Gator Face (2026) Movie Script

1
So how far is this beach?
Just right down this road.
It's really pretty.
How'd you hear about this place?
My mom came here
back in the 90s.
She said it was the best beach
in all of St. Augustine.
Last night was pretty epic.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was fun.
You know, I think that guy
really liked me.
Who?
Brad?
No. Martin?
It's Martine.
And no, the other guy.
I could not keep
up with them all.
Rick, that was his name!
Oh, God! The guy who said
he was a race car driver?
Yeah, Rick, the race car driver.
He is not a race car driver.
How do you know?
He didn't even have
his license, Sierra.
Oh! Do you have to have a
license to be a race car driver?
Yeah.
Wow!
Your mom was right.
It's beautiful.
This is going to be a great day.
What time is it?
It's almost five.
We've got to get going. We have
to be at the airport by ten.
Fuck the airport.
Let's just push our flights.
We did that yesterday.
Today is last day of vacation.
Let's just hang out
for a couple more hours.
I don't want to go either.
- Let's just stay here
and get drunk.
- I'm already drunk.
We don't have any more money.
You can just come
back at spring break.
You lie so much.
I would love to buy an old house
like this someday and fix it up.
That's a lot of fixing.
You're the laziest
person in the world.
You can't fix shit.
I would hire someone of course.
With what money?
Guys?
Nikki?
Jess?
Oh, my God.
That wasn't there
before when we walked by.
I don't remember seeing it.
Me neither.
We should call the police.
Yeah.
911,
state your emergency.
Hi, my name's Jess,
Jessica Campbell.
We're outside a beach house
on the coastal highway
and we think
something bad has happened here.
There's something written
on the side of the house.
Okay, tell me,
what does it say?
Do you have the address?
Where are we?
I don't know.
Is there anyone
inside the house?
It's empty.
I don't think anyone lives here.
Okay, Jess,
we're going to have you stay on
the line
Stand by.
What is that?
Let's go.
Jess!
911 hung up on me.
What the fuck are
you guys doing?
We gotta get out of here now.
Let's go out the window.
No one is so fierce that you
dare to start a serpent.
Who then is here who can
stand before me?
We need to find
something to break it!
Jess! Jess!
Jess!
Please! Please, help me!
Jess, please! Please, help me!
Help!
Help... anyone!
Anyone here?
Oh Jesus.
Oh fuck!
I told you we should've stopped
at that gas station.
What is it?
Fuck.
Okay, let it cool down
for a little bit.
Then we can go back to the gas
station and find a mechanic or
something.
How far away was it?
Uh, it's five miles
back that way.
Fuck! We're never
gonna make it there.
Okay, look,
is it an engine thing?
Maybe it's the cooler?
What are we doing with it?
I don't know, man,
it's fucking hot.
You, guys!
Help me!
Help me!
You have to help me.
- What happened?
- He killed my friends.
What are you talking about?
My... my friends and I...
We were at the beach.
We went
to this house....
- They are
all dead.
- What?
What are you talking about?
We gotta go now.
- We can't. The fans are--
- You don't understand.
He's gonna kill us all.
Andy!
What?
Oh, my God! We have to go! Come
on, come on, let's go, let's go!
Get in the van!
Oh, my God!
- David!
- I know!
Hurry! Start the car, David!
Come on, start!
Come on, let's go, let's go!
Oh my god!
Is that the guy
that killed your friends?
Yeah.
What are we supposed to do now?
Just keep driving, okay?
Call 911 and tell
the police to meet us
at that gas station
you were talking about.
- How far away is it?
- It says it's straight ahead.
Where are we?
No, I shouldn't have come on
this trip. What the fuck was
I thinking?
No, it's okay.
It's okay. Let's just
get to the gas station.
That's not gonna happen.
I knew we should take my truck.
We weren't gonna fit.
I told you that.
I called the cops.
They're on their way.
Fuck!
The van's overheating again.
