Black Door, The (2001)

[bunniefuu]

Hi, I'm not here now, leave a message after the beep and I'll call you.

Hi there. I am Meg. Are you there?

�Oye?

Will you call me as soon as you hear the message?

It's about Steven.

I don't know what happened to him, but he's not okay.

I know it will sound strange to you, but he says you have to film him.

I don't know. Call me, okay? Goodbye

You have to film this. Don't miss anything.

Do not stop filming it, it is the proof.

f*ck him, I saw him. I was there.

It was dark, but I saw him. I don't know how, but it's there.

Look what he did to me.

I'm not lying or crazy. It's all in the movie.

THE BLACK DOOR

STEVEN'S BRIDE - MEG

I don't know how to tell it.

I don't know where to start.

Steven was admitted yesterday. The police said they had assaulted him.

He went to a house, in the suburbs. To find something for the thesis.

And there they attacked him.

He had told her not to go. But he didn't listen to me.

Now he no longer speaks to me.

Steven studies at Stanford. We met there.

We will get married next year

But he did not explain to me how he got into this situation.

It is a thesis on commercial exchange.

between the United States and Mexico in the late 1920s.

It is not a very dangerous subject.

THE DOCTOR

What state is Steven in?

It presents the usual symptoms of victims of as*ault.

A serious state of shock, bruises ...

They are very frequent cases.

Except for those scratches on it.

We don't know what attacked him. By the way it could be a man.

I could, but ... They're deep cuts.

Several, such as those on the back, are infected.

I don't see a man doing that.

The nails will break. Maybe a huge dog or a feline.

The police say it happened in a house.

But he is no longer in danger.

The cuts are deep, but he is young and healthy, he will come out ahead.

-It was a wonderful time. -Yes.

-Cowboy dress. -He always liked it a lot.

Yes. I was about thirteen here.

He was a kid. Here with six months ...

STEVEN'S MOTHER - LUC AND H.

I guess my favorite is the one we have from graduation.

It was a very happy day. He is a very talented student.

He graduated with excellent grades and then he obtained a master's degree.

We are so proud of him ...

When he came back from San Francisco, he was so into his research ...

that we don't even see his hair.

I've spent more time with the photos than with Steven.

STEVEN'S FATHER - PATRICK H.

When he was very young, he was already captivated by history.

He looked for the old houses in the neighborhood, imagining who had lived in them.

What kind of people will hang out now.

I warned him.

They are the things that you have gathered since you started that job.

It's about this man: Antonio Fuentes Balmaseda.

I don't know how he found out about it. I don't know.

But he has always been very interested in Mexican history.

We were even thinking of going there on our honeymoon.

We may now choose another site.

What caught Steven's interest was the mystery of that story.

Balmaseda set up his business in 24 ...

and I made a lot of money in New York.

In the 28th, he quit and started a trucking company in Seattle.

And in thirty-two, it disappeared, disappeared.

Steven found some files here in Seattle.

Balmaseda company registration forms.

But, Steven believed that Balmaceda had planned to disappear.

Because his business was very bad and ...

Steven said that's why no one bothered.

But it never appeared. It is very strange.

And then I found this.

I wish I had never found it. It changed so much after that.

He didn't want me to see her. She didn't want me to touch her ...

I do not understand. He was obsessed with it.

It changed completely.

What could have made him change like this?

I said it was better that I did not see her and that I should not even go near.

Before we share everything. Why would I do that?

The eight-millimeter film was found by Steven H ...

during the fall of 1999.

Upon retrieving this document, we hesitate to show it to the public.

But it is a responsibility that we must assume.

The images were shot in April 1932,

at the time of Balmaseda's disappearance.

Its sixteen minutes were intended to record an experiment.

We will follow them with you, step by step.

This must be the first.

From the angle, the man who cuts his hand is behind the camera.

That dark liquid comes from the cube we have seen.

They are preparing a bath.

In these frames we discover that it is made up of human blood.

We don't know if that man was the one who cut off his hand.

Nor can we determine how much time has elapsed since the previous image.

Three more men enter.

Balmaseda is the one in the center, he wears a white shirt.

From the attention given to Balmaseda, we deduce that perhaps he was their leader.

They treat you with the utmost respect.

They draw a circle on the ground. They all seem very tense.

They describe marks in the circle.

Along with the head, hands and feet of Balmaseda.

Five points in total.

Using the chalk line, on the ground appears ...

the shape of a star when connecting the dots.

The lines are thickened with paint.

They use specially made tools.

They avoid stepping inside the circle.

This shows the importance of the procedure.

