Hey, what are you doing
on your phone?
-Sorry.
-[man] Sorry?
-I thought you
came here to work.
-I am working.
It's not working when
you're on your phone here, kid.
What's going on with you?
I just didn't sleep well.
Bad dream.
Bad dreams about what?
[woman] I'm fine.
Yeah, you been taking your meds?
-I said I'm fine.
-[man] Do me a favor...
Put that thing down.
Get on the horse. Let's go ride.
This is ridiculous.
[woman exhales]
[man] All right.
Squeeze. Stay back up.
Sit back.
Sit back.
All right, good.
Now you do it.
Go ahead. You do it.
Guys, do me a favor,
get out of here.
I've got to talk to her.
Let me see you run some barrels.
Let's ju--
just do something.
Let's work.
I mean, come on.
Go back here.
I want you to make, hey...
first barrel, second barrel.
Something done.
Kick. Kick.
Look.
Oh, you know what you did there.
Pick up, pick up on the right.
Over there, you-- you gotta--
you gotta get more
bend in your horse,
-and then more release.
-[phone vibrates]
You're kinda going around,
you're holding your reins.
You're kinda
just stiffening your body.
Relax.
Get a little bit more loose.
Drive your horse off of it.
Really use your legs
a little bit more.
Stop solely depending
on your hands,
use your legs
just a little bit more.
Aight? Go on.
Use your hands.
Use your hands.
Kick. Drive.
Lift up. Lift up.
Lift up.
Kick.
Left. Left. Left. Left.
Good...
Get out of there.
Go! Kick.
I mean, that wasn't bad
that time.
I thought you could've
got a little bit more
in your corner there.
Could've got a little bit
-wider right there.
-[phone vibrates]
That wasn't that bad, bad.
[phone continues vibrating]
Ju-- just answer your phone,
come on!
Hello?
What?
Okay. All right, yeah,
I'll be right there.
What's going on?
What-- Wh--
Something with my grandma,
she's not all right.
Well,
if your grandma's not right, go.
-Just-- just get out of here.
-I gotta go.
Just go.
[ominous music]
[horse snorts]
[line ringing]
Pick up the phone, Miles.
-[sighs]
-[line ringing]
Come on, pick up the phone.
[man] Let's do
a full body circuit today.
We're gonna do 10 to 15.
You wanna probably lean
a little bit more,
onto the right side.
-[woman] Like that?
-[man] Yeah.
[woman] Okay.
[music continues]
[man] Does that feel all right?
-[woman] Oh, yeah. [chuckles]
-[man] Alright. [chuckles]
-[woman] I do feel it.
-[man] Okay, cool.
Yeah, come on.
I'm not playing around today.
Nice, squeeze at the top.
-[man] All right, 15 more.
-15 more?
-[man] Come on. Put in the work.
-[indistinct]
[Lucy] Miles!
What, is your phone on mute?
Well, yeah, I'm in the middle
of a session right now.
-We gotta go!
-Go where?
It's Gran, she's not doing well.
[Miles] What do you mean
she's not doing well?
Just trust me, Miles.
We gotta go.
Hey, I'm really sorry,
something's going on.
-I--
-Yeah, don't worry, just go.
All right, um,
I'll call you, and then
-we'll pick this up next week.
-Yeah, don't worry.
-It's-- yeah. A hundred percent.
-Okay, thanks.
[ominous music]
[Miles] What did they say?
-Who?
-[Miles] The nursing home.
She's not doing good.
Like, she's on her way out.
This fucking traffic
holding us up now.
Fuck.
Hey, you want me to drive?
-[Lucy] I'm good.
-You sure?
I'm fine,
we just got to get there.
[music intensifies]
[door closes]
[music continues]
[distant thud]
[music continues]
She's gone.
What do you mean she's gone?
But they told us to come.
[doctor] I know. She went
comfortably and
without any pain.
I'm sorry for your loss.
If there's anything I can do,
please let me know.
I'm so sorry.
Please take
all the time you need.
You guys do need to
fill out some paperwork,
but, there's no rush.
Too late.
[Miles sighs]
[Miles] I'm gonna go take
care of that paperwork.
Just come down when
you're ready.
[music continues]
[sighs]
-[loud gasp]
-[loud eerie music]
[in deep voice]
Don't. Don't...
go... there...
-Don't go where?
-[Gran] Don't...
go... there.
-Nurse!
-Don't go...
-there!
-Help!
Are you, okay? What happened?
She's alive! She's alive.
-She's alive. No.
-No. Sh--
-She went--
-No, she was just up and she
-grabbed my arm. She's up.
-Hey, hey, hey. You're o--
-you're okay. I know
-You have to
-it's hard. Co--
-believe me! She's alive!
-[nurse] Come with me, okay?
-[Lucy] Miles!

This is the address
for Gene's lawyer.
It's not that far.
Probably best to
handle that now.
Thanks.
[music continues]
[muffled voice]
[man] ...how sorry I am, for the
loss of your grandmother, Gene.
She was a dear friend of mine.
She just wanted to make sure
that her affairs were in order,
but, I've got to tell you,
she kinda left everything
in disarray.
Your grandmother had a
beautiful piece of property.
She couldn't afford
to really maintain,
especially with the animals
that she had out there.
I think you'll understand
when you see it,
what I'm talking about.
The road's been washed out,
there's really no access
to it right now,
I do have some friends
with some airboats
that can get you out there...
Unless you know some people
that can help you, but,
I'm not gonna tell you two
what to do with your lives,
but I'll be real honest
with you,
if I was you two,
I'd be looking to get rid of
this piece of property.
So...
[sighs]
...who's this guy named Chet?
That's our cousin.
I have, envelopes for
each of you here.
[man groans softly]
Got one for Chet.
However, there are
some stipulations in there.
If Chet doesn't claim his share
within 30 days,
this is in her will, that...
it goes to the two of you.
I wish you two the best,
and wish you luck, but...
...that's it.
[Miles] Look, you get some rest.
I'll handle picking up
the ashes,
and I'll give Rusty a call.
I'm sure he can
take us out on his airboat.
What the hell are we gonna do
about Chet, though?
Chet? I wouldn't even
worry about Chet.
He's not gonna
show up, anyways.
Let's go. It's hot in here.
[rock music]
I love your duck.
Oh, thank you. It's my baby.
-[woman chuckles]
-Your husband's not gonna come
visit us in here?
Yeah, I told you, he won't
be home until next week.
[man]] You guys live on a
fucking bus?
[woman] Well, this is actually
just my she-shed.
He never really
bothers me in here.
-Really?
-Mm-mm
Does the cover match the bed?
[chuckles]
Do you wanna find out?
[rock music intensifies]
[woman chuckles]

