The Hatred (2017)
News of the world.
News flash, liberated Germany. After the collapse of Hitler's Nazi forces, an army of over ten million soldiers has been decimated. Stories of Nazi deserters heading for safer shores are abundant. They have reportedly being seeking safe havens in south America, South Africa, and even some right here in the land of the free. The department of justice claims the rumors are exaggerated. But, does suspect several thousand Nazi soldiers and blend into neighborhoods and cities across the country. Did you finish the fence at the west end? Almost. It would be nice to let the horses graze, really. It would be nice for all of us to get out for once. We shall see. I was thinking... Alice! Chew your food before your speak. I was thinking maybe i could go into town this afternoon. I'll finish all my work first, of course. You know how you are at your chores, Alice. You need your rest. Papa, you're suffocating me. When you were young, didn't you just wanna go out and be with your friends? It was a very difficult time when I was young, Alice. I lost everything I owned. We suffered through a period the world will never understand. Your entire generation cannot possibly comprehend. No. It is best you be protected from... The ways of this world. Keep to your own kind. Your family. Papa, I just want to go to town. Town is no place for a young girl. May I be excused? Excuse me. My friend, His wish was that you have this as a token of his appreciation for all the work you have done. In securing this highest, most prized possessions, this precious artifact was the fuhrer 's most beloved. Protect this. Yours, es. Samuel! I need you for a moment. Yes! I'm coming. This is my secret spot. No one else knows about this spot but me. Wait, how come I never see you in town, just here. I don't know. Lots of work to be done, i guess... But, it doesn't really matter. I mean, everyone knows about every spot in town. No one knows about this spot, but me. So, I feel like it balances out. But, what makes this spot so special? I have a theory, that there is an Indian chief buried under this tree somewhere. And his child used to march around the woods, and he told me that he wants to me to take care of her. So, I do. It's as if I'm this tree's keeper. Let's go on home. What did I say, Alice? Alice! You're not welcome here, boy. Run. You know he's always been very protective. And that takes time to change. I'm not asking for much. All the other kids do it, why do I have to be different? She is confined to this house. She will not be permitted to step off this property. Samuel, she's already home-schooled. She needs to be social. We have enough social activity in this house, with you being a school mistress. I will have no more of her rebellion. You will remain in this house, young lady. Samuel, it is a shame to cut her off from the outside world. She's growing up, she needs to learn. She needs to be self reliant. Degenerate influences, Miriam. Not my daughter. I will not have this of my child. Your child is intelligent and kind. Your child will someday be out in the world. Don't you see who she is? Don't you see who she's become? What is this "become"? She is my daughter. And that is what she will always be. No one enters this house. Samuel! There are chores to be done, young lady. Papa. What do you want from me? You have work here, Alice. Am I to become an old maid cleaning up after you? Alice. What do you know of the world? You're just a child. How would I know? I feel like one of the animals on the shelf in the basement. Ungrateful... Insolent child. Do you not see how i provide for you? I have toiled, and struggled so that you and your mother would want of nothing. What? It's never about what I want. I'm not a child. I'm growing up whether you like it or not. Don't argue with me, Alice. Someday... I'll be a wife... A mother, away from this place. And away from you. And there's nothing you can do to stop me! Don't touch me! Stop! Stop! Stop! Miriam. Tom. You know, it's not like her. Hang on, now, Miriam. We must not let our imagination get away with us. You said earlier that... She's only been gone for a few hours. But, Alice never wanders off without telling me first. Samuel. Sheriff. What do you make of all of this? Any reason Alice just wandered off? No. She was upset this morning at breakfast. She was upset, about what? Was it an argument? No, these are family matters. We disagree sometimes, nothing more. You know kids. They don't just take off. Let's stop this chase now. My daughter would never run away from me, tom. Please. Find her. Is