Oh, man.
The yellow-- the red feels
a little more like--
Oh look, is that
chamomile tea?
- What's that?
- Tofu.
- Want to eat here?
- Bean curd.
- Is this gonna fuck us up?
- Did I order this?
Cheers to a wonderful
honeymoon.
- Oh!
- Yeah.
Look who's
getting married.
It's like Chinese
Brangelina right there.
They're doing
the offerings over there.
- Yeah.
- Pretty cool. That's pretty cool.
- This is for our healthy kids.
- That's for our kids.
This is just for good will
and peace around the world.
Are you a fortune-teller?
- Oh my God.
- No way.
Get out of here.
Match you.
- We're a match.
- We're a good match?
Good luck.
So how do we
get out of here?
- I just--
- I don't know.
I'm not a big fan of all this meat stuff.
Can we just get out?
This is nuts, man.
You see this?
I know.
He's really beautiful.
- Oh my God.
- He's like a huge piata.
Will you take
a picture of us?
- Good?
- Oh my gosh, I want one of these.
How much is that?
How much?
I got five, that's it.
All right,
this is for my girl.
Doing the offering.
Such a spiritual girl.
Sorry. Sorry.
- What's up, guys?
- Look how cute these kids are.
- Ping!
- Hey!
You son of a bitch!
Ping!
Oh, you guys
had a good time I see.
- We had a great time.
- That was so fun.
Always a good time
at Senwun during the Ghost Festival.
Very popular with young
people from America.
Ping, I got you
something.
This one's for you.
This one is for me.
We got the same shirt.
Gui yue.
- Gui yue.
- Gui yue?
Symbol of the month of ghosts.
Thank you, Mr. Yul.
Is that your size, man?
I thought you were a large.
Oh yes yes yes, large.
Perfect size. Perfect for me.
- Hey, we could be brothers.
- Brother?
Like wearing-the-same-
shirt brothers.
- Brother!
- You're retarded.
Ev-- every time
I wear the shirt,
I'll always think of you.
You know?
It's like a--
a spiritual connection.
Two souls on opposite
sides of the earth.
- You know?
- Yeah yeah.
Like, dude, we could pick a day of
the month that we both wear it.
- Ping. Here, this is for you.
- Hmm?
- Mel--
- What is this?
It's not quite as spiritual
as the ghost shirt,
- but I want you to have it.
- I cannot accept it.
- Yes, you have to.
- This is expensive wine.
I don't care, you've been
the best tour guide.
We love you so much
and we want you to have it.
Thank you, Miss Melissa.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You both have been
delightful clients.
We're so delightful,
aren't we?
But that shirt is kickin'
though, right, Ping?
I mean, that--
that's hot.
Very much kicking.
Number one kicking.
What are you
talking about?
That bottle...
was for us.
I wanted to give it to him.
Plus, you've had enough booze, okay?
- No, just a little.
- I'm nervous to meet your family.
- I don't want--
- Hey, Nai Nai's gonna love you.
What about the rest
of your family?
I don't know about
the rest of the family.
You know,
I got some aunts
and they gonna hate
your whitey ass for sure.
Great.
Would you like
a little quick one
- before we get to Nai Nai's?
- Really?
- Are you crazy?
- Crazy for love.
Get off me.
We don't usually
drink this much.
We've just been
planning this wedding
and having it and then
finally it's time
to just relax.
It's your honeymoon.
Both of you are celebrating
your new life together.
Sorry if we're obnoxious.
Don't apologize.
So do you think we're
still delightful, Ping?
Of course, Miss Melissa.
Still delightful.
How much longer
do you think?
Hour, maybe longer.
The roads in this
part of the country
is very tricky.
It's so weird because
it seems so-- so isolated
and, what, there's like
a billion people running around?
This is a big country.
Many farms to feed
all the people.
So do people really
believe that stuff
What?
The hungry ghost legend.
It's a very old
celebration,
but mostly for fun now.
But somebody
must believe it.
