NFT: Cursed Images (2026) Movie Script

1
[eerie music]
- Hey.
- Oh. [Chuckles]
- What?
- Wash your hands.
- [scoffs]
- Why?
Come here.
Couldn't wait till we got home?
Come on, you know how it is
when you need to go.
[chuckles] Yeah.
[sighs]
What did you think
of the party, then?
Um, I thought Margaret
had one too many.
- [snickers] Didn't she?
- [chuckles]
[eerie music]
What?
What is it?
Um, nothing.
It... it... it
it was probably nothing.
Sue, what was it?
It... it was an
animal or something.
It passed.
Right. It was probably
just a fox, babe.
It was too big to be a fox.
Um, can we... can
we just go home?
Yeah. That's where we were
originally going, remember?
Okay, can we go
that way, please?
That... Babe, no.
[scoffs] Look, it's
gonna take forever
if we don't just cut
through the park here.
What's going on with
you today, babe?
You've been acting
weird all night long.
God, you're gonna
think I'm so stupid.
It's this thing with Bonnie.
She gave me this image. [Scoffs]
What image?
You know, like, one of those,
um... those NFT things.
- [sighs]
- Here.
Oh. Babe
don't tell me you're getting
into those online scams, man.
NFTs, yeah?
They're nothing
but pump-and-dump schemes.
Yeah, okay, I know,
Mark. I-I-I know.
It's just that she's been making
a lot of money, okay?
- And... and a lot of people
are. - [sighs]
It's not just her.
Oh, I can't believe this.
Um, just... listen to me, okay?
She gave me an image
that somebody else gave her.
Right. Okay.
- And I thought nothing of it.
- She thought nothing of it.
She was being nice, and then she
called me earlier today,
and she was act...
she was acting weird.
Well
well, weird how?
She said that the
image was cursed.
[music continues]
Babe, what?
She said that there are dozens
of these cursed images,
and they're being shared online.
And then she hung up.
And I-I tried to call her back,
but she didn't answer.
And I've been trying
to reach her all night.
- [scoffs]
- Babe, babe
[sighs] It's Bonnie, okay?
It's a Friday night in London.
She's probably coked
out of her little mind.
- You're not listening to me.
- You didn't hear her, okay?
- She sounded really scared.
- [sighs]
[music continues]
[odd clicking]
Did you hear that?
Mark?
[ominous music]
Mark.
[running footsteps,
distant shriek]
[screams]
[panting]
[music continues]
[cell phone vibrates]
[crying]
[branches snapping]
[screams]
[suspenseful music]
[electronic music]
[clears throat] Okay, guys,
raise your glasses.
To Kit.
- All: To Kit.
- Ah, ah, ah, ah.
It is Captain Kit
now, motherfuckers.
All: To Captain Kit. [Laughter]
The luckiest crypto
trader alive.
Hey, man, if you didn't ape in
and lose money
on every single project
you invested in,
then maybe you could be mooring
next to me now.
I'm not working
for a 20-year-old Gen Z boss.
- [laughter]
- Yeah.
Oh, tell me about it. [Chuckles]
[groans]
Fucking rich kids,
man, taking over.
[sighs]
See, my current boss
he made his fortune
with meme coins,
and now he's got
his own business.
- It wasn't that easy for us.
- Here we go again.
No, no, no, man.
This ain't funny.
Think about it.
Our generation got fucked over
from the start.
By the time we were joining
the workforce,
the crash of 2008 happened.
Yeah, it was a good
time for me, too.
Yeah, it is scientifically
proven that us millennials
are the most
well-educated generation
earning the lowest wages.
We got caught up in
a transition period.
What the hell
are you talking about, man?
Think about it, man.
By the time our parents were 30,
they had their own houses.
And most of us can't even afford
a mortgage.
We need to find other
ways to succeed,
alternating gigs on top of the
full-time jobs we already have
that is, the ones of us who have
the time to do that, anyways.
[scoffs]
Man, like, these Gen Z's,
they have it easy as well, man,
with all the free time and
opportunity coming their way.
I mean, if you have easy access
to Mummy and Daddy's wallet,
you can buy a decent amount
of crypto and make some profit
without even having to leave
your bedroom.
[groans] You are so bitter, man.
Before they even finish college,
these kids are already earning
more money than us, man.
By the time we finished college,
the same old prick's
still running the companies
that we were working for, giving
us shit entry-level jobs.
Dan, are you even a millennial?
- Dan's clearly a Boomer.
- Doomer, more like.
[laughter]
[laughs sarcastically]
Yeah, fuck you all.
- I'm one of the OG millennials.
- Oh, so, old, then.
Oh, yeah, yeah, you know,
the ones that everyone
still called Gen Y and liked
before all the SJWs came
and spoiled our rep.
Listen, if you had just bought
into Bitcoin when I told you to,
you wouldn't be
the bitter old man you are now.
- Oh.
- [chuckles]
Are you still mining Bitcoin?
Nah, I cashed mine
out when it hit 1K.
I thought it was a
pretty good deal.
You still managed to cash in
that last SHIB pump, right?
- You know it.