They are drawing a five-pointed star.

The summoning circle used in black magic.

They are worshipers of Satan.

The curtain rises.

Now the experiment begins, or what we should call ceremony.

We already know that everything had been prepared for Balmaseda.

It is the center of the event.

Balmaseda is about to bathe in human blood.

My name is Steven.

These are the results of the research on ...

a Mexican named Antonio Balmaseda, who disappeared in 1932.

The recording concludes the studies that he had recorded on tapes.

It is the evidence that I have collected.

The Seattle police report for April '32 ...

mentioning the disappearance of Balmaseda.

I received the account book of the Balmaseda company.

It was given to me by the daughter of his accountant at the time, Karl Krummel.

He found evidence that he was giving sums of money to various men ...

during the period between 1929 and 1932.

June 15, 1999.

I have received the account book from Miss Krummel.

There is something strange about the three years before he disappeared.

In the pages of the book it is indicated that since January 30, 1930,

Balmaceda regularly delivered three thousand dollars,

a lot of money for that time, to three people:

Dickson Ward, Anton Milodragovitch
y Carlos Carvalho,

who appear every three months in 1930,

every two months in the 31st and every week in early 1932.

Those men weren't partners and they weren't clients.

I thought it was blackmail. And I investigated them.

None are alive.

ATTENTION: IMAGES MAY DAMAGE

The brush used to wash Balmaseda is designed ...

to prevent others from touching the blood.

Which has an important symbolic value.

The bath was undoubtedly a purification process.

Like smoke, surely incense.

We can't decipher what that man is saying.

It could be a prayer that accompanies the purification.

Each of them knows what to do.

They all act in perfect harmony.

But for some reason, to Carvalho, the man who brings the chalice,

You are not allowed to hand it over to Balmaseda.

They begin to pray. Balmaseda seems very tense.

The prayer ends with a sign of the inverted cross and with:

To the eternal glory of the infernals of God.

In Latin '' Eternal Glory for the Infernal Deity ''.

It is the conclusion of an invocation to the devil.

We do not know what is the dark liquid that Balmaseda has just drank.

The shots of Balmaseda's eyes show that perhaps it is ...

of some drug that causes a certain dizziness.

Balmaseda is under the influence of the drug.

He can barely walk.

The man on our left, Carvalho, asks him something.

Balmaseda nods.

Pay attention to what is going to happen.

The two men on the sides, Ward and Milodragovitch ...

they take out razors. Carvalho looks scared.

Balmaseda's death takes place in the second third of the filming.

What started as a study of my thesis,

it has become much more complex.

After watching the footage, I can't continue as before.

I haven't told Meg. I don't know what to do with it.

Did I teach it or not?

I need someone's help. Even if it's advice.

THE LAST THIRD OF THE 8 MM FILM.

Let's see what happens in the last stage of the ceremony.

Balmaseda is not dead yet. The men seem surprised.

Balmaseda tries to scream as blood floods her throat.

The sound would be terrifying. Watch Carvalho's reaction.

They drag Balmaceda's body to the center of the star.

It must be very important that you stay inside.

De nuevo las palabras ''In the eternal glory of the infernal God''.

They force Carvalho to finish Balmaseda.

Now it's up to him to draw blood.

We do not know how long has elapsed between these images and the previous ones.

Everyone knew the procedure of the ceremony,

but they find it hard to bear it.

Four candles burn in the circle around the body.

Six hours have passed since Balmaseda's death.

Carvalho takes out a page where there is another prayer for the ceremony.

Another sign of the inverted cross. An anti-Christian symbol.

Fourteen hours. They seem to wait for something to happen.

Twenty four hours. Time is decisive in this ceremony.

Notice that the three men seem exhausted.

We don't know what Ward says, but he's very angry.

Perhaps because the event they expect is not happening.

This shot has started hastily.

Twenty seven hours. They are scared.

Balmaseda gets up. He has returned from beyond.

This image shows that Balmaseda cannot leave the circle.

A minute after his resurrection, Balmaseda collapses again.

Thirty hours.

Balmaseda's body is still motionless. There are no signs of movement.

All three men seem depressed. What they expected has lasted very little.

Forty-four hours. They seem to give up.

Was the resurrection of Balmaseda what they expected?

Should it end like this?

Did you reach your goal at the ceremony? We ignore it.

THE NURSE

It's been like this for two days. And it's getting worse.

He screams most of the time.

He had never seen anything like it. He's losing his mind.

He hardly recognizes his parents or his girlfriend.

And those marks that he has all over his body ...

