The Brotherhood VI: Initiation (2009) Movie Script
(soaring music)
(thoughtful electronic music)
(dramatic music)
- [Man Voiceover] What
are you doing to me?
Stop!
That's not part of initiation!
God, no!
Oh my god!
What have I done?
Let me out of here!
Let me out of here!
Help me!
Help me!
(spooky music)
(birds chirping)
(frogs croaking)
- Anyone here?
Guys?
I'm, uh, here for the initiation!
(mysterious music)
You guys can do whatever you want to me.
I'm ready for anything.
Just don't hide and scare me.
Guys?
(ominous music)
Anyone home?
(creepy music)
(moves into menacing music)
You guys are watching me, aren't you?
(shadowy music)
All I have to do is make
it through this weekend
and I'm in.
(clanking)
(mysterious music)
(thudding)
(moves into menacing music)
(heartbeat pounding)
(moves into suspenseful music)
(moves into malevolent music)
Guys?
(foreboding music)
(moves into menacing music)
(heartbeat pounding)
(creaking)
Guys?
You up there?
(creepy music)
(moves into menacing music)
(Andy screams)
(chopping)
(splattering)
(scary music)
(flies buzzing)
(door slams)
(wicked music)
(ominous music)
- [Pledge] Dude, when you said the woods
you weren't kidding.
- [Pledge] Are we there yet?
- [Leader] Shut up, pledges.
(spooky music)
- So this is it?
- So, where are the chicks?
- This weekend is about
bonding, Eddie, not bondage.
Besides, you don't want any chicks
to see what's gonna happen
to you this weekend.
- This is Gamma Kappa property.
Show some respect.
This place has been
around for over 100 years,
and it'll be around long
after we're all dead.
- Sorry, master.
- Why don't you leave the poor kid alone?
- Did you speak to me out of turn, pledge?
Give me 10, now.
(foreboding music)
- Sorry, Kevin.
- Don't worry, mate.
This thing weren't so
primitive and juvenile,
I might be angry.
- Like I said, this is
Gamma Kappa property,
which means it's home to
any member of Gamma Kappa
right across America.
We can't hold our initiation
at Whitman anymore
due to some unfortunate legal matters.
So from now on, initiation
will take place here.
- Hey, it looks like Andy boy B is here.
Hope he followed our directions.
- Me too.
(creepy music)
Pledge, we're here!
- Hey, Andy!
- Where the hell are you, Andy?
Don't be afraid!
(haunting music)
- Man, I don't know what
they're gonna do to us.
I'm scared.
I don't know if I can take it.
- Dude, relax, it's only a weekend.
What's the worst thing
they could do to us.
Think about what being
a Gamma Kappa means.
Better grades, better social life,
better job after graduation.
Chicks!
(foreboding music)
- Hey, Andy's stuff was in our room.
- I sent him up here early
to set up for initiation.
- Where is he?
- Sure he's hanging around here somewhere.
(eerie music)
- Why are you even in
this fraternity, man,
if you hate these guys so much?
- Damn legacy.
Father founded this damn frat.
Probably helped pay for this little piece
of lakefront property
with his alumni donations.
Hope they boot my ass out.
- I've heard what they do to pledges.
I don't even know what to expect.
- Just the same old juvenile
frat stuff. (laughs)
What are they gonna do, kill us?
What's the worst that
could possibly happen?
(haunting music)
- This is great.
(ominous music)
- What the hell do you think you're doing?
- I'm just looking for a room, sir.
- Boyd.
Housemasters get their own rooms.
Not bitch boys like you.
- I'm sorry.
- We're gonna have fun with you.
- I really am a fun guy to have around.
- When I say fun, I mean torture.
Get out!
(eerie music)
- [Morris] Where's the beer?
- It's with that Andy kid.
- He probably forgot the beer
and he's hiding in the woods
because he's scared of
what we're gonna do to him.
- [Doug] Hey, did you guys
know there's an attic?
- Of course I knew that.
- I thought you said you'd
never been here for initiation.
- I'm a senior.
I know everything.
(perplexed music)
- Who owned this place before?
- It was a summer camp back in the '80s,
and then a lumberjack lived
here with his wife and kids.
- What happened to them?
- You don't want to know.
(creepy music)
(moves into weighty piano music)
- What the hell happened to you?
Where are you, John?
(scary music)
(heartbeat pounding)
- Help me.
Please, help me.
