Devil's Stomping Ground, The (2022)

Post by bunniefuu »

[911 operator]

Chatham County 911,

what's the address

of your emergency?

[Robin] I don't know.

It's the Devil's

Stomping Ground.

-Just-- just send help!

-[911 operator] Okay, sir.

Please try to calm down.

What's your name?

[Robin] My name's Robin.

[911 operator] What's the nature

of your emergency, Robin?

[Robin] I don't know

what the f*ck happened.

They all just freaked out,

and now we need the help.

[911 operator] What do you mean,

they freaked out?

[Robin] The girl...

my friends... everyone!

[Robin sniffles] It's horrible!

[Robin sobbing]

[911 operator]

Please try to explain, sir.

[Robin] I'm all alone...

there's so much bl--

[Robin]

You're gonna be watchin' me,

but I'm also gonna be

watchin' you

with this headcam action.

[Trevor] All right, hang on,

there's something wrong

with this thing.

[Robin sighs, clears his throat]

You gotta hold in that

doo-hickey on the side

to open the lens cap.

[Trevor] Well,

the last person that used this

must have had a PB&J

for lunch or something.

[Robin] Dude, really, bro?

[Trevor]

Yeah, it's sticky all over.

Oh, okay, okay.

I got it, I got it.

[clearing throat]

Greetings, people of Earth.

-My name is Robin Too--

-[Trevor] Hey, hang on.

You gotta slate the card first.

Oh, yeah. Right.

This is Card Number One,

of Robin and Trevor's

junior project,

currently titled "Apocalypse."

Let's do it later.

Good evening.

My name is Robin Toobein.

We are here at the place

specially known to many

as the Triple J, Jonah,

Jimmy and Jake's place.

We're here because

with just one week left

until the senior project is due,

Jonah has finally decided

to act like a director

and has called

a production meeting.

It is our assignment

to bring you behind the scenes

of Dr. Claypool's

independent production group,

Number Three,

aptly dubbed "The Slackers."

To witness their efforts

in creating a short

narrative film that, well...

doesn't suck too hard.

Hey, you can't say

stuff like that on this.

[exhales sharply]

You know, Trevor--

[clears throat] Okay. Fine.

Just do that pan up trick

so we can cut back in.

[Robin inhales, exhales sharply]

Aptly dubbed

The Doomsday Clock,

to witness

their creative efforts

and document

behind-the-scenes drama

that incubates and thrives

in the stress-fueled confusion

of status and self-worth

that is a movie set.

In this, sell your soul

and wh*re your body for a--

[Trevor] Whoa, whoa, Robin!

You can't say "wh*re"

in a student film.

Dude, who says?

Dr. Fregola shows porn

in his Dreams in Films class.

We watched them together.

You remember

the fire p*ssy shot?

[Trevor] Yeah, yeah, yeah, man,

I remember.

But if this gets in trouble,

I'm throwing you under the bus.

Yeah. That's fine.

[camera beeps]

In this, sell your soul

and wh*re your body

for an internship

with the studio jungle

that we all hope

to graduate into.

There's just one question

that must be answered.

Do you have the talent

to rise up

and create a film

that thrills an audience

without going over schedule

and busting the budget?

In this case, a bunch of stoners

who are already behind schedule?

The odds are long indeed.

But enough prognosticating.

It's time to mask up.

[billiard ba*ls clattering]

Ooh.

-[Robin] Good break, man.

-Yeah, guys.

[Robin] Hey.

How are you all doin'?

-What's up?

-[Robin] What's up--

We're just shootin' a doc.

Um, so--

Well, howdy, boys. Come on in.

The g*ng's all here.

[Robin] Well, hey, Dexter.

Hey, you're lookin' hot

this evenin'.

Well, thanks, baby.

[muffled country music playing]

[indistinct background chatter]

[waterpipe bubbling]

[explosions over TV]

Exhibit A.

-Want a hit?

-[Robin] Ah,

thanks but no thanks.

Uh, Zack, I'm sorry.

I know it's corny to say,

but I kind of believe

in that old adage about the--

you know,

the body being a temple.

Hey, no, no, no,

that's not corny, dawg.

-Good on you.

-[Trevor] Dammit!

I'm impressed.

I've never seen you

get that far before.

[sighs] That's nothing.

I've made it all the way

to the end before.

Oh, you have?

Yeah, I bet you have.

You always

know what you're doing.

[Robin] Ew.

Perhaps the two of you

should get a room.

Well, f*ck you, Robin.

[Trevor] Jesus.

[Robin] Uh, dude,

I'm sorry, Willow.

Hey, look, we'll--

we'll edit all this out. Right?



Okay, let's see

what else is happenin' tonight.

I'm now approaching

the epicenter

of Team Slackers' brain trust.

Jonah's room.

[man 1] I do now, cause,

like, that sh*t,

you come see me

for that type of stuff.

-[Robin] Oh, hey y'all!

-[all] Hey!

-[Zack] What's up?

-[Jimmy] What's the deal, bro?

[Robin] We're just shootin'

some footage for the doc.

-[Dexter] Oh.

-Okay.

Oh, hell yeah, man.

I did the same thing last year.

Operation Confusion Tubes.

[Robin] Yes!

That was funny, dude,

I loved it.

-[Trevor] Friggin' awesome.

-Come in.

Yeah, man, come on in!

And you can take off your masks.

We get tested

once a week anyways.

[Robin] Cool, man.

Uh, appreciate it, yeah.

I'm-- I didn't mean

to interrupt y'all, but, uh,

we'll just, uh,

we'll slide in the background.

Hey, Trevor.

-You know what to do.

-[Trevor] Yeah, man.

[quiet music playing]

So where were we?

[Veasna] We're still

tryin' to figure out

a story for our film.

Okay, cool.

Ideas, guys, what's up?

A musical!

A punk rock version

of Singing in the Rain.

That's not bad,

but none of us are musicians.

Yeah, and we don't have

the money for that, so 86.

-What else we got?

-[Veasna] Oh, yeah.

[Jimmy] Ooh, you got it.

Ooh, we can make like,

a tripped-out surfer video.

Ah, that sounds fun.

[Veasna]

But it has to have a narrative.

You can make a surfer video

that has a narrative.

Could be a summer love story.

[Veasna] You know, that's

a real suck job of an idea.

For real. Total suck job.

[Jimmy] Hey,

I might have something.

[Robin] What you got, brother?

The Devil's Stomping Ground.

[Veasna] Ooh,

that sounds awesome.

Wait, what's that?

Uh, it's a real place.

Not far from here,

and near Asheboro.

Apparently

there's a circle of ground

back in the woods that...

nothing ever grows in.

[sighs] Yeah, uh, legend has it

that the Devil stomps

around there late at night

and plots his evil deeds.

-That sounds scary.

-[Jimmy] Yeah. Yeah.

It says that those

who have dared just staying out

in the circle at night

are never the same afterwards.

Never the same how?

Mentally.

Uh, says that

they have a hard time

focusing and fall into these

self-destructive behaviors

that have, in most cases,

led to strange

and untimely deaths.

[Dexter] Oh.

I don't like this.

[Veasna] Liz,

it's just a folk legend.

Veasna, you know, not everyone's

into horror films.

Not everyone

has a brain, either.

Oh! Oh, easy ladies.

All right?

Far be it for me

to break up a catfight,

but, uh, priorities.

-So.

-[Zack] Oh.

Yeah, that's not a bad idea.

But Veasna has a point.

It does need to be a narrative.

So what's the plot?

Uh, well, we could make it

about a group of college kids

who decide to test the legend,

and go up there

with the intention

of stayin' the night.

And of course,

things go horribly wrong

for them.

[Jimmy] Of course.

-[Zack] Yeah.

-[Veasna] Yay. Yep.

That's perfect. Yeah, uh...

we'll need

that production van, and, uh,

I'm gonna want tha--

the red camera.

Okay. Well, sh*t.

Let me hit up Claypool.

-[Jonah] All right.

-[Trevor] All right.

[Jake] [indistinct]

[Zack] Jimmy,

can you start on the script?

I already have, brother.

And can you cast Kelly

as the lead?

I already am. [chuckles softly]

Yay, I love you both.

Hey, do you think you can get us

three other actors,

-uh, play your co-stars?

-[Kelly] Yeah, sure thing.

