People in the Walls (2024) Movie Script
1
It's just me.
Are you all right?
No.
What's wrong?
Do you see the video I sent you?
The duck one?
No. You know what I'm talking
about.
The one with the people.
Becka, I don't know what you
sent me,
but I don't have any other
videos
from you.
It's Sammy.
I'm back.
Today we're going to do
something
that my friend told me about,
and it completely works. All
right.
So right now
I have my doll set up right
here.
So that way
I'll give my guest
something to play with and my
closet.
And then we're going
to turn out the lights.
I set you up.
Okay.
Kind of scared
people who are in the walls.
Please come out.
People who are in the walls.
Please come out.
Well, sometimes it doesn't work.
See you later.
That was creepy.
So this scared you?
I did it.
It worked.
Bullshit.
I know what this is.
You're trying to set me up
so you can scare the crap out of
me.
Who else is here?
I'm not joking.
So you're saying this works?
You want to see?
If there's anything in these
walls?
Please let yourself be known.
Please let yourself be known.
If. If there's anything in these
walls,
please see yourself be known.
What happened?
You didn't see it?
No.
Baby, Let's go.
Well, I appreciate you letting
me know.
Thank you.
Great.
Movers had a flat,
so they run a little behind.
Okay.
This is good.
It's got that
pungent aroma. Old.
And you cannot complain
about my house pick
You're the one that wanted to
buy
that weird murder house.
I'm not complaining. I'm just
giving merrily sarcastic grunts.
Well,
you can grunt this into the
kitchen for me.
Hey, kiddo.
It's not going to be forever.
I know.
Tell you what
why don't you pick your room.
You're joking.
No, I'm serious.
It's not like
we're going to be here that
long, and
until we can stage and get it
sold.
You can pick any room you want,
even, like the living room.
Okay, That's terrible choice.
But, yeah, Even like the living
room.
Deal.
Don't pick something
that's going to upset your Dad
too much.
There are no rules earlier.
You can change things
all of a sudden. Okay.
All right.
Just make a choice before the
movers.
Get here.
No, there's a lot of things
that I will give up, but
absolutely not.
I will not give up my kitchen.
But, Mom said that
I can have any room in the house
I wanted.
Did she?
What would
make Mom think that this is a
good idea?
Sounded like a good idea at the
time.
Any excuse to irritate Dad.
So there was intent.
Success. Kudos.
But no on the kitchen.
But Mom told me that I can sleep
anywhere.
And Mom could tell you that
there's
a family of elves that live in
the attic.
You want another slice of pizza?
Rachel.
Grab that drill for me.
Have a seat for me.
Okay...
I know it's not always
easy being the new girl.
I just want you to know that
I understand what you're going
through.
You were the new girl.
Okay, smarty pants.
No. And yes,
the truth is, when I was your
age,
I got
a bullied a lot
kids can be cruel.
Wasn't because I was small and
weak
because I had big old muscles
and they were afraid of me
And this helps, How?
I promise.
This is the last time.
Okay?
Soon as this house sells,
we will get a permanent house
and there'll be no more
flipping.
You said that last time.
I know.
And I meant it.
Times are tough right now.
Not just for your mom and I,
but for everyone.
I just want you to know
that I'm here for you.
If you ever want to talk, I'm
here
to listen.
If you don't talk about
anything,
anything at all.
Daddy's here.
Okay.
Okay.
Get off to school.
Learn something today
Gonna I ask you later what you
learned.
You better have an answer.
Hey, who are you and what are
you doing
here?
I'm just walking the school.
This path doesn't go anywhere.
Why are you here?
I just moved here.
I don't know where this one
went.
I just took this path.
What's your name?
Rachel.
Yours?
Nancy.
Did you put all these up?
Yeah, I did.
Why?
Right back here before it gets
dark
again. Why?
Just do it.
Hey, it's me, um, this is Chris.
Hey, are you a new girl?
Ever seen her before?
No.
Then she's new.
So what is all of this?
Why are we out here?
Hold on.
There's a special time Wendigo
time.