(heartbeat pounding)
(sharp thudding)
- Man, how'd we get this place so cheap?
- It wasn't that cheap,
but we had to have it.
- Was he up here when he vanished,
you know, that missing kid?
- Yeah.
John Ralston.
He was a pledge, same as me.
- The police came by the
house again the other day.
They think he vanished from school.
They're still asking questions.
- Look, it was three years ago.
I was a freshman.
We came up here for initiation.
It was tough on him like
it was for all of us,
and he vanished.
We didn't kill him.
I, I don't know what happened to him.
The alumni thought it'd
be best we buy this place,
and we all pledged to keep it quiet,
and that's what we're gonna do, okay?
It's over.
John Ralston was never here.
And no one at Gamma Kappa remembers him.
- So why'd you have to come back then?
(creepy music)
- I'm sorry for my
transgression with the room.
- Ah, in every group of
pledges, there's a whipping boy.
- A Boyd.
- So where do you want
me to sleep tonight?
- Boyd, I think that you should
probably sleep out there.
(foreboding music)
- It's time to begin initiation.
- So take off your shirts.
And your pants.
(ominous music)
It's just the beginning, boys.
First day's always a piece of cake.
It just gets harder and harder from here.
- How do you feel after that?
Do you feel emasculated?
Violated?
Do you feel impotent?
Do you still want the chicks?
Bend over.
Now.
(Morris laughs)
(Shane laughs)
- Are we having fun yet, boys?
- [Pledges] Yes, sir.
- To be a Gamma Kappa, you
must show leadership, loyalty,
and be willing to sacrifice
yourself to the fraternity.
And to do that, you have to
bear the mark of Gamma Kappa
for the rest of your days.
- You gotta be kidding me.
- I am sick of your attitude,
mister trust fund rich boy.
If you're not man enough to
go through initiation, fine.
I'll just call your daddy
and tell him his son's being a big pussy.
Oh wait, does he already know that?
(vexed music)
- You can't break me.
- I will break you.
(heartbeat pounding)
(eerie music)
(flies buzzing)
(Andy screams)
(blood splattering)
Gamma Kappa is more than a fraternity.
It's a way of life.
A brotherhood.
We must bond like brothers.
The only way to do that
is to be blood brothers.
- I hate blood.
Anything but this.
- You want to be a Gamma Kappa?
You can leave at any time.
You're all expendable.
(serious music)
- I'll do anything to be a Gamma Kappa.
(ritualistic music)
(flesh slicing)
- You dare defy me?
- I'll cut myself if you don't mind.
(veiled music)
(flesh slicing)
- Man bleeds.
Man could be killed.
- You guys gonna cut yourselves now?
(Shane laughs)
- Man, Boyd, I'd really love to,
but I'm a hemophiliac.
- We've already survived initiation.
- You must be willing
to lay down your lives
for your fellow brothers.
That's what brotherhood is.
- Now slap hands like blood brothers.
(dramatic music)
(peaceful music)
Go gather some kindling for a campfire.
Go!
(pleasant music)
- Sorry, guys, just passing through.
You guys should probably
put on some clothes.
This is bear country.
They'd like you.
- I'm Kevin.
This is Boyd,
Doug,
Eddie,
and Garrett.
- Tatianna.
So what are you guys doing out here?
- Oh we're with Gamma Kappa Fraternity.
This is initiation.
- Don't apologize.
This is Gamma Kappa property,
and you're trespassing.
- Well be careful.
I've been hiking around
this area for 10 years now,
and you can really get hurt
if you don't know what you're doing.
(mysterious music)
- There's a girl in the woods.
Actually she was kind of hot.
(suspenseful music)
- Hey.
Where's your car?
- I just took the bike up here.
- You must have strong legs.
- Morris, how long is this going on for?
- Tomorrow.
Just do what I ask.
It's initiation weekend.
You want to be a Gamma Kappa, right?
Aren't you sick of
babysitting to pay tuition?
(ominous music)
Your next task is a scavenger hunt.
There are ribbons hung on
certain trees in the woods.
You must find a ribbon if you want to eat
or sleep in a cabin tonight.
And if you find a ribbon,
you can sleep in a cabin too.
- Wait, we can't do it like this.
It's bear country.
- Oh yeah, and watch out for the bears
or you're lunch.
(whistle blows)
(energetic dance music)
Stop playing around, where's Andy?
- I don't know, you tell me.
Maybe he's in the lake.