-Cheryl!
-[door closes]
Cheryl, get out of here
right now!
[man] Who the fuck
do you think you are?
Oh, shit!
You have to get out.
[man]
What the fuck you doing in here?
-What? Why?
-Earl's here,
he's fucking crazy.
-What?
-He's gonna kill you!
[man] Come on, baby girl.
-He's gonna kill me.
-Let's get out of here.
[rock music]
[duck quacks]
Motherfucker!
Hey boy, you like coming here
so much, I'll make you a
permanent fucking fixture.
[rock music fades]
[eerie music]
[music continues]
Rusty.
[indistinct]
Miles.
[Miles] My man.
[Rusty] Howdy, buddy.
-[Rusty] Working out?
-Pumping iron every day.
My goodness.
Oh, little Lucy.
Hi, It's good to see you.
Gosh, all grown up.
[Miles] Well, thanks for
taking us out here, for real.
Not a problem.
I'm sorry about Gram.
It's all right.
-Appreciate it.
-[Rusty] Yeah.
Y'all ready to
go see some smoke?
-Yeah.
-[Rusty] Let's do that.
[rhythmic drumming with maracas]
[rhythmic drumming
with maracas continues]
[rhythmic drumming
with maracas continues]
[music ends]
[groan]
Was a hell of a ride, Rusty.
I figured y'all would
enjoy that.
[groans] We really appreciate
you bringing us out here,
we wouldn't know
how else we'd get here.
-Thanks.
-[Rusty] My pleasure, buddy.
Hey, y'all remember, uh...
Thomas and his boy, William?
Yeah, I do.
Yeah, they're kinda like
the caretakers
out here.
So if you run into them,
they're a little weird, but...
they're harmless.
All right.
Oh, by the way,
there's no reception out here.
How many days y'all plan
on staying?
-Like three.
-[Rusty] Well...
I reckon I'll see y'all
back in about three days, and...
y'all just be safe, all right?
Okay, thank you.
-[engine starts]
-[Rusty] Y'all have fun,
don't do
nothin' I wouldn't do.
I'm excited to see the horses.
I'm excited to see if
the house is up and running fine
after the storm.
I think it should be just fine.
[eerie music]
[Miles] Do you remember the last
time we were out here?
[Lucy] Yeah, but I don't like
thinking about it.
[music intensifies lightly]
[Miles] I got a weird feeling
being back here.
What do you mean?
I don't know.
Wish I could...
explain.
[music continues]
There it is.
[music continues]
[music continues]
This place is a lot creepier
than I remember it being.
Yeah.
Whoa.
Wonder how long these roses
have been here.
[blows air] A while.
That's creepy.
[indistinct] dolls in the room.
[music continues]
[music fades]
[heartbeats and ominous music]
[music intensifies abruptly]
-[glass shatters]
-You okay?
I just need to get out of here
for a second.
[Miles] What's the matter?
[ominous music]
-[music ends abruptly]
-[heavy breathing]
[solemn strings instrumental]
[music continues]
[metallic jingling]
[whispers] Good.

Come on, let's go.