there something i should be worried about here? Now, I know how your people have your ways about you, then you'll be welcome into this community. But, we have our ways too. Now everybody deserves a fresh start. Within reason. What is the saying, sheriff? "Glass houses". Do you think you have the moral authority. We all have dark chapters in our history. What makes you think you are better than me. I'm just trying to find a missing girl here. Judgment will come from others. Get lost. Come again. Have we finished here? We'll be in touch, if anything comes up. Let just hope that she's okay. A-ha, lookie here. I'm so excited. Yeah! I can't believe we're here! I know. Here we go. I'm in the mood for a vanilla scone and a skinny latte. I could use a cocktail after that ride. I doubt this place even sells mimosas. Can I just ask you, Regan, are you really gonna leave the city and move here? I have known Walter and Beth for as long as I can remember. My dad and Walter are fraternity brothers, and I helped raise that girl. They are like family to me. I don't know, I kind of have to agree with layan, moving from the city to all this is quite the culture shock. You know you'll wanna visit every weekend. Right. I prefer farm boys to frat boys. Oh, it's Walter. Give me a moment. Well, maybe we could invite a couple of them over the weekend. You'll love this place, Regan. you'll be up and running in no time. Hey, honey, it's Regan. Hi, Beth! I'm looking forward to seeing you and Walter. We're so pleased that you and the girls are gonna be our first guests. We couldn't have you stay at a b&b. And Irene's so excited to see you, she's put names on all the rooms. Oh, that is so cute. We hired a housekeeper to get everything ready for you. She did get the place in order with new bedsheets. You did not have to go through all that for us. I'm sorry we can't be here to greet you. Oh stop it. The museum opening is far more important. We'll see you when you get back. You remember Virgil. Virgil? What are you doing there? Oh, you know he always needs an extra hand. By the way, congratulations on the new job. Thank you. Will I see you? It's possible, I got to go. Okay, Virgil, we'll talk when I get back. Speaking of Irene, she's with edna, the new tutor in town. I'll forward you her number. She doesn't text. But you can call her when you get in. She plans on dropping her off. Oh, got it. I look forward to seeing you and Beth. One last thing. The weather report calls for thunderstorms tonight. I asked Virgil to close some of the shutters in case of broken branches. Other than that, Beth's left enough food for you for a week. Give the girls my best. I will do. Take care. See you Monday. Hm, where did our little farm girl run off to? I hope this is not an indication of how this weekend is going to go. Oh, give her her a break. Come on, layan, chill. Caffeine is definitely not your friend. Well, since they didn't have vodka, caffeine will just have to do. Meanwhile, back at the ranch... Sorry. Walter wanted to go over a few last minute details. Everything's good? Yeah, we're good. Great, then let's make this weekend into a memory. I'm all about that, girl. It is our little getaway. It's Jules. Oh, she's a tough cookie. I 'm gonna be heading there in about 20 minutes. No, she's gonna be fine. If you were here, what could you possibly do anyways? Besides, she said that she didn't want you to give up that weekend. Okay, call me when you get there, I should be home by then. Okay, I love you. I love you too. Farmboys! God, I love plaid. Oh, look at the mountains. - Gorgeous. - Beautiful. Go ahead, ladies. Quick. Let's go. Oh, my goodness. Aww, look at this. Wow. Wow, could you imagine if we lived here? Yes, we do now! Look at this place. Wow! Ooh... - This is nice. - This is great. Hey, b! Let's go find some wine. Vino? Yes. You feel right at home, don't you? Look at all this. Mm. Oh, my god. This looks like an 11th century viking death mask. I'm in heaven. Only you would see as Halloween mask, and think it was some kind of treasure. Boo! Hey, ladies, come on. Let's toast to this weekend. Thank you guys for coming. And for being like sisters to me. We love you and your grandmother. There's no keeping that broad down. Well, we're really lucky we've had her in our lives. You know we feel the same. I will never ever be able to repay her for shielding us from the bitterness between my parents. God, I mean, going away to college, that was like, the hardest thing ever. She's always been my safety net. Well, to the old broad. Wish she be up and atom in no time. Thank you. Oh, my