What is all this?
It's a cryptic club.
Chris.
Do you even know what cryptive
is?
You?
No.
Have you ever heard of the
Wendigo?
No.
The Lochness Monster?
No.
She says lot.
There's this creature.
It's the Wendigo.
It's a curse of the Native
American tribes put on this
land.
It mimics people and takes them
away.
So it just looks like a person?
No, it's like a forest long
troll thing.
Made out of wood with horns.
Why did you hang up
all these missing posters?
We're trying to lure over and
catch it.
Catch it? How?
With traps.
I've been studying up on trap
buildings
for almost a whole year now.
I practice on my cat mostly.
You didn't hurt your cat, did
you?
No. I mean, she's missing a
tail,
but Grandma said she was getting
old
anyway, so I was likely to fall
up
sooner or later.
Have you ever seen anything?
No. I've caught tracks, though.
I've been told
they are just my neighbor's
dogs.
But I'm pretty sure it was the
Wendigo.
Were you waiting on others to
join this?
It's me, her and my boy Blue.
He's my little brother.
I'm just supposed to bring him
around.
So far, it's just me and you.
If you want to join.
Have you ever heard something
about
the people who
Live in the walls?
No.
That's why I'm here.
Let's talk somewhere safe
(Singing along)
Oh, sick.
I think there's a problem
inside.
Wow. You look pretty today.
You haven't heard a word
I just said did you?
You made food?
Two suppers? No.
What's wrong?
Follow me.
There's this hole.
Go ahead.
Stick your finger in it.
It's got this nasty goop.
Yeah, but no.
Take your word for it
There's definately something in
there.
Well, what do you think
how much it's going to cost to
fix
This? I have no idea.
Reminds me of this one house.
Oh, good Lord.
You could hear buzzing
throughout the entire walls.
Had no idea what was. Took it
out.
Bees everywhere honeycombs.
There's a swarm of them.
That took a couple days to clean
up.
And there was this one house had
worms.
Okay, that's gross.
That was discusting.
This...
I don't know.
Well... Who Should we call?
Google?
Sometimes I question why I
married you.
You're absolutely worthless.
Often.
All right, well, fix it.
Somehow.
You'll figure it out.
I've got faith in you.
Yes, ma'am.
We can be safe talking about it
with you.
Nobody believes me.
Everybody just thinks that we
were scaring
ourselves and the fun got out of
hand.
She broke her neck.
Wait, wait, wait.
Someone die?
Nobody died.
Did someone die?
No.
No one died, dummy.
I'm not a dummy.
I'm spending the night tonight.
What? Why?
Isn't it too late?
We're doing it?
Doing what?
We're bringing out the monsters.
It's okay.
I do traps.
Then what's he do?
Nothing.
I'm the muscle.
You're staying at home?
I'll hide in the bushes.
The bushes at home.
I'll hide at home.
Did you hear what I said?
My friend broke her neck. What
if,
They were just playing games
What if the Wendigo is really
just them?
What if it is?
I'm afraid of what it might do?
It's okay.
Last time you weren't prepared.
This time, you have me.
Let me tell you some
stuff about the Wendigo.
Usually I can find it pretty
quickly
there.
If you see it, it's like this.
Like a tree and horns are made
of wood.
And if you hear
it sounds like people, you know,
how does it shapeshift?
We don't have to do this.
Yeah, we do.
I don't need you to fully
believe me,
Nancy.
It's not really about you.
What is it?
Nothing.
So do you wanna start?
Yeah. I guess,
We just turn everything off and
Ask them to come out.
Ask who to come out?
The People
in the Walls.
Okay.
If there's anyone there,
listen to me.
Will the people who live in the
walls
come out.
I'm in position.
What do you mean, in position?
You should be at home.
I'm just a tiny bush.
No, go home now.
What's going on?
Well, I think Chris is dressed
as a bush somewhere outside.
Damn it.
Seriously, Rachel,
New girl.
That's Nancy.
I'm Nancy,
and I'm hungry.
You think I can make it to my
refrigerator
without getting
caught in any more of this?