Just, just pull over there.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Are you sure
we should stop here?
We don't have much of a choice.
Let's just stay here
until the cops come.
We have company.
David?
David, start the car.
What the fuck is he even doing?
That was fucking weird, right?
Yeah, you think?
I'm gonna call the cops and
tell them exactly where we are.
We're gonna have to stop here.
Dude, why are we stopping?
It's too fucking hot,
it's not working!
I just called the cops,
let's just fucking stay here!
Yeah, let's just wait here.
I don't
think that's a good idea.
Samara!
Get out!
Get out! Get out!
Go, go, go!
Go, go, go!
I don't see him.
He just killed her.
He just killed her.
Yeah, let her go.
Okay, we gotta stay still.
- He fucking killed her.
- Yeah, leave her.
Phone.
- Does anyone have a phone?
- Huh?
Mine was in the van.
Fuck!
That's him.
We gotta keep moving... now.
Okay.
I think we lost him.
Come on, this way.
This is her fault.
What did you say?
None of this would have happened
if it wasn't for you.
Hey, you better calm down.
If you don't, we're all gonna
end up like Samara, okay?
Let's go.
Claire!
I don't know if
I can go on, man.
No, no, you have to.
Samara would want you to, okay?
and if you stay here
that guy's gonna get us.
Samara didn't even want to come
on this trip.
I made her.
Don't you see?
We have to.
We have to. I mean get help.
Maybe someone that can
help us find her.
She's still out there,
right? Right?
I don't know, man.
She is. Just keep going right,
keep going.
Right?
Okay.
Okay.
No one is so fierce that you
dare to start a serpent.
Who then is he?
Okay, stay for me.
I'm Claire.
That's Andy and David.
I'm Jess.
It's nice to meet you, Jess.
So what happened
to your friends?
We were here on
vacation at the beach.
We were walking back to our car
and passed a house with writing
on the side.
We stopped and
I called the police.
What was written on the side?
Three dead inside.
Why the hell did you go in?
My friends went in and
I followed them to get them out.
Then we were attacked.
Jesus Christ.
He murdered both my friends
and fed them to an alligator.
I'm sorry to hear
about your friends.
I just, I keep thinking of ways
that I could have saved them.
Something that I could
have done different.
But it all happened so fast.
We were supposed to
leave yesterday,
but we all decided to
stay an extra day.
Because we were
having so much fun.
I wish we would have left.
Maybe, I don't know, maybe...
I would still have my friends.
I feel like we're
walking in circles here.
Yup!
Maybe we should just
go back that way.
I see something.
It's a road.
This way.
Hot.
So, where are you from?
- Missouri.
- Oh, nice.
Yeah.
- So you're enjoying
Florida so far?
- Andy!
So...
Where are you all from?
Up north.
We were taking a trip
to see Ginny Springs.
A surprise birthday
camping trip.
Oh... Whose birthday?
My girlfriend's.
Samara.
I'm sorry.
Can I get a hallelujah, guys?
Come on.
Hell yeah.
- Wait.
- What?
- Nothing.
- Come on.
Oh, come on.
Hello?
Hello?
Oh, come on.
Hello?
Let's try around the back.
Hello!
What are you doing?
Let's go in.
Let's just wait and see
if anyone shows up.
We need help.
Church.
He's right.
Thanks.
Hello?
I don't think anyone's here.
- Can I help you?
- Yes, please someone's coming
after us.
- He killed our friends!
We need help!
- Slow down.
Tell me what happened.
There's a man.
He drives a van.
He took one of our friends and
he killed her two friends
as well.
We need a phone.
Do you have one?
Yes, of course.
Would you call the police
for us? Please.
I'll call the sheriff.
Thank you.
Hello, sheriff?
This is Father Eli
at Church of the Old Flesh.
I got some teenagers here that
are needing police assistance.
Thank you.
See you soon.
They're on their way.
Why don't y'all sit down there?