Hey.
William.
Hey, Lucy.
Good to see you.
[William] Been a while, huh?
Yeah, it has.
-You okay?
-Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
I just, I-- I got lost
in the woods.
Yeah, these woods
can get tricky.
You wanna follow me
to the stables?
Yeah, let's go.
He's a spirited one, isn't he?
Uh, yeah, I hope it's okay
that I took him for a ride.
It's your horse, Lucy.
And, I just wanted to say
my condolences to your family.
Thank you.
Your grandmother...
she was a good woman.
Yeah, she was,
and crazy.
So you moved back?
Uh no, we're just gonna
stay here
for a little while.
Well, welcome.
Thank you.
Um, does anyone else live here?
My father.
Oh... nobody else?
Just us and the horses.
I thought I saw someone
in the woods, earlier.
Uh... a woman.
These woods can play tricks
on the mind.
[angry shouting]
[grunting]
Sorry.
Hey!
[men grunting]
Hey!
[man] Phew.
There's my favorite cousin.
[Lucy] What are you doing here?
Came to check out
my inheritance.
[Lucy] Sounds like
the same old shit, huh?
Nice to see you, too.
How'd you even get here?
Borrowed a friend's boat.
Borrowed?
I might have stolen it.
Yeah, that sounds more like you.
Still the same ray of sunshine,
huh?
[scoffs] Shut the fuck up.
Alright guys, calm down.
While we're all here,
why don't we just go
and bury Gram,
next to Grandpa, alright?
Okay.
Come on.
[solemn strings instrumental]
Should we say something?
To our dead grandma.
We'll miss you, Gram.
What are you doing?
She's thirsty.
Have a shot for us
up in heaven, Granny.
I'm good.
We'll miss you, Gram.
Chet, I don't drink.
Suit yourself.
[music continues]
Damn.
This place is like
a fucking museum.
I know a guy, we can pawn
a lot of this shit.
Why does it always have to be
about the money?
I mean, that's why we're here,
isn't it?
To get rid of this shithole?
Granny's been sitting on it,
just burning the cash.
Yeah, but we're not selling.
What do you mean, we?
We all get a say in this,
do we not?
I mean... me and Miles
are on the same page
with that, so...
Can you guys just stop fighting?
We just got here.
I know, but the place
has been in our family for over
a hundred years, and...
A hundred years
is too fucking long,
it's time to get rid
of this place.
All I'm saying, you've got
all those yuppies coming down,
from Cali.
We could sell this place
almost immediately.
Yeah, well, we're not
selling it.
[Miles] Can you guys just stop
fucking arguing?
I'm hungry, you guys hungry?
I mean, yeah, I doubt
they have anything, but...
let's check it out.
[Miles sighs]
I don't want him here.
I don't want him here either,
but...
We don't have a choice now,
do we?
I know, but I just wish
you would just, like,
stand up to him a little bit.
Like...
What do you mean?
I'm not scared of him.
-I don't trust him.
-Okay...
But look, I'm gonna make sure
nothing happens to you
or the house, alright?
-[indistinct thuds]
-Okay.
[inaudible]
[sighs]
Alright, I got good news
and bad news.
[Miles] Bad news?
Bad news is all we have
is beans, ramen, and chips.
What's the good news?
Good news is that is all I need,
to whip up one of
my favorite dishes.
[metallic thuds]
Miles, you wanna be a doll
and go scrounge up some booze?
I'll look around.
Appreciate you.
How long were you in for?
In what?
Jail.
[chuckles]
I haven't been to jail...
...recently.
That's how you know
how to make slop ramen.
Fuck you know about slop ramen?
[thuds]
There we go.
[Miles] These are your options.
Is that wine?
I don't know, try it.
[Chet sniffing]
Oof...
That's some serious hooch.
Oh my God!
It's good shit.
-[bottle thuds]
-[sighs]
[eerie music]
[music fades]
So?
Pretty good, right?
It's pretty good.
Lucy?
Mmm, no.
You'll not even gonna try it?
Mm-mm.
[scoffs]
Look at us, just like old times,
-one big happy family.
-[Miles] Yep...
cheers to that,
to Gram.
To Gram.
[Lucy] To Gram.
She would have loved seeing us
all together like this.
Even though she loved
those horses a lot more than us.
[scoffs]
I think we should keep
this place, guys.
We're not doing this.
Why would you wanna
stay in this house?
I just don't think that's what
Gram would want.
Did you forget what happened
in the kitchen?
Your mom killed
your fucking dad!
Chet! What the fuck? Shut up!
Just chill out.
[sighs]
What the fuck, dude?
I'm the only one
making sense here.
She's clearly not well.
Like, you didn't
have to say that.
This house drove
your mom crazy,
it drove my mom crazy...
it ruined our
entire fucking family,
and you know that.
-[sighs]
-Plus, do you know
how much it costs
-to keep a fucking horse?
-Let's get rid of the horses,
we can keep the house, big deal.
So you're gonna live here?
'Cause no chance in hell I'm
-living in this place.
-You don't have to.
-[clattery jingles]
-[sighs]
[lid twists, then falls]
[scoffs]
It's gonna fuck you up.
It's the point.
[Miles scoffs] Alright.
[intense drums sound]
Night, night.
[suspenseful music]
-[sudden loud sting]
-[shouts]
[music fades]
[Miles] Is everything
alright in there?
Yeah, I'm good.
[suspense solemn strings]
[music fades]
Home, sweet home.
You did make us beans
for dinner,
don't get mad if I rip one.
[Chet] This place is a shithole.
-I'm giving it
a one-star review.
-[scoffs]
Can you believe we used to
sleep in these beds?
I've slept in worse.
[Miles] I bet you have.
[soft groan]
[Chet] You do realize we have to
sell this place though, right?
Think of the money.
Yeah, you're not wrong, but...
[sighs] ...Lucy's super
connected to this place.
Is she though?
Yeah, you wouldn't know.
[Chet] Lucy has always been
a fucking nutbag,
even since we
were kids.
Always staring at the
fucking walls and shit.
[eerie music]
[music intensifies]
[music fading]
[lamp clicks]
[sudden loud sting]
Gran?
What are you doing here?
[Gran in deep voice]
You can't be here.
You've got to leave this place.
Gran, you're hurting me.
[indistinct]
[indistinct]
[indistinct]
[single loud gunshot]
-Did you hear that?
-Yeah, sounds like gunshots.
-Where's Chet?
-Passed out, drunk.
[single loud gunshot]
[ominous music]
[William]
It's okay, Pop, it's okay.
-It's all right.
-[man] It's not okay,
there's something out there.
[Miles] What the hell is
going on out here?
[William] I'm so sorry.
I saw it, I saw it
in the woods.
It's okay, Pop,
let's get you to bed.
[Miles]
Your dad doing all right?
He's fine... it's been happening
a lot lately.
What's been happening?
It's complicated.
You guys live in there?
[William] We used to live in
the guest house...
but lately he refuses
to sleep indoors.
He prefers to live like
the old ways.
I don't know about
you guys but, I'm exhausted,
I think I'm going to
go and head inside.
You want to come?
I'm good, just go.
-I'll be in soon.
-You sure?
-Yeah.
-All right.
-See you, man.
-Goodnight.
[music continues]
Are you okay?
I don't know.
You said you saw
someone in the woods...
A woman.
Yeah.
I've been seeing things
my whole life.
I'm told I'm schizophrenic.
[William] Maybe in your world...
but in our world...
it's not an illness,
it's a gift.
Hell of a gift.
[William]
You walk in two worlds,
the one that we see...
...and the one that
most people do not.
So you're telling me
I'm not crazy.
[William]
Your doctors are not healers.
They're more like...
...plumbers.
They look for leaks
and try to plug them...
...but running water
will always find a path.
So I keep seeing this woman...
Who is she?
I'm sorry, but I can't
answer that.
You must go deeper.
Deeper?
[William] We don't get to choose
what we become,
it's up to you to decide
to listen.
Listen to what?
When the time comes,
you'll know.
Do you know
what a skinwalker is?
It's a being that can
change its form
and become anyone
or anything.
All cultures and tribes
have a different word for it.
And you believe that?
[music intensifying]
It's getting late.
You should go inside.
I'm sorry we woke you.

Chet.