Even the doctors don't know what they are from.

It seems like Steven is getting worse. Do you know what happens?

I don't know. I have no idea.

His blood test confirms a malignant tumor.

Hence, those black spots have appeared.

A rapid deterioration of the organs, linked to an immunodeficiency.

An unknown disease.

Your attacker may have infected you.

We are in contact with several clinics around the world that have his record.

None of them have come across such a case.

There is no active treatment for this disease.

Sorry to say, but we are blind.

�Hay m�s?

Hola! Suban on board!

John! Do you want to replace me for a while?

Thanks.

Is that over there, there is little left.

THE DAUGHTER OF THE BALMASEDA ACCOUNTANT MISS KRUMMEL

My father's accounts from when he worked for Balmaseda.

When the company closed, I kept the book as a souvenir.

Steven was excited when he read it.

I was surprised that a student could be so interested in this.

I did not imagine that they would film me talking about it.

If my father knew, he would be proud and surprised.

It was very discreet.

I would not understand why account books are so interesting.

And not that he was scamming. It's not Al Capone's accounting.

Do you think Balmaseda was a gangster?

It's not that. Or yes?

My father would have known. He only worked with honest people.

August 20, 1999.

I have the mugshots of the other three men.

According to the documents of the Spanish police,

a thirty-year-old American, identified as Carvalho,

was found dead on September 8, 1932,

at six in the morning in Vallvidrera, on the outskirts of Barcelona,

few months after the ceremony.

La polic a does not consider Carvalho a Spanish resident,

unlike the Interpol archives.

We assume that he had passports from different countries.

He was stabbed to death. Six stab wounds ...

on the left side of your body. No sign of the k*ller.

Aside from the stabbing, the only damage to the body ...

they were bruises on the forehead and one shoulder, perhaps from the fall.

No other signs of struggle.

The other point of interest on the body was a five cm tattoo ...

keyhole-shaped on the left wrist.

The tattoo did not belong to any criminal group of the time.

The record indicates that the body was identified by a woman named ...

The file describes the woman as an indirect relative. He was from Seattle.

She is the woman mentioned by Steven in his recording.

I tried to find it, but it has disappeared.

This Scotland Yard file gave clues about Dickson Ward.

According to their files, the body was found in a suburban neighborhood ...

Manchester in 1934, two years after the ceremony.

Ward was k*lled by two drunks, after a fight in a tavern.

The two assailants were not found.

Ward was no stranger to the British police.

Small-time offender, arrested nine times.

He did not belong to any religious movement.

The Milodragovitch trail took longer to rebuild.

Anton Milodragovitch was found by his maid in the fall of 1937,

five years after the ceremony.

Hanged in the house that had just been built in Mexico, near Tijuana.

Born in Philadelphia to a Polish family,

He had a small company dedicated to trade between Mexico and the United States.

In 1935, he left the United States to live in Mexico.

He never had a problem with the law. His death was considered a suicide.

Milodragovitch had a daughter, she refused to be interviewed.

THE SEVENTH DAY

Why are you filming? Did Steven ask you?

Yes, he wants us to record everything. Tell me who you are?

We need to talk. Let's put Steven to rest.

-How long have you been filming? -I'll do a week.

I understand. I'm not here to judge you

but it is about a young man in a very serious situation.

And I don't think I can help you out of this predicament.

I hope you do not hinder what I have to do to help him.

We haven't hindered anything, father.

You already did when you entered Steven's room,

Especially in his current state and filming his pain

That is one way of hindering. And it may not be appropriate.

It is not a carnival monster to amuse people.

I don't think you understand what you feel before you.

�Padre!

Father, Steven asked you to film everything.

I already know that.

Okay, let's draw a line.

I know what Steven has asked of you and what he has asked of me.

I am Father Maxime Trentin.

I carry out psychological and sociological studies for the Vatican.

I investigate supernatural cases, to separate the truth from the fraud.

Weeks ago, Steven sent us some of his discoveries,

requesting our assessment.

We have reason to believe that this is a very serious case.

Have you ever heard of the Black Gate?

The question is not that.

It doesn't matter if the men of that sect are maniac ...

or devil worshipers.

The point is that there is a young man who is dying.

And I have come to find out what happened to him.

And, if I can, to help you.

And we understand it. It worries us too.

Well, show that concern by respecting their suffering.

I don't care if you film me, but this is not a show.

Come on, Meg.

FATHER TRENTIN

How did Steven work from that point on?

I asked Interpol for these men in case they had a record.

He said that if they were gangsters they would have left traces behind.