Do you need water or anything?
Uh, yeah, that would be great.
I'll get some for y'all.
I'll be right back.
I'm definitely going
to church now.
What a day.
I'm just glad it's over.
It's not over.
We're gonna tell
the cops about Samara.
Maybe they can find her.
Maybe she's still alive.
It's gonna be okay.
It's the best I can
do on short notice.
Oh, thanks, man. It's perfect.
You're gonna have to share.
- Yeah.
- I'm okay.
How old is this church?
My granddaddy built this
going on a hundred years ago.
Jesus!
Oh, sorry, Padre.
He used to minister up there,
13th Church of God,
up there in the city,
until he could no longer stomach
what he called the devil tree
of it all.
Then he packed up and left
that modern day, Gamorra.
Moved down here to
Whistler's Spring,
April, 1970.
So you own this church?
Oh, yes.
But if he thought
people were depraved back then,
his mind would surely burst
if he saw how wicked
this world had become.
Don't you agree?
Uh, yeah, it's pretty shitty.
Do people still worship here?
Oh, yeah.
But not as many as used to.
Sadly.
The congregation that I used
to have of over a hundred
has diminished to about ten.
But it is a strong ten.
That's been in the church
since the beginning.
You like it?
Do you have a favorite
Bible passage?
Mine...
Mark, chapter 16,
verses 17 and 18.
"And these signs shall
follow them that believe...
and in my name they shall
cast out devils.
They shall speak in new tongues.
They shall take up serpents.
Are you okay?
And if any of them
should drink any deadly thing,
It shall not harm them.
And they will lay
hands on the sick,
and they shall be healed."
What happened to your leg?
Lost it to a gator.
Oh, help me.
What's happening?
Oh, oh, oh.
- Andy!
- Andy!
Let me please.
Andy!
What's wrong?
You have been chosen.
Claire, get Andy away from him!
You can never leave.
We gotta go!
No, we can't leave Andy!
We can't let them escape.
Bring them back.
I'll assemble the flock.
Learn my way.
Learn my way.
Learn my way.
Learn my way.
The ceremony of the Old Flesh...
has begun.
Go, go!
Don't look back!
Don't slow it down!
Go, go!
Go!
Where is Claire?
I don't know.
She was right behind us.
His back is turned towards us.
Maybe he's just gonna find her.
Do something.
No, no, no, no.
I can go.
Come on, come on.
Come on! Let's go! Let's go!
There.
We have to go back for Andy.
We can't.
They drugged him.
They're going to kill us.
I don't see him.
There he is!
We gotta go!
Come on!
Jess!
Jess!
No! No!
- Jess, swim!
- Hurry!
Come on, Jess!
I need to stop for a second.
- Claire, we have to
keep moving.
- I need a fucking minute!
Andy... what they did to him!
I know.
I know.
Hey, we're gonna find help
and make it through this,
as long as we stick together.
Let's keep moving.
Which way?
Come on... this way.
What are you doing?
What?
Listen.
Back! Back! Back! Go back!
Who are these people?
It has to be some kind of cult.
That means he won't be
the only one looking for us.
We need to do something. Now.
We should distract him
and go for the truck.
I'll do it.
No.
- I can do it.
- No
I'll run.
Go to the van, get it started,
and meet me in the forest
clearing.
- Fuck.
- Okay.
You got this.
- Okay.
- Go.
- Ready?
- Yeah, let's go.
Go. Go. Go.
Samara's not here.
Let's check the back.
Oh fuck!
What the fuck is going on?
David, David,
we gotta keep moving okay?
Go, go!
Please, come on, start.
Let's get Claire
and get the fuck out of here!
There she is!
Claire! Hurry!
- Why is she stopping?
- You, guys.
Get out of the car.
Get out of the car! He's there!
Jess! No!
Oh, my god!
No, no, David!
David, no!
No!
No, no, no!
Come on, you fucker.
Oh my God.
