Thirty years I waited
to see this place.
It look like what you thought?
It's not what it
looks like that matters.
It's what it feels like.
The Altai's one of the most
spiritual places on Earth.
Healing, magic, energy.
They tap into shit here
that the rest of the world
can't even comprehend yet.
Maybe that's what
you want to believe
so that you didn't waste
the last thirty years
of your life studying it.
Cynicism.
It's easy but it doesn't
leave much room for happiness.
(CHUCKLING)
I'll keep that
in mind professor.
Personally, I'd rather
be in the Bahamas.
Well, maybe next
time you could've asked
one of your friends
from the Bahamas
to get stabbed
four times instead.
Jesus, how'd I get
stuck in a car with you?
Any idea what we should
say to Kara's parents?
"I'm sorry?
"My condolences?"
Don't say anything.
It's been a year.
Yeah, they've probably
already gotten over it, huh?
I just mean maybe they
don't want to be reminded
their daughter's dead the
moment we step out of the car.
And you think they won't be,
surrounded by all
of her friends?
Maybe it'll be a little
awkward when they see you, huh?
Mike, let it go.
You coulda all been one
big happy family, Alice.
Is this you letting it go, Mike?
You think I'm the
only one thinking that?
No, but you're the only
one who's a big enough ass
to bring it up.
(CARS RUMBLING)
There's bodies
in these mountains.
(EERIE MUSIC)
Human bodies?
In 1993, archeologists
found a female mummy
encased in ice.
Twenty-five hundred years old.
The Altai did not
want her moved.
Said she was there
to bar the entrance
of the kingdom of the dead.
Let me guess.
They moved her?
And as soon as they did,
an earthquake shook
the whole area.
Floods, disease.
Christ, even the suicide
rate went up around here.
Sounds like a good time.
Let's just say
this isn't a place
where the dead like
to be disturbed.

You want to show
everybody you're a tool?
(CAMERA PHONE SNAPPING)
He's like the Siberian Tarzan.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
It's a Tree of Spirits.
In our culture, we
believe that the distance
between the living and
the dead is not that far.
And some spirits
choose to remain here.
So people hang ribbons.
As a sign of respect.
And to make a wish.
What do you really want in life?
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
I gotta show you something.
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
(SOMBER MUSIC)
I miss Kara too but...
This is just creepy.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Alice,
it's Brandon.
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
And you'd think they
wouldn't want to see him here.
Hate to say this but
you'd think they wouldn't
wanna see you either.
What is this?
This must be why we're here.
Coo bro,
my computer doesn't
turn on, man.
Is the battery charged?
Here, let me take a look.
Oh, wait.
I know what it is.
(LAUGHING)
Are you outta your mind, Tony?
Bringing that shit?
Tio, when traveling
international,
it's called smuggling.
Are you familiar
with the term "gulag?"
Is that what the locals smoke?
(LAUGHING)
Hey.
Sorry about back in the
car. I guess I'm just...
It's fine.
I just...
want Kara's parents to
know Brandon didn't do it.
You believe that, right?
It doesn't matter
what I believe.
I wasn't on the jury.
Helen told me that your dad
was gonna look through the case.
I, yeah.
Because if we could get one
of the top defense lawyers
in the country to help us...
Do you think I like Brandon?
No.
MIKE: No.
That doesn't mean I didn't
want to know the truth.
I asked my dad to take the
case when Brandon was arrested.
He was too busy.
I asked him when Brandon
was convicted, he said,
"do you know how hard the
appeals process would be?"
At Brandon's sentencing, you
wanna know what he said then?
"I didn't put you
through college
"getting innocent
people out of jail.
"They don't pay enough."
If there was new evidence, I...
Is there anything
that suggests to you
that Brandon wasn't the
one who murdered Kara?
I can't get a signal.
Is there like internet,
phone service?
Oh, not until the construction's
finished in the house.
And when's that?
End of summer.

Alright, man. Fuck it.
Piotr is preparing
as a shaman now.
It's important for the
ceremony to take place tonight,
on the one year
anniversary of Kara's...
Death.
Will her parents be there?
We'll pay our respects later.
This is an Itterma doll, right?
Mhmm.
Did you make it with
Kara's actual hair?
Piotr cut it off before
she was put in her coffin.
That's her favorite dress.
Isn't that what she wearing
the night she was killed?
She did?
They washed out
the blood stains.
And they stitched
the knife holes.

