
[Waiter] I'm from California.
Amazing I've never
been to the West Coast.
[Waiter] It's beautiful.
You have sun, red woods, ocean.
Sounds great.
Yeah, you'd really like it.
Hot chocolates coming up.
Thanks.
Well, that'll be nice for you.
- He's cute.
- You're terrible.
Yeah.
So how's it going?
Well, last night was awful.
I started hearing these
noises in middle of the night,
so I get up to have a
look around and stuff.
I open this door and the
cat jumped out at me.
It scared me half to death.
I'm not even joking.
I thought I was
having a heart attack.
I liked cats
up until last night,
and you're gonna laugh.
But,
honestly I can't shake this
feeling like I'm being watched.
Okay, it's totally haunted.
Yeah.
I'm being serious.
I had the worst
nightmare last night.
I can't...
I can't even describe.
You poor thing.
Well, you know it's only
a couple more nights.
At least they're paying
you properly for it.
Yeah.
Yeah and they have given me
free reign in the wine cellar.
Well, there you go.
Every cloud and all that.
Yeah, I guess.
Hot chocolates.
Thank you.
Thanks, handsome.
You're welcome.
Thanks handsome.
Well, I'm French.
Unbelievable.
I'm dreading going back there.
Right, tell you what.
How about I come out
to the house tonight to
keep you company
for a few hours.
I would love that but
they were quite
specific about not
having people over.
Whatever.
(speaking in foreign language)
It's just a couple of hours
no harm.
Plus,
I've never been to a
haunted house.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha.
(dramatic music)
Hello.
(dramatic music)
(soft rock music)
(soft rumbling)
(soft rock music)
(soft rumbling)
(dramatic music)
(floorboards creaking)
(tense music)
(nails scraping)
(heavy gasping)
(monster growling)
(violent screaming)
(loud knocking on door)
- Hi.
- Hey,
I was starting to think you'd
been eaten
by the beast of the house
or something.
Whoa, look at this place.
No wonder you've been freaked
out.
Hey, I need to get dressed.
So, um
I got another call from Seth.
Asked me to talk to you.
He said he was sorry about
pressuring you and everything.
Thanks letting me know.
He's so sweet.
Not to mention seriously hot.
I think you're crazy
to ditch him.
I haven't ditched him.
I just...
I just need some time to think.
Yeah, thinking's overrated.
If you ask me some times
all a girl needs is a good
fuck.
Can you imagine living
in a place this size
just the two of you.
No, but they used to
have a son.
Used to?
He died apparently.
No way.
Creepy on fucking creepier.
Did they say how?
No, and I couldn't exactly
ask could I?
(tense music)
Maybe the kid was a freak.
Oh, come on.
He's not dead at all.
He's locked up
in the cellar somewhere.
Kate.
Or maybe he's the
one you've been hearing
roaming the house at night.
I do have to sleep here
you know.
Yeah.
Alright let's go
I'm freezing my tits off.
Oh, no I don't know
what that is.
But if you are planning on
driving at
any point tonight I would not
drink it.
Come on you really gotta
lighten up a little bit.
(coughing) Oh, god.
I swear you could run
a car on that.
I did warn you.
Right, my well in size
bladder has had enough.
Where's the nearest toilet?
End of the corridor
on the left.
[Kate] Okay, cool.
I'll be right back.
(dramatic music)
(Kate screaming)
(loud thud)
Kate.
Kate.
Kate.
(floorboard creaking)
Kate.
Seriously I'm really not
in the mood for this.
Kate.
(door creaking open)
Oh, come on.
For fuck's sake.
(suspenseful music)
(floorboards creaking)
Kate.
Kate.
(suspenseful music)
This really isn't funny anymore.
(tense tone)
You fucking bitch.
Sorry.
Sorry I couldn't resist.
Oh, my god are you trying
to give me a heart attack?
Well, yeah, kind of.
Come here.
[Charlotte] You sure
you're okay to drive?
I'm pretty sure
you're over the limit.
I'm all right.
[Kate] Listen
sorry about earlier.
I just couldn't help myself.
[Charlotte] That's okay
I understand.
If it was the other way around
I probably would've
done the same.
Yeah,
we both know that's not true.
Listen you're gonna
have to loosen up a bit.
Enjoy yourself.
Relax.
You know.
Yeah.
Life's too short.
Yeah.
Drive safe okay.
Yeah, see you soon.
(soft music)
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
(monster growling)
(bones crunching)
(monster growling)
(tense tone)
(violent gasping)
(soft sobbing)
What is happening to me?
(monster growling)
(floorboards creaking)
(suspenseful music)
(bones crackling)
(violent screaming)
(suspenseful music)
(dial tone beeping)
[Operator] The number
you have dialed
has not been recognized.
Please check and try again.
The number you have dialed.
(dial tone beeping)
The number you have dialed
has not been recognized.
Please check and try again.
Fuck.
(somber music)
I'm having a nightmare.
Honestly I am freaking out.
I swear I'm getting sick.
I don't know what to do.
[Kate] Ah, hon I'm so sorry.
Listen, fuck the money.
I am not staying here another
night by myself. I can't.
The Farrows left me
a wrong number.
I can't just leave.
[Kate] Ah, babe.
Look I'm really sorry to ask.
But would you come over
and maybe stay the night
this time.
Please.
[Kate] Babe, I'd love to help.
But I'm at my
dad's place tonight.
I can't really just piss off.
I mean I haven't seen the
old bastard for months
and I only just got here.