- So wait.
While I was away, you guys just,
what, all got rich off crypto?
Oh, yeah, all of us except
Paper-hands Dan here.
[laughter]
Well, you guys are
all weak, though.
The real money's in NFTs.
Hey, I'm still buying
NFTs, too, all right?
I-I paid for my boat's generator
with DOGE Pound Puppies.
But you still don't hold
a Moody Krow, though,
- do you, fool?
- I am a flipper.
- [scoffs] You see, that's...
- that's what I'm saying.
Our parents had the money
to buy a house and a car.
And we need to be,
what, taking risks
buying digital salmon online?
I mean, fucking hell.
Give me strength.
Wait, wait, wait. NFTs?
Hello?
Non-fungible
tokens, digital art.
On what planet
have you been living, man?
No, I-I've heard about it.
I just don't, like...
I don't get it.
- What's the point?
- [snickers]
Mate, you're not missing
much, anyways.
- [knocking on door]
- I'll get it.
- What's wrong with you?
- What? I've got a life.
- Give me a break.
- Thank you.
Listen, listen, it's like, do
as I say, but don't do as I do.
- Hey, guys. How are you?
- How you doing?
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey.
[laughter, indistinct chatter]
Hey.
James, you're back.
Uh, yeah, I guess so.
Um, it's good to see you.
You too. [Chuckles awkwardly]
I'm gonna grab a beer, actually.
- Do... do you want one?
- No, I'm... I'm good.
I'm gonna...
- You guys want beers?
- Yeah.
Go see whatever
Sarah is doing right now.
[moody music]
I can't believe you let
Julia bring Cass, man.
Hey, I didn't know she
was bringing her over, okay?
- [sighs]
- Guys, it's fine.
I didn't even want
the birds here
in the first place, all right?
I wanted this to
be a boys' night.
Look, I told you,
Julia's been on my ass
since we went alone
to that Korean party.
You guys still go to Vauxhall?
Yeah, me and Kit
still go, but shh.
I can't believe
you sometimes, Nes.
Hey, you're the one
who brought Sarah over.
Yeah, Sarah's one
of the fucking boys, remember?
Guys, honestly, all
right, it's cool.
This was bound to happen
sooner or later.
Look, James, I swear,
I didn't even know
she was gonna bring Cass over.
Forget about it, okay?
We're all from the same
friendship group.
I mean, you guys
can't just stop hanging out
because we broke up.
- You sure you're okay?
- Yeah. It's cool.
- We're all adults.
- Here he is.
Speaking of adults,
just gonna grab a cerveza.
Mm-hmm.
You can have that
one. I'll get one.
- Oh, cheers, man.
- Yeah.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- How's it going?
- Yeah, it's fine.
- Anything good in there?
- I wish.
[chuckles] I thought
he'd have a stash hidden away.
- No.
- I know he does.
I'm sure he will
somewhere in here.
I just don't know where it is.
- Have you checked the plant?
- [chuckles]
I am so sorry.
I did not realize he
was going to be here.
It's fine. It's totally fine.
Oh, my God, is this the first
time you've seen each other
since the breakup?
Guys, it was bound to happen
at some point.
- That's right. Shh.
- We're adults.
Like, we're just going to have
a nice, cordial, casual drink.
And we'll be friendly,
and it'll be nice.
It'll be nice.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
I'm fine, fine.
Yeah, he was just saying
that he got made redundant
during the pandemic,
so he's been on furlough
the last six months.
Serves him right
for choosing a job over you.
- Prick.
- Too right.
Hey. Hey.
Uh, babe, can I have a word?
Can you not grab me
like that, please?
I guess it's not so bad
being single, after all.
Better than being stuck
with a prick like him.
Guess so.
- Should we go get a drink?
- Yeah. Make it a strong one.
Yeah, come on.
Oh, yeah, that'd be great.
Yes, please.
[electronic music]
[sighs]
So how's the job hunt going?
Oh, you know, it's going.
Um, just applying
to some design agencies
fishing, see if
I can get a bite.
I'm sure something
will bite eventually.
Yeah.
Um,
- so you back in the city or...?
- Yeah, yeah.
No, I've got a
place in Greenwich.
Cool, cool, cool.
Just trying to get used
to London prices again.
Yeah, I can imagine it's a lot
more expensive than Norwich.
A little bit, yeah.
So, what, did you, like, miss
the city or...?
Well, I missed...
So what have you
losers been up to?
We were just explaining
to our friend James here
what NFTs are.
- You don't know what NFTs are?
- No, I know what they are.
I just, like...
I don't have any.
Well, you're missing out, or
you've been living under a rock
- this whole time.
- Wait, wait.
- You're into NFTs?
- Well, I mean, yeah.
I like art, and I'm not about
to miss out on an opportunity
to make money, so...
But you're always so, like,
reserved and risk-averse.
What...
Well, times change, James,
and people change.
So, yeah
I mean, no risk,
no reward, right?
I used to say that.
What the fuck?
Speaking of NFTs, I
just made 0.5 ether
on one of those Sevens
or whatever they're called.
- Oh!
- I'm a genius.
