Knucklebones (2016) Movie Script
Heil Hitler!
Billy?
Where are you?
Knucklebones,
Knucklebones, blood runs red.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
wake the dead.
Broken?
Billy!
I'm not mad!
I just need you!
Mommy's hurt!
Billy!
Come here right now or you're
going to be in big trouble!
You're all going to be
in big, big, trouble!
Mom?
Mom?
You want this?
OK, what will you
give me for it?
A kiss.
Well, I don't think my fianc
would like that very much.
Here, how about I
just give it to you?
Yeah?
Have fun.
Oh my God.
Wow.
Let me see this thing.
Neesa.
Yes?
You know that I really
do love you, right?
I know.
I love you too.
Which is why this makes what
I'm about to say so difficult.
Oh, what?
You're not breaking
up with me, are you?
You're breaking up with me?
We're about to graduate.
I mean, I don't
want either of us
to miss any other opportunities.
Opportunities?
Is it another girl, Ryan?
Just tell me the truth!
I think I deserve that much!
No, it's not another girl.
I love you.
It's just that
right now, I think
this is the best for
both of us, you know?
So that's it?
I'm sorry.
Shelby, Neesa,
let's get a move on!
Hey sweetie, are
you ready for camp?
What's on the docket today?
Archery.
Archery, I'm not sure
how I feel about that.
Where's your sister?
Still in her room.
I think Ryan broke up
with her last night.
Were you eavesdropping again?
Bus is here, later tater.
Neesa, are you in there?
Sweetie?
Neesa?
Knucklebones,
Knucklebones, blood runs red.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
wake the dead.
Hello?
Hello?
Knucklebones,
Knucklebones, blood runs red.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
wake the dead.
Hi, Sheriff.
Hey Mary, how's that
old man of yours?
- Fine.
- That's good.
Neesa Avery?
Room 305.
Tell Arn hi.
I will.
You know, statistically
when a parent commits suicide,
the odds that one of their children will
try to take their own life increases.
It's not like that.
It's not.
I knew your dad for
over 20 years, Neesa.
He was a good man, just a
little emotional, like you.
That's the wife,
riding me as usual.
You ever meet Cindy?
Yeah... at the funeral.
She said my father
was going to hell
'cause he took his own life.
Sorry about that.
She can be a bit Bibley.
You didn't believe her, did you?
I do now.
You'll feel better
if you eat something.
At least take a pain pill.
I love you, sweetie.
What if your sister
would have found you?
Neesa, one of your
friends is here to see you.
I'll leave the two of you alone.
You know what you
should have done?
You should have shoved that stuffed
elephant right up his ass.
I know.
Was it another girl?
It was probably Linda Harris.
You want to go tie
her to my rear bumper
and see how fast she can run?
He said it wasn't another girl.
Yeah, well he's
a liar, obviously.
Are you still wearing that
stupid promise ring he gave you?
It's an engagement ring.
That's not stupid.
We need to get you out of here.
Get dressed.
The guys want to go check
out some old haunted factory
or something.
I don't know.
My mom will freak.
Who wants to play board games?
Oh my God.
Let's go.
Nice stop, Travis.
That's kind of how I roll.
I just go.
You kind of just rolled
right through the stop sign.
Stop means go.
This place is super creepy.
I love it.
You would like it, Kia.
Whose idea was it
to come way out here?
The guys, of course.
Yeah, they think if they get us
all scared and vulnerable they
can have their way with us.
Guys only think about one thing.
Three girls, two guys,
Adam, three girls, two guys.
I'm liking these odds.
Whew, it's hot out here.
Yeah, I'll tell you
what's hot, Adam.
These girls are hot.
Look at 'em.
Huh? Huh? OK, leave me hanging.
I got this.
Leave me hanging.
Why don't you... Thank you.
I'm going to get this flashlight.
You get the beers, Adam.
I got this flashlight.
This place is huge.
So what is this
place supposed to be?
It's an old garment factory.
It was originally built
during World War
To make uniforms for the troops.
Closed it down back in the
70s after a bunch of people
got butchered while working
the graveyard shift.
They say the place
is still haunted now
by the ghost of
those dead workers.
Yay.
So why did we come here?
Because there's no
such thing as ghosts.
Don't say that.
You'll anger them.
Dibs on the crazy chick!
What's that smell?
The '70s.
I know, right?
I wonder if they made
bell bottom jeans here.
And mini skirts and hot pants.
Hey!
You guys probably
think we're so weird.
Guys?
Hey, where'd they go?
They're probably
hiding to scare us.
So predictable.
Well, now that they're
gone, let's talk about them.
So which one do you want, Neesa?
What do you mean?
Which guy do you want?
Yeah, you get first pick, Neesa.
Me and Kia will duke
it out for runner-up.
I'm so going to beat you.
Like hell you are.
Damn it!
Travis!
What is this place?
You should have saw your faces!
Stop it!
The generator still works!
Adam, this is so
freaking awesome.
We've got three chicks.
Oh God, Adam.
Is that your new phone?
Yeah.
How do you like it?
I love it.
But it feels too big in my hand.
That's what she said.
That was a good one, huh?
Right, Adam, that
was a good one.
So, Neesa...
Hi, honey.
Yeah, I got the messages
about your mother.
I know she's upset.
I have no idea who's
stealing her newspapers.