Maybe he's still finishing
his scavenger hunt.
- I hope so.
It's gonna be the best
initiation we've ever had.
- Oh yeah.
As long as no pledges
disappear without a trace.
- We don't have a problem, do we?
- I don't know, Morris.
Why'd you come back up here?
(serious music)
- Well, we're barred from
using the school, and--
- And you want to find the missing pledge?
Right, that's it?
John Ralston?
Man, why didn't you just
come up here by yourself?
- Because this place is creepy.
Don't you think?
I mean, that's why it's
perfect for initiation.
Look, I...
We didn't kill that pledge, okay?
Do you really think I'm
capable of murdering a pledge?
(concerned music)
- Where are they?
- This sucks.
(gloomy music)
- Found a ribbon!
Found a ribbon, I found a ribbon!
I did good!
(somber music)
(flies buzzing)
Guys?
Where are you?
(worried music)
I think I'm lost!
I think I'm lost.
- Boyd!
- I guess he's the only
one who found a ribbon.
Looks like he's not
staying out here tonight.
- Boyd will never survive
out here all weekend.
We have to find him
and get him out of here
before he gets himself hurt.
- Where the hell were you, Boyd?
- I found a ribbon!
I passed the test!
(chopping)
(menacing music)
- Did you check to see if all
the ribbons were out there?
- That was Andy's job.
I gave him detailed instructions.
- Hope you guys found all the ribbons.
- We didn't find any,
because there were none.
- Actually, Boyd yelled
out and said he found one.
We didn't find any though.
- Out of all the pledges,
you're the only one to find a ribbon?
- I found a ribbon.
I passed the test.
(flies buzzing)
- What'd you do, kill someone to get it?
- You guys are gonna have to
repeat this task tomorrow.
- Go.
Go.
(ominous music)
- Has anyone seen Andy?
(shadowy music)
Don't tell me he's still
playing hide and seek.
- He didn't put the ribbons on the trees.
He's gone.
(serious music)
- Where is he?
- I don't know, man.
Maybe the pledges are playing
a trick of their own on us.
- Nah, that would require imagination.
- [Shane] Hey, we were pledges too once.
We were just like them.
- No, I was never like them.
- Come on, where is he?
- I don't know, okay.
- You never know with you.
- Did you guys know that
this place, Lake Matahuasca,
has a bloody legend?
- A pledge vanished a couple years back.
- What I was gonna say is
that the lumberjack who built this place
went mad and chopped his
wife and kids to pieces.
Would you believe that?
(Boyd laughs)
(other pledges laughing)
Go ahead and get cleaned up for tomorrow.
It's gonna be hell day.
You're gonna need your rest.
- Sorry, man, it just slipped.
- Do you know what happens
if the cops find out that kid
was up here when he vanished?
It's been three years,
and everyone thinks he left
for school or went to Europe
or has been kidnapped.
We made a vow of silence.
Do you want to go to jail?
- I wouldn't really go
to jail now would I?
I'm just a sophomore.
You're a senior.
(foreboding music)
- Boyd!
We're gonna go get cleaned up.
Join us when you're done.
- Hey.
Was that a joke about that
pledge disappearing from school?
- Uh, yeah, John, John...
- Ralston.
- Yeah.
No, it was a big deal actually
when he, uh, went missing from school.
Case went cold.
No one knows really what happened to him.
- Jesus.
- (laughs) I'm joking.
- Oh.
- They're just messing with us.
Don't fall into that trap.
Come on.
(upbeat rock music)
(moves into mysterious music)
- Oh.
- Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.
Just looking for some
good kindling for a fire.
What are you doing out here?
- Uh, just planting these
ribbons for initiation.
- Where are your brothers?
- Um, they're cleaning up.
- Need a place to sleep tonight?
- Uh, I'm at the house, thanks.
- Okay.
Well I've just got my
little sleeping bag here.
Just looking for a man to keep me warm.
- I...
- Later.
(ominous music)
- [Shane] What was your initiation like?
- Unspeakable.
- What, like torture, bondage, sodomy?
Oh come on Morris, we've
done it all, haven't we?
- Worse.
- What's worse than that?
- When you figure that
out, you can have my job.
- I thought maybe I
could sleep over tonight
if you guys have any room.
I don't want to sleep
alone in the woods tonight.
What's your name, honey?
- Morris.
What's your name?
- [Tatianna] Tatianna.
(knocking)
- Hey Morris!