Go on, Julia.
She doesn't even know
what it's called,
and she's making money.
Yeah, Sevens, they were
super hyped at the start.
Wait, wait. Isn't that
the project that got attacked
by a hacker and the value
decreased in, like, seconds?
Well, it went back up
because the hacker
had a change of heart.
He returned the pieces,
and the price popped again.
Well, why didn't
you tell me, babe?
I mean, I sold mine at a loss.
Well, I thought you had
them diamond hands, babe.
All right, so am I
getting this right?
Everyone's just,
like, into NFTs now?
Pretty much, yeah.
Do you remember when I told you
that crypto was like
stocks on steroids?
Well, NFTs are like
crypto on crack.
Yeah, there's a new
collection dropping
almost every single day.
And if you choose
the right projects,
you make so much money.
My NFT portfolio is
pretty much equal in size
to my crypto portfolio,
and I only started last month.
[whispering] I'm up 7K already.
Oh, give me a fucking break.
This is all one big rug-pull.
These NFTs are a trend that's
not going to last very long.
- Oh, fuck you, man.
- NFTs are here to stay.
Yeah.
So I bought into these
"projects," right?
I paid 800 quid
for 2 stupid JPEGs,
the same ones that those stupid
influencers were buying.
That's where you're going wrong.
Well, yeah, the next day
the price was down to 60 quid.
- You got burnt bad, mate.
- Shit.
- But it's a lesson, maybe.
- You can say that.
Look, the key is not to buy
when everyone else is buying.
It's being a step ahead of the
herd and buying before it pops.
Yes, exactly, and then selling
and then taking profits
before the rug gets pulled.
And, like, not all
of them are scams.
Some of them have, like, really
great communities behind them,
and they're good
for long-term holds.
All right, so let's say I
wanted to get into NFTs.
Hypothetically
how would you go about starting?
So you want to join the NFuniverse, James, is that it?
Uh, it's the met a verse.
James, are you saying
you would like our help
in purchasing your first NFT?
- Is that what you're saying?
- Yes.
Yes, I think that might be
what I'm asking.
He sounds like he's
about to lose his virginity.
[laughter]
Are we really doing this, then?
Are we helping our friend
mint his first NFT?
- Let's do this.
- I'm down.
Hey, if you're
buying, I'm buying.
- Yes.
- Why not?
What's it gonna be, FOMO fucker?
[sighs] Man, I can't keep
losing money on this shit.
Dan, you got to flip NFTs now
or flip burgers later.
It's your choice.
Fuck my life.
[laughter]
So you want to make sure
that you got plenty
of Ethereum or Solana.
You've still got a
crypto wallet, right?
Uh, yeah, like,
MetaFox or some shit.
It's called MetaMask.
Ooh, gas is looking
pretty good today, Sarah.
What are we buying?
Just checking what's trending
on OpenSea and Solana now.
Okay, you got to do
your own research.
I'm talking Becker,
JRNY Crypto, EllioTrade.
They're all into NFTs.
So, whatever they tell
you to buy, you buy.
Got it? Yeah?
All right, good talk.
Oh, here, man. [Groans]
Here, you can have some
of my crypto horses, man.
There you go. I don't
really give a shit.
- You can have them for free.
- Oh, are you sure?
- I mean, I can give you...
- No, no, no, no.
Forget about it. You're
doing me a favor.
I've been trying to get rid
of them for months.
- Oh, thanks, I guess.
- Yeah.
[both laugh]
- Right...
- All right.
So you've got
my crypto-wallet address now.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Just send me something anytime.
- Wait a minute.
- What do you mean by mint?
Okay, so each NFT has
a unique code written into it.
Meaning no two NFTs
will ever be the same.
Even if they look
and feel the same,
there will always at least be
a slight difference.
Like the color,
background, attributes
- of each image are different.
- Mm-hmm.
So you are the unique
owner of that NFof its kind in existence.
So, when you mint your NFT,
you will be creating your very
own and unique art form.
Unless, of course,
you're buying
from the secondary market,
in which case you'd be buying
from someone like me,
who minted at a low price
and will sell it to
you for twice as much.
Yeah, which is why
you want to get in early.
- [snaps fingers]
- Right.
And that's fun for you?
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
I mean, look at these
legendary duckies
we're looking at right now.
I still can't get my head
around you being into this.
So, all right, what do you have?
Something with a good
community behind them
like this one.
- James, you paying attention?
- Yeah, I'm... I'm listening.
You're talking about
community, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
But it's not on my face.
It's on the screen, so I'm
not going to have to repeat it
- over and over and over again.
- All right. All right.
- Surprise, surprise.
- Somebody's not listening.
Um, does somebody else want
to explain it to him?
- I'm going to get another
drink. - Oh, hang on. Hey.
- Well, people do copy it.
- Hmm.
- See the blue check mark?
- It's just like Twitter.
It's not the
official collection.
[cell phone vibrating]
Yo, the weirdest
thing just happened.
What?
Some random person
just transferred seven NFTs
to my account.
Is that normal?
Maybe check the wallet address
on the Etherscan.
Check this out.