No, I don't have any leads.
Why doesn't she get up earlier?
She sleeps almost all day.
Hey, I got another
call coming in.
I got to take this.
Sheriff's office.
What do you mean, she's gone?
Neesa never leaves without
telling me where she's going.
It's like she's a
different person now.
I'm sure she's fine.
I tell you what I'm going to do.
I'm going to go hit all the
convenience stores in town,
see if anyone's seen them.
On a serious note, OK, guys,
I got a question for you,
Guys, listen, listen!
I got a question.
What if you were to
travel into the future...
right... and jerk off
your future self?
Would that be gay or
just masturbation?
It would be experimental.
Seriously, this has
been weighing on my mind.
OK, so, would it be politically
incorrect for a special ed
teacher to refer to one of her
students that's late for class
as tardy?
Are you the teacher?
Possibly.
Because if you're
the teacher, no.
OK, OK.
If a turtle that
just loss its shell
would be considered
naked or homeless?
Hm?
Both, obviously.
That poor turtle.
Yeah, that wasn't funny, Neesa.
Not in the least.
You guys suck.
So Neesa, why'd you
try to kill yourself?
What the hell, Travis?
Jesus, Travis, we're just
having a good time, OK?
It's not really an
appropriate topic.
I understand we're
having a good time.
OK.
A suicide attempt is
a cry for help, right?
Right, well, I'm trying to help.
You're trying to be
an asshole is what...
No, I'm not.
I'm a nice guy, wear
my heart on my sleeve.
I didn't try to kill myself.
I did kill myself.
The doctors said I was dead
for at least six minutes.
Wow.
Shouldn't you have,
like, brain damage?
Look who's talking.
Oh!
Oh, great, look who's talking.
OK.
You guys have had
one too many, I think.
No.
Did you hear something?
No, I didn't.
I didn't hear anything.
It sounded like
children singing.
Told you, brain damage.
I'm serious.
It sounded like it was coming
from down that hallway.
- Down that hallway right there?
- Yeah.
Well, you know what time it is.
It's time to go check it out.
Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Excuse you.
Bingo.
OK, so who wants
to go down first?
That's what she said.
Why do you keep saying that?
Because it's funny.
No, it isn't.
It's kind of funny.
Told you.
- OK, fine, I'll go first.
- OK.
No way, guys.
Don't be such a scaredy cat.
Come on, Sam.
I want to check it out.
Well, of course you do,
you have a death wish.
Neesa, I'm sorry.
Whatever.
No, I didn't mean it like that.
Yeah, you did.
Come on already!
Hang on, guys!
I'm coming!
That's what she said!
Pretty creepy, huh?
Yeah, I'll bet
they didn't recover
all the bodies of
the dead workers
and now their tortured
spirits are crying out
for a proper burial.
That's a pretty good theory,
except for the fact
there's no such thing as ghosts.
Yeah, you keep saying that,
and we're not having sex later.
We need to find those
bodies and give these people
a proper burial.
I've been saying
it from the get go.
Ha!
Travis!
Gosh.
There! Did you guys hear that?
I didn't hear anything.
It sounds like it's coming
from behind this wall.
There's no door.
You know what?
I can bust through this.
Let me just go get some
tools from my truck.
I've got this.
Stand back.
It looks old.
Yeah, and valuable.
Let's open it.
Yeah, we should
definitely open it.
Hang on, guys.
I'm not sure it's a good idea.
You're the one that
wanted to come down here.
I know, but I mean,
something doesn't feel right.
They obviously hid it behind
that wall for a reason.
Yeah, to hide the evidence.
This building has been abandoned
for over 40 years, right?
So whoever this box
belonged to is long gone.
I guess you're right.
You know I'm right.
Back to the party room.
Woman, you come with me.
Hey, you know I didn't
mean what I said back there.
It's just you didn't even
come talk to me first.
You're my best friend.
I know I'm a selfish
bitch sometimes.
But if I would have known
how bad you were hurting,
maybe I could have helped.
I know, Sam.
And I know you brought me out
here to try and cheer me up.
And it means a lot, really.
Just promise me
you'll come tell me
before you try anything
stupid like that again, OK?
Yeah, I promise.
Look, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I swear.
Let's open this bad boy up.
What is all this stuff?
These look like
shipping receipts.
This is weird.
Most of these show
destinations in Germany.
No way, look at this.
They were making
uniforms all right.
They were just making
them for the wrong team.
An actual Nazi SS uniform?
Wow.
OK, why would they be
making uniforms for Nazis
in the middle of Texas?
Are you kidding?
Dozens of major US companies
got busted back then
for war profiteering.
Yeah, no telling how many other
little operations like this
were doing the exact same thing.
Whoa, look who's learning stuff.
Yeah, it's called internet.
Big words.
What's that?
The markings on
this chest appear
to be Sumerian in origins, while
the summoning stones themselves
seem to be carved from the left
hand of an adult human male
over 2,000 years ago.
Sumerian?
Gozer the Gozarian.
Gozer the destructor!
Never mind.
It looks like some sort
of demon summoning ritual.
Hitler and the Nazis were
really into the occult.
So what's it doing here?
Maybe they sent it to
the owner of this place
as some sort of payment or
reward for helping them.
- Let's try it out.
- What?
Let's see if this sucker works.
You want to summon a demon?