So how many more of these
traps do I need to look out for?
Only, like, seven.
You do know
that it's a school night, right?
And you don't care.
Okay.
Be safe.
Don't get hurt.
And these boards with screws in
them?
No, young lady, that's
dangerous.
Those go outside.
If you need me, I will be in my
room.
We have an open door policy.
No locked doors.
I'm a nice dad, Call away.
Got it?
Got it.
Love you.
That's your dad?
Damn it.
Sorry.
Your dad pretty cool.
I guess
he only started to be this way
since the thing happened.
He used to be more strict, but,
you know.
Yeah,
I love my grandma.
I mean,
she's cool, and all its just.
My parents they decided to
go live in a van and just
go around. So
I get a letter from them and I
feel like
it's the 1900s or something.
But yeah,
my grandma,
she's busy all the time.
When things like being sick
in bed and stuff.
So I'm able to do what I want
lot.
So why do you hunt for the
Wendigo?
You gotta have something to
believe in.
I just think
if I can prove
something's real,
that explains why my parents
don't seem to care about me.
Do you have any brothers and
sisters?
No, your Dad.
Your mom, Do you have a dog?
One of them look like a dog to
you?
Do you have a dog?
No!
Where did they come from?
From what do you think?
ROAR!
Scott,
whoever's there, you can open
the door.
It's not locked.
How did just asking something
to come out of the darkness
work?
I don't know?
What happened?
We didn't do anything to
conjure anyone. It's not demons.
Why would I ask you something?
To come to the room? Work.
Vampires.
Trick question, They have to be
invited in.
But then that makes them
like the black eyed kids.
What are the black eyed kids?
Do you know anything?
You just have to invite them in
first.
But these are already in the
house.
Trick question.
I got this.
Are we sure they came from the
walls?
They're Inside the walls.
They don't live in the house,
Which means they should be
invited in.
Then. How do they come out of
the walls?
Got any holes in these walls?
How does the Wendigo mimic
someone and take them away?
The voice, the look,
everything just seems a bit off
and isn't right.
Scott
Rache...
honey?
Rache..
You should come in.
We have something fun to show
you.
All right? Rache...
What do you mean by we?
I have a new friend
Oh, I don't know we have
Company.
I'm not dressed.
No, Mom, Please. Sit down
What's going on?
You know, my new friend is
really shy.
You need a say.
Anyone who lives in the walls
come on out.
This will make her not be so
shy.
Well, all right.
Anyone who lives in the walls
come on out
Hello?
Close your eyes.
Okay, Rache, It's too late for
this baby,
Mom!
Close your eyes.
Okay.
My eyes are closed now what.
Here we come. Mom,
Just keep your eyes shut.
Almost there.
Don't peek.
It's going to be such a
surprise.
I can't wait to see the look on
your face.
Can you hear me?
Close to you right now,
We're almost to you.
Mom don't open your eyes!
Keep your eyes shut!
Rachel, come out right now.
Mom.
How do we
fight against the wind to go?
I don't remember her.
Can we go to your house?
Naw.
Grandma.
Follow me.
Why can't I come in?
I'm the muscle.
Stand guard muscle.
Why the pictures?
Well,
I thought if
Maybe, I drew its natural
habitat,
it would either bring back my
parents or
take me away.
What happened to your parents?
Grandma says there was something
that they were taking.
Like pills.
Or something.
I don't know.
It was
too much,
but they changed so fast.
All of a sudden they didn't care
about us
anymore.
Chris doesn't remember much
because he was too young, but
I do.
What do you think we saw?
I don't know.
It could be anything.
Do you think it's everything?
What do you mean?
I mean, how close is it to
things
people have seen, right?
What if it's the things people
are seeing?
But it's just describing part of
it?
It's nothing like the Mothman
and definitely not like the
Jersey Devils.
So.
Okay, I don't know that.
But what if been around
and it's just something else?
Well,
let's get looking.
Okay.
So we should start in the upper
world.
Where's the bathroom
Shadow
Shadow
Yeah, monster
Rachel
Mom?