It's from a collection
called Crypto Horrors.
What'd you say the name was?
Crypto Horrors.
Pretty standard
name, to be honest.
Holy shit. Those are the ones.
- Ones what?
- What?
You guys haven't heard
of Crypto Horrors?
Enlighten us, please, NFT queen.
Crypto Horrors NFTs.
Everyone on Reddit is freaking
out about them at the moment.
They say they're
real cursed images.
- Oh, get out of here.
- Oh, Jesus Christ.
These... like, I know these
things are super underground,
but people are talking
about them recently.
There's only 666 of them,
and they get AirDropped to you
from some unknown
wallet at random.
Ooh.
And then you're cursed.
- What the fuck?
- Come on, Sarah.
[laughter]
I'm serious.
I've seen so many videos
of people saying
they're genuinely cursed.
And, Kit, seriously, if you
hold on to them for too long,
you'll start seeing
things, hearing things.
Seems like you're already
talking with NFTs, Sarah.
I heard some people that
got them died all of a sudden.
Okay, okay, I-I actually have
to get up early tomorrow,
and I'm... I'm literally
getting creeped out.
- Absolutely not.
- Hey, no, fuck this.
If this shit's really cursed,
then I'm sharing
- the curse with my friends.
- Hey, man.
- No, you can keep that shit.
- No, don't do that.
Oh, yeah, you're all
laughing at me now,
but I'm sending
each one of these
to each one of
you motherfuckers.
- Oh, my God.
- Great.
It's too late. I'm
sharing the curse.
- Oh, man, no.
- You're such a dick.
It's too late, Sarah.
I already sent one
to your wallet.
And one for Julia
and one for Nes.
Hey, don't send me
this random rubbish, man.
If you AirDrop it,
it's probably a scam.
If you interact with it,
it's going to probably steal
your information.
Oh, it's too late.
I've already sent it.
And one for Cass
and one for James.
And you get one,
too, Paper-hands Dan.
Right. I think I'm gonna keep
this snake-headed woman.
I like her look.
How come you sent me
the cursed hooded chav?
'Cause I know you
like chavs, babe.
Oh, charming.
- Cass, what did you get?
- I got the Wallcrawler.
Ooh.
- Ew.
- Ooh.
[laughter]
- Creepy as fuck.
- I got the Siamese Twins.
Pretty sure we're not allowed
to say that anymore, but creepy.
- Yeah.
- What'd you get, Dan?
Yeah, I got the,
um, Upside-Down Man.
- Mm.
- Hmm.
Mm.
How about you?
I got the Floating Head.
Fucking creepy.
- Ah!
- Oh!
- Oh, my fucking God.
- Jesus Christ.
I got the Cotton-Nose Blonde,
by the way.
- Yeah, nobody asked.
- [snickers]
That's cool. You're
into blondes.
For now.
And on that note, I think
I'm actually ready for bed, too.
So how about everyone
gets the fuck out
and enjoys their little curse?
- You are such a dickhead.
- Wow.
- What a host.
- Sorry.
Gracious host, as always.
I got to curse you and love
you and leave you, guys.
- You're on my jacket.
- You're on my jacket.
Sorry.
[ominous music]
So what are you
doing after this?
What, you mean at 2:00 a.m.?
I'm going home, and
I'm going to bed.
Really?
I remember when you used
to party till, like, 8:00 a.m.
I'm not 20 anymore, James.
That was a long time ago.
It's just different.
Cass, can I stay
at yours tonight?
At mine? Yeah. Yeah, what's up?
Nes is being a dick again.
- Yeah, that's fine.
- Thanks.
- I'm just gonna clean up a bit.
- Okay.
- I'll, uh, grab a cab.
- Sounds good.
- Nice to see you, James.
- Good to see you, Jules.
Some people, though,
they don't change.
Mm-hmm. Some people don't.
Okay, come on.
We've talked about this
already, haven't we?
I'm not sleeping over.
I'm just saying,
it's... it's late.
You can't go out there
by yourself like that.
I'm just looking out
for you. That's all.
Yeah, sure.
- Excuse me, guys.
- Yeah.
Just mind if I just
pop these here.
Pop them anywhere.
- I'll sort them out.
- Awesome.
- Cass, here's your coat.
- Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Do you want to get
an Uber with us?
Nah, I'm fine. I'll walk.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- It's 2:00 in the morning.
- Yes, exactly.
It is far too dangerous
to walk home alone.
Guys, I've got pepper spray.
- I'll be fine.
- Oh, of course.
Yeah, besides, me and Julia
started learning Krav Maga.
- That's true. We did.
- Got to get my practice in.
Oh, my goodness, at least take
a cab with us halfway.
At least do that.
Cass, like, I've got
this step-count thing at work,
and I've done fuck-all
already today, so...
She's a strong,
independent woman.
- She's got this.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm walking.
You guys go.
Fine.
Call me when you
get there, okay?
- Sure, Mom.
- You should call me, too.
- [scoffs] No.
- Jesus.
- Fine. Get out of here.
- Thanks for having us.
Remember, do your
own research, okay?