Help me...
Help me...
Help me, please.
Help me...
Welcome, family.
Good evening.
Good evening.
But what's good about it?
We are here to celebrate
a very special evening.
And who is our Lord?
He who lives
in dark waters!
He who lives
in the dark waters!
He who lives
in the dark waters!
That's right.
Amen!
And He has brought us
a gift.
It's not often that we have
outsiders grace our church.
I'm feeling the need
to do a little bit of preaching.
Preach it!
Preach it! Preach it!
We read in Hebrews 11, verse 7.
By faith,
by faith, Noah having
been forewarned by God
of things not yet seen,
prepares and ark.
He prepared an ark
for the saving of his house.
But in so doing,
he condemned all others.
For there were multitudes
and multitudes of people.
Preach it!
And God drowned them all,
except in nowhere in His flock.
God drowned them all.
All sinners gone to hell.
Praise Him!
Praise Him!
Now...
you talked to all them maudlin
preachers out there,
peddling their soft faith.
Are they going to tell you
what you need to know?
They can't.
They can't tell you the truth.
Why? It might be
politically incorrect.
But they will tell you this
nation in the world is going
to hell.
They won't tell you why.
They can't tell you why.
But they tell you God loves you.
God loves everybody.
Does a God that drowns
the entire world,
excepting Noah and his family,
sounds like a God
that loves you?
No!
Does it sound like a God
who forgives sins?
No!
God abhors those who ignore
his righteous teaching,
forsake his covenants,
and scoff at his acts.
- No!
- No, sir!
God doesn't love you
unless you fear him.
Now...
As most of you good folks know,
I was a hateful man.
Slinking my way
through the darkness,
seeking my salvation
through earthly things,
and evil things.
Preach it!
I was on the road to Damascus.
I was long gone on
a sinful journey
when the light of the Lord
shone upon me on my deathbed
right out there in
those dark waters!
Now...
brothers and sisters,
I'm here to tell you
that creature missed
taking my life,
but it took my soul!
It took my soul
because I was blinded.
I was blinded to
the ungodly truth
that for all men
born again in Christ
are new creatures.
I am a new creature!
I am a new creature!
I am a new creature!
I am a new creature!
You are a new creature.
- You are a new creature.
- I am a new creature!
I am a new creature!
- Creature!
- I am a new creature.
I am a new creature.
I am a new creature.
It is time for the ceremony of
the old flesh and a new
beginning.
Prepare her for...
the sacrifice!
Where are the others?
We must find them
before a daybreak.
It is time.
Why?
You can't stop him.
He's taken her.
Where is she?
The dark waters
are her home now.
He'll come for you too.
He'll come for you too.
It is time.
From the dark waters,
my Master...
and Maker...
will rise!
One day...
the mud could conceal
him no longer.
One day a stone
peeled away from the shore.
Now...
he will arise.
Now...
he will take her.
Hungry for more.
Living he loved me,
dying he saved me,
the salt of his flesh
carries me far away rising.
He finds His just
bride for the taking.
My Master,
come show me the way.
Your sister is thirsty.
Feed her.
The old flesh.
Please, somebody
help me, no, no, please!
Please don't!
Claire!
No!
He is here.
Learn my place.
Make her watch.
He is here.
Learn my place.
Come to me.
He is here.
Living he loved me.
Dying he saved me.
My master,
come show me the way.
Perhaps it's no coincidence that
you came to us today, sister.
It's not often
he who lives in the dark waters
claims a powerful mate.
Can you feel his great powers?
I do.
You have tasted his flesh.
Now it's his time
to taste yours.
He's here...
Go to him.
Claire!
Claire! Get away from him.
Rejoice!
Rejoice!
May he bless this
momentous occasion
and bring renewal and
transformation into your lives.
Bring her to me.
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
You have caused great sin
on this holy day.
Now you will feel his wrath.
Fuck
No!
We're gonna finish
what he started.
