Nahualli (2025)

[bunniefuu]

[old projector rattling]

Nice

Why do you have to get so much stuff?

(O.S.) You know... munchies, partying.

You think your friend

could get loose with that?

We're not partying here, we're grieving.

(O.S.) Anybody who's

looking for a witch is looking for a party.

Well, I hope she's going to come and you're

not going to do some weird stuff to her.

I forgot my wallet.

I knew that.

I'll pay.

Hey.

[birds chirping]

Yeah.

I'm sorry I just left like that.

I know.

But I promise you I'll be back soon, okay?

Love you bro.

[birds chirping]

Yo, girls, you sure we might see a ghost

on this trip?

Because to me, it seems like you're

setting me up for something sexual.

And I'm pretty baked for it.

For real, those comments

out of nowhere. Just chill.

This book says that there has to be

some sort of an altar.

How about that old church over there?

Can you be more thoughtful?

She's really trying to

figure out something here.

Oh, wait, maybe he's right.

Maybe not inside the church, but...

What if there's something here

that we can't see,

and we can only see it

from the church?

[creepy music playing]

It's like some kind of ghostly...

and no one has come in a while.

[ghostly voice] Get out.

Did you girls say something?

You promised not to be weird, weirdo.

Come on, really.

There's no time for jokes.

I didn't say anything wrong.

I was just asking.

Let's go and take a look.

Um.

It's just gives me weird vibes.

It's a church in the middle of nowhere.

[needy] Man, really.

Then why are we here?

I mean, girls, are you even listening

to what I said?

Fine, let's go get eaten

by some weird monster.

[creepy music continues]

[water drops falling]

[amazed] Jesus Christ.

Now who's going to get sacrificed first?

Just shut up already.

This is the place.

[water splashes]

[crickets chirping]

I really don't like this at all.

She reminds me of my mom.

She's acting all weird and sh*t.

You always make it about you.

Just let her be.

I know, but

doesn't it look weird to you?

But she just lost her mother.

Yeah, but I just...

I don't.

Look, we've all been through a lot.

True.

[scary music creeping in]

Hey.

Hey, girl Nicole.

Nick.

(O.S.) Hey girl.

(O.S.) Hey, snap out.

[groans in pain]

What the...?

What the f*ck?

[scary music continues]

[violin screeching and

church bells ringing]

[screams in pain as church bells ring]

[guts smearing]

[yawns]

[message notification chimes]

[sighs] Jake.

[message notification chimes]

Damn you, Jake.

Late, like always.

[message typing]

[crickets chirping and

car driving off-screen]

(O.S.) Jake?

[car engine turns off]

(O.S.) Oh, I'm glad you made it, man.

(O.S) We just gotta wait for Mark.

He said he'll be here by tomorrow morning.

[nostalgic music fades, truck driving by]

[ringtone playing]

sh*t.

Hello?

Hello?

(JAKE) (O.S.) Hey, Alex,

I got Mark on the phone.

Ok.

Mark, where are you, bro?

You're supposed to be here already.

I know, man. Look, I got caught up.

Last-minute bid on a forest clearing job.

What's up?

No, this is much different

than logging in the mountains.

We're talking search and rescue.

Plus, it's been a year since

your sister disappeared.

Look, the authorities

didn't do a good enough job.

It's been a year.

I've had no answers, no leads.

No body for God's sake.

[muffled] (O.S.) I'm not going

to sit around anymore, Jake.

Gotta go up there and find out

what happened to Nicole.

We got your back, bro.

We're here for you.

Look, we'll start tomorrow morning.

We'll start tomorrow morning.

Going to look for Nicole.

Just be ready for anything.

[muffled] (O.S.) Okay,

we'll see you soon then.

(O.S.) All right, all right. Bye.

[Mexican guitar riff playing]

[Mexican guitar riff playing]

[town plaza ambience]

I love this pueblito.

The alcohol is so cheap here.

Yes, it is. Maybe we should go

Oh, sh*t, I need to pick something.

I'll be back in a minute.

- OK.

- Mia, hurry up.

- Do you need help?

- No, thank you.

OK.

[pre-Hispanic music playing]

[distant birds chirping]

[crows cawing]

[crickets chirping]

You're going to stay with me, Sarah.

And I will not take a no, for an answer.

She was supposed to stay with me.

It's better that way.

More room for your Insta stories.

[crows screeching as wind blows]

[reggaeton music as girls party]

(O.S.) Are you happy?

Yeah, a lot.

We are here...

To connect with the Pacha Mama.

To celebrate life.

Our friendship.

And my baby sister.