Kara's mother.

I thought you said her family
wanted us to come out here.
A week after Kara's body
got shipped from the States,
her parent's car got...
(EERIE MUSIC)
it went off a mountain cliff.
I am family.
Kara, my sister.
Why are we out here?
He's asking for permission.
To call upon the dead in
the presence of the living.
And the empty grave?
JEFF: It must be Kara's.
They just haven't
put her in it yet.
We believe that
the ground is for
those who found peace.
The sky
is for those who
are still searching.
After ceremony.
We bury my sister.
Where is she now?
Come.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Come.

Please, guys, welcome.
Jeff. Helen.
Mike.

This way, sir.
(PIOTR EXHALING)
Take your hands, please.
(PIOTR SPEAKING RUSSIAN)
Because Kara was killed
in an act of violence,
her soul has remained
in a state of confusion.
Trapped between the two worlds.
Begging for peace.
(CHANTING)
The shamans call it
the Black Sky Ceremony.
Kara.
It allows the feelings you
have for Kara to flow out.
And the love you have for
her becomes like a light,
to guide her soul
from the darkness.

No.
It was...
It was fucked up is what it was.
Can somebody please
tell me that that shit
wasn't just in my head?
And the smell.
It smelled like fucking death.
I can't get it out of my nose.
Kara's hair burning.
Sergei, what happened?
The Black Sky ceremony is...
is very powerful.
It's been passed on
through our shamans
for many, many centuries.
(LAUGHING)
You don't even know, do you?
Because you've never seen
anything like it before.
And you have?
Doing field research
in Tibet, Mongolia.
I saw white magic
in the rituals.
Shit that can't be
explained by natural laws.
What's your point?
The Altai tell us our
universe is layered.
Levels of heaven,
levels of the underworld.
Our Piotr just opened a gate.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
The question is,
in which direction?
Maybe you wanna
fucking elaborate?
Everything is energy.
Light energy, dark energy.
And it flows back and forth.
And when you communicate
with the spirit world,
it doesn't just
receive messages.
It also sends them.
That's what this was.
A message.
So what'd it say?
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
Ask the shaman.
What happened?
I think...
You...
no sleep for many hours.
But what the fuck just happened?
What the fuck just happened?!
Kara.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
Crazy, right?
It was sorta crazy

We've definitely

Exactly.
It was brave of you

Knowing how they'd look at you.
What they'd think of you.
We all lost our
friend. But you...
I didn't lose Brandon.
I'm still gonna visit him
every Sunday, twelve to one.
Until they find out
who really killed Kara.
Maybe then they can
even bury her, huh?
So the spirit world's
sending a message, huh?
I mean, what the fuck?
Maybe arson's not the best

I'm gonna go get some fresh air.

Itterma dolls.

Of all of us.
To surround her

Did you give Dan something?

Helen, go fuck yourself.
I speak Spanish and so

because of that I deal meth

No, bro, I didn't

acting all crazy.
What do you mean crazy?
Crazy. Like when
we went upstairs,
he had some look

Like what?
Like I wouldn't
be surprised if he...
Started hacking away at his

Maybe I know something

What is that a threat?
Or is the threat coming now?
About what you did to Kara.
To all those girls.
I heard those rumors
on campus too. Okay?
They're not true.
I know.
Kara called me!
Too drunk to do more than
mumble in the fucking phone.
Her dress torn-
You don't know!
Okay? And you'll keep
your fucking mouth shut!
Cause you're a coward.
Cowards can't even kill themselves
when maybe they should.
They try but they're
just too afraid.
My father hit a lot harder.
You're gonna have to
do better than that.
The Altai tell
us Kara, out there,
she can't find peace
in the afterlife.
Some people, they can't
find it in this life.
Never gonna be at peace.
They're just hanging around,
haunting the fuck out

releases that too?
Right.
What do you mean, hate?
For Kara.
We call it "Kyuryum"
but you may have a

So the ceremony
created an evil...
(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)
It can not create.
It can only take the bad that

confess to killing Kara.
What if this

gonna have to take matters

I've got to get to
Eric! He doesn't know!
No, you stay!
How long will it take?
Two minutes.
Five.
If all of us are tied up,
Piotr can find out which
one of us turns and then...
Kill one of us?
You're just gonna tie us up
and then kill one of us?!
Not kill. Stop!
It gives the person who
killed Kara more time to...
Admit what they did and
to perform the ceremony.