Sweet, yeah, we'll need a, uh,

a hot Gypsy chick,

a hot surfer dude,

and a young male priest.

Nice!

[Jimmy] Yeah. All about our age.

Wow, okay.

So I get to be the lead

and the casting director, too?

Wow!

And my cousin, Robert's,

in seminary school

up in Fayetteville,

and he's always

wanted to do some acting.

-I'll give him a call.

-Perfect!

[Jimmy] Yeah, Fayetteville's

actually right on the way there.

-Yeah.

-[door clicks open]

Yo, yo, yo. Check it, all right?

-Claypool says we're good to go.

-[Jonah] All right.

So long

as we take care of the van,

we take care of the gear,

but most importantly,

we're punctual

bringin' that sh*t back.

Did we get the red camera?

[Jake] Dude,

we got the red camera, that's--

-Hell yeah!

-[Jake] As long as you guys go

-and get it, bro. Yeah.

-[Jonah] Oh.

[Jake] But yo, for real, listen.

Most importantly...

Monday morning?

Gotta bring that back.

So here's the plan.

Go up there tomorrow.

We film all day Saturday.

And then we bus it back

down Sunday.

Easy peasy.

And how does that work

in regards to the script?

Uh, perfect, yeah.

We're only sh**ting one scene

here on campus,

and the rest of it

will be on the road

and at the

Devil's Stomping Ground.

[Willow]

The Devil's Stomping Ground?

I've heard of that. Oh, God.

My mom used to call it the,

uh, the Devil's Tramping Ground.

Oh, you must have

a really cool mom..

She's all right.

So, um,

judging from the title,

it sounds like you may need

some special effects makeup?

-[Jake] Uh, Jonah?

-[Jonah] Uh, Jimmy?

I can certainly

write it that way. [chuckles]

-Cool!

-[Jake] All right.

This is most epic! All right.

Everyone, let's get

a good night's sleep tonight.

It's gonna be

a righteous day tomorrow.

-[Jake cheering]

-[Robin] It's all right.

[ominous music playing]

You always did want

to get up my skirt,

-didn't you, Dante?

-[Dante scoffs]

Yeah. Who wouldn't?

You're so sweet.

You gotta love this

behind-the-scenes action.

The director's girlfriend,

and leading lady,

is already flirtin'

with the sound dude.

Hey, no, I'm not!

Seriously, Robin?

[Robin]

Just statin' the obvious.

You can't show that to Jonah.

[Robin] Oh, yeah. We won't.

We'll edit it out,

right, Trevor?

[Trevor] Yeah, man,

it's-- it's no problem.

[Robin] Oh.

Dr. Claypool!

What an honor

to finally meet you.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, is there where I slap

some sense into you,

-or put you on a leash?

-All right.

-Where's Jake?

-Oh.

Professor Marty!

Oh, my man, how you doin'?

Yeah, what's the deal, bro?

How you feelin', man?

Long time no see.

Likewise, man,

but thank you very much.

We appreciate you doin'

all this, hookin' us up.

So, you wanna be responsible

for takin'...

this motley crew on the road?

Motley crew.

Ordinarily, no,

but, uh, these guys got

a really good concept,

so I'm in.

Ay, we don't want

to spoil the plot

-before the big premiere.

-Eh.

Okay. Let's just say

we got a good concept, yeah?

-Yeah, real?

-All right.

Sounds intriguin'.

Nice work, man. Um.

Mind if I stick around and,

uh, observe a little bit?

-No, not a problem, man.

-Of course.

-You do your thing.

-All right.

-Good to see you, brother.

-You too.

-Be well.

-All right.

Tiki torches. Yes.

There's many times

when we're going round

-Hey. I got it.

-Oh.

-Thanks, Zack.

-Yeah.

-I appreciate your help.

-It's no problem.

And I bought everything

You don't talk very much,

do you?

I say things sometimes.

Well, like,

just now you said something.

That was so cool.

Okay, um,

I can try to talk more.

No, it's okay, I totally get it.

And, like, why do anything

you're not fully committed to?

It's like, the basic

premise of Method Acting.

You go all in, all the time.

[Jake] Okay, everyone

to their one marks, please!

Kelly?

-[Jake] Thank you.

-Hi.

[Jake] Your one mark's that.

Good.

Last looks!

[Dexter] Found it. Found it!

Oh, I love it!

This is gonna put me right where

I need to be for my character.

Mm-hmm. I'm so glad you approve,

Ginger, darling.

[Jake] Jonah!

Hello, my leading ladies.

Ready to make cinematic history?

Yeah. Feeling good.

Let's-- let's do this.

The Devil's Stomping Ground,

scene one, take one, marker.

[Jonah] Camera's

in the one position.

No beads, remember.

On the girls?

[Ginger] Oh, yeah. sh*t.

[Liz] Sorry!

-[Jonah] No worries.

-[Trevor sighs]

[Liz] Okay.

Set!

[Jonah] And action!

I think we should do it.

And this place is only, like,

two hours from here.

It's more like three, but...

-[all chuckling]

-What place?

Ah, this crazy place.

It's called

the Devil's Stomping Ground.

Woah, sounds pretty radical.

-Yeah, it's near Asheboro.

-What is it?

Physically, it's a patch of land

in the woods

where no vegetation grows.

Been that way for centuries.

But according to legend,

the reason that nothing grows

within that circle

is because the Devil

goes there late at night,

stomps around the bonfire,

plotting his evil deeds.

They say he who sleeps

upon the trampled circle

will be forever changed.

And not in a good way.

-[Ginger giggling]

-Cool. Sounds pretty spooky.

Mama hates when I talk about

the Devil's Stomping Ground.

She calls it

the Devil's Tramping Ground.

Ginger's mom is a psychic.

She's famous

on the Internet and stuff.

-Yeah, she's hot sh*t.

-She is.

I mean, she's done like,

three exorcisms.

Yeah, and two were

actually successful.

Every time I bring it up,

Mama makes me swear

I'll never go there.

And yet that's exactly

what she's trying

to get me to do with her.

Well, that sounds far out.

When?

-This weekend.

-Tonight.

Right, so, just a second.

You wanna go three hours

to a place called

the Devil's Tramping Ground,

to spend

the night there tonight.

Yes!

Let's test the theory.

What's the worst

that could happen?

We could be forever changed.

Sounds like a blast to me.

-Guess we're in.

-Yay!

-f*ck yeah, let's do it.

-[Ginger giggling]

[Jonah] And cut!

That was great.

Let's do one more for safety.

[Robin]

This stupid tape isn't working.

[Robin sighs]

I'm gonna have to use

the MOS one with Velcro.

[Trevor] Okay, I'm on record

for being against all this.

[Robin] No.

Whatever, Trevor. Look.

[grunts]

I gotta have eyes on them

while they're shootin', okay?

So it's candid and real.

Woah! Dr. Claypool.

Uh, I didn't see you there.

What a surprise.

Why are you so nervous?

Uh. Uh.

Um, it's just that--

y-you know,

my-- my dad's

a really big fan of yours.

Um, whe-- when I was a kid,

we watched all of your

different films together,

I mean all six of 'em.

You know, and I read

all your books, too.

A real fan, huh?

Ah, don't have many of those.

Maybe I'll be nicer to you.

Yeah, I-- I'm,

like, your biggest fan.

Uh, you know, besides

my-- my dad, of course.

He-- he's your biggest fan.

Um, it's--

it's kind of funny that you--

you rolled up on me

when I w-- we-- I was planting

this cinema verit cam,

you know?

It's-- it's kind of

perfect, really.

-Say what?

-Well...

I've always admired,

you-- you know,

the realism in your films,

like, it--

your narratives

almost felt like documentaries.

You-- kinda

like cinema verit style.

Well, you know,

most of my best ideas

were born out of necessity.

We didn't have money

for coverage, you know.

We had to do things

on the cheap.

That meant scoutin' out

the best locations,

block the scenes,

find just the right places

for the cameras.

Yeah.

And sh**t

those long rolling scenes.

Yeah, like--

oh, like Citizen Kane.

-Yeah, like Citizen Kane.

-Yeah.

Well, see, that's what, like,

I'm tryin' to do in my films.

Well, somewhat. Uh, except--

I'm tryin'

to make my documentary

feel more like a narrative.