Yeah, no, of course
I understand.
[Kate] Right look tell you
what I'll look into it, okay.
Yeah, I'm definitely
gonna sort something out.
Thank you, thanks.
[Kate] Hey,
what are friends for, right?
Hey, you just hang in there,
yeah.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Yeah, will do.
- I'll see you soon, hon.
(dramatic music)
Alright cat, one of us
should eat something.
Come on.
There you go.
You got to be
fucking kidding me.
Puss, puss, puss, puss.
(loud thud)
(suspenseful music)
Kate.
Kate.
Kate.
Kate.
- It's me, it's me.
- Oh, my god.
It's me.
Seth,
you scared the hell out of me.
You scared me.
What are you doing here?
I spoke to Kate.
She told me to come
and check on you
to see if you were all right.
You are alright?
Yeah.
How did it you get in?
The back door was opened.
[Charlotte] Of course.
What is this? Are you
trying to murder me?
Come here.
You've just tripped it.
All done.
Easy as that.
My hero.
Just happy to help
a damsel in distress.
(soft piano music)
That was beautiful.
Yeah.
I knew you'd like that one.
Thank you for coming over.
You life saver.
I literally was going
mental here by myself.
Yeah, I'm not surprised
look at this place.
Scary.
You should wear your
hair down more you know.
It really suits you.
Look I wanna apologize for the
way I've been acting lately.
I don't wanna make you feel
awkward or
like I've pressured
you into anything
especially if you're not ready.
It's just that fucking
hell you're beautiful.
You know that right?
I don't know when I'm around you
I can't seem to control myself.
You can't blame me.
I know I'm a lucky guy.
Take your clothes off.
(soft music)
(heavy moaning)
You sure you're ready?
Yeah.
(monster growling)
What the fuck was that?
It's fine, it's fine.
Seth.
It's fine.
There's nothing there.
Seth.
(tense music)
Seth.
Seth.
(muffled screaming)
[Marie] I can't believe
you brought her here.
What were you thinking?
It'd be safer here.
Shut up just shut up and leave
it to me.
I don't want you going
anywhere near that girl
you and that big mouth of yours.
You've been lusting after her.
What?
That's crazy.
Crazy.
Crazy is it?
Oh, that's rich.
I know what you're thinking.
The lust is written all over
your face.
Ah, you're awake.
Just relax darling.
You're safe here.
Yeah, safe here with us.
Yes.
You are a pretty thing.
I can see why they chose you.
Those monsters.
I am
sorry about all of this.
But we can't have you screaming
down the place now can we.
We don't want that they might
here,
and we can't have that.
This has to stop here tonight.
We can't have their
satanic practices
going on for one moment more.
No.
We can't.
We can't.
(soft sobbing)
I'm sorry about this.
My wife could be.
But she...
She's right though.
You'll be safe here with us.
I'm Davis.
Your boyfriend...
(tense tone)
that wasn't me.
I had to get you out of there.
I found some clothes
in your bedroom.
I didn't see anything we didn't.
I've been watching you
just to keep an eye on you.
There's nothing perverse
about it.
I mean you're very...
That's why they chose you.
They want to make an
offering of your body
to that murdering pervert.
He can't stay in the flesh
for too long.
That's why he comes to you in
your dreams.
You've seen him haven't you?
I know you have.
I can prove it to you.
Stay there I'll get the proof.
I can show you we're good.
A little tickle to
steady the nerves.
There's nothing against
wine in the bible.
I mean Jesus even turned
water into wine didn't he?
You can't imagine
what it's like,
me a woman of God
living in such close
proximity to that
devil at work in the
house next door.
(suspenseful music)
There's no point
going to the police.
You know what they'd say.
They don't understand.
No.
This is up to us
to do God's work.
Me and my husband we have been
chosen for this to do his will.
You understand that
don't you dear?
Uh-huh.
(muffled sobbing)
(tense music)
Let us pray.
Our Father who art in Heaven.
(violent screaming)
Die you bitch.
(suspenseful music)
(loud thud)
Whore.
Whore.
- Get off me.
- Whore.
Marie.
Marie.
(violent screaming)
(suspenseful music)
(loud gasping)
Did you sleep well child?
(suspenseful music)
It's time.
This will all be over
soon child.
Yes, it'll all be over for you.
Such a pretty thing.
I knew he'd like you.
You're special child.
Not like the others, oh no.
He doesn't just want you.
He wants to be with you.
You're going to be
one of the family.
(door creaking open)
That's it, there we are.
That's right.
Good girl.
(suspenseful music)
Two beautiful creatures.
Two offerings we bring for you.
One willing.
One unwilling.
Do you give yourself willingly?
[Woman In Mask] I do.
(woman gurgling)
(sinister groaning)
(suspenseful music)
(intense sobbing)
Shh.
Shh.
Are you ready to meet our boy?
He's here.
(tense music)
(monster growling)
(bones cracking)
Yes, my son, feast.
Feast on what we've brought you.
Take what is yours.
Take her.
Take her.
(bones cracking)
(monster growling)
No.
(violent screaming)
(loud thuds)
Come on, come on.
Come on.
Come on.
(violent screaming)
You're all right.
(dramatic music)
We did it.
We made it.
You're safe now.
(soft chuckling)
We fucking did it.
You're gonna be safe now.
You're gonna be all right.
We're gonna be all right.
(engine idling)
(monster growling)
(violent screaming)
(dramatic music)