Thanks for being here

and joining me.

In my last...

wild night being single!

Well, I want to make a toast.

OK!

For the most

beautiful bride ever.

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

[crickets chirping]

[fireplace crackling]

[truck approaching]

[tense music rising]

[crickets chirping]

Ah, Mark.

[sighs in relief]

Don't scuttle off like that.

[sighs]

[nostalgic music rising]

I'm going to be here

by your side always.

Whenever you need me,

I'll be there for you.

[crickets chirping]

(O.S.) Hey.

(O.S.) I'm sorry I just left like that.

(O.S.) But I promise you,

I'll be back soon.

(O.S.) OK?

[distorted glitch rising ominously]

[echoing scream pierces the air]

[distant dogs barking]

[screechy footsteps drawing closer]

Nicole?

[Nicole whispering in ancient language]

What are you?

What are you doing here?

follow you into the woods?

[Nicole whispering in ancient language]

[shivers]

OK.

The mountains of Mexico

looking for your a*s.

Where can you go?

In the mountains in Mexico,

looking for you.

[ominous footsteps approaching]

Oh no.

Nicole, where are you?!

[sharp thump]

What the f*ck!

Oh, sh*t.

What the f*ck am I doing out here?

[tense music playing]

What the hell?

What were you doing outside?

And barefoot?

(O.S.) And why are you sweating?

I have no idea, bro.

[crickets and owls in the distance]

[sighs]

[lighter flicks]

So...

Is everything all right with...?

With what?

With him?

I know that you don't like him.

But...

He has been so good to me.

He treats me like if I'm special.

[sighs]

Not everything in life

is about money, Sarah.

It's not about the money.

[owl hooting]

I can't believe it.

Do you even love him?

[crickets chirping]

Yes, I do.

[door slams shut]

[crows cawing intensifies]

OK, it's time to have fun and...

[reggaeton beat playing]

Get us drunk.

- Finally.

- No thanks.

- What?!

- I pass.

(O.S.) What did you say?

(O.S.) You're gonna do it.

- Now you're gonna do it.

- No, please.

For your sister!

Come on, come on, come on.

Go!

[reggaeton beat continues]

Come on, come on,

come on, come on!

Sarah, it's your turn.

Mmm...

[drunk] Truth.

[group laughing]

I have one. I have one.

OK.

Have you ever kissed a girl?

[group laughs]

Oh, come on!

I want to know!

Yeah!

[drunk] Lily, you're next.

[drunk] And it can't be truth

this time, OK?

Yeah!

- All right.

- [drunk] You have to kiss everyone.

Why, bro?

That's not a problem!

- Love you girls.

- Come on, come on, come on.

[reggaeton music continues]

Well, who's next?

[laughs]

[reggaeton music continues]

- Me?

- Yes!

OK, OK, OK.

[party chatter]

[romantic music starts]

[muffled romantic music playing]

[heavy breathing over muffled music]

[distant crows cawing]

[cicadas and dogs barking]

[tense music rising]

[fire crackling]

[muffled breathing]

[seashell necklace rattling]

Where the hell am I?

[tense music intensifies]

[speaking in ancient tongue]

You must tread like the jaguar.

You must tread watchfully.

She is near, like thunder

before rain.

What? I don't understand.

[drum sounds intensify]

Your sister bears

a stranger's heart.

A stranger's heart.

Is this my sister here?

You blind fool!

Blind fool!

The storm begins within.

The thread binds you to her.

Guard your breath.

I don't know, I...

I don't understand.

[screeching shout]

[demonic voice in Spanish]

The awakening of the trees

awakens the spirit.

[dogs barking loudly]

[heavy breathing]

[loud hit]

[distant church bells ringing]

Alex.

Alex.

Alex, bro.

Listen.

Hey wake up man.

Come on, bro. I gotta talk to you.

Wake up.

Listen to me.

[sighs]

I know this is

going to sound crazy,

but I need you to

believe me, all right, listen.

I just had this dream.

Listen, I didn't

even feel like a dream.

You felt real. Look

I think that

Nicole's calling to me.

She's trying to

tell me where she's at.

I don't know Mark.

You don't f*cking know.

Listen, I've

never had a dream like this.

I've never, you

know, the whole time she's

been gone this

whole year until we get here.

Why now?

[distant church bells ringing]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hey, hey, hey, Jake, Jake.

Oh, well, well, chill, chill.

Listen, listen, you hear this?

What the f*ck's going on?

Listen.

[distant church bells ringing]

Dude, I don't know what the f*ck

that is, but it

could be Nicole, man.

No.

Oh, bro, no.