What if Piotr, here,
thinks that we are all in
on Kara's murder?
What if he is tying us up
so he can kill all of us?
What if that's the
reason why we're here?
What if that's the
reason why there are
fucking graves out

You can't make decisions
based on paranoia!
We should base them on
your superstitious bullshit?
If you're wrong, we all die!
But if you're wrong,
we still die, right?
I'm not wrong, goddammit!
You were all there the
night that Kara was murdered.
So now you think
it was one of us too?
I don't know what to think!
Peter was the one who performed
this fucked-up ceremony
that possessed Dan, right?
If you believe that.
I don't believe it!
But let's just say it's true.
Afterwards, Dan
tried to kill you.
And Sandra.
And now Dan's dead.
And you want to trust Peter?
Over your own fucking friends?
My friends?
What do you mean, Brandon's
friends or Kara's friends?
But what if that's
not what you are?
We tie now!
Shut
the fuck
up!
They are strangers to us!
Who is gonna let a

So we could all be tied up
and the only one who's loose
is the one who's possessed,
is that right?

Man with gun running things.
Understand?
Understand?
Yes.
Yeah.
Say!
I understand!
(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
What did he say?
He told me to protect myself.
Do I have permission
to get some air?
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Okay, I wanted to show you
before I showed anyone else.
Ready? No, don't peek.
(LAUGHING)
Okay, you can look.
I just um...
I never want to lose her.
That's what you do when
you love someone, right?
(LAUGHING)
I'm asking Kara tomorrow.
(LAUGHING)
(SOMBER MUSIC)
They're bringing out the cake.
(CHEERING)
Guys, guys, guys,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Kara, in honor of your birthday,
I wrote a small speech.
And it's from the heart.
Let's fucking party like
there's no tomorrow.
(CHEERING)
(EXCITING PARTY MUSIC)
(MUFFLED PARTY MUSIC)
(KARA CRYING)
Is Brandon in there?
No, just Kara and...
KARA: I get to decide what I want.
I'm with Brandon now.
You need to leave me alone.
MIKE: Kara!
KARA: Right now!
(KARA CRYING)
Rez doesn't give up, does he?
KARA: I don't want it!
No, I guess not.
KARA: Just leave me alone!
(GLASS SHATTERING)
MIKE: Kara!
I'm gonna go tell Brandon.
No, Alice, you know how he gets.
Alice!
Alice, you'd better come.
I'm afraid Mike's gonna
try to rush Sergei.
Try to get his gun.
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
Your friend Peter,
he's a fraud, isn't he?
Of course he is.
My friend?
What do you want to call him?
I think to us that word means
something different
than to all of you.
Whatever the fuck
you wanna call him,
this ceremony, chanting,
this demon, it's all
just a bunch of fucking...
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You did see
Kara's Itterma doll
levitate, didn't you?
Yeah, we all did.
And I also saw
a woman sawed in half at
a magic show in Las Vegas.
The Altai call it Dyula.
It's a sickly soul.
Yeah, you have some
experience with that?
Now by the time
you all figure out
what you're dealing with
here, it's gonna be too late.
Is that what you think, Sergei?
It's gonna be too late for us?
Mike?
Mike?
Don't.
Don't what?
I think she's trying to tell
you not to get yourself shot.
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
(ELECTRIC BUZZING)
(MENACING MUSIC)
All we have to do is figure out
which one of us
killed Kara, right?
Well, I can tell you that.
Who?
Well, don't look so
nervous, professor.
I think you're a fucking bastard
but I don't think you did it.
Well, let's hear it then. Who?
Your brother.
Brandon.
Because he was the
only who was convicted
by a jury of his peers.
And he's rotting for
it in prison right now
while Kara's rotting out
in their fucking woods.
Brandon didn't.
Of course he did, Alice.
Okay, we get it.
Growing up, all you
had was each other
but sometimes the
people we love,
they do horrible fucking shit.
(ELECTRICAL BUZZING)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
I did tell you you
not to tell Brandon
about the argument we overheard.
We all knew what he was
like when he was jealous.
I told Brandon because Rez
was fucking terrifying her.
I was the last person
that she was afraid of.
And I wasn't even in the
room with her that night.
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
I was.
Helen told me Brandon
was gonna propose.
I told Kara to say no.
Maybe that's why she's dead.
Because she did.
But I saw blood on Rez's hands.
That's because Brandon