Come on, please?
OK.
What about you, Samantha?
I guess, whatever.
I'm sorry.
But I'd like to strongly object to
the whole summoning a demon plan.
Yes, yes, thank you, one
reasonable person in the group.
Yeah, shut up, Adam, you're
just trying to get laid.
Fine, we'll vote.
OK, who doesn't want to
try summoning a demon?
Oh, three to two, you lose.
Hooray for democracy.
This is Ryan.
Leave a message.
Hey...
It's me.
Look, I wanted to tell you that
what happened to me the other
day, it wasn't your fault.
It was just really
upset at the time.
But I wanted to tell
you that I miss you.
And I love you so much.
- Oh my God.
- I'm sorry.
Is everything OK?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Uh, they're ready for us, so.
Oh, OK.
OK, it says the words
of the incantation
are not as important as
the rhythm and intention.
Also, all of the dice
bones have to land
inside the center area of the
pentagram for the summoning to work.
Got it?
Got it!
OK, here we go.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
show us your face.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
appear in this place.
Shit.
You suck!
It was a bad roll.
Fine, you go next, Travis.
We're about to get
ourselves a demon.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
come out and play.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
this is totally gay!
Travis!
That's how I roll, sweetheart.
Shitty roll.
OK, Neesa, your turn.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
blood runs red.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
wake the dead.
Nice roll.
Now what?
I don't understand.
It...
How did you break it?
When did you break your arm?
Kia! Kia?
Kia, what's going on?
What's happening to her?
Oh my God!
Something's coming out!
- Oh! Is that a hand?
- Oh my God!
What the fuck!?
What the hell?
Come on! Come on!
Come on!
Hurry! Hurry!
The door!
The door!
No way that just happened!
What was that?
Was that Kia? Was that Kia?
- It came out of Kia.
- What did?
The demon we just summoned!
There's no such thing as demons!
Hello, 911?
911, what's your emergency.
Yes, we're at the old
factory of Highway 5.
Someone or something
just killed our friend.
And I think it's
trying to kill us.
What the fuck?!
Surprise.
You weren't expecting
that, were you, fucker?
Frankly, I thought this was
going to be a lot harder.
That's what she said!
Wait!
Where's Travis?
Oh, shit!
You guys get out of here!
And I'm going to
go back for him!
- No!
- Are you crazy? That thing will kill you!
Shit.
What are you waiting for?
Let's get out of here!
What's wrong?
Remember you told me to tell you
before I did something stupid?
Yeah.
I'm about to do
something stupid.
You're going to get
yourself killed, Neesa.
I don't care!
Well, I do!
We'll go and get help!
What if they're dead
by the time we get back?
What if they're already dead?
Shit!
No! No! No! No!
I never was good at that.
Adam!
Kia!
Don't worry, Travis!
I'll only put the tip in!
Kia!
Adam?
Travis?
Travis!
Shh, shh.
It's still close by.
Shit!
You guys almost gave
me a heart attack.
Travis is dead.
We better get the
fuck out here, OK?
- Who's got the keys?
- I do.
Let's go.
Hurry!
What's down there?
It looks like a garbage chute.
I'm not going down there.
Yes, you are.
Hello?
Well, I got a lead at least.
Talked to Jeff over at Grady's.
He said they stopped in
there and bought some beer
on the way out of town.
Said they headed
down farm road 82.
What's out there?
About 50 miles of cow
crap, not much else.
I'm starting to freak out.
Relax, Nancy, I'll find her.
Do you have any idea where they
may have headed out that way?
No, I would...
I know where she went.
I wasn't eavesdropping.
So who turned on the furnace?
Maybe it was the demon.
Why would the demon
turn on the furnace?
Atmosphere?
Maybe he was cold.
It's 100 degrees out.
Maybe he's hungry?
Sure is a long ways out here.
You guys better not be
wasting my fucking time.
I'm telling you, man, these old
warehouses are full of copper.
This place better
have a bathroom.
Really?
Again?
Why don't you just go pop a
squat behind a bush somewhere.
Hello?
There could be poison ivy.
Hey, there's lights on.
Do you think there's
somebody inside maybe?
If they are, we'll
fuck their shit up.
Yeah, there should be
some good shit in here.
Oh fuck yes.
Look at this fucking place.
Hey, Star!
You want me to come with you?
I'd rather be horribly murdered.
All right.
It's your loss.
Yeah, get that metal, baby.
What's that, Mely?
Whoo!
Can you hear me now?
Tinkle, tinkle, little star.
Hey, what the fuck?
Is that you, Andy?
You fucking pervert.
You need to get the
fuck out of here.
Holy shit.
Yeah!
Fuck yeah, baby.
Hello?
Hello?
Is anybody there?
Shh!
Looks like we're just
in time for dinner.
Shit!
You kids nearly made me chuck
a mud guppy in my grippers.
I was just in the back
emptying my piss jars.
Ew! Who are you?
Mr friends called me Choctaw
Bill, back when I had friends.
Well, I'm Neesa.
This is Sam and Adam...
We don't have time for this. OK,
that thing is trying to kill us.
What thing?
We don't know.
I know this sounds crazy.
But it's like... it's
like some sort of demon.
A demon?
You mean Knucklebones?
Please tell me you kids didn't.
We did.
Oh man, I knew
this would happen.