Shadow
Monster
Rachel
Mom?
Rachel
Monster
Hello.
Close your eyes.
Close your eyes.
Mom is that you?
Yes.
I'm only playing a game.
Are you scared?
Yes.
No, don't be.
Come here,
Mom. You would never leave me,
would you?
Of course not,
Rachel.
Now, now,
there's my baby girl.
Why did you pull away?
What are you.
What do you want?
I'm here for you, baby girl.
You asked me to come.
Why are you yelling?
Not today.
Not today. Not to do today.
Not today.
Not today.
What just happened?
It was here pretending to be my
mom.
What?
Its the Shimmy Shadow.
Can't just make up names.
Yeah, I just went into the
closet.
I've seen it before.
In my dreams.
It's name was the shimmy shadow.
Okay, stop.
You can't just make up names
for a new monster.
How else is it supposed to get
its name?
Why'd it runaway?
Because I'm a beast.
This.
Really?
I'm sorry.
Sorry about what?
Why we became friends.
What do you mean?
We're going to be best friends
now.
We're going to be best friends
now.
I don't think I'm understanding.
Why are you sorry?
Studies have proven that people
who
undergo
traumatic experiences together
tend to
forge a strong bond for another.
And our friendship only started
because some
monster was hunting you and your
family to
so sorry.
Yeah. Me too.
Do you have traps here.
That's the bed sheet closet.
What do we do?
Jump
Chris!
Chris!
Put away the light, Chris.
Put away the light, Chris.
Put away the light.
Chris.
Why?
The Shimmy Shadow!
Put away the light.
Chris
Put away the light.
Chris
I don't want to.
Chris!
Nancy, what do we do?
I...
Grandma,
Grandma,
come at me.
I'm the muscle!
Over here.
No, don't listen to it.
I'm your real sister.
Well, I'm not my moving!
Duck,
Nancy,
don't.
It's a trap.
Don't.
Don't
Nancy.
No.
Nancy!
No, no.
There's no monsters.
That's what people always told
me.
No monsters.
Those were monsters!
And they took the last person
that ever cared about me,
they took my little brother
and if you wouldn't have told us
anything.
He would still be here right
now.
But, no, you had to do this.
What do I do now without him?
We'll find a way?
No, I will find a way.
I will fix your mess!
This is not my mess!
He could be dead.
And it's all your fault.
It's not fair, Nancy.
I don't even know you.
You can be one yourself.
I wish they took you instead.
Its name was the shimmy
shadow...
Do you think they'll find mom?
We have to hope
So yes,
I think they'll find your Mom.
You two didn't have a fight.
Of course we didn't have a
fight.
Did she say that she was
leaving?
Rachel?
Why would she say that she's
leaving?
Cause she didn't.
Did you say that you were
leaving?
Look, Dad, I'm just trying to
help.
Yeah, well,
I'm just trying to keep it
together.
I'm trying to figure out all of
this.
Look, I have been nothing but
good.
Been good to your mother.
I've been good to you.
I've been patient with you.
I've given you your space after
you got your best friend's neck
broken.
And then your mother and I,
we sink every dime that we have
in the entire world into this
money pit,
we find out the walls are mold
infested.
And then up
in the middle of the night,
poof,
your mother just disappears
and she's gone.
You know something?
And if you really want to help,
you will tell me where is
Your mom,
You...
Could be the people
who what people
The ones in the walls
people in the walls.
What am I supposed to do with
that?
That's how Becka broke her neck.
It was them, it came out
and they chased us.
Stop.
No, Dad, Listen to me.
They attacked Nancy, and I.
Rachel, I need you to stop.
We set traps, remember?
It was for them.
God damn it.
Stop it now.
Dad, They're after someone
they could have grabbed Mom!
Young lady,
I am warning you right now.
This is reality.
There are no people in the walls
that doesn't fucking exist.
So you be honest with me right
now.
If you know where your mother
is,
you will tell me.
Tell me.
You turn off the lights
and tell them to come out.
And they do, Dad.
They have to be asked.