[door opens]
[grunts]
Look, I'm gonna be honest
with you,
I think we should
sell the place.
Is this Chet
saying all this to you?
-He's crazy, alright?
-It seems like Chet gets here
and now you're just like
completely different.
No, I just don't want to
be here anymore.
Can you not stick it out
for one more night?
And then
you never have to come back.
All right, well,
change of plans.
Why do you wanna
keep it so badly?
It's not that I want to keep it
so badly,
I just feel like there's
something here
that's trying to
tell me something,
and I'm really just trying to
figure it out.
It's something
you wouldn't understand.
And Chet especially,
wouldn't understand either.
Let's not talk
about selling right now.
We can figure it out
when we get fucking back.
[ominous music]
[Miles sighs]
I'm gonna go take Chet's boat
and go get some
supplies at the store.
[music continues]
[music continues]
[door bells jingle]
[music fades]
[glass thuds]
[man] You need help
with anything?
Uh, I think I'm good for now,
thanks.
If you need, let me know.
Thank you.
[plastic bag rattles softly]
Did you find everything
all right?
[Miles] Uh, yeah, I did.
Oh my God, Miles.
-Hey.
-[woman] How are you?
Good, how you doing?
Is everything okay
with your family?
Um... Unfortunately,
my grandmother passed.
Holy shit, are you okay?
Yeah, it's all right, thanks.
-But, uh, what are you doing?
-We're going to a party,
down in Crystal River.
So yeah, just picking up
some stuff.
-And you?
-Just getting some stuff
at the store myself,
but, um, got this new house
that I inherited on an island,
out in the swamps.
On a island?
Yeah, it's my grandmother's, so,
me and my sister got it now.
That sounds so cool.
Really?
I mean, you're welcome to come.
-Can we?
-[Miles] Yeah, for sure,
if you'd like.
I've got my boat right there.
-Yeah, I would love to.
-Yo!
What's all this jibber jabber
about?
Can't we just go?
Change of plans, we're going
to a island now.
That sounds sketchy as hell!
You'll be safe, don't worry.
-Aw, come on. Yeah
-Are you sure?
Hold on real quick, I'm just
gonna grab some drinks,
and then, we can go.
[man] Let's go then.
[indistinct chatter]
[chuckling]
[indistinct] This...
Fuck it.
[grunts]
Ah! We're going big tonight.
[suspenseful music]
[crows cawing]
[man whispers] Lucy.
[music continues]
[music fades]
[man]
I'm not really sure, like...
lots of animals
out here in the woods,
-[man 2] Yeah.
-[man indistinct]
[man 3] Hold on, there could be
bears out here?
[man 2] We got a big group,
though. I feel like
we could take a bear.
[woman]
Oh my God, Mike, shut up.
Alright,
we're almost there, guys.
[man] Y'all hold up,
I gotta take a piss.
[Miles] Alright.
Always holding us back.
[man] We're not in a hurry.
So you used to live around here,
when you were little?
Yeah, I lived here when
I was younger, but
I don't remember too much, so...
-it's kind of like a blur.
-Mmm.
It wasn't, like, scary at night?
Nah, not scary at all.
I mean, what's there to be
scared about?
I don't know, I feel like
I could never live here.
Too many spiders.
Like, weird sounds.
Uh, I don't know,
you get used to it.
[man] Appreciate it.
[woman] Let's go?
-I'm ready.
-Okay, hurry up.
-There's gotta be a better way.
-That's what I was gonna say,
dude.
There's gotta be a better way.
Might be wrong.
[indistinct chatter]
-[sudden loud sting]
-[shouts]
[Miles]
Yo, chill out, it's just Chet.
I'm okay, but, every single time
it's some bullshit.
What do we have here, Miles?
Just a couple friends.
Guys, this is
my idiot cousin Chet.
[Chet] Oh, wow.
Hi, I'm Marisol.
-Chet.
-Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Chet.
-Becky.
-Becky.
-Chet.
-Hanna.
Nice to meet y'all.
Looks like you're throwing a
little party, Miles.
[Miles] Ah.
A little get-together.
Lucy's gonna lose her shit.
She'll be fine.
-[Chet] Let's drink.
-[man] I'ma drink all that shit
-by myself.
-[Miles] Come on, guys.
-[man 2] Let's get outta here.
-[Chet] Gotta learn.
You scared the kid, man.
Man, that's some bullshit.
Y'all make me spill all my...
[indistinct]
You've got those, Miles?
But I'm gonna go party, though.
-He's crazy.
-'Cause party ain't gonna stop.
Just keep going.
Okay.
[inaudible]
[horse snorts]
[horse snorts]
[indistinct chatter]
[overlapping dialogue]
Yeah, no, she does.
She definitely does, yeah.
[man] I don't know what was
going on before that.
What the fuck is this, Miles?
What? We just-- we met at the
liquor store.
Okay, well, you should have kept
them there.
What's your problem?
This is not the time to be
throwing a party
right now, Miles.
-You missed me, cus?
-No, I didn't miss you!
Is this you
that's doing all this?
I wasn't even there.
I'm Marisol, we met at the gym.
-Remember?
-Okay, I don't really give
a fuck who you are, chick.
I need you guys to get the hell
out of my house.
You mean our house.
Right, bitch?
[chuckles]
Are you kidding me, Miles?
-What?
-She always gets like this.
Hey, cheers.
Fuck all of you guys, okay?
-[man] What a time.
-[man 2 indistinct]
What's wrong with her?
[ominous music]
[indistinct chatter]
I wish that beat was in it,
'cause I just killed that beat.
See, I told you this would be
better than
going to that stupid
Crystal River party
You sound too confident
about it.
[indistinct chatter]
You okay?
I don't feel too well.
Did you drink too much?
No, no, it's not the drink.
So I just went out and drank
three more,
and that fixed all
the problem.
I'm sorry, I have to go.
[indistinct chatter continues]
[fire crackling]
[soft ominous music]
[animal howling at a distance]
Well, what do you
like to do for fun?
I like to dance,
to drink a little bit...
sometimes to train.
-You like to ride?
-I'd like to show you all
something.
Show us what?
Something very special.
What is it?
[music continues softly]
Follow me.
[man] Man, I really hope there's
no boogeyman out here.
[man 2]
I don't know about all that.
Oh, come on, Miles.
Come on.
[howling at a distance
continues]
-[music ends]
-[piano plays]
Cigarette smoke blowin'
Through the party
I'm in a dress
L.A., four shots of Bacardi
I'm embarrassed
But I'm pickin' up the phone
Shoulda left
[piano fades]
[ominous music]
-[indistinct chatter]
-[chuckling]
[man] Yeah, I feel that.
I don't know, but,
I'm not a fan of this.
[man 2] I don't know about
this either, man.
[Marisol] Guys, relax.
[man] This ain't me.
[man 2] Chet, where the hell
are you takin' us?
[Chet] Oh... You'll see.
[man] Watch out, watch out.
-Watch out for that.
-[man 2] Hey, watch your step.
[man] Ow!
I told you I wasn't a fan
of the dark.
I'm definitely not a fan of the
woods and the dark.
[chuckles]
Miles?
[man] Nah, this ain't-- I swear,
every ten feet we go,
-it gets tighter in here,
harder to see.
-[man 2] Why do you guys
-like doing shit like this?
-[man] What? I don't like
to do shit like this. What are
you talking about?
[man 2] You're always
dragging me on this.
[man] This ain't me, I don't
know what you're t--
Marisol, let me hold
your lantern for you.
Yeah, please.
Here, I've got you.
What the hell is this?
You goin' in there?
-[man] Mike.
-[Mike] What the fuck, bro?
I don't even know
what all this stuff is.
[man] Fuck all that... I'm gone.
I'm-- I'm good with
all that shit, bro.
[Mike] Derek, look at his eyes,
that ain't normal.
This dude is fucking weird, bro.
Oh wait, let me
take a picture of that.
Stay.
Wait, let me put the flash on,
because I cannot see anything.
One... two...

Okay?
[intense drums playing]

Lock the door!
What do we do?
Closet!
Closet. Get in the closet.
[indistinct]
What are we doing here, William?
I gotta go look for Miles.
Trust me, you have to
talk to my father,
he's the only one that can help.
[music continues]
Sit.
I have to find Miles.
What-- what am I doing here?
It has been released,
now we are all in danger.
-What?
-[liquid pouring]
You must drink.
What is it?
It's a tea made from the
Yaupon Holly,
it's used to treat nightmares.
How do you know
I have nightmares?
[man] You have a gift,
you're a medium,
you walk in two worlds.
You must drink it,
to know the truth.
[music continues]
[sniffs]
Ugh.
I'm not drinking that.
Trust me, you must drink it.
[slurps]
[grunts disgusted]
[grunts]

[Chet] Ladies!
Where'd you go?
Come out, come out,
wherever you are!
[music turns eerie]
[Hanna screaming loudly]
[cracking, splashing]
[inner voice] What's happening?
[inner voice]
Don't be afraid...
you're alright.
Don't fight it.
You must see without your eyes,
listen without your ears,
trust your heart.
[Lucy] I see her...
[panting]
She's in trouble.
She's being chased by a man.
[man]
That's not a man,
it's a skinwalker.
Just like you,
my family was torn apart
by the evil shapeshifter.
[panting]
It's tied to these lands.
It will not stop killing until
there's nobody left.
[music continues]
I thought we had defeated it
many years ago...
...but it seems to have escaped
its grave.
[echoing exhale]
-[growling]
-What?
[man] Her name was Ama.
She hasn't been haunting you...
...she's been trying
to warn you.
[music continues]
[Ama panting]
[screaming]
[Ama] No, no!
[Ama screaming]
[Ama panting]
[Ama's screams continue]
[Lucy] What do we do?
[man] You must leave this place,
and never return.
[echoing]
Never return.
[Lucy] I can't.
I have to find my brother.
[echoing]
I have to find my brother.