Don't just jump in and jump out
on these NFTs
- based on other people.
- Okay, yeah. Got it, Dad.
Hey, I'm serious, man.
I make twice as much as you
on my day job alone.
Look, it's time for
you to change your life
and make some real money
for a change.
Yeah, there's no
need to be a dick
just because your girl
left you again, man.
Hey, yo, that's off-limits, man.
Oh, my bad.
[cell phone chiming]
[eerie music]
[phone clicks off]
[odd rattling]
[rattling continues]
[music continues]
[cell phone chimes]
[odd rattling, low
growling, scratching]
Fucking rat?
[scratching]
Fucking rat.
[scratching continues]
[eerie music]
[scratching, odd rattling]
[ethereal shrieking]
[discordant music]
[ethereal shrieking]
Shit.
- [sighs]
- What?
Please tell me
you have my phone.
No.
Oh, great.
- Do you want me to call it?
- Yes, please.
[sighs] I think I might
have left it at Kit's.
[line trilling]
[gasping, groaning]
[cell phone ringing]
- [line trilling]
- Nobody's answering.
Great.
Well, I need my phone.
I'll have to go back and get it.
[sighs] Will you come with me?
What?
It's Nes.
He's apologizing,
wants me to go over.
Of course he does.
It's fine. I'll
just go by myself.
What? No. It's so late.
What else am I supposed to do?
I can take a cab back.
Doesn't James live quite close?
[sighs] No.
I know what you're doing. No.
And he lives miles away.
Cass, I'm not letting
you go on your own.
James will come. You
just have to call.
- No, I'm not calling him.
- Okay, fine. I will.
No. Julia, no, no, no, no, no.
[elevator clanking,
cell phone vibrating]
Hey, Julia. What's up?
No, it's, um... it's Cass. Uh...
Just tell him to go with you.
Yeah, I just... I think I left
my phone at Kit's.
I was going to go with Julia,
but she's going to Nes's,
um, so I was actually just gonna
go on my own and get it.
Okay. No, no, I'll call an Uber.
Thanks.
Okay, bye.
[sighs]
See? Told you.
Whatever.
[ominous music]
[cell phone chimes]
[music continues]
[ethereal shrieking]
[music continues]
[water lapping softly]
[crunching]
[screaming]
[train screeches]
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm good. Um...
Probably shouldn't be walking
around here late at night.
- It's rough out here.
- It's fine.
- What's up? Is Kit not
answering? - No. It's weird.
Been calling him, texting him.
Think he went out?
I mean, it is Kit.
He's a pretty
spontaneous guy, right?
[doorbell buzzing]
[droning music]
Look, why are we coming
all the way up here
if we don't even know he's in?
Because it's my
phone. I need it.
Besides, if he's passed out,
I can just bang on the door
and wake him up.
James.
[door creaking]
James, I don't like this.
Can you, uh... can you call
my phone, please?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
What the fuck?
[sighs]
It's ringing.
[cell phone ringing]
- James?
- Hmm?
What is that?
Is that blood?
Oh, for God's sake, not again.
- What?
- [sighs]
Nes was telling me.
Kit's been using drugs again
ever since Sarah blew him off.
So, what, you think he did
all this by himself?
I don't know, Cass.
I mean, he has gone
a bit mental before, hasn't he?
- I'm calling the cops.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait, no.
We can't find Kit.
The place is trashed.
There's blood on the floor.
I'm calling the police.
No, that's a total
overreaction, all right?
He's probably just
gone to Sarah's.
[scoffs] So him with Sarah
in the state that he's in now
is a better situation?
Look, let's just, first of all,
find out if he's there, okay?
I'll call Sarah, find
out if he's there,
- and find out if she's okay.
- No, I'll call Sarah.
She's more likely to
pick up if I call her.
Call Kit.
[sighs]
It's going straight
to voicemail.
[cell phone ringing]
[ringing continues]
James
what if something bad happened?
- [sighs] Come on.
- Seriously, nothing's happened.
Then why isn't Sarah
answering her phone?
It's late.
They've been drinking
and doing drugs all night.
What do you expect?
She told me that
she would call me
as soon as she got home,
and she hasn't done that.
I'm going to go check on Sarah.
[scoffs] Cass
it's half past 3:00
in the morning.
It's just a few
blocks away from mine.
[sighs] Fine. All right.
I'll come with you.
No.
Why don't you just
go check with Nes,
see if he's heard from Kit?
He's the one that
supplies him, anyway.
Seriously?
Yes, seriously, or
I'm calling the police
and reporting two
missing people.
[sighs]
You... you really want me
to go all the way to Nes's now?
James, I don't
know him that well,
and you seem to know
about the situation
between Kit and Nes
much better than I do.
This whole night
has just been weird.
- First, you show up, and
then... - All right.
The place is trashed.
Kit's phone's here.
Sarah's not answering.
Okay, all right.
Fine, fine, fine.
I'm going to call Nes before
I just rock up at his flat
in the middle of the
night, then, okay?
- Fine. Fine.
- Fine. Fine.
[sighs]
[eerie music]
[ethereal shrieking]
Aah! James! James! James!