I mean, they wouldn't spend
so much time on the offerings
if they didn't
think it was true.
You're right.
Some people do
believe it's real.
Do you believe
in it, Ping?
Mmm.
Are we there?
No, we're not at Anxian.
Are you serious?
Why not?
I must admit I'm a bit lost
at this time, Miss Melissa.
Oh. Okay.
It's not like me at all.
But it's so dark.
And like I said before,
the road is very tricky.
This map is useless!
No use.
Don't worry.
It's-- I would be
so lost out here.
I understand.
I'm thinking, uh...
go down there
and ask for directions.
Is it okay?
- Yeah.
- Just wait here
and I'll be back
very soon.
- Miss Melissa.
- Hmm?
He's a good husband to you.
And you're
a good wife to him.
Thanks, Ping.
You're welcome.
Yul.
Yul.
Fuck.
Yul! Yul!
- Honey, Ping's been gone for an hour.
- We there yet?
No. I just went out
to take a pee
and there's like this weird
gonging noise outside.
God, my head is pounding.
Do you hear that?
What should we do?
What the hell is that?
- You said he went in there an hour ago?
- Yeah.
He left like an hour ago.
All right.
Hang on, hang on.
Oh God.
What are you doing?
- Let's go.
- Go where?
Find Ping.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah, come on.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
Looks deserted.
It does.
Ping!
This is definitely weird.
- Where do you think he went?
- I don't know.
Hello?
- Wei!
- Ping!
Ping!
Windows are boarded up.
Someone's been here.
This is fresh.
I mean...
- where is everybody?
- I don't know.
Oh God. Ping!
Ping! Oh no.
What are they doing
with these animals?
Look at the pigs.
This is weird.
Look at the goat.
Oh.
- Hey. It's the gong.
- Oh yeah.
Who the hell is that?
Uh, hello?
- Uh--
- Huh?
Tell him he left an hour ago
and we need to find him.
- Ping!
- What are they saying, Yul?
- Do you know?
- Uh--
- Do they want us to leave?
- I don't know.
Please, can you
help us find Ping?
I don't know.
- They keep saying the same thing.
- Okay. All right.
Yul, let's go.
I don't want to stay here.
All right, come on.
Let's go. Come on, Yul.
All right.
- These people are crazy.
- I know, I know.
Oh my God.
Oh my God, Yul.
What the fuck is this?
Oh my God.
- Be careful.
- What is this shit?
Dude, what the hell,
man? Who--
This is disgusting.
- Crazy motherfucker, what the hell?!
- Be quiet, Yul!
Some fucking punks.
- Oh good, the key's here.
- Teenagers or something.
- Let's go, get in the car.
- What about Ping?
- Honey, get in the car.
- What, you just want to leave Ping here?
Yes, we leave Ping here.
Come on. Get in.
Come on.
Fuck. God damn.
What is this, goat blood?
- Jesus.
- Come on, work.
Mel, there's not gonna
be coverage out here.
- Can I at least try?
- Just tell me what he said.
I already told you
what he said.
He said that he was sorry and that he was
going to look for directions.
- Okay.
- Where do you think he went?
I don't know. Maybe I pissed him off
with the t-shirt stuff.
Yeah, the t-shirt
was stupid.
Well, thank God he
left the keys, man.
Shit, I mean hopefully
we can find our way back to Senwun.
How are we gonna do that?
I don't know where we are.
And you were fucking
sleeping the whole time.
Okay, are you gonna get mad
at me for sleeping?
Yes, I am gonna get mad,
'cause you know what?
You should've been paying more attention
to where we're going.
- Are you serious, Mel?
- I don't know where the fuck we are, okay?
- Mel, whoa.
- And this phone is not working.
- And it's freaking me out, all right?
- All right, Mel, hey, shh.
- So we need to find a phone somewhere.
- Okay.
We'll go back
the way we came
and we'll-- we'll get to a place with
cell phone coverage.
And then we can
call my cousin.
Everything's
gonna be fine.
What the hell
happened back there?