-Come on.
-[grunts loudly]
Come on, come on, Chet.
Chet, we gotta get you
out of here.
-Come on.
-[grunts]
Come on.
Chet! Chet. Okay.
Just stay here,
I'm gonna go get help.
I'ma go get help, okay?

-[Lucy groans]
[groans]
It's a shapeshifter.
It's not dead,
it's gonna keep killing.
What do you mean it's not dead?
[man] Bullets will only
slow it down.
You need to find
its guts and burn 'em.
Wh--
I-- I saw its guts in the woods.
It's the only way.
We'll take care of this here.
You must go... quickly.
[music continues]
In order for it to shapeshift,
the skinwalker spits up
its own organs...
This is the only time
it's vulnerable.
If we're not quick enough,
the skinwalker
will find a new host.
Find the organs, and burn them.
Then find your friends,
and get off the island.
[echoing]
Get off the island.

Hey, what are you doing

-Sorry.
-[man] Sorry?
-I thought you
came here to work.
-I am working.
It's not working when
you're on your phone here, kid.
What's going on with you?
I just didn't sleep well.
Bad dream.
Bad dreams about what?
[woman] I'm fine.
Yeah, you been taking your meds?
-I said I'm fine.
-[man] Do me a favor...
Put that thing down.
Get on the horse. Let's go ride.
This is ridiculous.
[woman exhales]
[man] All right.
Squeeze. Stay back up.
Sit back.
Sit back.
All right, good.
Now you do it.
Go ahead. You do it.
Guys, do me a favor,
get out of here.
I've got to talk to her.
Let me see you run some barrels.
Let's ju--
just do something.
Let's work.
I mean, come on.
Go back here.
I want you to make, hey...
first barrel, second barrel.
Something done.
Kick. Kick.
Look.
Oh, you know what you did there.
Pick up, pick up on the right.
Over there, you-- you gotta--
you gotta get more
bend in your horse,
-and then more release.
-[phone vibrates]
You're kinda going around,
you're holding your reins.
You're kinda
just stiffening your body.
Relax.
Get a little bit more loose.
Drive your horse off of it.
Really use your legs
a little bit more.
Stop solely depending
on your hands,
use your legs
just a little bit more.
Aight? Go on.
Use your hands.
Use your hands.
Kick. Drive.
Lift up. Lift up.
Lift up.
Kick.
Left. Left. Left. Left.
Good...
Get out of there.
Go! Kick.
I mean, that wasn't bad
that time.
I thought you could've
got a little bit more
in your corner there.
Could've got a little bit
-wider right there.
-[phone vibrates]
That wasn't that bad, bad.
[phone continues vibrating]
Ju-- just answer your phone,
come on!
Hello?
What?
Okay. All right, yeah,
I'll be right there.
What's going on?
What-- Wh--
Something with my grandma,
she's not all right.
Well,
if your grandma's not right, go.
-Just-- just get out of here.
-I gotta go.
Just go.
[ominous music]

Pick up the phone, Miles.
-[sighs]
-[line ringing]
Come on, pick up the phone.
[man] Let's do
a full body circuit today.
We're gonna do 10 to 15.
You wanna probably lean
a little bit more,
onto the right side.
-[woman] Like that?
-[man] Yeah.
[woman] Okay.
[music continues]
[man] Does that feel all right?
-[woman] Oh, yeah. [chuckles]
-[man] Alright. [chuckles]
-[woman] I do feel it.
-[man] Okay, cool.
Yeah, come on.
I'm not playing around today.
Nice, squeeze at the top.
-[man] All right, 15 more.
-15 more?
-[man] Come on. Put in the work.
-[indistinct]
[Lucy] Miles!
What, is your phone on mute?
Well, yeah, I'm in the middle
of a session right now.
-We gotta go!
-Go where?
It's Gran, she's not doing well.
[Miles] What do you mean
she's not doing well?
Just trust me, Miles.
We gotta go.
Hey, I'm really sorry,
something's going on.
-I--
-Yeah, don't worry, just go.
All right, um,
I'll call you, and then
-we'll pick this up next week.
-Yeah, don't worry.
-It's-- yeah. A hundred percent.
-Okay, thanks.
[ominous music]
[Miles] What did they say?
-Who?
-[Miles] The nursing home.
She's not doing good.
Like, she's on her way out.
This fucking traffic
holding us up now.
Fuck.
Hey, you want me to drive?
-[Lucy] I'm good.
-You sure?
I'm fine,
we just got to get there.
[music intensifies]
[door closes]
[music continues]
[distant thud]
[music continues]
She's gone.
What do you mean she's gone?
But they told us to come.
[doctor] I know. She went
comfortably and
without any pain.
I'm sorry for your loss.
If there's anything I can do,
please let me know.
I'm so sorry.
Please take
all the time you need.
You guys do need to
fill out some paperwork,
but, there's no rush.
Too late.
[Miles sighs]
[Miles] I'm gonna go take
care of that paperwork.
Just come down when
you're ready.
[music continues]
[sighs]
-[loud gasp]
-[loud eerie music]
[in deep voice]
Don't. Don't...
go... there...
-Don't go where?
-[Gran] Don't...
go... there.
-Nurse!
-Don't go...
-there!
-Help!
Are you, okay? What happened?
She's alive! She's alive.
-She's alive. No.
-No. Sh--
-She went--
-No, she was just up and she
-grabbed my arm. She's up.
-Hey, hey, hey. You're o--
-you're okay. I know
-You have to
-it's hard. Co--

This is the address
for Gene's lawyer.
It's not that far.
Probably best to
handle that now.
Thanks.
[music continues]
[muffled voice]
[man] ...how sorry I am, for the
loss of your grandmother, Gene.
She was a dear friend of mine.
She just wanted to make sure
that her affairs were in order,
but, I've got to tell you,
she kinda left everything
in disarray.
Your grandmother had a
beautiful piece of property.
She couldn't afford
to really maintain,
especially with the animals
that she had out there.
I think you'll understand
when you see it,
what I'm talking about.
The road's been washed out,
there's really no access
to it right now,
I do have some friends
with some airboats
that can get you out there...
Unless you know some people
that can help you, but,
I'm not gonna tell you two
what to do with your lives,
but I'll be real honest
with you,
if I was you two,
I'd be looking to get rid of
this piece of property.
So...
[sighs]
...who's this guy named Chet?
That's our cousin.
I have, envelopes for
each of you here.
[man groans softly]
Got one for Chet.
However, there are
some stipulations in there.
If Chet doesn't claim his share
within 30 days,
this is in her will, that...
it goes to the two of you.
I wish you two the best,
and wish you luck, but...
...that's it.
[Miles] Look, you get some rest.
I'll handle picking up
the ashes,
and I'll give Rusty a call.
I'm sure he can
take us out on his airboat.
What the hell are we gonna do
about Chet, though?
Chet? I wouldn't even
worry about Chet.
He's not gonna
show up, anyways.
Let's go. It's hot in here.
[rock music]
I love your duck.
Oh, thank you. It's my baby.
-[woman chuckles]
-Your husband's not gonna come
visit us in here?
Yeah, I told you, he won't
be home until next week.
[man]] You guys live on a
fucking bus?
[woman] Well, this is actually
just my she-shed.
He never really
bothers me in here.
-Really?
-Mm-mm
Does the cover match the bed?
[chuckles]
Do you wanna find out?