-Huh. Interesting.

-Yeah.

Well, you know.

Y'all carry on.

Yo! I told you

it was risky

to do all this

secret camera stuff.

Dude. You heard Dr. Claypool.

He said carry on.

[Jonah] And cut!

That was great. Movin' on.

[Jake] Next scene up,

our heroes pack their vehicle

and take off.

Good job, guys.

[Jonah] Back, back, back.

Yeah, and then pan over...

[pop music plays on radio]

...then boom, right there.

[eerie orchestral music plays]

-Are you guys ready?

-Yeah.

Whoa.

Look at that bag.

It's my magical

mischief satchel.

Mm-mmm.

What's in it?

Oh, just some bits of fun.

For later this evening.

Nice.

[trunk slams shut]

Cut! Perfect.

-We're done with this location.

-[Zack] Yeah.

Okay, guys,

that's the company move

to the Devil's Stomping Ground!

Let's strike the set

and prep A unit

for sh**ting in the SUV,

thank you!

Devil's Stomping Ground, huh?

Should be lovely

this time of year.

Yeah.

Me, I never been myself.

But I hear

it can be pretty exciting,

especially at night.

All right, look.

I wanted to tell you,

but Jonah, this is his baby,

and it's a secret,

and, you know it's con--

No, no worries, no worries.

Uh, it really sounds

like an excellent premise.

Look forward

to seein' the final product.

[Jake] Okay, can't wait

to show you, man.

-Yeah. Oh. Wife's here.

-Oh, right.

We're gonna be peacin' out.

Hey, Jake!

[Jake] Mrs. C,

it's good to see you.

You too! Tell your parents

I said hello, would you?

Yes, ma'am,

most certainly will.

We haven't seen them

since before COVID.

Really? Okay.

I'll let her know.

She'll be happy

to hear from you.

-Take care.

-All right. Bring it--

-Bring it in here, man.

-All right, brother.

All right, so,

I'll see you on the flipside?

[Jake] Okay.

First thing Monday morning,

you and that van.

-Bright and early.

-[Jake] Uh-huh.

-Without a scratch. You hear me?

-[Jake] Uh-huh. Copy that.

-Yeah, all right.

-Cool, take it easy.

-Thanks again, man.

-Uh-huh, sure.

Yeah, cool,

we're good to go.

Yo.

Oh, excusez-moi,

mademoiselle.

Yo, I got that, bruh.

-[Jonah] Word. Go ahead.

-[Jake] Thank you.

-[Robin] Oh, hey, hey.

-Yeah?

Dante.

Hey, listen, um.

I want to let you know

that I put a camera

in the back

of the SUV, too.

To get some footage,

you know.

While you're shootin'

in the other car.

Like a spy cam?

More like

a cinema verit cam.

Okay...

Yeah. Hey, eh.

And, um, you know, can you hook

a brother up and just run some,

like, B-Roll audio, you know,

before and after

and in between shoots,

just so I can have

some matchin' audio?

Don't all GoPro

have built-in sounds?

Some do, but, you know,

I could just only get

the MOS One to stick

to the batch--

back of the hatchback,

it's-- it's got

the Velcro thingy.

Um, why can't we

just tell 'em?

Well, if we tell 'em,

then they'll be acting,

and it won't be real, won't be

an unfiltered, you know.

All right, but, uh,

if they find out, look,

I had nothin' to do with it.

Hey. They said that you're

the best sound dude around.

-[Dante] Whatever, man.

-Yeah, they're right.

Okay, guys, it's time

to get saddled up, please.

-Let's get up in the van.

-[Dante] Hey, Jimmy,

can I get the script

for Scene Five?

[Jimmy] Uh, yeah,

you just need the script.

-There you go.

-[Dante] Thanks, man.

[Jake] Wait, wait. You guys,

you still got the $100

I gave you for gas,

food, all that?

-Yep.

-[Jake] Okay, cool.

Let's get inside, brother.

Watch your legs,

watch your arms.

Okay.

You guys be safe, all right?

[Jonah] Thanks.

[Robin] Get that.

Bring your phones, yeah.

[Robin]

Jake, your jacket's there.

-[Jake] Thanks, bro.

-[Robin] Boss man.

[Robin] Yeah, you can stop

rollin' now, Trevor.

Okay, man,

well, I was gonna, but no,

you just gotta shut it

in my face.

Like, I need to get the shot

when I'm going in.

[Robin] Too late.

[country music playing on radio]

You are listening to Zack Radio,

ladies and gentlemen.

All the greatest songs

that you've never heard.

That song

was really dope, Zack.

-What else you got?

-Ooh, let's see.

[Robin] I wanna get to know

these guys back here.

Warm them up for interviews.

Okay, man. [scoffs]



k*ll the noise, guys.

You know that

microphone's been jacked,

and I don't want it

messin' up the food.

Yo, who the hell wrote--

You know what, y'all just gonna

get what I'm orderin', then.

I can't even read that, bro.

[eerie string music plays]

[Kelly] No way.

There's actually

a Devil's Tramping Ground Road?

[Ginger]

Yeah, I know. Crazy, right?

Wow.

Can't believe

I've never heard of it.

It's been there way longer

than you've been alive.



[phone chimes]

Okay, so, um,

I was supposed to go visit

my cousin, Robert, this weekend,

up at his school

in Fayetteville,

and I kinda cancelled so that

we could do this instead.

Okay. And?

Well, uh, I sort of mentioned

to him what we were doing,

and he asked

if he could tag along.

Since he, you know,

hates to be alone,

and kinda has nothing to do

this weekend now, because of me.

Why didn't you

mention this before?

Well, he just responded

to my text, like, just now.

And...

I thought he was angry.

I don't know, Kelly,

I really don't feel like

fending off some random dude,

while we're camping

alone in the woods.

Oh, don't worry.

Robert's a seminary student,

he's sworn all of that off.

For real?

Yep, he is no threat at all.

Trust me.

Okay, well, then.

I guess it's okay.

[Kelly] Cool.

[swelling string music plays]

[knocks on car door]

Hey, Robert!

So good to see you.

These are my friends,

Drew and Ginger.

Guys,

this is my cousin, Robert.

-[Robert sighs]

-We grew up together.

-Oh, uh, Drew? Ginger?

-Mm-hmm.

It's a pleasure

to meet you both.

[Drew] Yeah.

[Robert] Okay. Well.

[Robin] So, Elizabeth.

Do you have secrets that

you'd like to share with us?

[eerie music plays]

Sure. I know a secret.

[Robin] Spill it.

-Veasna has a crush on Jonah.

-I knew it.

Who doesn't have

a crush on Jonah?

Uh, I, for one,

do not have a crush on Jonah.

I mean, he's cool and all,

but that's about

as far as it goes for me.

[phone buzzing]

Speak of the Devil.

Hey, Jonah,

what's up, man?

Yeah, I was just about to send.

And boom. Headin' your way.

[Robin]

It should be on the way now.

-[Kelly] Got it.

-[Drew] Yeah, me, too.

[Jonah] Okay, nice.

So, can the three of you guys

look over your lines,

and Kelly, would you mind

reading the parts for Ginger?

[Kelly] Sure thing, babe,

but it looks like

only Robert and Ginger

have dialogue in this one.

I don't know, we're gonna

have to take this shot.

Here, here, why don't just

use the GoPro for the setup?

I'm writing

my graduate thesis,

and I was figurin'

this little adventure

could help me

with some inspiration.

Are you writing

about demonic possession?

No, uh, probably--

probably not that, exactly.

Can be a little lonely

sometimes, up at school.

All my friends, they're--

they're also in seminary.

Let's just say

I've always enjoyed,

uh, hanging out

with regular people.

Like my cousin.

Gives me

new perspectives to consider.

Broadens my horizons.

So...

you've never had sex before?

[Robert chuckles nervously]

That's kind of a--

a personal question, isn't it?

Yeah, you're-- you're right.

I'm sorry.

I was just-- just curious.

N-- no-- no.

I-- I shouldn't make

such a big deal of it, right?

Yes. I have.

Once.

I was 15.

-Was she that bad?

-No, no, no.

Wasn't her.

All right? It was me.

It was all a really

freaked-out mistake, actually.

In the end,

she terminated our baby.

Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry. That's terrible.