What is it?
[breathing heavily]
I just... I, um.
I saw someone.
[pants]
Cass, there's no one here.
Oh...
It's fine. It's fine.
I-I just...
Look, I don't know what I saw.
I just want to get out of here,
and I don't...
Look, I don't know
what I saw. I just...
I-I'm probably just freaked out
by what Sarah said, so...
What, about the NFTs?
Yeah, I mean...
No, I-I just...
Look, I-I am just freaked out,
and I just want to
find our friends.
- Cass, Cass, Cass. Hey.
- And I just want to get
out of here, and
I want to go home.
- It's okay, all right?
- We'll find them, okay?
Okay.
Whoa, what are you doing?
- Trying my luck.
- [scoffs]
James, I'm seeing someone.
- You are?
- I am.
And you're the one that broke up
with me, remember?
Lock up, dickhead.
Cass, wait.
[steady electronic music]

In this video, we're
gonna be talking
about why there's
life-changing opportunity
in the NFT space right now,
what type of projects
you should be looking for
in major upcoming events,
and why we're still extremely
early to the NFT space.
So, before we get started,
I do appreciate, if you
guys like the video,
subscribe to the channel
if you haven't already,
and hit the bell to be notified
for regular videos.
[soft jingle plays]
All right, everyone...
[cell phone ringing]
- [sighs] This better be good.
- I was sleeping.
Tell me you saw it, too.
Saw what?
Your NFT, man.
[chuckles] What?
Hear me out.
Something happened to me when
I was coming back home tonight.
I-I heard this voice.
At first, I thought
it was a bunch of kids
just playing pranks,
so I-I ignored it
and kept on walking.
But eventually,
this voice started to sound
- a bit more disturbing.
- Dan?
I just had this feeling
that I was being followed.
So I turned around, and I...
Bro, I-I kid you not.
I saw this person.
I'm not even sure to call it
a person... it was a figure.
And its head
it was turned upside down.
[chuckles] Get out of here, man.
You're drunk.
I-I-I swear to you.
I know this sounds
completely bat shit,
but I'm starting to think
that story Sarah told us
about those cursed images...
I-I'm starting to
think that's true.
This is you trying
to get back at me
for the time I made you sell
your Bitcoin at 100 quid.
This isn't going to work, man.
Dude, I don't give a shit
about that right now, okay?
J-just hear me out.
[sighs] Dan...
Look, you told me
to do my research, remember?
Well, I have been doing
my own research
on these things for
the last two hours,
and I'm starting to think
they're really cursed.
Dan, give it a rest.
It's 3:00 a.m. in the morning.
I'm in no mood for prank calls.
Listen, we're still early.
We have time to get out of this.
[sighs] That's some
heavy FUD, man.
Nes, I am serious, okay?
Look, I've been
watching these videos
and reading these forums.
People go missing
playing with these.
Yeah, right.
These images are
based on creatures
said to exist in
different mythologies.
Each of these creatures
are said to have
appeared multiple times
throughout the ages
in different countries.
They're the stuff different
cultures grow fearing as kids.
So you're telling me
that all these entities
are based off
old-school legends?
Yes.
But what are those legends
based off in the first place?
I don't know, man.
What are urban legends based off
folklore?
What if they're based on curses
that actually exist?
What are you smoking?
You got the Cotton-Nose
Blonde, right?
The first tale about her
came out in 18th-century Brazil.
She was a rich woman
who died a violent death
at the hands of her lover
once he found out
that she was cheating on him.
Her spirit hunts
evil men ever since.
[doorbell rings]
Remember, you told me
that each NFT is unique, right?
Well, each curse is unique.
No two of them
would be the same.
All right, listen,
you're being weird.
- I got to go.
- Nes, this is serious.
[doorbell rings]
We're in danger.
- All right, cheers, Dan.
- Have a good night, yeah?
- Wait, wait, wait...
- Weird guy.
One thing you need to do is...
Hello?
Nes?
Nes, are you still there?
[sighs]
Motherf...
Why weren't you
opening the door?
- What's up with you?
- I think I'm being followed.
What?
Can we turn the
lights on, please?
Not until you tell me
what's going on, no.
I was just taking that pathway,
that shortcut to get to yours.
I swear, I could hear this woman
crying in the dark.
And then... and
then this happened.
What exactly are
you telling me here?
The eyes are different.
Uh, okay.
I see what's going on here.
So your NFT's coming
to life, right?
What, what, you're
seeing images, right?
- J-just like Dan.
- What are you talking about?
[cell phone vibrating]
This.
This is what I'm talking about.
[cell phone rings]
Nice try, Dan.
Give it a rest now, okay?
So what are you
and Dan up to, hmm?
W-What's the catch?
Wait, Dan's been
hearing things, too?
Julia, please.
Look, just give
me back my phone.
- I need to speak to him.
- [scoffs]
What the hell is wrong
with both of you?
Nes, something is going on,
and I'm not the only one
experiencing it, by
the sounds of it.
- Yeah, right.
- Look, you spoke to Dan.
- What did he say?
- Julia, I'm in no mood.