god. I forgot to call Irene's tutor. It must be them. Please! Clean this up. I don't want them thinking we're boozing this early. Good afternoon. I believe that Walter informed you that I would be delivering Irene. Um, yes, hello, you must be edna. I'm Regan. Irene, oh my gosh! I cannot believe it. You have grown into a little woman. Oh, sorry! This is betaine, and Samantha, and layan. My friends from college. Won't you come in? We're due for a storm this evening. Yes, Walter informed us of that. Thank you. This house is... We are so excited for this weekend. I hope you are too. Why don't you show us the rooms? That was my plan. I put names on the doors. That's where you girls sleep. Come on, Regan, follow me. Regan! Oh... Yep, this is my room. You sleep down the hall. I saved that one for you. Oh. This is a lovely room. Thank you. What is this? It is a monitor in case I need you. One in the den, and one in the kitchen. You can hear if I call you. Hello? Irene? Hello? Irene? No, you silly. You just hear downstairs. Come on. Hey! How do you like your room, layan? I love it. Hey, I gotta go call Jules. Gotta check on my grandma. Okay, I gotta get my bag. I can help you unpack. Deal! But first, let's see my room. Whose room is that? The room with the dirty door? No one's. Please, let's look at my room. Hey, Jules. How's she doing? Ah, she just finished eating. They're gonna be doing some more tests later Do me a favor, put the phone next to her, so I can speak to her. Yeah, hold on. Gram, it's Regan. Oh... Hi, honey. Grandma, how are you? Oh, I am fine. A little fall can't take me away from you. I wish I was there. No, no, you stop that. You go get that job. I know how much that means to you. I'll come visit when I get out of here. Mm, I can't wait. Oh, the doctor's here again. At least he's a cute one. Bye, honey. Bye, gram. Keep me informed. I love you. Yes. What are you doing here? You shouldn't be in here. It was open. I just walked in. This is... Alice's room. Who is Alice? Did your father tell you not to come in here? No. Then who? Alice told me. Layan, did you leave the water running in the shower? Well, it was still running when I went in there. Well, it's a good thing you caught it then. This is going to be lovely. My favorite people in the world and now I get to add a new name to that list. What can I do to help? The napkins are in the cabinet on the left. And there are paper plates in there as well. Let's see... Oh, Irene! What did your mother do? She told me not to tell. Chocolate covered strawberries. And wine... Your mother sure knows us. She's a keeper. Okay, let's get this packed. Wait until you see the horses. My dad says, when I grow up, I can ride them by myself. Oh my god, did you say horses? I love horses! This is perfect! Yeah, except the storm coming. Let's enjoy. It won't be here till tonight. Wine? Yes, please. Betaine? Yes. Wine? Oh, my gosh! It has not been that long. The way you act around him, it sure looks like it has. I'm molding him and he's coming along quite nicely. Don't be too sure, a tiger doesn't lose its stripes that easily. I'm sure it did. Okay, I figure two years, we move to lake George we have twins, runs in his family, and then I take real estate and a good house. How does Paul feel about that? What about this all-girls weekend, is he all about that? I know what's best for Paul. I'm sure you do. No! Help! Stay here, Irene! Stay here! No! Samantha! You okay? What happened? You still think I'm making this up? Not all of it, honey, but some of it sounds a little... You don't think i did this to myself? We're just glad that you're okay. I'm going to go take a warm shower. Try to calm my nerves. Sounds like a good idea. What? What do you think about your new place? It's a great house. I miss my old school. You'll make new friends. I don't want new friends. When I went away to college, I was really scared to leave grandmother and Jules, 'cause, I thought i might not every make any new friends. But, then I found the girls, and I didn't feel so alone anymore. Are you scared of being alone? It's something that I am working on. What do you think happened in the barn? Alice. Alice? Who's Alice? Go on, tell me. Don't worry, sweetheart. She's doing just fine. You know I was thinking, that since our picnic got cut short, and the weather's turning, maybe we could find a game to play? Would that be okay with you? Okay? You have any games in your room? Yeah. Why don't you go grab one? How's Samantha? Oh, she's a bit on edge. But, when isn't she? That was crazy. I don't know what to do. Well, cheer up. I'm good at