It's definitely not Nicole.

But what if it is, man?

It could be.

We at least

need to check it out.

Shut the f*ck up.

You don't know nothing

- about what's going out there.

- (O.S) Stop.

Stop arguing.

Listen.

Dude, we just gotta go f*cking.

Mark, don't go.

Don't go yet, Mark, okay?

No, Mark.

Listen, listen.

We gotta just f*cking go, dude.

Look, I can't.

I know, I know.

Let's f*cking go.

Come on.

[cicadas as truck drives by]

[distant church bells ringing]

[car door warnings]

(O.S.) Careful, Mark.

Okay, remember, guys,

we need to stay close together.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, gotcha.

Nicole!

Oh, good.

Mark!

This m*therf*cker just doesn't

listen to anything I say!

Mark!

[panting]

Jake?

Where are you, Jake?

[crickets chirping]

[high pitched noise]

[crying]

[church bells ring]

[walkie-talkie crackles]

Jake, answer me.

Alex!

Alex!

Help me!

[screaming on walkie-talkie]

[sighing]

[scary music intensifies]

[high-pitched noise]

[loud dogs barking]

Mark.

Mark!

[heartbeat slowing]

[loud dogs barking]

Nicole.

Damn it, where are you, Nicole?

Nicole.

Mark!

Mark!

Mark!

What's going on?

Something, something, something!

Something's terrible

happened to Jake!

We gotta get outta here now!

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Let's get outta here!

We come back later!

Come back!

[car engine revving]

[crickets chirping]

(O.S.) I know how you're feeling, man.

I know this was

a sh*t show tonight.

We don't know

what happened with Jake.

This doesn't feel right, man.

Sitting here in front of a fire

like we're on f*cking vacation.

[fire crackles]

Bro, I'm asking that

you listen to me for a second.

Let me finish

what I have to say.

Tell you what

I think is happening,

and then you can

do whatever you want,

say whatever you want,

make whatever decision you want.

I'm just asking you

to listen to me for a second.

[sighs]

These dreams

that I've been having,

they're not natural, man.

Not only am I

dreaming about Nicole

and what the

f*ck happened to them,

it's like there's

something or somebody

talking to me,

some kind of

forest creature spirit.

I know how f*cking

crazy that sounds, man.

There's some

sort of like good spirit,

shaman type of

guy, his name's Kaya.

He's telling me there's

things that we can do to appease her.

Jake's still out there, man.

I know he's alive.

I don't know exactly

what happened or what took him

or whatever's going

on, man, but she's still there,

or he's still there.

And we're sitting

here doing nothing, man.

Mark, stop.

Have you just heard yourself?

I mean, are

you out of your mind?

For God's sake, bro.

We are here for Nicole,

and now we don't know

what happened to Jake out there.

Exactly, we don't

know what happened to Jake.

Exactly, so we need to call,

I don't know, the cops,

the authorities, the rangers.

This is too much for us.

Bro, what did

they do for Nicole?

They had a year to

try to find some answers,

some leads, and

they didn't find sh*t.

That's why we're here.

That's why I asked

you and Jake to come help me.

And where is Jake?

I don't know, bro.

That's why we need

to go back out and find him.

I'm not waiting

for the authorities.

He just went

disappearing tonight.

This is the best

chance that you and I

can f*cking figure this out.

I don't know, bro.

Look.

Honestly, I don't know.

This is out of our league.

You're a grown a*s, man.

And if you wanna

leave, you can leave.

I don't know, man.

[fire crackling]

I don't know.

[wind blowing]

[nostalgic music rises]

I love this place.

[birds chirping]

Total relaxation.

I enjoy it so

much, especially with you.

[rusty swing creaking]

I miss your mom so much.

Yeah.

Being here, it

helped me to get through it.

[dramatic music rising]

I want you to know that.

As long that I'm gonna be at your side,

I'll be there for you.

[birds chirping]

Look, this is what I got for you.

I got it down here, down the road.

Thank you.

How are you feeling?

Cold

Cold?

Let me go get your sweater.

[dramatic music]

Victoria!

[panting]

Victoria!

Victoria!

[panting]

Victoria!

[groaning]

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

[dramatic music]

[sighs]

[dramatic music fades]

[door closes]

[birds chirping]

What's the plan for today?

We should go for a hike.

Oh, no, sh*t, no, no.

I'm too tired.

f*ck it, I'm going.

Yeah.

Have fun, baby.

[door opens]

This was a great idea.

I love this place.

Yeah, it's so peaceful out here.

Olivia.

I need to tell you something.

Can you keep a secret?

f*ck, my phone isn't working.