You have to get out.
[man]
What the fuck you doing in here?
-What? Why?
-Earl's here,
he's fucking crazy.
-What?
-He's gonna kill you!
[man] Come on, baby girl.
-He's gonna kill me.

My goodness.
Oh, little Lucy.
Hi, It's good to see you.
Gosh, all grown up.
[Miles] Well, thanks for
taking us out here, for real.
Not a problem.
I'm sorry about Gram.
It's all right.
-Appreciate it.
-[Rusty] Yeah.
Y'all ready to
go see some smoke?
-Yeah.

I figured y'all would

[groans] We really appreciate
you bringing us out here,
we wouldn't know
how else we'd get here.
-Thanks.
-[Rusty] My pleasure, buddy.
Hey, y'all remember, uh...
Thomas and his boy, William?
Yeah, I do.
Yeah, they're kinda like
the caretakers
out here.
So if you run into them,
they're a little weird, but...
they're harmless.
All right.
Oh, by the way,
there's no reception out here.
How many days y'all plan
on staying?
-Like three.
-[Rusty] Well...
I reckon I'll see y'all
back in about three days, and...
y'all just be safe, all right?
Okay, thank you.
-[engine starts]
-[Rusty] Y'all have fun,
don't do
nothin' I wouldn't do.
I'm excited to see the horses.
I'm excited to see if
the house is up and running fine
after the storm.
I think it should be just fine.
[eerie music]
[Miles] Do you remember the last
time we were out here?
[Lucy] Yeah, but I don't like
thinking about it.
[music intensifies lightly]
[Miles] I got a weird feeling
being back here.
What do you mean?
I don't know.
Wish I could...
explain.
[music continues]
There it is.
[music continues]
[music continues]
This place is a lot creepier
than I remember it being.

[William] Been a while, huh?
Yeah, it has.
-You okay?
-Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
I just, I-- I got lost
in the woods.
Yeah, these woods
can get tricky.
You wanna follow me
to the stables?
Yeah, let's go.
He's a spirited one, isn't he?
Uh, yeah, I hope it's okay
that I took him for a ride.
It's your horse, Lucy.
And, I just wanted to say
my condolences to your family.
Thank you.
Your grandmother...
she was a good woman.
Yeah, she was,
and crazy.
So you moved back?
Uh no, we're just gonna
stay here
for a little while.
Well, welcome.
Thank you.
Um, does anyone else live here?
My father.
Oh... nobody else?
Just us and the horses.
I thought I saw someone
in the woods, earlier.
Uh... a woman.
These woods can play tricks
on the mind.
[angry shouting]
[grunting]
Sorry.
Hey!
[men grunting]
Hey!
[man] Phew.
There's my favorite cousin.
[Lucy] What are you doing here?
Came to check out
my inheritance.
[Lucy] Sounds like
the same old shit, huh?
Nice to see you, too.
How'd you even get here?
Borrowed a friend's boat.
Borrowed?
I might have stolen it.
Yeah, that sounds more like you.
Still the same ray of sunshine,
huh?
[scoffs] Shut the fuck up.
Alright guys, calm down.
While we're all here,
why don't we just go
and bury Gram,
next to Grandpa, alright?
Okay.
Come on.
[solemn strings instrumental]
Should we say something?
To our dead grandma.
We'll miss you, Gram.
What are you doing?
She's thirsty.
Have a shot for us
up in heaven, Granny.
I'm good.
We'll miss you, Gram.
Chet, I don't drink.
Suit yourself.
[music continues]
Damn.
This place is like
a fucking museum.
I know a guy, we can pawn
a lot of this shit.
Why does it always have to be
about the money?
I mean, that's why we're here,
isn't it?
To get rid of this shithole?
Granny's been sitting on it,
just burning the cash.
Yeah, but we're not selling.
What do you mean, we?
We all get a say in this,
do we not?
I mean... me and Miles
are on the same page
with that, so...
Can you guys just stop fighting?
We just got here.
I know, but the place
has been in our family for over
a hundred years, and...
A hundred years
is too fucking long,
it's time to get rid
of this place.
All I'm saying, you've got
all those yuppies coming down,
from Cali.
We could sell this place
almost immediately.
Yeah, well, we're not
selling it.
[Miles] Can you guys just stop
fucking arguing?
I'm hungry, you guys hungry?
I mean, yeah, I doubt
they have anything, but...
let's check it out.
[Miles sighs]
I don't want him here.
I don't want him here either,
but...
We don't have a choice now,
do we?
I know, but I just wish
you would just, like,
stand up to him a little bit.
Like...
What do you mean?
I'm not scared of him.
-I don't trust him.
-Okay...
But look, I'm gonna make sure
nothing happens to you
or the house, alright?
-[indistinct thuds]
-Okay.
[inaudible]
[sighs]
Alright, I got good news
and bad news.
[Miles] Bad news?
Bad news is all we have
is beans, ramen, and chips.
What's the good news?
Good news is that is all I need,
to whip up one of
my favorite dishes.
[metallic thuds]
Miles, you wanna be a doll
and go scrounge up some booze?
I'll look around.
Appreciate you.
How long were you in for?
In what?
Jail.
[chuckles]
I haven't been to jail...
...recently.
That's how you know
how to make slop ramen.
Fuck you know about slop ramen?
[thuds]
There we go.
[Miles] These are your options.
Is that wine?
I don't know, try it.
[Chet sniffing]
Oof...
That's some serious hooch.
Oh my God!
It's good shit.
-[bottle thuds]
-[sighs]
[eerie music]
[music fades]
So?
Pretty good, right?
It's pretty good.
Lucy?
Mmm, no.
You'll not even gonna try it?
Mm-mm.
[scoffs]
Look at us, just like old times,
-one big happy family.
-[Miles] Yep...
cheers to that,
to Gram.
To Gram.
[Lucy] To Gram.
She would have loved seeing us
all together like this.
Even though she loved
those horses a lot more than us.
[scoffs]
I think we should keep
this place, guys.
We're not doing this.
Why would you wanna
stay in this house?
I just don't think that's what
Gram would want.
Did you forget what happened
in the kitchen?
Your mom killed
your fucking dad!
Chet! What the fuck? Shut up!
Just chill out.
[sighs]
What the fuck, dude?
I'm the only one
making sense here.
She's clearly not well.
Like, you didn't
have to say that.
This house drove
your mom crazy,
it drove my mom crazy...
it ruined our
entire fucking family,
and you know that.
-[sighs]
-Plus, do you know
how much it costs
-to keep a fucking horse?
-Let's get rid of the horses,
we can keep the house, big deal.
So you're gonna live here?
'Cause no chance in hell I'm
-living in this place.
-You don't have to.
-[clattery jingles]
-[sighs]
[lid twists, then falls]
[scoffs]
It's gonna fuck you up.
It's the point.
[Miles scoffs] Alright.
[intense drums sound]
Night, night.
[suspenseful music]
-[sudden loud sting]
-[shouts]
[music fades]
[Miles] Is everything
alright in there?
Yeah, I'm good.
[suspense solemn strings]
[music fades]
Home, sweet home.
You did make us beans
for dinner,
don't get mad if I rip one.
[Chet] This place is a shithole.
-I'm giving it
a one-star review.
-[scoffs]
Can you believe we used to
sleep in these beds?
I've slept in worse.
[Miles] I bet you have.
[soft groan]
[Chet] You do realize we have to
sell this place though, right?
Think of the money.
Yeah, you're not wrong, but...
[sighs] ...Lucy's super
connected to this place.
Is she though?
Yeah, you wouldn't know.
[Chet] Lucy has always been
a fucking nutbag,
even since we
were kids.
Always staring at the
fucking walls and shit.
[eerie music]
[music intensifies]
[music fading]
[lamp clicks]
[sudden loud sting]
Gran?
What are you doing here?
[Gran in deep voice]
You can't be here.
You've got to leave this place.
Gran, you're hurting me.
[indistinct]
[indistinct]
[indistinct]
[single loud gunshot]
-Did you hear that?
-Yeah, sounds like gunshots.
-Where's Chet?
-Passed out, drunk.
[single loud gunshot]
[ominous music]
[William]
It's okay, Pop, it's okay.
-It's all right.
-[man] It's not okay,
there's something out there.
[Miles] What the hell is
going on out here?
[William] I'm so sorry.
I saw it, I saw it
in the woods.
It's okay, Pop,
let's get you to bed.
[Miles]
Your dad doing all right?
He's fine... it's been happening
a lot lately.
What's been happening?
It's complicated.
You guys live in there?
[William] We used to live in
the guest house...
but lately he refuses
to sleep indoors.
He prefers to live like
the old ways.
I don't know about
you guys but, I'm exhausted,
I think I'm going to
go and head inside.
You want to come?
I'm good, just go.
-I'll be in soon.
-You sure?
-Yeah.
-All right.
-See you, man.
-Goodnight.
[music continues]
Are you okay?
I don't know.
You said you saw
someone in the woods...
A woman.
Yeah.
I've been seeing things
my whole life.
I'm told I'm schizophrenic.
[William] Maybe in your world...
but in our world...
it's not an illness,
it's a gift.
Hell of a gift.
[William]
You walk in two worlds,
the one that we see...
...and the one that
most people do not.
So you're telling me
I'm not crazy.
[William]
Your doctors are not healers.
They're more like...
...plumbers.
They look for leaks
and try to plug them...
...but running water
will always find a path.
So I keep seeing this woman...
Who is she?
I'm sorry, but I can't
answer that.
You must go deeper.
Deeper?
[William] We don't get to choose
what we become,
it's up to you to decide
to listen.
Listen to what?
When the time comes,
you'll know.
Do you know
what a skinwalker is?
It's a being that can
change its form
and become anyone
or anything.
All cultures and tribes
have a different word for it.
And you believe that?
[music intensifying]
It's getting late.
You should go inside.
I'm sorry we woke you.