We are done talking at this
table.
They took Chris.
They took him into the walls
and they might have taken
Mom to.
Do you want this to be true,
You want there to be people in
the walls?
You want there to be another
world.
Okay, then let's this world.
So how does this work,
They need to be invited.
Fine.
Let's invite them.
Please.
Is there anyone out there?
I ask you, is anyone out there?
If so, I invite you.
My daughter, she wants her
mother back.
And me?
I want my wife.
Dad!
What do I need to put a whole
goddamn wall
improved you?
There's nothing there.
Please,
baby, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you.
Please forgive me.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you.
Please forgive me.
I'm so sorry,
Scott.
Anyone who lives in the walls
Where is it?
Where is it?
Where's it?
If there's anyone in the walls
know this,
I'm coming for my brother.
And if you want out,
there's anyone in the walls.
Come on out.
You handle that
Chris!
Where are you?
Nancy!
Nancy...
You don't think I'm
as big of a threat as my dad
was.
Is that why you're not attacking
me?
How about now,
Chris!
Chris, I'm here.
I'm here, Chris.
No, no
Hey,
I'm the muscle
Chris!
We forgot about, Grandma.
She's at home in bed.
I Miss you, Grandma
We didn't do anything.
The shimmy shadow is still out
there.
It's just me.
Are you all right?
No.
What's wrong?
Do you see the video I sent you?
The duck one?
No. You know what I'm talking
about.
The one with the people.
Becka, I don't know what you
sent me,
but I don't have any other
videos
from you.
It's Sammy.
I'm back.
Today we're going to do
something
that my friend told me about,
and it completely works. All
right.
So right now
I have my doll set up right
here.
So that way
I'll give my guest
something to play with and my
closet.
And then we're going
to turn out the lights.
I set you up.
Okay.
Kind of scared
people who are in the walls.
Please come out.
People who are in the walls.
Please come out.
Well, sometimes it doesn't work.
See you later.
That was creepy.
So this scared you?
I did it.
It worked.
Bullshit.
I know what this is.
You're trying to set me up
so you can scare the crap out of
me.
Who else is here?
I'm not joking.
So you're saying this works?
You want to see?
If there's anything in these
walls?
Please let yourself be known.
Please let yourself be known.
If. If there's anything in these
walls,
please see yourself be known.
What happened?
You didn't see it?
No.
Baby, Let's go.
Well, I appreciate you letting
me know.
Thank you.
Great.
Movers had a flat,

Any excuse to irritate Dad.

Have a seat for me.
Okay...
I know it's not always

This path doesn't go anywhere.
Why are you here?
I just moved here.
I don't know where this one
went.
I just took this path.
What's your name?
Rachel.
Yours?
Nancy.
Did you put all these up?
Yeah, I did.
Why?
Right back here before it gets
dark
again. Why?
Just do it.
Hey, it's me, um, this is Chris.
Hey, are you a new girl?
Ever seen her before?
No.
Then she's new.
So what is all of this?
Why are we out here?
Hold on.
There's a special time Wendigo

American tribes put on this
land.
It mimics people and takes them
away.
So it just looks like a person?
No, it's like a forest long
troll thing.
Made out of wood with horns.
Why did you hang up
all these missing posters?
We're trying to lure over and
catch it.
Catch it? How?
With traps.
I've been studying up on trap
buildings
for almost a whole year now.
I practice on my cat mostly.
You didn't hurt your cat, did
you?
No. I mean, she's missing a
tail,
but Grandma said she was getting
old
anyway, so I was likely to fall
up
sooner or later.
Have you ever seen anything?
No. I've caught tracks, though.
I've been told
they are just my neighbor's
dogs.
But I'm pretty sure it was the
Wendigo.
Were you waiting on others to
join this?
It's me, her and my boy Blue.
He's my little brother.
I'm just supposed to bring him
around.
So far, it's just me and you.
If you want to join.
Have you ever heard something
about
the people who
Live in the walls?
No.
That's why I'm here.
Let's talk somewhere safe
(Singing along)
Oh, sick.