Wait, you know about this thing?
We had a run-in a while back.
My mother used to work
here back in the '70s.
She used to bring me with her.
We couldn't afford no daycare.
But late one night,
me and the other kids
were playing hide and
go seek in the basement.
That's when I found
the bone dice.
We thought it was a damn game.
The demon killed everyone...
my mother, the other kids,
would have killed me too.
But I hid.
I've always been a good hider.
It wasn't a game.
But there were rules.
They describe something
called the banishment ritual.
Instead of all of them landing
in the center of the pentagram,
this time each dice had to
land at a separate point
in the star.
The demon almost got me.
But I squirmed away and ran
back up to the summoning circle.
I got real lucky with that roll,
one in a million shot, I'd wager.
And, poof, just like that,
the demon was gone.
Shortly after that,
some men in black suits
came and escorted
me off the premises.
We found the dice in
a box in the basement,
sealed behind a wall.
I was afraid of that.
Been coming here for
years looking for them.
Eventually, I just
moved on in here.
There wasn't anything about any
kind of banishment ritual, though.
I was afraid of that too.
I've had a long time
think about this.
Call me crazy if you want.
But I think the whole thing is
some sort of military weapon.
You're crazy.
Think about it.
Release this thing in a
heavily populated area.
No one knows anything about
it, or how to get rid of it.
Thing could kill millions...
supernatural warfare.
But now that we know
about this ritual,
we can get rid of it, right?
We still need the dice.
And they're back
upstairs, right?
We're not going to
make it in time.
Plus, you said it was a lucky roll,
right, a one in a million chance?
That's not very good odds.
So what are we going to do?
I think we should
just run for it.
That's because you don't
know shit from apple butter.
Hell, you'd never even
make it to the main road.
That thing is as fast
as it wants to be.
The only reason
you're not all dead already
is 'cause it likes
fucking with you.
Demons feed on your fear.
What if two of us create a distraction
and the other two go for the dice?
So who's going to
create the distraction?
I will.
I'll go with you.
Sam, you go with Choctaw Bill and
perform the banishment ritual.
Hold on a second.
I'm fucking this bull.
You kids are just
holding the horns.
Fine, what's your plan?
We'll do what you just said.
- Neesa?
- What?
In case we don't make it.
Sam, we're going to make it, OK?
I promise.
You kids ready?
Time to paint your butts white
and run with the antelope.
Back up the garbage chute.
I don't see him.
Let's go for it.
It's a trap.
We wait for the signal.
OK, let's go.
I can't.
I'm too scared.
Fine, stay here.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
make this roll.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
save my soul.
Looks like you used up
all your luck, little Billy!
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
death and decay.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones
go away!
Say hello to your mother for me.
Run away, little girl!
Run away!
Oh my God.
Sam!
- Neesa, it's going to be fine.
- No, it's not!
- It's going to be fine!
- No!
Hello again, Neesa!
We met before, in hell!
You and I are gonna
have a lot of fun together.
You stay away from her!
Sam!
Neesa, get down!
Sheriff!
There's bodies and
blood everywhere!
What the hell are you
kids doing out here?
Stay there!
No!
Come back here! Please!
No!
We have to get out of here!
Please!
You didn't kill it!
You can't kill it!
We gotta get out of here!
Never bring a
gun to a knife fight!
You spoiled little girl.
Fine, if you won't play with me,
I'll find someone else who will.
Later tater.
No!
You stay away from her,
you fucker!
Mom! Going to bed!
Night!
Shit!
No!
Fuck!
Shit!
Gotcha.
Mom!
Mom!
Stop it!
You're acting like a child!
They're coming for you.
Look!
There comes one of them now!
Aw, you're so pretty.
I could just eat your bones.
Is it weird that I like
the sound of screaming?
Got you.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
fire and flame.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones
go back where you came.
Shit!
This is impossible!
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
live to tell.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones
go to hell.
Help!
Help!
Somebody?
Help!
Is anybody still there?
Sam!
Oh, hey, Neesa.
You're still alive.
You bitch!
Ow.
Jesus, Ryan, you scared
the shit out of me.
What? I'm sorry.
Did I scare you?
You have no idea what
I've just been through.
What have you been through?
I'm sorry, babe, but I
haven't heard from you.
You haven't been responding
to my text messages.
And, you know, I've been getting
serious Samantha withdrawals.
And the doctors
said the only cure
was for me to come
see you tonight.
I know.
I lost my phone.
Look, Ryan,
I'm not really feeling
comfortable with all this
right now.
Wait, wait, did
you say something?
I'm serious.
Neesa's my friend.
This isn't right.
I mean, she tried
to kill herself
when you broke up with her.
You didn't tell her that the two
of us were together, did you?
- Of course not.
- Of course not.
I would never
hurt her like that.
Yet, you were having
sex with her boyfriend
for six months behind her back?
I never said I was perfect.
And, plus, you are really cute.
Really?
Hold on.
What? What's wrong?
I think I got a cramp.
It's fine.
Ah!
Fuck!
God!
God dammit!
I think I broke my leg.
Not again.
This can't be.
What's happening to me?!
Oh my God.
Hey, Sam!
We found your cell phone.
No!
Neesa, I'm sorry!
Please!
Hey, Neesa,
I told you we were gonna have
a lot of fun together!