People out here
in the countryside
are just more--
Fuckin' nuts.
Old fashioned.
You're not supposed to
Ieave your house
after dark.
So those animals outside
were live offerings
for the spirits?
Kind of like at the festival
but live offerings?
Yeah. You want to kick it
up a few notches out here
with goats
and dogs and shit.
But the idea is the same.
You leave an offering for the dead
and they won't come inside your house
and fuck with you.
What were they
yelling at us?
I don't know.
Your mom's right.
Your Cantonese is shitty as hell.
I think it was
an invitation.
An invitation?
Yeah.
Jesus Christ.
- Yul--
- I know. I know.
Five more minutes,
then we'll turn around.
Five minutes.
What do you expect,
Howard Stern?
Tower must be close by.
Yeah. Let me listen.
What's he saying?
I don't know. I can only make
out a couple words.
My Cantonese
is shitty, remember?
What is it?
What is he saying?
Old and new...
come together...
make offerings.
Protection...
blood...
sacrifice...
Oh my God.
What was that?
Huh, Yul?
I think it was a man.
A man?
Looked like an animal
or something.
It was a man--
a naked man.
Oh, no no no.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on,
come on.
Just ease up on
the gas a little bit.
- Come on! Fuck!
- Just try the reverse thing.
Okay. Okay.
All right,
stop. Stop.
Let me try.
Let me try.
- Let's switch.
- Okay okay.
All right, baby, just go easy on it, okay?
Give it a little bit of gas.
Honey, I know what I'm doing.
I've lived in DC my entire life, okay?
Okay. Okay.
Shit.
Go! Shit!
- We're stuck.
- Don't say that. Don't say that, Mel.
- Come on.
- Get out and push.
- You have to.
- What?
- Get out and push right now.
- What about the naked dude?
Do you want me
to get out and push?
Huh? Fine, I'll get
out and push.
No! Don't get out!
Don't-- Mel-- don't--
Then get out. Just do it.
Don't think about it.
Just get out, Yul.
You're doing good.
Please, more more.
I don't have any more.
Push harder, Yul!
You did it!
Get in! Go!
Get in! Get in!
Hurry, Yul!
Just go.
Just go. Go!
Jesus. Jesus.
- Did you hear that? What was it?
- Yeah.
- What was that noise?
- It sounded like an animal.
- What?
- It sounded like a pig being slaughtered.
Yeah, okay. Right.
I mean, who the hell
slaughters a pig
in the middle
of the night, huh?
We're in China, Yul.
Yeah. Yeah.
I know we're in China, Mel.
But this isn't just--
this isn't just
China-weird, okay?
It's fucking
just weird-weird.
Yeah, I know.
What, that's all
you're gonna say?
What do you
want me to say?
- Anything.
- Like what?
- Just something.
- Like what?
You got something to say,
just say it.
What do you want me
to fucking say?!
I should be swimming with
the dolphins right now!
- What?
- But no, we're in fucking China
because you wanted
to come here!
- Yes, I wanted to come here.
- This is all your fucking fault!
- It's my fault?
- Yes, I hate you right now!
- It's my fault?!
- Yes, it's your fucking fault!
- Why, because I'm Chinese?
- Yes!
Oh shit.
This place is so weird.
Oh my God.
Should we check on him?
- Just drive away.
- You want me to drive away?
Yeah. Reverse
and let's go back.
But what about this guy?
- Who cares about that? Let's just go.
- Huh?
Let's go. You don't want to be
in this country, right?
Oh my God, he's moving.
He's moving.
- Mel, please.
- I think we need to go see him.
- Mel, don't do it.
- Yul, I've got to go.
- Don't do anything stupid, Mel!
- I've got to go see him.
Mel. Don't.
- Mel.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Help me.
Are you okay?
Oh God.
They are coming.
What's he saying, Yul?
- What's he saying?
- We have to go.
What's he saying?
- We've got to go.
- They are here.
I think we have to go.
- Be careful with him.
- We have to go, Mel. We gotta go.