I think there's a problem
inside.
Wow. You look pretty today.
You haven't heard a word
I just said did you?
You made food?
Two suppers? No.
What's wrong?
Follow me.
There's this hole.
Go ahead.
Stick your finger in it.
It's got this nasty goop.
Yeah, but no.
Take your word for it
There's definately something in
there.
Well, what do you think
how much it's going to cost to
fix
This? I have no idea.
Reminds me of this one house.
Oh, good Lord.
You could hear buzzing
throughout the entire walls.
Had no idea what was. Took it
out.
Bees everywhere honeycombs.
There's a swarm of them.
That took a couple days to clean
up.
And there was this one house had
worms.
Okay, that's gross.
That was discusting.
This...
I don't know.
Well... Who Should we call?
Google?
Sometimes I question why I
married you.
You're absolutely worthless.
Often.
All right, well, fix it.
Somehow.
You'll figure it out.
I've got faith in you.
Yes, ma'am.
We can be safe talking about it
with you.
Nobody believes me.
Everybody just thinks that we
were scaring
ourselves and the fun got out of
hand.
She broke her neck.
Wait, wait, wait.
Someone die?
Nobody died.
Did someone die?
No.
No one died, dummy.
I'm not a dummy.
I'm spending the night tonight.
What? Why?
Isn't it too late?
We're doing it?
Doing what?
We're bringing out the monsters.
It's okay.
I do traps.
Then what's he do?
Nothing.
I'm the muscle.
You're staying at home?
I'll hide in the bushes.
The bushes at home.
I'll hide at home.
Did you hear what I said?
My friend broke her neck. What
if,
They were just playing games
What if the Wendigo is really
just them?
What if it is?
I'm afraid of what it might do?
It's okay.
Last time you weren't prepared.
This time, you have me.
Let me tell you some
stuff about the Wendigo.
Usually I can find it pretty
quickly
there.
If you see it, it's like this.
Like a tree and horns are made
of wood.
And if you hear
it sounds like people, you know,
how does it shapeshift?
We don't have to do this.
Yeah, we do.
I don't need you to fully
believe me,
Nancy.
It's not really about you.
What is it?
Nothing.
So do you wanna start?
Yeah. I guess,
We just turn everything off and
Ask them to come out.
Ask who to come out?
The People
in the Walls.
Okay.
If there's anyone there,
listen to me.
Will the people who live in the
walls
come out.
I'm in position.
What do you mean, in position?
You should be at home.
I'm just a tiny bush.
No, go home now.
What's going on?
Well, I think Chris is dressed
as a bush somewhere outside.
Damn it.
Seriously, Rachel,
New girl.
That's Nancy.
I'm Nancy,
and I'm hungry.
You think I can make it to my
refrigerator
without getting
caught in any more of this?
So how many more of these
traps do I need to look out for?
Only, like, seven.
You do know
that it's a school night, right?
And you don't care.
Okay.
Be safe.
Don't get hurt.
And these boards with screws in
them?
No, young lady, that's
dangerous.
Those go outside.
If you need me, I will be in my
room.
We have an open door policy.
No locked doors.
I'm a nice dad, Call away.
Got it?
Got it.
Love you.
That's your dad?
Damn it.
Sorry.
Your dad pretty cool.
I guess
he only started to be this way
since the thing happened.
He used to be more strict, but,
you know.
Yeah,
I love my grandma.
I mean,
she's cool, and all its just.
My parents they decided to
go live in a van and just
go around. So
I get a letter from them and I
feel like
it's the 1900s or something.
But yeah,
my grandma,
she's busy all the time.
When things like being sick
in bed and stuff.
So I'm able to do what I want
lot.
So why do you hunt for the
Wendigo?
You gotta have something to
believe in.
I just think
if I can prove
something's real,
that explains why my parents
don't seem to care about me.
Do you have any brothers and
sisters?
No, your Dad.
Your mom, Do you have a dog?
One of them look like a dog to
you?
Do you have a dog?
No!
Where did they come from?
From what do you think?
ROAR!