Billy?
Where are you?
Knucklebones,
Knucklebones, blood runs red.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
wake the dead.
Broken?
Billy!
I'm not mad!
I just need you!
Mommy's hurt!
Billy!
Come here right now or you're
going to be in big trouble!
You're all going to be
in big, big, trouble!
Mom?
Mom?
You want this?
OK, what will you
give me for it?
A kiss.
Well, I don't think my fianc
would like that very much.
Here, how about I
just give it to you?
Yeah?
Have fun.
Oh my God.
Wow.
Let me see this thing.
Neesa.
Yes?
You know that I really
do love you, right?
I know.
I love you too.
Which is why this makes what
I'm about to say so difficult.
Oh, what?
You're not breaking
up with me, are you?
You're breaking up with me?
We're about to graduate.
I mean, I don't
want either of us
to miss any other opportunities.
Opportunities?
Is it another girl, Ryan?
Just tell me the truth!
I think I deserve that much!
No, it's not another girl.
I love you.
It's just that
right now, I think
this is the best for
both of us, you know?
So that's it?
I'm sorry.
Shelby, Neesa,
let's get a move on!
Hey sweetie, are
you ready for camp?
What's on the docket today?
Archery.
Archery, I'm not sure
how I feel about that.
Where's your sister?
Still in her room.
I think Ryan broke up
with her last night.
Were you eavesdropping again?
Bus is here, later tater.
Neesa, are you in there?
Sweetie?
Neesa?
Knucklebones,
Knucklebones, blood runs red.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
wake the dead.
Hello?
Hello?
Knucklebones,
Knucklebones, blood runs red.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
wake the dead.
Hi, Sheriff.
Hey Mary, how's that
old man of yours?
- Fine.
- That's good.
Neesa Avery?
Room 305.
Tell Arn hi.
I will.
You know, statistically
when a parent commits suicide,
the odds that one of their children will
try to take their own life increases.
It's not like that.
It's not.
I knew your dad for
over 20 years, Neesa.
He was a good man, just a
little emotional, like you.
That's the wife,
riding me as usual.
You ever meet Cindy?
Yeah... at the funeral.
She said my father
was going to hell
'cause he took his own life.
Sorry about that.
She can be a bit Bibley.
You didn't believe her, did you?
I do now.
You'll feel better
if you eat something.
At least take a pain pill.
I love you, sweetie.
What if your sister
would have found you?
Neesa, one of your
friends is here to see you.
I'll leave the two of you alone.
You know what you
should have done?
You should have shoved that stuffed
elephant right up his ass.
I know.
Was it another girl?
It was probably Linda Harris.
You want to go tie
her to my rear bumper
and see how fast she can run?
He said it wasn't another girl.
Yeah, well he's
a liar, obviously.
Are you still wearing that
stupid promise ring he gave you?
It's an engagement ring.
That's not stupid.
We need to get you out of here.
Get dressed.
The guys want to go check
out some old haunted factory
or something.
I don't know.
My mom will freak.
Who wants to play board games?
Oh my God.
Let's go.
Nice stop, Travis.
That's kind of how I roll.
I just go.
You kind of just rolled
right through the stop sign.
Stop means go.
This place is super creepy.
I love it.
You would like it, Kia.
Whose idea was it
to come way out here?
The guys, of course.
Yeah, they think if they get us
all scared and vulnerable they
can have their way with us.
Guys only think about one thing.
Three girls, two guys,
Adam, three girls, two guys.
I'm liking these odds.
Whew, it's hot out here.
Yeah, I'll tell you
what's hot, Adam.
These girls are hot.
Look at 'em.
Huh? Huh? OK, leave me hanging.
I got this.
Leave me hanging.
Why don't you... Thank you.
I'm going to get this flashlight.
You get the beers, Adam.
I got this flashlight.
This place is huge.
So what is this
place supposed to be?
It's an old garment factory.
It was originally built
during World War
To make uniforms for the troops.
Closed it down back in the
70s after a bunch of people
got butchered while working
the graveyard shift.
They say the place
is still haunted now
by the ghost of
those dead workers.
Yay.
So why did we come here?
Because there's no
such thing as ghosts.
Don't say that.
You'll anger them.
Dibs on the crazy chick!
What's that smell?
The '70s.
I know, right?
I wonder if they made
bell bottom jeans here.
And mini skirts and hot pants.
Hey!
You guys probably
think we're so weird.
Guys?
Hey, where'd they go?
They're probably
hiding to scare us.
So predictable.
Well, now that they're
gone, let's talk about them.
So which one do you want, Neesa?
What do you mean?
Which guy do you want?
Yeah, you get first pick, Neesa.
Me and Kia will duke
it out for runner-up.
I'm so going to beat you.
Like hell you are.
Damn it!
Travis!
What is this place?
You should have saw your faces!
Stop it!
The generator still works!
Adam, this is so
freaking awesome.
We've got three chicks.
Oh God, Adam.
Is that your new phone?
Yeah.
How do you like it?
I love it.
But it feels too big in my hand.
That's what she said.
That was a good one, huh?
Right, Adam, that
was a good one.
So, Neesa...
Hi, honey.
Yeah, I got the messages
about your mother.
I know she's upset.
I have no idea who's
stealing her newspapers.
No, I don't have any leads.
Why doesn't she get up earlier?