that. Hm... What happened with Irene? I don't know. She mentioned someone named Alice, and kept really quiet. Says here she flatlined six minutes ago. No alarm? I'm going to check the EKG and get a reading for the past three hours. Do not leave her. Wait, I'm really sure that was November. No, it couldn't have been November, because foster hole was closed in October and I remember this because Paul and I went to that costume party. Hm, November, October, it's all a blur to me. Her tuition went to good use? Hey, as long as I pass, i get the same diploma you get. Will you play with us? Not right now, sweetie. I will, what do you wanna play? Hide and seek. It sounds like fun. Let's do it. Come on. Go hide with me. Regan... You're it. Okay, fine. No peeking. I'll try. Come on, this is gonna be fun. After this, we can have a bottle of wine, and just relax. Whoa, what kind of kinky stuff is Walter into? Forty-eight... Forty-nine... Fifty! Ready or not, here I come! Okay, that is just wrong. What was that? Probably just a rat coming to visit its dead relatives. The gang's all here. What does that say? "In death, we are free." Oh come on, that is creepy. What's all this? I think I just found Walter's diary. I'm not reading that. Give me a hand with this. Wow! Was that you? You're hearing things. Regan. Hey, I'm done with this. 65, sears street. Please hurry. Irene, what are you doing? Is something wrong? Who were you talking to? Okay, all right. Come on, let's go downstairs. Come on. You sure you're okay? No, I can tell that something's making you... Uneasy. You know you can talk to me about it. This is a bad place. You mean you don't like living here? Oh, you haven't even given it a chance yet. Look, I'll be here all weekend. I know it's gonna take some time, but, I think that is enough fun and games Hey, did you rattle the door beneath the stairwell? It's probably layan. Where are Samantha and layan? Speak of the devils... No one bothered to come looking for us. What is that? Oh, we found crazy stuff. There are some fascinating artifacts in that basement. I don't think Walter knows what he has down there. For instance? Just, interesting to say the least. You know what? This can wait. Who could that be? Hey! Don't let anyone in. Irene! Oh my god! Irene, do not answer that door! Irene, do not answer that-- pizza? We did not order pizza. I did. Irene, you could be the death of me. Just wait until you have kids. Yeah, right. Thank you. What a creep! It scared us out! Let's have pizza! I mean, studying things that happened centuries ago? I mean there is a reason they call it ancient history. What's wrong with history? I find it fascinating. Delving into the lives and stories of past figures and events who shaped us into who we are today. Leaders and explorers who weren't afraid to wander out on their own and place a new trail. That excites me. I'm learning more about you everyday. Our little wonder. And there is some serious history to this house. Where did Walter find this place? The sale was up for closure, he got it for a steal. So? What did you find? Well, we found an old crate, with an inscription on the outside in German. It reads, "in death, we are free." Ah, no, thank you. We did not open it, but, there were all these books and papers from world war ii and the 1950s and 60s. We even found this book. Zigfreid zauer? Maybe the person who owned the book. And is this really how we're gonna spend the night? I thought we were getting away from school. Look at this, this looks like student tests. The family could have been pack rats. No, but if you look at them, all the names are different and they have grades on them. Whoever lived here, could have been a teacher? I think it is time for our little Princess to go to sleep. What do you think? I'm tired. Let's leave this for a moment, okay? I think it is only fitting that we all tuck you in tonight? My mom used to tell me that it's just angels blowing. Come on, let's get ready for bed. Brush your teeth. You're excited for your first night in your big, new house? What is that smell? I don't know, it's not poop. Well, it's wedged shut. That is awful. I have never smelt anything like that before. It's this old house. Let me see those pearly whites. Nice. Now off to bed. Come on, little monkey. Goodnight. Goodnight, angel. Goodnight. Goodnight, kiddo. We'll be downstairs if you need us. Regan? Yeah? Go ahead, I'll be right down. What is it? Irene, what's bothering you? Is it that Alice person? It is, isn't it? Who is she? I can't tell you. I can't help you if you don't tell me. Do you like children? Of