Can't post anything.

Olivia!

What were you saying?

Listen, I've been

holding this for years

and please don't judge me.

[dramatic music]

I'm in love with your sister.

[dramatic music]

Why?

Well, something

bad happened last night.

Well, I don't

know if it was bad.

But I mean, I'm confused.

I'm not confused about that.

Stop, stop.

I don't get it.

Why me?

Why are you telling me this?

Well, I thought

maybe you could help.

Do you think I should tell her?

I think you

should go and f*ck yourself.

What the hell is wrong with you?

She's my sister.

She don't

deserve this kind of sh*t.

f*ck.

[dramatic music]

[flies swarming]

[flies swarming]

This is good.

[flies swarming]

Means he's close.

[far away scream]

[birds fly away]

Jake!

No.

Jake!

[high pitched noise rising]

[evil growls]

[eerie music]

[distant bells]

[crows cawing]

[crows cawing]

[demonic voice] Lily.

[crows cawing intensifies]

[crows cawing intensifies]

Girls!

There's something in the woods.

What's wrong with you?

I'm not kidding, I

heard someone calling my name.

And I am the crazy one.

f*ck you.

(O.S) Take it easy.

[reggae music plays]

[door closes]

What the hell did I miss?

I don't know.

[crying]

[reggae music plays muffled]

[distant crows cawing]

[church bells ringing]

Why would you do that?

[reggae music plays distorted]

[crying]

[loud church bells ringing]

Hey, she might be here, man.

Hey.

Hey.

[hard church bell rings]

[tense music]

[tense music]

[loud hit]

[demonic growling]

Mark, what happened?

What's going on?

[scary hit]

Oh sh*t!

[church bells ringing]

Mark, stop.

Stop, it's me, it's me, Alex.

No, please, no,

no, don't do it, Mark.

Please, don't do it, Mark.

[choking]

[distant crows and bell ringing]

[chill song playing]

What's going on with the girls?

They have been

acting weird the whole day.

Maybe I'm

wrong, but do you remember

anything from last night?

I remember everything.

You need to keep it

together when you're drinking.

I don't know if

I should tell you this but,

something weird

happened with Lily last night.

What do you mean weird?

I don't know, we were

drinking and having fun but,

I feel like

she took advantage of me.

Advantage of you?

That's huge.

[door opens]

Lily.

[door slamming]

[sighs]

[chill music continues]

[sighs]

Are you sure?

I'm about to get married.

I don't wanna ruin

this over some bullshit.

[crying]

[distant crows cawing]

[crying]

[suspense music]

[demonic voice] Lily.

[demonic voice]

Get off my woods.

[church bells ringing]

[dramatic music]

[screaming]

[music stops]

[distant church bell]

[loud hit]

[screaming]

[scary music intensifies]

[neck cracks]

[ethereal music]

Alex.

What the hell

are you doing here, man?

You attacked me.

And you almost k*lled me.

What are you talking about?

I've been here for hours,

walking around

looking for a way out of here,

looking for the cabin, anything.

I don't recognize

this place either.

[high pitched noise]

Mark, that noise.

[noise intensifies]

[screaming in pain]

[high pitched noise]

[muffled party music]

[party music]

Somebody's hungry?

And I could use a

shot right now.

Can you stop drinking?

It's a party.

It's what you're

supposed to be doing, come on.

Boo, alcoholic.

Boring.

[party music continues]

(singing in foreign language)

[dramatic music starts]

Where are you going?

I'm gonna go look for her.

Why?

Because she's my friend.

And I'm your sister,

and you use to

forget to pick me up

in high school so many times.

Don't be such a child, Olivia.

I'm your baby, sis.

[door slams shut]

Oh, it's yours?

Come on.

[dramatic music]

[crows cawing]

Lily!

Lily!

Lily?

Lily!

Lily!

[dramatic music]

Lily!

Lily!

Now I'm going to

show you how your sister

and I became best friends.

[reggae music]

I'm not sure about this.

Try it.

Calm down.

Let them solve their issues.

[coughing]

[reggae music]

Is there

something you wanna tell me?

Strong.

You know.

You are

the only friend of my sister

that I really like.

Oh, you're high already.

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music intensifies]

We need to go.

Something really

bad happened to Lily.

[dramatic music intensifies]

(O.S.) She's joking.

I'm not joking, Mia.

[door bangs]

Guys!

We need to go!

We're gonna die!

Who are you?

[screaming]

Go, go, go.

[dramatic music continues]

[heavy breathing]

Don't do it, Mark.

[heavy breathing]

Don't.

Don't do it.

No.