She sleeps almost all day.
Hey, I got another
call coming in.
I got to take this.
Sheriff's office.
What do you mean, she's gone?
Neesa never leaves without
telling me where she's going.
It's like she's a
different person now.
I'm sure she's fine.
I tell you what I'm going to do.
I'm going to go hit all the
convenience stores in town,
see if anyone's seen them.
On a serious note, OK, guys,
I got a question for you,
Guys, listen, listen!
I got a question.
What if you were to
travel into the future...
right... and jerk off
your future self?
Would that be gay or
just masturbation?
It would be experimental.
Seriously, this has
been weighing on my mind.
OK, so, would it be politically
incorrect for a special ed
teacher to refer to one of her
students that's late for class
as tardy?
Are you the teacher?
Possibly.
Because if you're
the teacher, no.
OK, OK.
If a turtle that
just loss its shell
would be considered
naked or homeless?
Hm?
Both, obviously.
That poor turtle.
Yeah, that wasn't funny, Neesa.
Not in the least.
You guys suck.
So Neesa, why'd you
try to kill yourself?
What the hell, Travis?
Jesus, Travis, we're just
having a good time, OK?
It's not really an
appropriate topic.
I understand we're
having a good time.
OK.
A suicide attempt is
a cry for help, right?
Right, well, I'm trying to help.
You're trying to be
an asshole is what...
No, I'm not.
I'm a nice guy, wear
my heart on my sleeve.
I didn't try to kill myself.
I did kill myself.
The doctors said I was dead
for at least six minutes.
Wow.
Shouldn't you have,
like, brain damage?
Look who's talking.
Oh!
Oh, great, look who's talking.
OK.
You guys have had
one too many, I think.
No.
Did you hear something?
No, I didn't.
I didn't hear anything.
It sounded like
children singing.
Told you, brain damage.
I'm serious.
It sounded like it was coming
from down that hallway.
- Down that hallway right there?
- Yeah.
Well, you know what time it is.
It's time to go check it out.
Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Excuse you.
Bingo.
OK, so who wants
to go down first?
That's what she said.
Why do you keep saying that?
Because it's funny.
No, it isn't.
It's kind of funny.
Told you.
- OK, fine, I'll go first.
- OK.
No way, guys.
Don't be such a scaredy cat.
Come on, Sam.
I want to check it out.
Well, of course you do,
you have a death wish.
Neesa, I'm sorry.
Whatever.
No, I didn't mean it like that.
Yeah, you did.
Come on already!
Hang on, guys!
I'm coming!
That's what she said!
Pretty creepy, huh?
Yeah, I'll bet
they didn't recover
all the bodies of
the dead workers
and now their tortured
spirits are crying out
for a proper burial.
That's a pretty good theory,
except for the fact
there's no such thing as ghosts.
Yeah, you keep saying that,
and we're not having sex later.
We need to find those
bodies and give these people
a proper burial.
I've been saying
it from the get go.
Ha!
Travis!
Gosh.
There! Did you guys hear that?
I didn't hear anything.
It sounds like it's coming
from behind this wall.
There's no door.
You know what?
I can bust through this.
Let me just go get some
tools from my truck.
I've got this.
Stand back.
It looks old.
Yeah, and valuable.
Let's open it.
Yeah, we should
definitely open it.
Hang on, guys.
I'm not sure it's a good idea.
You're the one that
wanted to come down here.
I know, but I mean,
something doesn't feel right.
They obviously hid it behind
that wall for a reason.
Yeah, to hide the evidence.
This building has been abandoned
for over 40 years, right?
So whoever this box
belonged to is long gone.
I guess you're right.
You know I'm right.
Back to the party room.
Woman, you come with me.
Hey, you know I didn't
mean what I said back there.
It's just you didn't even
come talk to me first.
You're my best friend.
I know I'm a selfish
bitch sometimes.
But if I would have known
how bad you were hurting,
maybe I could have helped.
I know, Sam.
And I know you brought me out
here to try and cheer me up.
And it means a lot, really.
Just promise me
you'll come tell me
before you try anything
stupid like that again, OK?
Yeah, I promise.
Look, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I swear.
Let's open this bad boy up.
What is all this stuff?
These look like
shipping receipts.
This is weird.
Most of these show
destinations in Germany.
No way, look at this.
They were making
uniforms all right.
They were just making
them for the wrong team.
An actual Nazi SS uniform?
Wow.
OK, why would they be
making uniforms for Nazis
in the middle of Texas?
Are you kidding?
Dozens of major US companies
got busted back then
for war profiteering.
Yeah, no telling how many other
little operations like this
were doing the exact same thing.
Whoa, look who's learning stuff.
Yeah, it's called internet.
Big words.
What's that?
The markings on
this chest appear
to be Sumerian in origins, while
the summoning stones themselves
seem to be carved from the left
hand of an adult human male
over 2,000 years ago.
Sumerian?
Gozer the Gozarian.
Gozer the destructor!
Never mind.
It looks like some sort
of demon summoning ritual.
Hitler and the Nazis were
really into the occult.
So what's it doing here?
Maybe they sent it to
the owner of this place
as some sort of payment or
reward for helping them.
- Let's try it out.
- What?
Let's see if this sucker works.
You want to summon a demon?
Come on, please?
OK.
What about you, Samantha?