No, no.

It was all my fault.

I was only thinking

about my selfish desires.

No, no,

I'm sure you did

what any red-blooded

15-year-old boy would do.

Uh, I don't know.

Like, that night,

when I-- when I found out,

I got right on my knees,

and I just--

I-- I begged God

for mercy.

I swore to him that I would

never sin in such a way again.

You really shouldn't be

so hard on yourself.

[Jonah] Okay, cut.

Dang, bro, you have to

be all up on my girlfriend?

Hey, man, what-- I'm just doin'

what the script calls for.

If you got a beef,

just take it up

with your brother

from another mother.

[Jonah] Hey, man.

Hey, what's up.

Why are you writing in

all this kissing stuff?

Uh, be-- because

it's what the, uh--

-the story calls for it.

-[Jonah] Yes.

But do they really have to

make out so much?

Hey, listen. Relax, dude.

It's-- you know,

it's just pretending.

It's what actors do.

You know, that-- they act.

[Jonah sighs]

All right, man.

All right, picture's up.

Let's run that one again.

And action!

[Robin] So, we're here

with Zack Russell,

gaffing prodigy

-and overall electrical wizard.

-[Zack clicks his tongue]

So tell me, Zack,

why the radio station?

What makes you gravitate

towards that?

Well, you see, Robin,

my dad works in a factory.

Up before sunrise,

[indistinct] after sundown.

He comes home in the dark,

eats supper and goes to bed.

Does the same thing

each and every night.

Interesting.

So, tell me more.

Well, his favorite part

of the day was right before bed.

He listened

to his classical music.

I remember,

when I was little,

I went into his room one night,

and I asked him,

"Why do you love

classical music so much?"

And he said,

"Because it sets me free,"

in his very tired voice.

I get it, man.

That's nice.

But do you have any other

secrets you'd like to share?

Oh, no, no, no.

My mother told me

to never keep secrets,

and that honest people

have nothing to hide.

[gasps] Oh, my gosh,

I love these guys!

-Winston Sun Dream?

-For real?

You've actually heard

of Winston Sun Dream?

Yeah! My favorite track

is "Lines Through Me."

Huh.

It ain't no secret

that I'm a woman

trapped in a man's body.

I mean, I pretty much

wear that one on my sleeve.

[Robin]

Yeah, you got that right.

Well...

what do you think

about this, though?

Some people say

it's a choice

to be a person like yourself.

And, you know,

other people say

it's not a choice.

And like that song goes,

you're just

kind of born that way.

You know?

What camp do you fall into?

Honestly, if I'm being

straight with you,

I'd say it has more to do

with the f*cked-up sh*t

that happened to me

when I was a boy.

But I don't want to

get into all that, though.

I prefer to stay

on the sunny side of life.

[Robin] Oh, God.

You know,

with all these song references,

we're gonna have

one hell of a soundtrack.

So what do you have to say,

Willow?

What do you want me to say?

[Robin]

Well, this is all about you.

This is your time.

Don't you have

any deep, dark secrets

that you'd like to unload?

I'm kind of a private person.

[Robin]

I can sense that.

Um, uh-- no offense,

but I don't really think

that it's right to reveal

other people's secrets.

[Liz] Sorry, my bad.

Especially

if they're a friend.

I thought

that's what Robin wanted.

[Robin] All right.

You're fine, Liz.

I didn't specify.

And Willow, in regards

to holding in your own secrets,

you know, centuries

of psychological studies

have proven that

verbally expressing something

is, in fact,

the best way to defeat

the power it has over you.

That's bullshit.

Okay.

I'm a cutter. [sighs]

[Robin] Do you know

why you do that to yourself?

Yes, actually, I do.

[eerie music plays]

You think

that's why you're into, like,

the bloody special effects

makeup and stuff, or something?

I mean, obviously, right?

[Jake] Hey, hey, guys,

check it out.

-[Jimmy] Awesome.

-[Jake] [indistinct]

[Robin]

Can we stop and explore?

[Jake]

Uh, we'll have to hit it up

on the way back tomorrow,

but, uh,

cause we're losin' light,

but damn,

that looks cool.

Yo. Yeah.

There's this

really awesome, like,

old-timey lookin' ruin,

on the way up here.

You guys should stop

and sh**t a scene exploring it.

[Jake] But tell 'em

make it quick, man.

We're losin' light.

Jake says

he loves the idea, but, uh,

make it an MOS montage, and, uh,

do it on the fly,

[indistinct].

Yeah.

[Robert] Whoa, what's this?

[Ginger]

It's an old crossroads.

Like the story about that dude

who sold his soul to the Devil.

Wasn't his name Robert, too?

[Robert] Yeah. Robert Johnson.

[Ginger] You're Robert Johansen.

[Robert] Let's check it out.

["One Eye"

by Winston Sun Dream playing]

[chuckling]

Wow.

Let's play hide-and-seek.

Everybody go hide, go hide.

One, two...

three,

four, five...

six, seven...

eight,

nine,

ten!

One day I was young

And the sky blackened

with the storm

And I ran

through the streets alone

Darin' Him

to strike me down

Strike me down

Strike me down

Strike me down

One night I felt ill

[Robin] There it is, up there.

At that [indistinct].

And the harbor

haunted at my sill

We're finally here.

Trevor,

you gettin' this approach?

[Trevor] Yeah, man.

I'm gettin' it.

I held my breath,

and [indistinct] hills, still

[Robin] Wow. Finally here.

It's really kinda pretty

for a scary place.

They moved on

Hang on, guys,

I need to get out first, okay?

[Jake] Yup.

Bring them down

Looks like it's up there.

You guys watch your step,

all right?

There's a little dip.



[eerie shrieking]

So, this is it.

[clears throat] I mean,

I guess it's kinda spooky,

but it's nothin' terrifying

or anything.

[eerie chanting]

-Yeah.

-[electrical buzzing]

Yeah, it's not scary enough.

Um, check it. Dex, Willow?

Can I get you two

to work your magic,

just tryin' to spook it up,

whatever you can do?

-Yeah.

-Yeah. You got it, babe.

Okay, so I think the first scene

we're gonna do here

is when they arrive,

so maybe we could start

in the parking area?

Uh, there used to be

a bunch of graffiti out there,

do you think you could draw

some scary

and foreboding graffiti

on the road?

-Oh, yeah. I can grab the kit.

-Sweet.

And can you make a sign

or somethin'

that says

"The Devil's Stomping Ground?"

-I know just what to use.

-Sweet.

Actually, Jimmy, real quick?

Like, I appreciate

you tryin' to do my job, bro,

but, like, need you

to go back to the van

and do yours, man.

No, no,

I'm just messin' with you, man.

'Kay, well, uh,

I just figured

I'm the one writing it,

you know,

so if Jonah's not here,

-I could step up.

-Yeah, I get all that.

I know you're the writer

and whatnot, but, like,

we're here

at the Devil's Stomping Ground,

and we still don't have

the script.

See where I'm goin'?

Right. Point taken.

All right, everybody,

let's get back to work!

[country music playing]

Look at me. Yes.

[Liz]

Hey, Zack, I can help, too!

[Zack] All right.

All right, guys, on "lift."

One, two, three, lift!

-Got it?

-Yep.

All right, cool.

f*ck' teamwork

makes the dream work.

-Let's go.

-Let's go.

-Watch your step.

-[Zack] Okay.

[Jake]

Vines, thorns, all that.

[Robin grunts]

Oh, when I look

straight down

[Robin] [indistinct]

Down through the hole

in the ground

[indistinct]

[eerie music playing]

Wow.

This really is kinda creepy.

Ooh, look at this one over here.

[Drew] The Satanic Emblem.

[Drew yelling gibberish]

[chuckling]

Look, I--

I loved Motley Crue, man.

They were the sh*t

back in the day.

It was on that Rush album too,

right?

That's right, baby.

21:12.

Those bands

were very reckless,

throwing around the Devil's mark

like they did.

They didn't actually practice

witchcraft.

It was just a gimmick

to get kids' attention.

They may have thought

that's what they were doing,

but Satan works

in very deceptive ways.

[eerie music plays]

[Jonah] And cut!

All right. Hey, guys--

Jonah, Jonah,

we're losin' light, man.

Let's get up to set

for the walk up

to dead circle scene.