It took time to get answers.

But, at the same time, Steven got in touch with Spain ...

for clues about Carvalho. It was his next step.

September 8, 1999. I have met Carvalho's girlfriend.

She identified the body in Barcelona.

He has given me something very important: Carvalho's belongings.

Carvalho gave them to him in 1932, before leaving for Spain.

He had kept them ever since.

Based on the black notebook and the old movie,

I began to believe that these men held regular meetings ...

and they performed some kind of ceremony from time to time.

A devilish ceremony.

I think they were a cult.

On this yellowed paper there is a text written in an unknown alphabet.

It could be the prayer of the ceremony that Carvalho had preserved,

when they prayed next to the body of Balmaseda.

It must be the symbol they used as their emblem.

They would use it as a sign of recognition.

They were called "The Black Door."

According to Steven, the last man was fifth in the photographs.

He was not mentioned in the evidence Steven had gathered.

His name was Morgen.

A successful businessman in the early fifties.

He made his fortune after the w*r, trading with Germany.

He was a car champion, he won great prizes in Europe ...

and the United States in the late 1940s.

But according to Steven, before the w*r he was a nobody who did everything.

He was the last one Steven located before he was attacked in the house,

as you will soon see in Steven's latest video.

-Hi, sir. -Hello there.

- Isn't it a bit cold? -Yes.

Sorry, I have a lot of work.

Be careful!

I don't want to buy another.

You're not using my tape to record, are you?

Easy, grunt. I bought one just to record you.

Why don't we go out to dinner tonight?

Yes. But wait a bit.

I think I have all the pieces of the puzzle, but something is missing.

Hello? Yes, I'm Steven.

Mr. Morgen! Thanks for calling me so soon.

Yes, do you have the address? One moment.

Yes. Yes, great.

Yes, of course. Of course. Brilliant.

Okay. Thanks.

Good news? Well, let's celebrate.

Impossible. I have to go get a map. It won't take long.

Up to now.

THE SEQUENCES OF THE LAST VIDEO OF STEVEN: THE OLD HOUSE

November 12, 1999. Here I am.

On the way to the house where Morgen says he will find what I need.

Morgen's information is not very accurate,

It took me longer than I thought to find the house.

But I'm already here and about to inspect it.

�Mierda! �Maldita sea!

This at night is a little scary.

Is there someone there? Hello?

It seems that there is no one.

What is that?

Is it water?

f*ck, it looks like blood!

It's a bit thick.

There is something mixed with the water.

Qui n you ah ?

-Do you take it with sugar, father? -No thanks.

-Yes? -No, nothing. Excuse me

Is this the house where ...?

What is that?

Por fine!

Is it the black door?

f*ck! I was scared to death!

�Joder!

In this house all the mirrors are broken.

sh*t! I've wasted my time, there's nothing here.

One moment.

This does not fit.

�Jes�s!

What is this! What does it mean?

There is no blood. Maybe it's too old.

Olv�dalo.

Unless...

�Balmaseda?

�Balmaseda!

Are you here?

Itll be an idiot!

f*ck, f*ck!

What do you think, father?

It seems that there is talk of superstitious crime and sick minds.

Criminals

We cannot speak of supernatural phenomena yet.

The men who perform the ceremony have faith in their profane practices.

And they follow some classic signs of the satanic ritual.

The circle of invocations, the use of the magical alphabet ...

They are signs commonly used in these circles.

It is mass hysteria disguised as a ritual.

What about Balmaseda's resurrection and his reappearance to attack Steven?

Resurrection is a very strong word.

I have no explanation for any of that,

but there are fans willing to represent that kind of thing.

What we need to find out are the plans of these people.

Why did they use Steven to ...?

Why did it derail your plans or because it was part of them?

-And how do we do it? -We have to understand how they think.

These people adhere to a dogma stricter than Catholicism.

To fight them, we will follow the rules they have established.

We will have to break the pattern of beliefs that they have created.

We must find out who is the demon they wish to summon.

And who benefited from his coming after the ceremony.

That phrase is written in the alphabet of black magic.

By the names adonai, el, elohim, ehyeh, asher, ehyeh and zobaoth, ...

I order you and I oblige you, Buer, to remain in this room. ''

Everything is designed to keep the demon locked up.

THE TENTH DAY

�Steven! �Steven!

I'm Meg. Me.

What are you trying to say? What are you trying to say, tell me?

My love...

�Dios m�o!

�Steven! �Steven!

It's blood!

Cry tears of blood!

It is not easy to say this.

We still haven't identified the degenerative disease.