I guess, whatever.
I'm sorry.
But I'd like to strongly object to
the whole summoning a demon plan.
Yes, yes, thank you, one
reasonable person in the group.
Yeah, shut up, Adam, you're
just trying to get laid.
Fine, we'll vote.
OK, who doesn't want to
try summoning a demon?
Oh, three to two, you lose.
Hooray for democracy.
This is Ryan.
Leave a message.
Hey...
It's me.
Look, I wanted to tell you that
what happened to me the other
day, it wasn't your fault.
It was just really
upset at the time.
But I wanted to tell
you that I miss you.
And I love you so much.
- Oh my God.
- I'm sorry.
Is everything OK?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Uh, they're ready for us, so.
Oh, OK.
OK, it says the words
of the incantation
are not as important as
the rhythm and intention.
Also, all of the dice
bones have to land
inside the center area of the
pentagram for the summoning to work.
Got it?
Got it!
OK, here we go.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
show us your face.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
appear in this place.
Shit.
You suck!
It was a bad roll.
Fine, you go next, Travis.
We're about to get
ourselves a demon.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
come out and play.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
this is totally gay!
Travis!
That's how I roll, sweetheart.
Shitty roll.
OK, Neesa, your turn.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
blood runs red.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
wake the dead.
Nice roll.
Now what?
I don't understand.
It...
How did you break it?
When did you break your arm?
Kia! Kia?
Kia, what's going on?
What's happening to her?
Oh my God!
Something's coming out!
- Oh! Is that a hand?
- Oh my God!
What the fuck!?
What the hell?
Come on! Come on!
Come on!
Hurry! Hurry!
The door!
The door!
No way that just happened!
What was that?
Was that Kia? Was that Kia?
- It came out of Kia.
- What did?
The demon we just summoned!
There's no such thing as demons!
Hello, 911?
911, what's your emergency.
Yes, we're at the old
factory of Highway 5.
Someone or something
just killed our friend.
And I think it's
trying to kill us.
What the fuck?!
Surprise.
You weren't expecting
that, were you, fucker?
Frankly, I thought this was
going to be a lot harder.
That's what she said!
Wait!
Where's Travis?
Oh, shit!
You guys get out of here!
And I'm going to
go back for him!
- No!
- Are you crazy? That thing will kill you!
Shit.
What are you waiting for?
Let's get out of here!
What's wrong?
Remember you told me to tell you
before I did something stupid?
Yeah.
I'm about to do
something stupid.
You're going to get
yourself killed, Neesa.
I don't care!
Well, I do!
We'll go and get help!
What if they're dead
by the time we get back?
What if they're already dead?
Shit!
No! No! No! No!
I never was good at that.
Adam!
Kia!
Don't worry, Travis!
I'll only put the tip in!
Kia!
Adam?
Travis?
Travis!
Shh, shh.
It's still close by.
Shit!
You guys almost gave
me a heart attack.
Travis is dead.
We better get the
fuck out here, OK?
- Who's got the keys?
- I do.
Let's go.
Hurry!
What's down there?
It looks like a garbage chute.
I'm not going down there.
Yes, you are.
Hello?
Well, I got a lead at least.
Talked to Jeff over at Grady's.
He said they stopped in
there and bought some beer
on the way out of town.
Said they headed
down farm road 82.
What's out there?
About 50 miles of cow
crap, not much else.
I'm starting to freak out.
Relax, Nancy, I'll find her.
Do you have any idea where they
may have headed out that way?
No, I would...
I know where she went.
I wasn't eavesdropping.
So who turned on the furnace?
Maybe it was the demon.
Why would the demon
turn on the furnace?
Atmosphere?
Maybe he was cold.
It's 100 degrees out.
Maybe he's hungry?
Sure is a long ways out here.
You guys better not be
wasting my fucking time.
I'm telling you, man, these old
warehouses are full of copper.
This place better
have a bathroom.
Really?
Again?
Why don't you just go pop a
squat behind a bush somewhere.
Hello?
There could be poison ivy.
Hey, there's lights on.
Do you think there's
somebody inside maybe?
If they are, we'll
fuck their shit up.
Yeah, there should be
some good shit in here.
Oh fuck yes.
Look at this fucking place.
Hey, Star!
You want me to come with you?
I'd rather be horribly murdered.
All right.
It's your loss.
Yeah, get that metal, baby.
What's that, Mely?
Whoo!
Can you hear me now?
Tinkle, tinkle, little star.
Hey, what the fuck?
Is that you, Andy?
You fucking pervert.
You need to get the
fuck out of here.
Holy shit.
Yeah!
Fuck yeah, baby.
Hello?
Hello?
Is anybody there?
Shh!
Looks like we're just
in time for dinner.
Shit!
You kids nearly made me chuck
a mud guppy in my grippers.
I was just in the back
emptying my piss jars.
Ew! Who are you?
Mr friends called me Choctaw
Bill, back when I had friends.
Well, I'm Neesa.
This is Sam and Adam...
We don't have time for this. OK,
that thing is trying to kill us.
What thing?
We don't know.
I know this sounds crazy.
But it's like... it's
like some sort of demon.
A demon?
You mean Knucklebones?
Please tell me you kids didn't.
We did.
Oh man, I knew
this would happen.
Wait, you know about this thing?
We had a run-in a while back.