Why would I be
making this stuff up?
I don't know, man.
- Nothing you do makes any
sense. - Excuse me?
Look, you do whatever
you feel like it
whenever you feel like it,
and you don't give
a crap about anyone.
- What the fuck, Nes?
- You know what?
I don't know what you
and Dan are up to,
but I don't give a damn.
I'm hearing no more of this.
[sighs] Who is it?
It's James, okay?
What does he want?
What's up, bro? It's late.
Did you try Sarah?
What?
No, man, I told you.
I don't do that anymore.
[sighs] Jeez, man.
Fuck, it's a bit much.
Probably just drugged out
of their minds together.
Look, they probably got one
of my hidden stashes somewhere.
[sighs]
Okay, yeah, sure, man,
you can come over.
I'm going to take a shower.
All right.
James is coming over.
Why?
[sighs]
What's going on? Tell me.
Kit and Sarah are missing.
What?
Oh, my God, Sarah.
What's the endgame
here, Julia, hmm?
You're going to keep up
this narrative of haunted NFTs?
Kit and Sarah are missing,
and you still think
I'm making this stuff up?
I don't know what you
and Dan are up to,
but there better be
a very good reason for this.
Look, just give it back.
What, you want
your cursed image back?
Nes, I need to speak to him.
I need to find out
what Dan knows.
[chuckles]
You clearly don't
believe me, do you?
Apologize.
For what?
Apologize for your
horrible behavior
this evening first.
Then I'll give you
your phone back.
You're a fucking
asshole, you know that?
Give it back.
What?
- Give me my phone back.
- No. Stop.
Aah! Aah!
You are the most toxic person
I've ever met.
I hope you get whatever's coming
for you tonight.
- Yeah? Yeah?
- Yeah.
Well, don't bother coming back.
I won't, dick face.
[keys jingle, clatter on floor]
[ominous music]
Jet, what do y'all think?
Listen, listen, listen,
listen, all right, PSA.
Y'all need to stop asking
about this... this...
this cursed-NFT shit, all right?
I think it started on
Reddit or some shit
'cause, you know, everything
starts from Reddit.
They send you a JPEG.
And, apparently, it's got, like,
a ghost or demon in it
or some shit.
Like, they get burned
if they hold NFTs too long.
Like, you know, it loses value.
So, if you hold it too long,
it'll lose the money, right?
This one, apparently,
if you hold the shit too long,
- it kills you.
- No, man.
Like, it straight-up kills you.
First of all, who the fuck
gonna buy some shit like that?
I wish somebody
would have the audacity
to send me a cursed NFT,
'cause you know what I'ma do?
You gonna send that motherfucker
I'm sending that
right back at you.
I'm sending that motherfucker
right back to you.
[cell phone chimes]
[music continues]
[odd chuckle]
[cell phone chiming]
[music continues]
- [ethereal shrieking]
- [growls]
Make sure you call me
when you get there, okay?
Oh, and, James
be careful, mate.
[droning music]
[cell phone chimes]
[line trilling]
Come on, Julia, pick up.
[suspenseful music]
[ominous pounding]
Julia?
[cell phone vibrates]
[ominous pounding]
[door creaking]
[floor creaking]
Julia?
[eerie music]
[soft clatter]
[music continues]
[doorbell buzzes]
Yo, Nes, it's me. Open up.
[doorbell buzzes]
[door clicks]
Fucking jerk.
Okay, I'm at Nes's.
Did you get hold of anyone yet?
No.
Nes and Julia are
not picking up.
Listen, if this whole
cursed-images thing
is some kind of a prank
that you were in on
to welcome me back to London,
it's gone too far, okay?
Dude, something
serious is going on.
- I'm serious, Dan.
- I'm not amused, okay?
I know how you weirdos can get.
Shit.
What?
The door's open,
just like Kit's.
James, be careful, man.
Remember what I told you.
Each curse is unique.
Yes.
And, remember, Nes got
the Cotton-Nose Blonde.
Tell him he needs to show her
her own reflection
in order to stop her.
It's the only way.
[sighs] This is ridiculous.
James, each solution
is different, okay?
- It's how we beat them.
- Okay, Dan.
I'll call you later.
W-wait. James?
[ominous music]
Nes?
It's me.
You guys okay?
I'm coming in.
Nes?
Nes?
Nes?
[eerie music]
[bones cracking]
[suspenseful music]
Fuck.
Nes?
Nes!
[breathing heavily]
[music continues]
[camera shutter clicks]
[screeches]
[shrieking]
[music continues]
[grunting softly]
[sniffles]
[cell phone vibrates]
James.
[breathing heavily] Nes is dead.
[eerie music]
Nes is... is dead.
You were right.
Something's happening to us.
I think we're cursed.
I knew it.
I fucking knew it.
[sniffles] Nes is dead,
and I-I think something's
happened to Julia, too.
[music continues]
Do you, um
do you think Kit
and Sarah are gone, too?
I saw something, man,
in... in Nes's apartment.
What did you see?
- Uh, t-t-t-this woman, this...
- this fucking horrible woman.
She was...
Come on, talk to me.