Scott,
whoever's there, you can open
the door.
It's not locked.
How did just asking something
to come out of the darkness
work?
I don't know?
What happened?
We didn't do anything to
conjure anyone. It's not demons.
Why would I ask you something?
To come to the room? Work.
Vampires.
Trick question, They have to be
invited in.
But then that makes them
like the black eyed kids.
What are the black eyed kids?
Do you know anything?
You just have to invite them in
first.
But these are already in the
house.
Trick question.
I got this.
Are we sure they came from the
walls?
They're Inside the walls.
They don't live in the house,
Which means they should be
invited in.
Then. How do they come out of
the walls?
Got any holes in these walls?
How does the Wendigo mimic
someone and take them away?
The voice, the look,
everything just seems a bit off
and isn't right.
Scott
Rache...
honey?
Rache..
You should come in.
We have something fun to show
you.
All right? Rache...
What do you mean by we?
I have a new friend
Oh, I don't know we have
Company.
I'm not dressed.
No, Mom, Please. Sit down
What's going on?
You know, my new friend is
really shy.
You need a say.
Anyone who lives in the walls
come on out.
This will make her not be so
shy.
Well, all right.
Anyone who lives in the walls
come on out
Hello?
Close your eyes.
Okay, Rache, It's too late for
this baby,
Mom!
Close your eyes.
Okay.
My eyes are closed now what.
Here we come. Mom,
Just keep your eyes shut.
Almost there.
Don't peek.
It's going to be such a
surprise.
I can't wait to see the look on
your face.
Can you hear me?
Close to you right now,
We're almost to you.
Mom don't open your eyes!
Keep your eyes shut!
Rachel, come out right now.
Mom.
How do we
fight against the wind to go?
I don't remember her.
Can we go to your house?
Naw.
Grandma.
Follow me.
Why can't I come in?
I'm the muscle.
Stand guard muscle.
Why the pictures?
Well,
I thought if
Maybe, I drew its natural
habitat,
it would either bring back my
parents or
take me away.
What happened to your parents?
Grandma says there was something
that they were taking.
Like pills.
Or something.
I don't know.
It was
too much,
but they changed so fast.
All of a sudden they didn't care
about us
anymore.
Chris doesn't remember much
because he was too young, but
I do.
What do you think we saw?
I don't know.
It could be anything.
Do you think it's everything?
What do you mean?
I mean, how close is it to
things
people have seen, right?
What if it's the things people
are seeing?
But it's just describing part of
it?
It's nothing like the Mothman
and definitely not like the
Jersey Devils.
So.
Okay, I don't know that.
But what if been around
and it's just something else?
Well,
let's get looking.
Okay.
So we should start in the upper
world.
Where's the bathroom
Shadow
Shadow
Yeah, monster
Rachel
Mom?
Shadow
Monster
Rachel
Mom?
Rachel
Monster
Hello.
Close your eyes.
Close your eyes.
Mom is that you?
Yes.
I'm only playing a game.
Are you scared?
Yes.
No, don't be.
Come here,
Mom. You would never leave me,
would you?
Of course not,
Rachel.
Now, now,
there's my baby girl.
Why did you pull away?
What are you.
What do you want?
I'm here for you, baby girl.
You asked me to come.
Why are you yelling?
Not today.
Not today. Not to do today.
Not today.
Not today.
What just happened?
It was here pretending to be my
mom.
What?
Its the Shimmy Shadow.
Can't just make up names.
Yeah, I just went into the
closet.
I've seen it before.
In my dreams.
It's name was the shimmy shadow.
Okay, stop.
You can't just make up names
for a new monster.
How else is it supposed to get
its name?
Why'd it runaway?
Because I'm a beast.
This.
Really?
I'm sorry.
Sorry about what?
Why we became friends.
What do you mean?
We're going to be best friends
now.
We're going to be best friends
now.
I don't think I'm understanding.
Why are you sorry?
Studies have proven that people
who
undergo
traumatic experiences together
tend to
forge a strong bond for another.