My mother used to work
here back in the '70s.
She used to bring me with her.
We couldn't afford no daycare.
But late one night,
me and the other kids
were playing hide and
go seek in the basement.
That's when I found
the bone dice.
We thought it was a damn game.
The demon killed everyone...
my mother, the other kids,
would have killed me too.
But I hid.
I've always been a good hider.
It wasn't a game.
But there were rules.
They describe something
called the banishment ritual.
Instead of all of them landing
in the center of the pentagram,
this time each dice had to
land at a separate point
in the star.
The demon almost got me.
But I squirmed away and ran
back up to the summoning circle.
I got real lucky with that roll,
one in a million shot, I'd wager.
And, poof, just like that,
the demon was gone.
Shortly after that,
some men in black suits
came and escorted
me off the premises.
We found the dice in
a box in the basement,
sealed behind a wall.
I was afraid of that.
Been coming here for
years looking for them.
Eventually, I just
moved on in here.
There wasn't anything about any
kind of banishment ritual, though.
I was afraid of that too.
I've had a long time
think about this.
Call me crazy if you want.
But I think the whole thing is
some sort of military weapon.
You're crazy.
Think about it.
Release this thing in a
heavily populated area.
No one knows anything about
it, or how to get rid of it.
Thing could kill millions...
supernatural warfare.
But now that we know
about this ritual,
we can get rid of it, right?
We still need the dice.
And they're back
upstairs, right?
We're not going to
make it in time.
Plus, you said it was a lucky roll,
right, a one in a million chance?
That's not very good odds.
So what are we going to do?
I think we should
just run for it.
That's because you don't
know shit from apple butter.
Hell, you'd never even
make it to the main road.
That thing is as fast
as it wants to be.
The only reason
you're not all dead already
is 'cause it likes
fucking with you.
Demons feed on your fear.
What if two of us create a distraction
and the other two go for the dice?
So who's going to
create the distraction?
I will.
I'll go with you.
Sam, you go with Choctaw Bill and
perform the banishment ritual.
Hold on a second.
I'm fucking this bull.
You kids are just
holding the horns.
Fine, what's your plan?
We'll do what you just said.
- Neesa?
- What?
In case we don't make it.
Sam, we're going to make it, OK?
I promise.
You kids ready?
Time to paint your butts white
and run with the antelope.
Back up the garbage chute.
I don't see him.
Let's go for it.
It's a trap.
We wait for the signal.
OK, let's go.
I can't.
I'm too scared.
Fine, stay here.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
make this roll.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
save my soul.
Looks like you used up
all your luck, little Billy!
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
death and decay.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones
go away!
Say hello to your mother for me.
Run away, little girl!
Run away!
Oh my God.
Sam!
- Neesa, it's going to be fine.
- No, it's not!
- It's going to be fine!
- No!
Hello again, Neesa!
We met before, in hell!
You and I are gonna
have a lot of fun together.
You stay away from her!
Sam!
Neesa, get down!
Sheriff!
There's bodies and
blood everywhere!
What the hell are you
kids doing out here?
Stay there!
No!
Come back here! Please!
No!
We have to get out of here!
Please!
You didn't kill it!
You can't kill it!
We gotta get out of here!
Never bring a
gun to a knife fight!
You spoiled little girl.
Fine, if you won't play with me,
I'll find someone else who will.
Later tater.
No!
You stay away from her,
you fucker!
Mom! Going to bed!
Night!
Shit!
No!
Fuck!
Shit!
Gotcha.
Mom!
Mom!
Stop it!
You're acting like a child!
They're coming for you.
Look!
There comes one of them now!
Aw, you're so pretty.
I could just eat your bones.
Is it weird that I like
the sound of screaming?
Got you.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
fire and flame.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones
go back where you came.
Shit!
This is impossible!
Knucklebones, Knucklebones,
live to tell.
Knucklebones, Knucklebones
go to hell.
Help!
Help!
Somebody?
Help!
Is anybody still there?
Sam!
Oh, hey, Neesa.
You're still alive.
You bitch!
Ow.
Jesus, Ryan, you scared
the shit out of me.
What? I'm sorry.
Did I scare you?
You have no idea what
I've just been through.
What have you been through?
I'm sorry, babe, but I
haven't heard from you.
You haven't been responding
to my text messages.
And, you know, I've been getting
serious Samantha withdrawals.
And the doctors
said the only cure
was for me to come
see you tonight.
I know.
I lost my phone.
Look, Ryan,
I'm not really feeling
comfortable with all this
right now.
Wait, wait, did
you say something?
I'm serious.
Neesa's my friend.
This isn't right.
I mean, she tried
to kill herself
when you broke up with her.
You didn't tell her that the two
of us were together, did you?
- Of course not.
- Of course not.
I would never
hurt her like that.
Yet, you were having
sex with her boyfriend
for six months behind her back?
I never said I was perfect.
And, plus, you are really cute.
Really?
Hold on.
What? What's wrong?
I think I got a cramp.
It's fine.
Ah!
Fuck!
God!
God dammit!
I think I broke my leg.
Not again.
This can't be.
What's happening to me?!
Oh my God.
Hey, Sam!
We found your cell phone.
No!
Neesa, I'm sorry!
Please!
Hey, Neesa,
I told you we were gonna have
a lot of fun together!