Look, I'm gonna be honest
with you,
I think we should
sell the place.
Is this Chet
saying all this to you?
-He's crazy, alright?
-It seems like Chet gets here
and now you're just like
completely different.
No, I just don't want to
be here anymore.
Can you not stick it out
for one more night?
And then
you never have to come back.
All right, well,
change of plans.
Why do you wanna
keep it so badly?
It's not that I want to keep it
so badly,
I just feel like there's
something here
that's trying to
tell me something,
and I'm really just trying to
figure it out.
It's something
you wouldn't understand.
And Chet especially,
wouldn't understand either.
Let's not talk
about selling right now.
We can figure it out
when we get fucking back.
[ominous music]
[Miles sighs]
I'm gonna go take Chet's boat
and go get some
supplies at the store.
[music continues]
[music continues]
[door bells jingle]
[music fades]
[glass thuds]
[man] You need help
with anything?
Uh, I think I'm good for now,
thanks.
If you need, let me know.
Thank you.
[plastic bag rattles softly]
Did you find everything
all right?
[Miles] Uh, yeah, I did.
Oh my God, Miles.
-Hey.
-[woman] How are you?
Good, how you doing?
Is everything okay
with your family?
Um... Unfortunately,
my grandmother passed.
Holy shit, are you okay?
Yeah, it's all right, thanks.
-But, uh, what are you doing?
-We're going to a party,
down in Crystal River.
So yeah, just picking up
some stuff.
-And you?
-Just getting some stuff
at the store myself,
but, um, got this new house
that I inherited on an island,
out in the swamps.
On a island?
Yeah, it's my grandmother's, so,
me and my sister got it now.
That sounds so cool.
Really?
I mean, you're welcome to come.
-Can we?
-[Miles] Yeah, for sure,
if you'd like.
I've got my boat right there.
-Yeah, I would love to.
-Yo!
What's all this jibber jabber
about?
Can't we just go?
Change of plans, we're going
to a island now.
That sounds sketchy as hell!
You'll be safe, don't worry.
-Aw, come on. Yeah
-Are you sure?
Hold on real quick, I'm just
gonna grab some drinks,
and then, we can go.
[man] Let's go then.
[indistinct chatter]
[chuckling]
[indistinct] This...
Fuck it.
[grunts]
Ah! We're going big tonight.
[suspenseful music]
[crows cawing]
[man whispers] Lucy.
[music continues]
[music fades]
[man]
I'm not really sure, like...
lots of animals
out here in the woods,
-[man 2] Yeah.
-[man indistinct]
[man 3] Hold on, there could be
bears out here?
[man 2] We got a big group,
though. I feel like
we could take a bear.
[woman]
Oh my God, Mike, shut up.
Alright,
we're almost there, guys.
[man] Y'all hold up,
I gotta take a piss.
[Miles] Alright.
Always holding us back.
[man] We're not in a hurry.
So you used to live around here,
when you were little?
Yeah, I lived here when
I was younger, but
I don't remember too much, so...
-it's kind of like a blur.
-Mmm.
It wasn't, like, scary at night?
Nah, not scary at all.
I mean, what's there to be
scared about?
I don't know, I feel like
I could never live here.
Too many spiders.
Like, weird sounds.
Uh, I don't know,
you get used to it.
[man] Appreciate it.
[woman] Let's go?
-I'm ready.
-Okay, hurry up.
-There's gotta be a better way.
-That's what I was gonna say,
dude.
There's gotta be a better way.
Might be wrong.
[indistinct chatter]
-[sudden loud sting]
-[shouts]
[Miles]
Yo, chill out, it's just Chet.
I'm okay, but, every single time
it's some bullshit.
What do we have here, Miles?
Just a couple friends.
Guys, this is
my idiot cousin Chet.
[Chet] Oh, wow.
Hi, I'm Marisol.
-Chet.
-Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Chet.
-Becky.
-Becky.
-Chet.
-Hanna.
Nice to meet y'all.
Looks like you're throwing a
little party, Miles.
[Miles] Ah.
A little get-together.
Lucy's gonna lose her shit.
She'll be fine.
-[Chet] Let's drink.
-[man] I'ma drink all that shit
-by myself.
-[Miles] Come on, guys.
-[man 2] Let's get outta here.
-[Chet] Gotta learn.
You scared the kid, man.
Man, that's some bullshit.
Y'all make me spill all my...
[indistinct]
You've got those, Miles?
But I'm gonna go party, though.
-He's crazy.
-'Cause party ain't gonna stop.
Just keep going.
Okay.
[inaudible]
[horse snorts]
[horse snorts]
[indistinct chatter]
[overlapping dialogue]
Yeah, no, she does.
She definitely does, yeah.
[man] I don't know what was
going on before that.
What the fuck is this, Miles?
What? We just-- we met at the
liquor store.
Okay, well, you should have kept
them there.
What's your problem?
This is not the time to be
throwing a party
right now, Miles.
-You missed me, cus?
-No, I didn't miss you!
Is this you
that's doing all this?
I wasn't even there.
I'm Marisol, we met at the gym.
-Remember?
-Okay, I don't really give
a fuck who you are, chick.
I need you guys to get the hell
out of my house.
You mean our house.
Right, bitch?
[chuckles]
Are you kidding me, Miles?
-What?
-She always gets like this.
Hey, cheers.
Fuck all of you guys, okay?
-[man] What a time.
-[man 2 indistinct]
What's wrong with her?
[ominous music]
[indistinct chatter]
I wish that beat was in it,
'cause I just killed that beat.
See, I told you this would be
better than
going to that stupid
Crystal River party
You sound too confident
about it.
[indistinct chatter]
You okay?
I don't feel too well.
Did you drink too much?
No, no, it's not the drink.
So I just went out and drank
three more,
and that fixed all
the problem.
I'm sorry, I have to go.
[indistinct chatter continues]
[fire crackling]
[soft ominous music]
[animal howling at a distance]
Well, what do you
like to do for fun?
I like to dance,
to drink a little bit...
sometimes to train.
-You like to ride?
-I'd like to show you all
something.
Show us what?
Something very special.
What is it?
[music continues softly]
Follow me.
[man] Man, I really hope there's
no boogeyman out here.
[man 2]
I don't know about all that.
Oh, come on, Miles.
Come on.