course. I think you'll be a really good mother. Only if I have a daughter like you. Now, get some sleep, and in the morning, we'll have a pancake breakfast, hm? Goodnight. Goodnight, Regan. Sweet dreams. This is Alice's room. Who was Alice? What are you guys doing in here? I think Walter wanted us to avoid this room. I mean, look at this place. Lost in time. We should not be in here. Shut the hell up. What? This man is the same man that's in the Nazi pictures downstairs. You're right, we shouldn't be in here. Let me go check on Irene. I know she's fine. You know, I'm actually just gonna call Paul and then probably call it a night. So... I'll keep an eye on her. Okay, you're the best. Thanks! No problem. Goodnight. I was right. It's the same guy. He's a Nazi? Yeah, a Nazi lived right in this house. Put some paper under her before she has an accident. Hitler was obsessed with the occult. Walter's done a lot of research on the subject. This must be the daughter. I'll bet this is Alice. This letter is addressed to zigfried. What's that picture? I believe this is an amulet. You see the French lettering on the bottom? This was probably confiscated by the Nazis. I know this. And you know this because? The French people of oradour-sur-glane village. and all of their relics were taken by the Nazis. I believe it is called oradour-sur-glane. Look at this. Our boy, zigfreid just wasn't any Nazi. So you're saying there's a connection between the people who lived in this house and Hitler. Spooky stuff, girls. I'll see if I can find any more details online. Grab that box, Regan. Can you hold this? Well, this should be fun. Hello, babe. How's it going? It's good, we're just relaxing. The girls are still awake. Did you feed the cat? Yes, I fed the cat. Why do you say it like that? You got me that cat. So what are you wearing? Oh, we're not doing this. I'm not telling you. Oh, come on. You don't deserve it. You know I'm alone here. Hm, and you wish I was there with you, don't you? You know it, babe. Well... I've got on that little black tank top, the one that you like, yeah... And I've got these itty-bitty panties, they don't leave much to the imagination. Oh, but it's not all one-sided, you've got to tell me what you've got on. Did you hear that? Hear what? Must be on your end. No, it's not my connection. It's your signal. Someone else is talking. Paul. Paul. What? Okay, here it is. The amulet was from France. It was originally possessed by the templar knights. It was believed that the amulet would remove any fear or hatred. From whoever is wearing it. Therefore removing any hesitation in battle? But it is also believed that the object would retain all of that hate, fear, bearing heavy consequences to anyone who encounters it. Is this like black magic or something? No, think about it. A physical manifestation of pure hatred whether you believe it or not, it's a powerful symbol. Hatred? Trapped in an amulet. This is a myth, right? She may be smoking something? Did you guys light up without me? What is the connection? The amulet was sent here to zigfreid via Brazil. But, all those papers say Samuel sears. Look him up. Look, it's zigfreid. Originally from Berlin, Germany, Samuel sears, of franklovo parish, died on Thursday due to exposure to chemicals. He must have changed his name to Samuel sears. He is survived by the sole remaining family member, his wife, Miriam sears. She probably buried him in the backyard. Miriam sears. A grade school teacher at treemon elementary. Wife of Samuel sears. Oh, that explains the test papers. Look, this one's from 1968. Oh, Alice sears. Daughter of Samuel and Miriam sears was reported missing over the weekend. Police have released an all-points bulletin to include the neighboring counties. I mean, who wouldn't run away from a dad like that? Oh, here's another one. Miriam sears, tremont village, husband Samuel sears, born in Berlin, blah, blah, blah... Nothing about Alice. How could that be? She was their only child. There's nothing here about her. Disappeared without a trace? There's something wrong with this computer. Oh, my god, that was so weird. The camera just turned on, and someone texted me. It's probably just Walter checking in on us. Put up some porno and make him really wonder. Yeah, you're probably right. God, I need a glass of wine. Oh, yes, please. Yeah, I like that idea. Let's go. Samuel sent Alice away. Where? I don't know, reform school? You're becoming obsessed with this Alice. You're becoming Samantha. Hit images. Oh, that is a disturbing picture. An old man in a gas mask? I'd be more concerned as to why he's