Don't do it.

[heavy breathing]

[dramatic music continues]

[heavy breathing]

[screaming in pain]

[grunts]

[ethereal music]

[aztec whistle]

[speaking in ancient tongue]

Your whisper is louder than drums.

Some kind of whisper?

[aztec whistle]

Only the brave may seek her.

[aztec whistle]

Seek where the veil thins.

Seek...

What should I seek?

[aztec horn]

Strike the altar and she will weaken.

[high-pitched noise rising]

[screams]

[heavy breathing]

[demonic voice]

[dramatic music]

[high-pitched noise rising]

[distant dogs barking]

[tense music rises]

[tense music stops]

[screams]

No!

Mia!

Mia!

[crows cawing in background]

[eerie music playing]

[crying]

Lily.

No, Lily.

Lily.

- No!

- We need to go.

No, no!

We need to go.

No, Lily!

Lily!

- No!

- Lets go!

No!

[crying]

[dark music]

No!

[crying]

[dark music rises]

[gasping]

[loud hit]

[ethereal music]

[speaking in ancient tongue]

The burden shifts. Gods name you.

The path calls.

Destroy the altar.

Only then take the book

to the chosen one.

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music intensifies]

[neck cracks]

[dramatic music stops]

[water dropping]

I don't wanna k*ll people, please.

I didn't do

anything to deserve this.

Come on.

[demonic grunts]

I was just

looking for my sister.

[eerie music]

[demonic voice]

[demonic gasp]

[crickets chirping]

[can tumbles]

[heavy breathing]

Don't scream,

don't scream, don't scream.

It could hear us.

It's in the forest, okay?

If we're not careful

it could hunt us down.

Who are you?

What do you want?

We need to get going.

I'll explain as we walk.

Lets go.

Lets go.

[crickets chirping]

[car doors close]

So...

Basically,

I came here to help my

my friend Mark find his sister.

But...

Things started to go crazy.

And I don't know

what to believe anymore.

It's like...

I never thought that

Mark was capable

of doing something like this.

So you're saying your

friend turned into that freak

who k*lled my friends?

And you expect me to just

go with you?

Are you serious?

Did you listen to what I said?

He attacked me too.

And that's not

the Mark that I know.

[distant owl]

There's something

going on in him like a,

a possession or something?

Your friend, k*lled my friends.

He's a m*rder*r!

Calm down.

I can't.

We need to calm down.

I can't!

I'm trying to help you.

I'm not the one

who k*lled your friends.

We need to understand

what's happening to Mark.

Maybe we can stop it.

And help your sister too.

And you expect me to

just believe all of that?

Just like that?

[impacts on car]

[car engine starts]

[distant church bells]

(ominous hit)

[distant church bells]

[loud hit]

[ethereal music]

[speaking in ancient tongue]

The prophecy began 100 winters ago.

To call the prophecy forth...

She claimed the ancient man's

daughter.

[wind howling]

I'm sorry.

I'm trying to find my friend.

You don't understand!

Fate allows no choice.

Your friends' is not

bound to yours.

I'm just

trying to find my friend.

I'm helping him.

He has reached Mictlan.

Nahualli lives beneath

your friend's skin.

To finish this, the old man's rite

must be repeated.

[fire crackling]

[aztec whistle]

[speaking in ancient tongue]

Nahualli took my daughter.

Help me, I'm begging.

[aztec whistle]

I need your power to avenge her.

[dramatic music]

[shamanic growl]

Nahualli.

The cursed one.

Nahualli!

Must die!

[flesh tearing and chewing]

[aztec whistle]

[aztec whistle]

[aztec whistle]

[church bells ringing]

[eerie glitches]

[liquid dripping]

What's this all about?

[speaking in ancient tongue]

The sister reached through death

and returned Nahualli.

Nahualli.

What does it have to do with me?

We didn't do anything wrong?

Nahualli.

How can I find her?

Let the church bells lead.

She waits beyond.

How can I fight it?

A heart for a heart,

a soul for a soul.

Nahualli.

Her guard is broken.

Find the book and end this.

I can't

believe this is happening.

How are we

supposed to fight that monster?

And then

there's your friend too?

I don't think that

thing is my friend anymore.

But we need

to stop this madness.

What about the book?

It's at the chapel.

At the top of the mountain.

Do you know

where is that chapel?

I've been there.

Sheman says a heart

for a heart, a soul for a soul.

But what do he mean by that?

In the dream, they tie her up

and pull out her heart.

They took her heart.

And where do you

think that heart is?

What if it wasn't

about where they put it?

What if it was about where

she hides the ones she's taken?