Please, let's go.

[eerie buzzing]

Perfect,

this is exactly what I want.

-Yo, man.

-[Jake] Yo.

We got, like,

an hour of light left.

[Jake] That is correct, man.

Stay on point. Keep it up.

Jonah!

Yo, we're dressed

and ready to go, man,

but, like, we gotta go,

all right?

-You got it, man.

-[Jake] Thank you!

Everybody in the walk position!

[eerie music playing]

[Ginger scoffing]

[Drew]

Whoa, this place is sick!

It is exactly

as I imagined it to be.

[chuckling]

It looks like

it's been used recently.

Oh, yeah? Used like how?

Well, it is called

the Devil's Stomping Ground.

Woo!

We should get some wood

for this fire pit.

It looks like

it's gonna get dark soon.

Well, shall we?

I-- I can set up our tents

if you like.

I think that's a great idea.

-[Jonah] And cut!

-[Jake] Movin' on.

-Movin' on, buddy, movin' on.

-All right. You heard the man!

Let's set up for night work.

-[Jonah] Hey, great job.

-[Ginger] Was that okay?

-[Jonah] Yeah, it was great.

-[Ginger] Great.

Are you gonna include it?

[eerie chord plays]

-[energetic rock beat plays]

-[generator roaring]

[retro music

playing from phone]

[Jake] Good stuff.

Zack, bag it, please.

-[Zack] Got it.

-[Jake] All right. Thank you.

Gotta love that movie magic.

[Trevor]

This is a good perspective

for the Watcher in the Woods

shot.

[Robin] Yeah, it's also

another form of cinema verit.

The psycho k*ller version.

Now listen, Trevor.

I'm gonna plant a few GoPros

around base camp tonight.

Okay.

I don't know about all that.

That kinda seems... dishonest?

It is not dishonest.

It's actually

the exact opposite.

It's unfiltered.

It's unvarnished.

It's as honest as sh*t gets.

Okay, okay. Cinema verit.

I won't say anything.

Excellent, my friend.

You'll come to see

that you made the right call.

[owl hoots]

You guys hear

about that serial k*ller dude?

They say

he's still on the loose.

Where, up here?

Yeah, near here.

They think he's hiding somewhere

up in the Uwharrie Mountains.

[Kelly] Oh, shut up.

You're just tryin' to scare us.

No, for real.

I saw a thing about it

on the news last night.

Yeah, I saw that too.

[Drew] Really?

Wow.

Yeah, they know who it is.

Or at least they think they do.

Yeah, apparently this guy...

was just some ordinary dude.

Then one day,

for some unknown reason...

he just disappeared.

Then several days later...

they started noticing that

young women are going missing

in this area.

Okay, I'm--

I'm looking this up.

[sighs] No service.

Police think he's k*lled

over a dozen women...

but it's been hard for them

to figure it all out, though.

'Cause, you know,

they're all dismembered.

Well, when people started

finding random body parts

along the side of the parkway,

the cops started puttin'

the pieces together.

No pun intended.

They said, it seems like

he's taunting the police.

You know that famous fatal flaw

of most serial K*llers?

They secretly

want to get caught.

So, they leave clues.

But they haven't caught

this guy yet.

-[Kelly screams]

-[Jake] Oh, what the f*ck?

Did the genny

just run out of gas?

[Jonah] Cut!

-[Zack] Uh, it shouldn't have.

-[Kelly] Guys...

Let me go check real quick.

-What is going on?

-[Jake] Thank you, sir.

[Jonah] Dang, honey,

you got goosebumps all over you.

Me, too.

[Robert] Uh, don't--

don't rub my leg, though.

[Dexter] How about me?

Can I rub it?

I'll rub it

'til the swelling goes down.

[chuckling]

They haven't caught

this guy yet.

Okay, that did it.

I'm officially scared now.

Well, come over here.

I'll protect you.

That was a spooky story.

I'm cold.

Do you think

you could come closer,

keep me warm?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

I can come closer,

if you want me to.

That sounds nice.

[Robert] Oh.



[Dexter humming]

-Oh.

-[Willow] Hey.

-Hey.

-I don't like Robert.

He's a h*m*.

Baby.

I appreciate

you taking up for me, okay?

But you don't have

to hate Robert.

He's just led a very...

different life than me.

But that's okay.

I admire you.

See, when someone slights me,

it feels like...

God, it feels like

I can't breathe,

and all I wanna do

is just hurt them back.

But I admire you, Willow.

You always have

such a caring and honest soul.

You are perhaps

the most authentic person

that I know.

-Next to my mama. [chuckles]

-[chuckles]

-And she don't play.

-That's funny.

-[faint whispering]

-Um...

you know, I-- I have

another secret other than...

[faint whispering]

And what's that?

Okay, never mind, I don't--

I don't want to talk about it

anymore.

-Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.

-I know--

No, you can't do me

like that now.

-Tell me.

-[faint whispering]

[Willow] I have a crush

on Dante. [laughs]

-I knew it.

-No, no, no, no, no.

You two

are perfect for each other.

-[Willow] You really think so?

-Yes, girl. I do.

But, uh, does Dante know?

Oh, my God. No.

I, um,

I can't do anything about it.

What? Baby.

You are a beautiful young girl,

with one hell of a personality.

What makes you think

that he wouldn't be

all about it?

I've never done

any special effects.

That's not my thing.

Dude, I get that,

but you're smart,

you're resourceful,

we need all the help we can get,

-like, man, please.

-You're not listenin'.

If you have a sound issue,

then you can come

and talk to me.

You know, man,

whatever, I can't e--

what's-- what's up, dude?

I mean, I can probably

help you out, man.

[Jake] You know what?

I appreciate that.

I don't know

why I didn't come to you first,

-so thanks.

-Hey, it's okay.

I'm usually not the first person

thought of for a lot of things.

But I mean, it's okay.

It's my non-assuming

and disarming personality

that usually causes people

to freeze

and miss the opportunity.

[Jake] Zack, you are so weird,

man, but I like you.

And I like

that f*ck' shirt, man.

-What's the deal with that?

-Well, thanks, man.

It's a movie

called Beyond the Living.

My, uh, uncle made it.

But it hasn't come out yet,

though, so...

[Jake] Word.

Good sh*t, good sh*t.

-Keep me posted, man.

-Yeah, for sure.

[Jake] All right,

but, uh, the genny.

-We saw--

-Oh, yeah, the genny.

It was already filled up.

That wasn't why it choked.

Genny just failed

for some reason.

-[Jake] That's weird, man.

-Yeah, I mean it's no biggie.

Everything chokes

every now and again.

[Jake] All right, well,

f*ck it, it's good now.

Thank you, I really appreciate

you doin' that.

All right. Liz, wait up!

Oh, sh*t!

Veasna unmasked?

What's the deal with that?

Um, well, nobody else

is wearing one, obviously,

and we're probably

all already sick,

and are gonna

die by now anyways,

so what's the frickin' point?

So, if you can't beat 'em,

join 'em.

You are crazy. [chuckles]

Just messin' with you, man.

But, hey. Can I...

-say something?

-Mm, yeah. Sure.

All right, look, like,

I don't wanna be weird

or anything,

and if you don't like

what I gotta say, f*ck me,

you know, but...

like, I kinda dig you a bit.

Like, I feel like

I've been puttin' the vibes out,

and on some level,

I thought you and--

I don't know, now there's just,

like, this weird rumor

that you got a thing

for Jonah or somethin'.

Wait, where the hell

did you hear that?

Like, Liz.

We were bustin' it up here,

and, you know,

f*ck' Robin's

in the back doin' interviews

about whatever,

and it just kinda came up.

Oh, my God.

It's just so embarrassing.

Mm, I mean,

who else knows about this?

Besides everyone in the van?

[Veasna roars]

[Jake sharply exhales]

[eerie orchestral music playing]

So...

are you allowed to kiss girls?

Well, technically my vow

-is about sexual intercourse.

-Mm.

It's just that things

like kissing, they--

well, they-- they intensify

the temptation to--

[chuckles]

There.

You didn't burst into flames.

No, it--

it doesn't work like that.

So, you don't wanna

kiss me again?

I absolutely do.

Then shut up and kiss me.



[Jonah] Cut!

[sinister tones]

Jimmy, can I speak to you,

please?