punched me so hard
that he broke my nose.
Don't you think that an
insane jealousy like that
can drive someone to murder?
So stop blaming everyone
else for what happened.
Kara is dead because
of your brother
and because of the
decisions that you made.
You and Rez just want
Brandon to be guilty
because you're both
in love with Kara
and she didn't choose
either one of you.
No, she didn't choose us!
And look where the
fuck that got her!
Jesus.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Okay, you can
stop this whole lie
and just tell us why
the fuck we're here.
Do you think this world
is only what you can see?
As children, Kara wanted
to travel the world
and Piotr went to study
from our best shamans
to understand the world
that we cannot see.
So when Piotr tell me
that kyuryum, the demon,
is inside one of you,
it's as real to me as this gun.
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
Sergei, they don't
understand this culture.
But you do.
You do.
With your field research?
You understand our grief?
You understand what makes
our mountain roads slippery?
I don't...
Piotr's parents car?
It never turned.
It drove straight off
the mountain cliff.
So whichever one of you
put the knife in Kara,
you killed them too.
(THUDDING)
You win.
No rope.
Everyone free.
Now your friend dead.
How?
Eric.
Eric killed Tony.
Alice,
Alice, find out which one of
these bastards killed Kara.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Car dead.
You destroyed our
only way out of here?
You believe now?
Or need...
Proof?
Oh, fuck.
(GASPING)
What Eric do to your friend!
(CRYING)
(EERIE MUSIC)
(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)
Kyuryum, the demon is
taunting us with a message.
You mean the burns on the
floor from Kara's Itterma doll?
Yeah, and with the writing...
In blood.
It wants to be released.
It's trying to get out into
the city, into the country.
To world.
To keep killing.
(BANGING)
Sergei, Sandra.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
You need to go.
Okay.
Get to the bottom
of the mountain.
Get to people.
Okay, so it's one of us?
Anyone want to
make a confession?
Anybody?
No? Okay, so then what do we do?
Do we draw straws to figure out
which one of us we kill first?
Rez.
No!
We kill somebody,
we save Eric, right?
We take a life, we save a life.
And we know that
Eric didn't do it.
How about you first
professor? You're deserving.
Maybe it should be you.
You don't want to
be here anyway.
How many times you try suicide?
Not enough, obviously.
Maybe you're just
not good at it.
A failure at even that.
Yeah, fuck yeah. That's it.
That's you.
That's the real you.
Now we're having a conversation.
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
(GASPING)
No one can leave.
Piotr said.
He said that
the person who's possessed
won't try to kill
Kara's murderer.
But Dan tried to
kill Alice and me.
So you know, you know I
didn't do it, don't you?
Look, Eric will probably
be dead before I find help,
but I can't live with
myself if I don't try.
So if you're gonna shoot me,
you can put a bullet in my back.
(MENACING MUSIC)
Why do you go to a party
with a bunch of
twenty year-old's? Hm?
And why are you here?
Kara was my student.
She was my best student.
And she was my friend.
Like the rest of you.
Her trusted mentor.
And you just loved
her beautiful culture.
Look, we have to focus.
There's a killer out there.
There's a killer in here too.
(SOBBING)
Oh God.
(HELEN WHIMPERING)
We start falling apart,
we're not gonna make it.
HELEN: I'm so fucking exhausted.
Okay, this needs
to be the focus.
Here.
Which one of us
really killed Kara?
(HELEN SOBBING)
You fuck.
(GLASS SHATTERING)
(INTENSE MUSIC)
(GLASS SHATTERING)
Stay close together.
(GLASS SHATTERING)
(DISTANT GLASS SHATTERING)
Why is he breaking windows?
He's trying to confuse us.
To divide us.
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(GASPING)
He stopped.
Where's Piotr?
And Sandra?
I don't know.
We need weapons.
Everyone grab something.
An ax, a hammer,
a fucking shovel.
A hammer and a fucking shovel.
Stop. Mike, just stop!
(REZ GIGGLING)
What the fuck are
you laughing at, Rez?
Sergei's got a gun.
REZ: And we shoot Eric?
You're goddam
right we shoot Eric.
REZ: And who's possessed
next after we shoot Eric?
MIKE: He's right.
If we shoot kill Eric,
another one of us turns.
We gotta, we gotta
fucking catch him.
ALICE: How're we supposed to do that?
REZ: Why don't we dig
a hols in the middle
of the fucking room,
cover it with sticks?
(GROANING)