And our friendship only started
because some
monster was hunting you and your
family to
so sorry.
Yeah. Me too.
Do you have traps here.
That's the bed sheet closet.
What do we do?
Jump
Chris!
Chris!
Put away the light, Chris.
Put away the light, Chris.
Put away the light.
Chris.
Why?
The Shimmy Shadow!
Put away the light.
Chris
Put away the light.
Chris
I don't want to.
Chris!
Nancy, what do we do?
I...
Grandma,
Grandma,
come at me.
I'm the muscle!
Over here.
No, don't listen to it.
I'm your real sister.
Well, I'm not my moving!
Duck,
Nancy,
don't.
It's a trap.
Don't.
Don't
Nancy.
No.
Nancy!
No, no.
There's no monsters.
That's what people always told
me.
No monsters.
Those were monsters!
And they took the last person
that ever cared about me,
they took my little brother
and if you wouldn't have told us
anything.
He would still be here right
now.
But, no, you had to do this.
What do I do now without him?
We'll find a way?
No, I will find a way.
I will fix your mess!
This is not my mess!
He could be dead.
And it's all your fault.
It's not fair, Nancy.
I don't even know you.
You can be one yourself.
I wish they took you instead.
Its name was the shimmy
shadow...
Do you think they'll find mom?
We have to hope
So yes,
I think they'll find your Mom.
You two didn't have a fight.
Of course we didn't have a
fight.
Did she say that she was
leaving?
Rachel?
Why would she say that she's
leaving?
Cause she didn't.
Did you say that you were
leaving?
Look, Dad, I'm just trying to
help.
Yeah, well,
I'm just trying to keep it
together.
I'm trying to figure out all of
this.
Look, I have been nothing but
good.
Been good to your mother.
I've been good to you.
I've been patient with you.
I've given you your space after
you got your best friend's neck
broken.
And then your mother and I,
we sink every dime that we have
in the entire world into this
money pit,
we find out the walls are mold
infested.
And then up
in the middle of the night,
poof,
your mother just disappears
and she's gone.
You know something?
And if you really want to help,
you will tell me where is
Your mom,
You...
Could be the people
who what people
The ones in the walls
people in the walls.
What am I supposed to do with
that?
That's how Becka broke her neck.
It was them, it came out
and they chased us.
Stop.
No, Dad, Listen to me.
They attacked Nancy, and I.
Rachel, I need you to stop.
We set traps, remember?
It was for them.
God damn it.
Stop it now.
Dad, They're after someone
they could have grabbed Mom!
Young lady,
I am warning you right now.
This is reality.
There are no people in the walls
that doesn't fucking exist.
So you be honest with me right
now.
If you know where your mother
is,
you will tell me.
Tell me.
You turn off the lights
and tell them to come out.
And they do, Dad.
They have to be asked.
We are done talking at this
table.
They took Chris.
They took him into the walls
and they might have taken
Mom to.
Do you want this to be true,
You want there to be people in
the walls?
You want there to be another
world.
Okay, then let's this world.
So how does this work,
They need to be invited.
Fine.
Let's invite them.
Please.
Is there anyone out there?
I ask you, is anyone out there?
If so, I invite you.
My daughter, she wants her
mother back.
And me?
I want my wife.
Dad!
What do I need to put a whole
goddamn wall
improved you?
There's nothing there.
Please,
baby, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you.
Please forgive me.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you.
Please forgive me.
I'm so sorry,
Scott.
Anyone who lives in the walls
Where is it?
Where is it?
Where's it?
If there's anyone in the walls
know this,
I'm coming for my brother.
And if you want out,
there's anyone in the walls.
Come on out.
You handle that
Chris!
Where are you?
Nancy!
Nancy...
You don't think I'm
as big of a threat as my dad
was.
Is that why you're not attacking
me?
How about now,
Chris!
Chris, I'm here.
I'm here, Chris.
No, no
Hey,
I'm the muscle
Chris!
We forgot about, Grandma.
She's at home in bed.
I Miss you, Grandma
We didn't do anything.
The shimmy shadow is still out
there.