We have tried various treatments, but not knowing what we are fighting against ...

it is impossible to fight it.

What does it mean? Can't heal my son?

I am afraid of that. And I'm sorry.

We cannot find a cure for that disease.

-And that's why you quit? -Of course not.

Understand the situation. We are running out of time.

The disease has manifested itself and the rate of degeneration ...

The rhythm? How long do they have to find that cure?

Not much.

-Five days maximum. -But ...!

He is my son! How can you throw in the towel?

How can you just sit around waiting for me to die?

You are a doctor, it is your job! Do something!

You can't just watch him die!

You can't! Do something!

This seal is not unknown.

It matches the name on the door, Buer.

This seal is the symbol, or signature of that demon, Buer.

This was how Buer was portrayed in the early 19th century.

For satanic worshipers, it is one of the 72 main demons,

although their position is low compared to others.

But it is a very powerful entity, offering knowledge and strength.

According to various texts, the one who obtains the power of the demon ...

It must be someone who did not participate in the ceremony.

He should have witnessed it, but indirectly.

It is achieved thanks to a mirror that breaks the spell,

like the mirror used by Perseus to avoid Medusa's gaze.

But the movie is a modern way of doing the same.

But filming all this perpetuates the course of events,

and it is served for the purposes of that man.

But how will it be achieved? Who is he?

I have a pretty good theory.

The only survivor.

It has to be him.

And can I stop him? Is there any way to save Steven?

Of course I do.

Although they believe in it, they have used very earthly methods to mock us.

We will prove they are a fraud and we may save your boyfriend.

And pray for Steven. You need it.

Who says I'm playing? Who says I'm a fraud?

I have met others like you, the priests of modern times.

Using words like psychopaths and insane to define ourselves.

All that psychological jargon they learn in college.

They are so predictable!

MR. MORGEN

If you can control your emotions, you may be able to get something out of you.

But you have to control the fire within you.

It is close. But he still doesn't get a glimpse of the whole picture.

Talk about confession.

What if I went to confession?

What if I told you that Balmaseda was only one of the pawns,

one of the many experiments I did?

Each demon grants specific and limited powers.

If you want the whole, you have to invoke several.

Who said that Buer was the only one?

Do you want to know about the others, father?

How did they die and be reborn so that I could acquire power?

Women, children, maybe. Do you want me to confess?

Are you afraid of a poor old man in a wheelchair, father?

Are you superstitious, father?

Would it scare him a little if he bluffed me?

Look at me, father.

Am I telling you the truth?

Look me in the eye.

�Qu� iron�a!

The witness is the one who gets the benefits.

You sure understand. Isn't that what you're trying to do?

It will continue without me. I know it will continue.

Why come for me when I can make him come for someone else?

I don't t*rture anyone, you know?

Passing the cloak would be a more accurate definition.

I can understand your anger. I can understand it.

Things can be darker than they seem.

If he weren't wearing those habits, he sure would punch an old man like me.

Now I feel his hatred.

So no, I can't do anything.

I've already stopped controlling him.

I am free, and I only had to pay a very small price.

The life of an innocent and tender little lamb.

THE THIRTEENTH DAY

A car accident happened this morning outside of Seattle.

The collision occurred between a fire engine and a private vehicle.

No firefighters were injured, but the driver of the car,

Father Maxim Trentin, died during his transfer to the hospital.

In recent years, Father Trentin was a prominent figure in the Church,

a charismatic and provocative defender of Catholicism.

Has he died?

An expert theologian, he had published half a dozen books,

including '' Steps Toward Faith, '' a highly successful essay,

one of the most influential books on modern Christianity.

Is Father Trentin dead?

He had carried out various humanitarian missions in Bangladesh, Rwanda ...

and Croatia, and since 1995 I worked on the creation of shelters ...

for young drug addicts in Russia.

Then there is no hope anymore.

I'm lost.

God, please don't take me away!

�Mira!

Mira!

He has already marked me!

I don't see it, but I know. Sorry

God, please!

�Por favor, ay�dame!

Get out of the room!

Please come out right now!

My son has died.

Stop filming.

I said you don't film!

Have respect.

We buried him yesterday.

I don't know what I'm going to do without him.

Any.

At home. You have to enter the house.

He promised me that he would never leave me.

�Steven?

Steven?

�Est� aqu�!

No! No le ves?

�Steven!

Hey? I am Meg.

Are you there? Please pick up the phone! Please!

�Es Steven!
�Est� aqu�!

He's back! He's here with me!

�Socorro!

�Mierda!

Run! Call the police!