[faint whispering]

So, what are you makin' here?

A porno?

My man, uh,

calm-- calm down.

This is all

for a huge payoff in the end.

Trust me.

You're gonna love it.

I don't love it.

Kelly and I are in love.

Yeah. I know. We-- we all know.

Jonah, that's my point.

Everyone knows

you and Kelly are a thing.

Yeah.

-Oh, I get it.

-What?

You're jealous and secretly

lusting after my girlfriend.

That's why you're writing

all this sex stuff.

-Just to get yourself off.

-What-- no.

Dude, that's not true at all.

What--

Some f*ck' friend you are!

Dude, it's not like that, man.

Listen, I--

-[Jake] Yeah, yo. Guys.

-I wanted--

Hey. Hey. Listen, man.

We gotta wrap this up, okay?

We got a lot of stuff to sh**t

before dawn.

Please, like...

There's only one more scene

with kissing in it,

and--

and it's mostly off-camera.

Trust me on this.

[Zack] I wish I had a jacket

right about now.

-It is gonna get--

-You f*cking b*tch!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.

Can't believe you told everyone!

You know how f*cking

embarrassing this is?

Veasna, calm down.

Shut up, Zack!

f*ck you both.

[faint whispering]

[Liz]

I'm really sorry, Veas.

Is there

anything I can get for you?

No, Liz. You can't.

Just-- just stay away from me.

[Robin]

That's a bummer, huh?

This is all your fault, Robin.

[romantic

orchestral music playing]

-Let's go in our tent.

-Okay.

Oh, we're gonna go into our tent

for a little while.

[Robert] I wonder what

they're gonna do.

It's not that hard

to figure out.

[tent zipper whizzing]

[rustling]

[Kelly faintly moaning]

They sound like

they're having fun.

[moaning]



It's okay.

I'm on the pill.

[moaning]

[Robert chuckling]

[Jonan] Cut!

That was great.

If you say so, man.

So, movin'

on to the white gag scene?

Yeah, that's right.

-Zack, we ready to go, man?

-Yeah, man.

Me and Liz are all over it.

It was, like,

ten minutes to prep.

-That f*ck' b*tch.

-Come on, Liz.

Oh, shut up already.

You guys wanna do something fun?

What's that?

Let's test a theory.

See if this really is

the Devil's Stomping Ground.

Yeah, sounds rad to me.

What do you have in mind?

I could lead us in a sance.

-Like your mom does?

-[Ginger] Something like that.

I won't be as good

as she is, but...

maybe being here will help,

if there is anything to here?

In a sance,

the goal is to contact

specific people who have died.

Who are we attempting

to contact?

Saint John!

Dang it, Drew.

You scared me again.

Let's do it!

Yeah? Awesome. Okay.

Let's join hands.

Close your eyes, everybody.

[Ginger exhales]

Oh, great morning star.

We have come to this place

seeking your wisdom.

You fell from the heavens

of your own accord,

and you created a kingdom

with vast powers

forged in fire

and became greater

than thou's creator.

Dear Lucifer,

if you are here with us

in your tramping ground circle,

give us a sign,

so we can proclaim our love

and loyalty to you!

I don't know about this.

Dammit, this sh*t

is really freaking me out.

-[Jake] Zack!

-[Zack] I'm on it!

[Liz] You know

what's causing it to choke?

Uh, no, not really.

Genny looks like

it's got plenty of gas,

-so, I mean, that's not it.

-[Liz] Hmm.

[Zack] Tell you what,

will you hold in that button

-right there?

-[Liz] Holding.

[Zack] All right.

-[generator whirring]

-[Liz] Nice!

-[both laughing]

-I guess we make a great team.

[Zack]

Yeah. I think we do, too.

-[Robin] Y'all are so adorable.

-Robin!

[tense chord]

Dude, you're asking for it.

[Robin] Sorry, Liz.

We'll-- we'll cut this out.

Right, Trevor?

[Trevor] Hey, do not try

and put this off on me.

Put what off?

There's nothin' to put off.

-We're gonna cut it out.

-[Trevor] Okay.

Whatever you say, bro.

Oh, great Lucifer,

if you are here with us

in this place

of your tramping ground,

give us a sign,

so we can proclaim our love

and loyalty to you.

Nothing.

Thankfully.

[distant rustling]

Geez, Ginger.

I think we need to introduce

a physical medium.

Wha--

No, no, no, no, no.

I don't know about this.

Yeah, Ginger,

I've had some bad experiences

with spirit boards.

Come on, guys, what--

none of this is real,

so why get all tweaked

over it?

Everyone needs to move closer.

Put their fingers

on the planchette.

Planchette?

Cool word.

I used to just

call it a pointer.

You guys know

that spirit boards

are connected

to demonic possessions...

right?

Dude, just chill.

We're just trying

to have some fun, brother.

You're one of the good ones,

Robert.

You have nothing

to worry about.



Dear Lucifer.

Rebel, warrior,

and ruler of the great abyss.

[faint chanting]

If you are here,

show us your presence.

We have come here

to seek you out.

Are we here in vain?

One of you is moving it.

And how will we be doing that?

You would be able to tell,

don't you think?

Guys,

it just spelled out Satan!

[Drew laughing]

You guys are lame.

I was moving it the whole time.

Did you do that, too?

Guys...

we made contact.

This is a breakthrough, we...

we need to go further.

No, we don't.

That's far enough for me.

[Robert] I'm with Kelly.

We need to end this.

This place is evil.

We need to just pack our bags,

and-- and go home.

There is nothing to be gained

from staying here any longer.

[Drew] Look at ol' Robert.

Trying to team up with my girl

and spoil a good time.

What is wrong with you, Drew?

Wha-- nothing, babe, wha--

I'm just trying

to have some fun tonight, so--

so why do you two

keep on trying to ruin it?

[Jonah] And cut!

[cast members cheering,

applauding]

-[man] All right.

-[woman] Yay!

-[Zack] Nice.

-[Jake] Zack, Liz, good job.

-That was beautiful!

-[Jonah] Hey, Veasna.

Can we check playback

to make sure it was good

-as we think it was?

-Yeah. Sure.

-[all cheering]

-[Jake] Yeah.

-Yeah, are we movin' on?

-Moving on.

Okay, guys, that is lunch.

We got food and drinks

set up at base camp.

Actors, please,

front of the line, thank you.

Technically, this should be

second lunch, okay?

We've been workin'

since 10 a.m.!

[Jake] Yeah, well, technically,

this ain't a union show,

if it were, I'd be fired.

So, cut the chatter,

eat your lunch, man,

'cause we gotta get back in

to finish this bad boy.

At the stroke of midnight.

-[all] Ooh!

-Yeah, ooh!

That's right,

please, go eat, guys.

Thank you.

So, Jimmy, what's next?

We're almost to the end,

and I don't know

where this is going.

Yeah, uh, just give me a second.

I want to go talk to Willow.

Talk to Willow? What about me?

I'm the director,

I don't even know

what the next scene is!

I just want to make sure

we can do the beginning

before I tell you.

It involves special effects

makeup and stuff.

I'll be right back.

[Jonah]

Can you believe this sh*t?

Yeah. I believe it.

People just aren't trustworthy.

[Dexter] Or perceptive.

[menacing string music playing]

[Willow] Hey, Dante.

Um, I just wanted

to let you know...

Hey, Dante, would you like

to maybe go on--

in the woods with me?

Oh, my God.

[sighs]

Hey.

Do you like what you see?

[Jimmy]

Hey, Willow, you in here?

Yeah. Yes, I'm just doing

some makeup tests.

-What's up?

-That hair stuff is nice.

-Um.

-Thanks.

Do you have

any of those knives, you know,

the ones with, like,

the retractable blades and such?

Oh, yeah. Yes, I do.

Here, take your pick.

Some are, uh, some are rubber,

some are plastic,

some are retractable

and some are real.

Wow, holy sh*t, Willow,

that's awesome.

-[chuckles] Thank you.

-Yeah.

[Jake] f*ck' argue

in front of the crew,

but what,

you're not gonna eat your food?

[Jonah] I'm not flippin' hungry.

I don't wanna eat.

Dude, why are you f*ck'

doin' this, b*tch.

Man, just shut the f*ck up.