But I'm pickin' up the phone
Shoulda left
[piano fades]
[ominous music]
-[indistinct chatter]
-[chuckling]
[man] Yeah, I feel that.
I don't know, but,
I'm not a fan of this.
[man 2] I don't know about
this either, man.
[Marisol] Guys, relax.
[man] This ain't me.
[man 2] Chet, where the hell
are you takin' us?
[Chet] Oh... You'll see.
[man] Watch out, watch out.
-Watch out for that.
-[man 2] Hey, watch your step.
[man] Ow!
I told you I wasn't a fan
of the dark.
I'm definitely not a fan of the
woods and the dark.
[chuckles]
Miles?
[man] Nah, this ain't-- I swear,
every ten feet we go,
-it gets tighter in here,
harder to see.
-[man 2] Why do you guys
-like doing shit like this?
-[man] What? I don't like
to do shit like this. What are
you talking about?
[man 2] You're always
dragging me on this.
[man] This ain't me, I don't
know what you're t--
Marisol, let me hold
your lantern for you.
Yeah, please.
Here, I've got you.
What the hell is this?
You goin' in there?
-[man] Mike.
-[Mike] What the fuck, bro?
I don't even know
what all this stuff is.
[man] Fuck all that... I'm gone.
I'm-- I'm good with
all that shit, bro.
[Mike] Derek, look at his eyes,
that ain't normal.
This dude is fucking weird, bro.
Oh wait, let me
take a picture of that.
Stay.
Wait, let me put the flash on,
because I cannot see anything.
One... two...

What are we doing here, William?
I gotta go look for Miles.
Trust me, you have to
talk to my father,
he's the only one that can help.
[music continues]
Sit.
I have to find Miles.
What-- what am I doing here?
It has been released,
now we are all in danger.
-What?
-[liquid pouring]
You must drink.
What is it?
It's a tea made from the
Yaupon Holly,
it's used to treat nightmares.
How do you know
I have nightmares?
[man] You have a gift,
you're a medium,
you walk in two worlds.
You must drink it,
to know the truth.

I'm not drinking that.
Trust me, you must drink it.

[inner voice]
Don't be afraid...
you're alright.
Don't fight it.
You must see without your eyes,
listen without your ears,
trust your heart.
[Lucy] I see her...
[panting]
She's in trouble.
She's being chased by a man.
[man]
That's not a man,
it's a skinwalker.
Just like you,
my family was torn apart
by the evil shapeshifter.
[panting]
It's tied to these lands.
It will not stop killing until
there's nobody left.
[music continues]
I thought we had defeated it
many years ago...
...but it seems to have escaped
its grave.
[echoing exhale]
-[growling]
-What?
[man] Her name was Ama.
She hasn't been haunting you...
...she's been trying
to warn you.

[Ama] No, no!
[Ama screaming]

[Lucy] What do we do?
[man] You must leave this place,
and never return.

Never return.
[Lucy] I can't.
I have to find my brother.

Chet, we gotta get you
out of here.

It's a shapeshifter.
It's not dead,
it's gonna keep killing.
What do you mean it's not dead?
[man] Bullets will only
slow it down.
You need to find
its guts and burn 'em.
Wh--
I-- I saw its guts in the woods.
It's the only way.
We'll take care of this here.
You must go... quickly.
[music continues]
In order for it to shapeshift,
the skinwalker spits up
its own organs...
This is the only time
it's vulnerable.
If we're not quick enough,
the skinwalker
will find a new host.
Find the organs, and burn them.
Then find your friends,
and get off the island.
[echoing]
Get off the island.