wearing it than the look of him. And where are you going with this? What does this have to do with being in this house? And why would he keep the room up there in that condition? He is an ethno-archaeologist. There must be something in that room that convinced him to. An ethno what? Big words. Hey, at least I speak French. All right, while you guys keep making up stories, but I think it is time for bed. Yeah, layan is right. I'm gonna snuggle up and read myself to sleep. Thank goodness, someone else is on the sanity train. Yeah, I could use some sleep too. Wait, what's that? That's Irene's room. Oh, my god! What is that? Turn on the light. How did they get in? Layan, go get some towels. This is not good. You find this creepy? There's a leak inside, a storm outside, and it happens to any old house. What about the dead bird? Well... I got this. You're okay? I'm fine. We'll all go to bed. I have a book that needs reading. It's either that or Xanax. Now that's the best idea of the night. Goodnight, guys. Still watch TV while you read? How do you think i got through college? The fuhrer, Adolf Hitler, is momentarily in Paris, by the Eiffel Tower... Cut it out, guys, I'm trying to sleep. I'm done with this. I'm leaving. Irene? Irene? Irene, what are you doing? Are you okay? Are you looking for me? What? Why did you come looking for me? No. Regan! Regan! Hold on, Irene! Regan! Hold on, I got to get a flashlight. Hold on. Regan! I'm coming! Irene. Just a second. Regan! Irene. Why do you have this open? You'll freeze to death. I thought I saw someone. There's nobody outside. I want mommy. Irene, I'm here. I'm scared. They won't be back until Monday. It's just thunder and lightning. You go back to sleep. I hear noises. There's nothing to be afraid of. You know I won't let anything happen to you. What is it? You see? It's nothing. It's just your imagination. There's nothing under the bed. Please. You have to look under the bed. There's nothing there. No. Please. Please. Look. Will it make you feel better if I look under the bed? And you'll go back to sleep? Okay, promise me. Promise. That's not me. Come on! Let's go! Let's go, let's go! What did you see? I'm scared. I don't wanna be here. I know. I don't know what's going on. I do. Bad things happen in this house. Irene? I'm scared. Come on, come on, come on. Betaine, wake up. Betaine... That's Alice my god! The amulet! Thrives and becomes more powerful when encountered with abject fear. Must be in this house. Alice. Listen to me, Irene. Whatever that thing is, it is feeding on your fear. Becoming your worst nightmare. Irene, Irene, you need to face your fear. You, we, cannot let the fear and hatred consume us. I don't understand. Alice. She is just a lost girl. Okay? We need to get you out of here. Stay by me. Irene! Irene, no! Irene! Regan! Irene, come on, come on. Regan... Go, go! Daddy's car. Why is daddy's car still here? I need you to stand back. Why, Regan? Just listen to me. What? What is it? No. No. We need to leave, Irene, leave! Irene... We have to be brave. That is the only way we are going to make it out of this house. I will not let anything happen to you. Okay? Listen to me, we're gonna go back through the house. We're gonna go in the kitchen, and we're gonna out through the doggy door. Stay behind me, okay? And do not look back. Okay. Irene, now! Come on, go, go, go. Ow! Irene, go around, just relax! Come on, Regan! Come on. Irene, go out the doggy door. Go! Regan, come on! Go out the doggy door, go now! Regan... Regan... Regan! Come on! Irene! Irene, run! I can't run! Go, baby! No! No! Regan... No one is allowed in this house. Papa would be very angry. He's coming. Are you looking for me? Irene! Come here. Look at me. What are you doing out here? Come on. Let's get you to the house. Let's go. Where are you leading me? The amulet. Why didn't anyone come looking for me? Nobody came looking for you? Alice. Just stay right here. I'll be right back, okay? What the hell? You just wanted somebody to find you. You're not alone anymore. Hello? Regan. Regan! Regan, what's going on? Virgil. I just found Irene out on the road. Irene? Where is she? She's fine, she's in the truck. I have to see her. We need to go. Regan, who is that upstairs? Virgil! Listen to me! We got to go! This house is too kind for me. What the hell is going on here? Virgil, no! Virgil! No! Irene! Regan! Oh my god! What happened in there? Are you okay? I'm okay. You were right. Bad things happen in that house. What about Virgil? Irene, we got to get away from here. And Alice? She will not bother you anymore. It's you and me. |