I don't have a f*cking

script to work with!

f*ck the f*cking script,

you have the f*cking note, man.

What the f*ck

do you want me to do, man?

Jonah, Jonah, Jonah, Jonah.

Hey. What's up, man?

[Jake] f*ck' sick of you.

[Jonah] Wow!

Okay.

So now

you gonna tell the ending?

Yes.

[footsteps rustling]

[menacing electronic music]

-Hey, Trevor.

-'Sup, dude.

[Trevor] Hey, guys, just gettin'

some B-roll for the doc.

[Robin whispering] Trev, Trev,

Trev, Trev, Trev, Trev, Trev.

Hey, [indistinct].

Hey, had to show you something.

Beyond the air tent.

Right now. Come with me.

[Robin panting]

All right, dude.

So I was downloading

the-- the camera,

the-- the verit footage.

[sniffs]

I was skimmin' through it.

I found somethin'.

Like, some paranormal sh*t?

[panting] Dude. Not quite.

Check this out.

[Robin panting heavily]

You hid a cam

in their tent, too?

What the f*ck, Robin?

How many GoPros did you hide?

No, dude, this is--

this is about what they did.

[sighs]

You need to just stop, man.

All right? You're goin'

too far with this spying stuff.

And yeah, what the f*ck

were those guys thinking?

Like, I guess if I was Drew

I might try the same thing,

but still.

Yeah.

It's f*cked up, dude.

She cheated on her boyfriend.

All while

he was directing her in a scene,

and he didn't even

know about it.

Seriously sneaky.

-Yeah, it's sleazy, too, right?

-Yeah.

Everyone's starting to act

a little weird.

Interesting.

Why do you say that?

Like, you know, more emotional?

Like, meaner?

Haven't you noticed?

[Dante] Oh. Hey, Willow.

How are you doing?

[Willow] Hey, Dante.

I'm good, I'm just...

Keep rolling man, keep rolling.

-[Willow] ...really tired.

-[Dante] Yeah, no,

they've been working us

like dogs out here.

[Willow] Yeah, I know.

-Um, wait, Dante.

-Yeah?

I want to talk

to you about something,

but I don't really know

how to say it.

Well, I mean...

it's just us in here,

so why don't you just say it?

[ominous whispering]

Um.

Oh, uh...

[ominous whispering]

I think you're hot.

[chuckles] You do?

I do.

God, I've wanted to tell you

for so long,

and I didn't really know

how you felt about me,

I just-- I want to--

I-- I--

would you like

to have sex with me?

I mean, I--

I think

you're pretty cute, Willow.

-Even a bit sexy.

-Thank you.

-[ominous whispering]

-But...

those cuts on your arm

are so damn unattractive.

I mean, look,

I'm 22 years old,

and I'm about to head

to the prime of my life,

and the last thing I need

is someone

with that kind of baggage, I--

-[eerie buzzing]

-I...

Right?

Can-- do you--

[Dante] No.

Wow.

You see what I mean?

That was really cold!

Yeah, dude.

I think he's goin',

let's go!

[eerie instrumental playing]

Hey, guys.

[Trevor] Hey, Willow.

What were you doing

back there?

[Robin] Uh, we were just

wanderin' around,

enjoying the woods.

We didn't hear anything.

[Trevor] Yeah,

and even if we did,

we'd edit it out.

Right, Robin?

[Robin]

Yeah, well, we didn't,

so it's not gonna be

a thing, Trevor.

Let's go.

Oh, looks like there's

a little second unit on the way.

Cut! That's great.

Let's get ready

for the campfire scene.

How are we lookin', Jake?

[Jake] Uh, looking good.

Picture's up in five,

last looks.

[Jonah]

Shouldn't you be writing?

[Jimmy] Yeah.

[ominous chanting]

[Jonah] Last looks.

Lunch is over, Willow!

I'm sorry, Jonah.

I'm sorry.

You feelin' okay, honey?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Okay, I'm trying

to stay in character.

[Trevor] Yes, ma'am.

Come on, Willow.

[Jake] Okay, picture's up!

[Jonah] All right,

roll sound!

-[Zack] Sound's speeding.

-[Jonah] Roll camera.

[Veasna] Set.

[Jonah] And action!

[Drew] Hey, guys.

Found it.

Nice going, dude.

[Drew] Yeah,

It caught some major air.

It was, like, 50 feet

in the woods, back that way.

Do we really wanna

try this again?

I don't.

Seriously?

I just spent half an hour

looking for that thing.

It's just that this isn't

the first time that crazy stuff

has happened to me

while messing

with spirit boards.

Yeah? So?

[Ginger] Yeah, we're just having

a little bit of fun.

Right, guys?

f*ck yeah.

I love this sh*t!

Me too.

Okay, guys,

this is not going to work

unless we all want it to.

Let's test this crazy legend

once and for all.

[ominous instrumental playing]

Father of Darkness,

we can feel

your presence with us tonight.

[ominous chanting]

It is the midnight hour.

Your hour of tramping.

If you are indeed with us,

give us a sign.

[wind whooshing]

Then, stake your claim,

and take us for your own!

[ominous chanting continues]

Whoa, nice.

That book is wicked.

Like you are, Andrew.

Wicked indeed.

And unholy.

What are you two

so scared about?

This is awesome!

Fear of the unknown

is a big thing

in conformist societies.

There is nothing mysterious

about what you are trying

to do here, Ginger.

It's unholy,

and quite frankly...

I don't want any part of it!

Oh, no!

Robert doesn't approve,

it's unholy.

It is.

And to sit here,

and watch you

practically beg Satan

to come,

and take your soul away,

it's revolting.

And I will not be

a part of it anymore.

You know what I find revolting?

People...

who make promises,

and go back on their word

for selfish reasons.

If I made an oath

to my Lord and Savior,

and then,

broke that covenant

for a mere 20 seconds

of pleasure,

I might feel

pretty bad about myself.

And I might also think

that my Lord

would be angry with me,

and no longer

want to be my Savior.

Wait, did you guys have sex?

You can call it that.

I've had car accidents

that lasted longer.

Wow,

you are not a good person.

Oh, come on, Kelly.

Never said I was.

Whatever, guys,

can we just get back

to the sance, now, please?



[inhaling, exhaling deeply]

Great warrior,

ruler of the abyss,

light in the darkness,

creator of true freedom,

release us from convention,

conformity, morality,

make our souls yours.

[ominous chanting]

And by your power...

I have an offering.

Take this failed attempt

of a priest.

This oath-breaker.

'Cause not just this evening,

he broke his oath

with the Lamb.

And is no longer

in His good graces!

Help me!

[Ginger speaking

in other language]

[ominous chanting intensifying]

[Robert] ...Blessed is the fruit

of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary.

Please pray for us sinners,

now, and at

the time of our death. Amen!

[Ginger whimpering, panting]

[chanting ends]

-[crew applauding]

-[Jake] Great job, guys!

[Jake] Next shot,

grand finale.

Willow, I need you

to work that magic.

-[Willow] Okay. Thank you.

-[Jake] Awesome.

[Dexter] You got this, girl.

Okay? Let's go.

[Jonah] Hey, Kelly,

will you come

with me real quick?

I gotta change

a battery in your pack.

[Kelly] Copy that.

[Robert] Interesting.

Um, so,

does it bother you

that the Holy Bible

says it's a crime against God

to be a h*m*?

It might.

If I believed

in the Holy Bible.

But I don't.

'Cause it never believed in me.

Well,

there are therapies for that.

[Willow] Okay.

Drew's all done,

I'm going for a walk.

Hey, man.

Willow's headin' out for a walk.

Let's follow her

from a distance.

You mean spy on her?

Yes, dammit.

I mean to spy on her,

that's the style of film

we're making.

Don't you get that?

Yeah. I get it.

[ominous buzzing]

[Robin] Turn the light off.

Turn the light off.

[Willow whimpering]

[Trevor] I can't believe

I've let you bring me down

to this level.

[Robin] What level?

Dude. Trevor.

Come on.

This sh*t

is gonna be brilliant, man.

We already f*cking shot

two sex scenes already.

We could make a porno

if we wanted to.

I thought you said we were

gonna edit all that stuff out.

Yeah, we will.

I was just kidding

about the pornos.

I'm goin' back to set.

Yeah. Okay, copy that.

I'll meet you there.