Let's go.
We gotta go. Come on!
We gotta go! Mel!
Open the door!
Come on, get in there.
- Do you got him?
- Yeah.
- Get in!
- Come on, get in the seat.
Oh my God!
Go!
- Turn us around.
- The road's too narrow.
- You're gonna run us off the road!
- Shit!
Get us back on the road.
I'm trying.
- Slow down a little bit!
- We'll get stuck!
Oh God.
- Shit!
- I think we hit a ditch.
- No shit, we hit a ditch, Yul.
- Sorry.
- Fuck.
- Fuck!
Go go go go go.
No no no.
- It's stuck.
- No it's not.
- God!
- Slow down, honey.
Slow down,
slow down, slow down.
What were those things?
What's he saying?
Moon demons.
They're going
to follow this path
through the field
and find us.
I think we should get
the fuck out of this car.
We follow him.
Oh God.
Let us in.
Open the door, please.
I beg of you.
Please show mercy on us.
I'm not from around here.
I don't know what's going on.
She is American.
She's not part of this.
Please let her in.
Please let us in.
Please help us.
Please, these people
are chasing us.
Please please please.
They're crazy people.
They're gonna kill us. Please.
You need to let us in.
You need to help us.
We will pay you anything.
Please. Please.
Please.
Keep your voices down.
Stop calling to them.
Hurry.
They will see us.
Help me move this to the door.
What is he saying?
We need to find something
alive to put outside.
Alive?
- What, like that dog?
- Yeah. Yeah.
Um, they're gonna come
inside and find us
unless we put something
outside for them to kill.
What the hell
are those things, huh?
I don't know.
What are they, part of
some cult or something?
I have no idea, Mel.
What do you know, Yul?
Apparently nothing.
There has to be
something we can do.
Yeah, there's
something we can do.
We can find something
alive to put outside.
Okay.
This is rice here.
This is rice.
We might get lucky
and find a rat or something.
Wei?
I think he found something.
Come on.
Wei.
Where is he?
Fuck you!
Motherfucker!
Stay away.
Don't be a coward.
You can save your wife
by offering yourself.
- You crazy motherfucker.
- It's the only way to save her.
- Why won't you do the honorable thing?
- Are you crazy?
Okay. All right,
let's go, baby.
- No. We have to stop.
- What?
We've got to stop.
- What?
- This is killing me.
Come on.
Come on,
we have to go, okay?
We have to get
going, okay?
Okay.
Come on.
Come on, baby.
How do you feel?
How do you feel?
- I'm beautiful, aren't l?
- You are. We have to go.
Oh, come on.
Come on, it's the car.
I want you to lay down.
Okay.
Okay.
Let's see here.
I need to keep
you warm.
Yes!
Shit.
- Wake up, Yul. You can't fall asleep.
- Hmm.
Yul?
Wake up.
- Why?
- Come on.
- Sit up.
- Why?
Because those things
are still out there, okay?
You can't leave me
alone out here.
Okay.
- Okay, baby, I'm here.
- Good.
- Awake.
- Yeah.
Please.
Okay.
- Yul?
- Hmm?
I love that you're Chinese.
Son of a--
Oh my God!
Don't let them take me.
Please.
Oh my God.
What are we gonna do?
- There's gotta be something we can use.
- For what?
A weapon.
Something in the car.
Is there anything else?
Tire iron-- there's gotta
be a tire iron in the trunk.
You're not going outside.
May not have to.
When I was a kid,
I was on vacation once.
Fuck.
My dad locked the keys
in the trunk at a rest stop.
Fuck.
I pulled the back seats off
and crawled through.
Saved the vacation.
I felt like a super hero
that day.
Oh good!
Fuck.
Help me with the light.
Come on.
I got it.
- Good!
- I got it. Not much...
- Oh shit.
-...but it's something.
Yul.
Oh my God.
Go away.
What are we gonna do?
Huh?
Come on, fuckers!
- Go away!
- Go away!
- Go away!