(INTENSE MUSIC)
Go! Go! Go!
(DOOR SLAMMING)

Oh fuck.
Coffins.
There's eight of them.
One for each of us.
(HELEN SOBBING)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Give me the gun.
No. I don't think so.
I gotta find the girls, Rez!
Give him the fucking gun!
I don't think so.
(HELEN CRYING)
(ALICE SHUSHING)
Please be quiet.
Please, please, please.
I think that's me.
These are the dolls that
they're gonna bury with Kara.
It's Mike.
That's me.
Wait, look at the clothes.
This is what I wore
the night Kara died.
What we all wore.
That's what we're gonna be soon.
Lifeless.
Dead eyes.
(SCREAMING)
Stop screaming!
Stop screaming!

It's okay.
Please!

(SCREAMING)
(SQUELCHING)
(CRYING)
(THUDDING)
Choices have to be made.
ALICE: What do you mean choices?
Or we're all gonna die.
Don't you do
something stupid, Rez.
Yeah, like what?
Punch someone?
Slap someone?
Shoot someone?
You know, a few days
before Kara died,
she called me to come
pick her up at this house.
Couldn't even walk.
Dress torn.
Someone had slipped
something into her drink
and she just managed
to get out of there.
And she asked my advice.
"Um, should I uninvite this
person to my birthday party?
"Should I press charges?
"Should I file a report?"
Now you,
you would probably want to
stop something like that
from happening,
wouldn't you, professor?
What did you do?
Nothing.
Did you kill Kara?
No!
You see, the thing is
that not all secrets
go to the grave.
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
(EERIE MUSIC)
(MENACING MUSIC)
Okay. Okay.
Oh, jeez.
Okay.
Okay.
There were plenty of girls.
Plenty of girls who
woke up in your bed,
not remembering what happened,
weren't there, professor?
Is that true?
He's fucking crazy!
Look at his wrists!
Yeah, look!
Look what I did to myself!
Look!
But it's not me who is sick.
It is you! It is you!
It is people like you!
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
I didn't kill Kara.
Maybe you did.
Maybe you didn't.
You did enough though.
(GIRLS GASPING)
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
(THUDDING)
Give me the gun Rez!
(DOOR THUDDING)
No, no, no, no!
This does not end unless
we end it here and now.
(THUDDING)
JEFF: Shoot the fucking door!
Stop!
The person on the
other side of that door
is just paying the price for
what one of us did, right?
(DOOR THUDDING)
Shoot the goddam door!
What do you think?
Shoot the door?
Shoot the door
or someone else?
No, no, no, Rez.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Or maybe I shoot myself?
Yeah.
Yeah. It's what you want!
What the fuck are
you talking about?!
Pull the trigger.
Just pull the trigger man!
(MENACING MUSIC)
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, Kara's sending a message.
(LAUGHING)
Rez, you listen to me,
before you get us all killed.
Don't you wanna be free?
Shut the fuck up, Jeff!
Rez?
Kara's spoken.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
No!
(GUNSHOT BOOMING)
(SCREAMING)

Don't do it.

We need to shoot Alice.
Helen, no.
It's Alice, Helen.
She's the one that killed Kara.
He's lying.
She's the only one left.
My brother is in
jail for Kara's murder
and you know how
much I loved him,
that I would do
anything for him.
She's trying to manipulate you.
You saw Eric try
and kill both of us!
I can't be Kara's murderer!
Stop! All of you!
Goddam it, you fucking bitch!
(SCREAMING)
Mike, stop or I'll shoot you!
Helen, you shoot me,
you turn into the demon.
You get that?
There's no fucking time!
Helen,
Helen, if Mike
couldn't be with Kara,
he didn't want
anyone else to be.
You know that.
You know it. You know it.
Trust me.
You know it.
Baby, it's me.
All I wanted was to be with you!