I'm gonna go take a leak.

She has a nice setup,

don't want it to all be--

Jonah. Jimmy. Dudes.

Oh, f*ck. [panting]

I got so much--

I got a question.

What gives?

[panting] Okay, so...

say you have a friend,

you know,

and that friend's wife

or girlfriend

did somethin'

to hurt somebody, okay?

And at the same time,

they're getting

majorly betrayed, okay?

Would you just sit back,

and let it happen,

or would you tell 'em?

What are you saying, man?

Okay, so, as a director, right,

you'll-- you'll get this.

Um, I'm making my documentary

in like a cinema verit style,

you know, like--

ultrarealistic and uncoached.

I'm familiar with the style.

Right, right, I--

I figured you would be, okay?

So, um,

in doing that, I--

I planted some, you know,

verit cams around,

you know, base camp

to get some hidden footage.

What?

Dude, you've been spying on us?

-That's ridiculous.

-I understand why.

Go on.

I accidentally found

somethin' I feel like

you need

to be made aware of.

[sighs] f*ck.

Oh, God.

Okay, here it is.

[moaning]

There's more.

There's more.

[sighs] And this one.

You think this is funny?

No. No, I was--

You m*therf*cker!

I bet you're smiling

'cause you wanna do

the exact same thing!

[Willow]

I know. I-- I know.

-I know. I know. I know.

-[ominous chanting]

[Trevor] Hey,

who are you taking to, Willow?

Don't you see it?

In the fire?

-[ominous chanting]

-[Robin] All I see is fire.

[Jonah] I also remember how you

tried to steal Jennifer when...

[Trevor whispering] Yo.

Did you show Jonah those--

those videos?

Yeah.

[Trevor] Right,

well, if they ask me,

I know nothing

about your hidden spy cams.

Yeah.

Okay, Trevor, I get it.

Officially under the bus.

You've hit me with it,

like, twice already.

[Jonah] From

the beginning of this,

I asked you to tone down

all the sex stuff,

but you wouldn't listen!

Writing all this sex stuff

with Kelly is probably

what caused this sh*t

to even happen!

You are a treacherous f*ck!

Oh, f*ck.

Places, everyone!

Let's finish this f*cking thing!

Um...

yeah, you heard the guy.

Picture's up in five.

Get your marks.

What the f*ck

is goin' on, bro?

-Get the f*ck away from me.

-f*ck, man, f*ck you.

Jimmy, what the f*ck

is his problem, bro?

[Robert in satanic voice]

Such a lovely name.

Ginger.

I can almost taste you.

It is my honor

to serve you,

great prince.

How shall I reward thee

for such a ripe offering?

Nothing.

Nothing is expected, dear Satan.

Ginger, what the hell

is wrong with you?

[laughing]

Why do you say it like that?

Hell is such a magical place.

Robert, can you hear me?

Kelly! I betrayed

my Lord and Savior.

And broke my sacred oath.

This is the only way

that I can win this fight.

[Robert choking]

[knife clatters]

Oh, you won, Robert.

Too bad you're dead.

[Drew] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I can take whoever I want,

whenever I want.

Let me go!

You've been trying

to stop us all night.

You k*lled my cousin!

Actually,

he k*lled himself, didn't he?

You b*tch!

f*ck' b*tch!

[ominous choral music playing]

[gasps]

[blood splattering]

I--

you really stabbed me.

[Ginger screaming]

[Drew] Hey, what the f*ck

just happened?

What the f*ck did you do?

[panting]

I'm right here, baby.

[Jake] Zack!

Put on this f*cking light!

[Zack] This is f*cked up,

[indistinct] work!

I triple-checked the knife.

I-- I know

it was the right one.

[Jonah]

I love you, baby.

-[indistinct]

-[Ginger] I'm sorry, babe,

I checked it three times.

Hey, what the f*ck?

What the f*ck is wrong--

[Ginger] Someone

must have switched it.

Someone must have switched it.

[Drew grunting]

Someone must have

switched the knife--

[ominous whispering]

[Liz and Veasna screaming]

That's two.

[Jake] What the f*ck

is goin' on?

[Trevor]

What the f*ck, dude?

[Jake] What the f*ck?

[Trevor]

She was f*cking just there.

She was just there.

She was there.

She was just there.

She was just there.

[Jimmy] Where did she go?

She snapped.

This is all too much for her.

She needs help.

Willow, it's okay.

Okay?

Are you nuts?

She just m*rder*d Kelly

and probably Ginger.

[Jimmy]

Jonah, Jonah, Jonah.

Judas,

this is all your fault!

[Jimmy] Hey, hey, wait,

we're not trying to hurt you.

-[Jimmy grunting]

-[Jake] Jonah!

[Liz and Veasna screaming]

[Jonah] m*therf*cker!

This is all your fault!

Perverted f*cking as*h*le!

Kelly's dead.

[indistinct]

the blood is everywhere!

[Jake] Hey, man, look, look.

You're gonna k*ll him.

You're gonna k*ll him.

All right?

You're gonna

f*cking k*ll him.

Just f*ck-- f*ck, man.

What the-- ugh.

[exclaims in pain]

[ominous chanting]

[Jake] m*therf*cker!

[knife clattering]

[Jake]

Hey, enough! All right?

-This is all my fault.

-[Jonah] This is all my fault.

[Robin]

Look-- look, everyone.

We need to take a moment,

and let

our cooler heads prevail.

And all I can say

is I know Jonah

just found out that Kelly

was cheatin' on him with Drew,

so his was a crime of passion.

-[Liz] Oh, God. Jonah!

-[Veasna] Jonah!

[Jake] f*ck. f*ck. f*ck.

[Jake]

What the f*ck, Willow!

-[Liz panting]

-[ominous chanting]

[Trevor] There's f*cking knives

flying everywhere.

-What the f*ck is this sh*t?

-[Jake] The f*ck is going on?

[distant screams]

[ominous whispering]

[Trevor] Oh, my God.

What the-- the f*ck.

[Robin] f*cking...

Did you find one yet?

-Mine's real.

-[Liz] What?

-[squelching]

-[Liz whimpering]

[Liz choking]

[ominous whispering intensifies]

[Veasna choking]

You had no right

to k*ll Liz!

She was beautiful!

[Jake]

Gonna f*cking k*ll you!

[Jake screaming]

-[squelching]

-[Trevor grunts] f*ck.

[Trevor coughing]

[Robin] Sorry, Trev.

[Robert grunting]

I-- I've got this demon!

-What do we do, Robin?

-[Robin] I don't know, man!

[ominous chanting]

[Robert]

No, demon! Begone, b*tch!

[Willow]

Why did you do that?

[Dexter panting]

I told him we'd meet in hell.

But he wasn't listening.

You once told me

that you would cut yourself

to draw out the pain.

But I didn't really know

what that was like.

Until now.

Goodbye.

[demonic whispering continues]

[Robin panting]

f*ck.

[birds chirping]

[Robin panting]

[Robin sobbing]

[dialing beeps]

[calling tone ringing]

[911 operator]

Chatham County 911,

what's the address

of your emergency?

["Lines Through Me"

by Winston Sun Dream]

Atlas boys

All of the lines

of the universe

Are through me

Oh, was a genius

as Jesus Christ

In his super fashion

Quickly hold the stage

And I can show you

That I could die

in the theater

To meet you

It seems so strange

To proclaim discovery

It seems to strange

To proclaim

I recognize

Authenticity

Atlas boy

The universe

will screw me

Tonight, the angels' gift

Would be on the stage

And I could

show you suicide

The final resting

To turn

It seems so strange

To proclaim discovery

In the numbness of my anger

I recognize

authenticity

[distorted screaming]

["Wrestle the Sun"

by Winston Sun Dream]

Now that you say

what you've already said

Hundred times

over again and again

Now that you say to them

you never listen

How do we get back

to [indistinct]?

How do you know

when it's safe to come out?

How do we wrestle

the sun from the clouds?

How do I settle the beast

in your heart?

How do we separate

all of these parts?



How do you tell them

I know who you are?

How do you justify

going this far?

How can you play

when you know it's a game?

And when are you done

losing for them

It's the same

And how can you love one

and not the other?

And how can you turn now

and run for cover?

This is the moment

that matters the most

The moment that you

have to own

For yourself