- Go away, God damn it!
Please! Shit!
Fuck! Fuck!
Fuck, Yul!
God!
Get in the trunk!
Get in the trunk!
Go go go!
Get the fuck off me!
Yul, get in the trunk!
Get in!
Come on, get in!
Fuck! Fuck!
Get off me!
Aw, shit!
Fuck!
Get off, you little fucker!
Yul!
Mel, help me find
the truck release.
Help me find
the trunk release!
Behind you!
Behind you, get it!
Fuck!
I think it's jammed.
Get us out!
- Fuck!
- Get the fuck out!
God damn it!
Come on.
Come on! Yul!
Come on!
- Yul.
- Shh. Shh shh.
- We're trapped in here.
- Shh.
What are they doing?
They might not
like it in here.
What?
We're in a tomb.
Fuck.
What is that?
It's a voice--
the voice from the radio.
I think it
scared them away.
Come to us.
What's he saying, Yul?
Come to us.
Yul?
We have to go to them.
There is safety here.
You will be safe here.
We are safe here.
Come to us.
Come to us.
Come to us.
We will help you.
We will help you.
You will be safe here.
You are welcome here.
Yul.
Yul.
Yul!
Yul.
- Is that you?
- Yeah, it's me.
What happened?
You shouldn't be nervous about meeting
my grandmother, Melissa.
What?
My Nai Nai's
gonna love you.
Just like my cousins
and the rest of the family.
- You got nothing to worry about.
- Yul.
- I love you, Mel.
- I love you too, Yul.
I love you so much,
but we need to get out of here right--
We should have gone
to Kauai like you said.
Yul, listen to me!
We need to get out of here.
- We need to leave, okay?
- These ropes are tight, baby.
Yul, push with me
right now.
- Push!
- Okay.
Come on.
Yul, push!
Come on!
Come on,
don't give up on me.
Don't give up on me, Yul!
- Mel.
- What?
Yul.
Don't worry, babe.
I'll get you out of this.
Oh God.
Yul.
Yul!
What are you doing?
What are you doing?!
Come on!
Take me, you bastards!
Take me!
Stop it!
Look at me!
No!
No!
Yul!
Yul!
Your husband made
a great sacrifice tonight.
He gave them
his life for yours.
Miss Melissa!
Stop it! Miss Melissa!
Please! Please! Please!
Please! Stop it!
Stop it! Stop it!
They come to our village
in the seventh lunar month
on the night of full moon.
They took away
one of our living
each time.
Many years ago...
we have decided
we would no longer let them
take our own.
So we bring in outsiders
for offering.
I'm very sorry.
I'm sorry for you
and for your husband.
What did they do to him?
They took him
to the place.
They're preparing him
for his final journey.
Is he still alive?
They have to
take them alive.
But he will be
one of them by moon fall.
Where did they take him?
Hey! Where did
they take him!
Miss Melissa, you--
you can't go there.
Help me.
Help me!
Just follow the path
that leads them here.
The candles will
show you the way.
Miss Melissa,
they will kill you.
No, Yul.
Yul.
Yul.
Oh my God.
Baby.
- Mel.
- Yul.
Where are they?
They're all around us.
But they're-- they're
like sleeping or something.
- They're not moving.
- They're not sleeping.
We could get
out of here, Yul.
Yul, we have to
get out of here.
They're inside my head, Mel.
They're waiting
for me to die.
Yul, we have to go.
I'll pull you
out of here.
I can't.
I've lost too much blood.
You have to be strong.
You have to fight.
- We can get out of here, Yul.
- They're gonna kill you.
They're gonna wait
for me to die.
And then they're
gonna come after you.
They already
know you're here.
- You have to go.
- No, I can't.
- Please.
- No.
Yul, please.
You have to get up.
Go see my Nai Nai.
She's your family now.
She'll know.
What will she know?
Promise me.
Yul.
Promise me, Mel.
I promise.
Mel.
What?
Go.
Go.
Miss Melissa!
Go that way.
Go out that way!