Let me try and help you.
It's the fucking
NFT, man, the fucking
the... the NFT fucking came
to life and killed Nes.
We... we need to
call the police.
James, where is this woman now?
- [groans]
- Where did she go?
Are you hurt?
[music continues]
[sniffles]
No. No, she... she's... she's
gone. She... she vanished into
thin air.
Wait. How?
I showed her her own reflection.
You were right.
- I took a photo of her...
- For fuck's sake.
Showed it to her,
and... and she disappeared.
She... she fucking killed Nes.
James, hang on,
buddy. Stay with me.
If you stopped her,
that means that
we can still win this, okay?
I mean, it's too late for Nes,
but it's not too
late for us, okay?
Remember what I said.
Each curse is different.
Each solution is different.
We each have our own demons,
and each of us
will have different ways
to deal with them.
Oh, my God, Cass.
Dan, how do we
stop Cass's demon?
Okay, hang on. Um...
So, uh, Cass got
the Wallcrawler.
That's based on the Japanese
legend of the jor gumo,
a type of y kai, a demon.
Great, Dan. How do I stop it?
Okay, wait.
To stop the jor gumo, you will
need to strike it with a sword.
Fuck.
[sighs] For God's
sake, Dan, come on.
There must be another way.
I-I'm sorry, James.
I can't seem to
see anything else.
Dan, please, tell me
there's another way.
I'm... I'm sorry, dude.
[light thump]
[odd chittering]
- [thumping on window]
- [snarling]
Dan
how do I stop my demon?
I haven't had time
to check yours yet, mate.
I'm gonna need
you to look it up.
It's here.
James?
James, talk to me.
[lights click]
[suspenseful music]
I'm going to have
to call you back, James.
Dan, don't you
fucking dare hang up.
Don't hang up! Fuck.
[music continues]
[snarling]
[odd chittering]
[hisses]
You're here, aren't you?
[stammers]
I made a circle. I'm protected.
I know how to... I
know how to beat you.
[ominous music]
[gasps]
[snarling]
[breathing rapidly]
[music continues]
[whimpering]
[whimpering]
[cell phone vibrates]
No fucking way.
No fucking way. No fucking way.
[demon chittering]
[demon growling softly]
[ominous music]
[cell phone vibrating]
James, get rid of the image.
I was wrong.
The NFT... you need
to get rid of it.
It's... it's the only
way to stop them.
What? But you said...
Forget what I said.
I think the curse
is linked to us.
It won't affect anyone but
the people who hold the image.
You need to pass your curse on.
You need to pass it
on to someone else.
How? How do I do that?
You have to send it
to someone else's wallet.
You have to do it.
It's the only way.
- Fucking how?
- James
[pounding]
- [growls]
James, just do it.
You have to send it
to someone else's wallet.
You have to do it.
It's the only way.
James, you have to
pass the curse on.
- Just do it now.
- [snarling]
James, talk to me.
[cell phone chimes]
James, what happened?
James?
James, talk to me.
[crying] I'm sorry.
[cell phone vibrates]
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I didn't know what to do.
I didn't know what else to do.
I'm sorry, Dan.
James, what have you done?
I
- I'm so sorry.
- What the fuck have you done?
[clatter, chittering]
[door creaks]
[eerie music]
[screaming]
[crying] I'm so sorry.
[muffled grunting over phone]
[cell phone ringing]
Oh, come on, come,
come, come, come.
Pick up, pick up, pick up,
pick up, pick up.
- James? Hey.
- Cass, Cass, are you all right?
Hey. Yeah, I'm just at Sarah's.
Uh, it's just really
bad reception.
Right, Cass, listen to me.
Just get rid of the
NFT. Get rid of it now.
What are you talking about?
I got rid of the NFT ages ago.
You what?
Yeah, I just gave it
to some random guy on Twitter.
You... you can do that?
Some random guy
on Gary Vee's Twitter feed,
I sent it to his
wallet address. Um...
All right, listen,
I'm... I'm coming to Sarah's.
- Cass, I'm com...
- James, I, um...
- Cass, just stay...
- I can't really hear you.
- You're kind of breaking up.
- Just stay...
- Look, I'm at Sarah's now.
- I'm just going up.
So, if you can hear this,
when you get here,
- buzz, and I'll let you in.
- Cass, just stay put.
- I'm coming over.
- Bye.
[elevator doors opening]
- [electronic voice]
- Going up. Door closing.
[ominous music]
[odd trilling]
[door opens]
[door closes]
Cass?
Oh, thank God.
Thank God.
Are you okay?
Cass?
[eerie music]
[door creaking softly]
[static whirring on TV]
Sarah?
Sarah?
[whirring volume decreases]
Sarah? [Keys clatter on table]
Oh, my God.
You scared the shit
out of me, Sarah!
I...
You were supposed to text me
when you got home!
God, I almost called
the police, you know.
And I couldn't get a
hold of Kit either.
[breathing heavily]
Sarah?
Something happened
to me last night.
[gasps]
[music continues]
What happened?
Sarah?
[demonic voice] I died.
[gasps, screaming]
Cass?