I thought we were gonna have a threesome.
I'm really pissed off at you right now.
(bed creaking)
(Tatianna moaning)
- [Girl On Phone] Love you.
Wish you were back here at school with me.
- I miss you like crazy.
I don't know why I came
up here for initiation.
I don't even know why I want
to be in this stupid fraternity.
(laughs) Gotta be just
like the old man, right?
- [Girl On Phone] Why don't
you get the hell out of there
right now?
Where are you anyway?
- Uh, somewhere near Iogo.
It's a place called, uh, Lake Matahuasca.
I can't just leave.
We're in the middle of nowhere
and I don't have my car.
- [Girl On Phone] Don't
let them scare you.
- (laughs) Don't worry,
they can't kill me.
- [Girl On Phone] Any girls out there?
- Uh, yeah.
We met this one chick in the woods.
Unbelievable, she's actually kind of hot.
(Tatianna moaning)
(Boyd laughs)
- [Girl On Phone] Shut up, jerk.
- I'm joking.
I love you.
- [Girl On Phone] Love you too.
- See you on Monday.
- [Girl On Phone] Okay.
- Love you.
- [Girl On Phone] Bye.
- Bye.
(Tatianna moaning)
(bed creaking)
(hushed music)
- You know they have pills for that.
- What are you talking about?
(Tatianna sighs)
(uncertain music)
Trash.
(guys applauding and cheering)
- I am outta here, Morris!
(slow music)
- Guys?
I hid the ribbons!
I hid them really well!
I went all over the forest!
(perplexed music)
It's freezing out here.
(veiled music)
(Tatianna screams)
(sharp thudding)
(grunting)
(Tatianna screaming)
(scary music)
- What are you doing here?
Is this a joke?
(dramatic music)
(Boyd choking)
(sharp thudding)
(moves into eerie music)
(blade whooshes)
(moves into peaceful music)
- The first day wasn't so bad.
- (laughs) I've been scarred for life.
- It'll all be over by tomorrow.
I'm not even scared anymore.
(scary music)
- I think I saw Boyd.
He's outside the window.
- He's probably just taking a walk.
He might still be hiding the ribbons.
(laughs) Poor bitch boy.
- (laughs) Well Boyd can't survive
like 10 minutes out in the woods.
You saw how scared he was today.
- (laughs) Maybe he's with the girl.
What are the odds they're
together right now?
(relaxing music)
- Hey.
Maybe Andy's living out in the forest
like that lumberjack and his family.
Is there really a lumberjack
that killed his wife and kids?
- What are you, stupid?
10 years ago this place used to be
one of those juvie delinquent camps.
The water supply got
poisoned by toxic waste.
That's why no one comes up here anymore.
- Okay.
So if Andy's not living out in
the forest, then where is he?
- Don't forget about Boyd.
I mean, like it or not,
these pledges are under our watch.
I mean, we can't just kill them.
Can we?
(bottles clanking)
(creepy music)
Let's split up.
- All right.
Go down here?
(mysterious music)
Hey Boyd!
Andy!
Do you guys have any
idea how dead you are?
(weird music)
- Shane?
Pledges?
You want to play a game?
You like hiding out in the forest alone?
It's the only place you can hide from me.
(foreboding music)
- Scare you, pal?
- I found a weapon.
Let's go find these clowns
before the pledges get up.
- Why?
Look Morris, I know why
you bought this place.
Why'd you come back up here?
- It would look suspicious--
- Morris!
- I want to make sure he's gone.
I want to make sure no one else finds him
except maybe me.
- You want to find his body, don't you?
So you and the rest of the alumni
don't have to worry about it anymore.
(dreary music)
- Did Boyd come back?
- I want to know what
happened in your initiation,
just between you and me.
- I don't want to talk about it.
It was horrible.
- I'm talking about the
pledge that disappeared,
John Ralston.
- I told you, he vanished.
- Yeah, you've told me.
And that makes me an accessory
to you and the rest of the alumni
if you did something really sick.
- We buried him, okay?
- You buried him?
- We buried him alive, in a coffin.
It was a shallow grave.
He was the whipping boy.
The leaders really had
it out for that kid.
I was just a pledge.
He was down there screaming his head off
for a couple of hours.
When they finally had me dig him up,
the coffin was there, but he was gone.
- Morris, you realize
if the cops found out--
- I know.
We'd go to jail.
They'd think we killed him
and buried him somewhere.
I looked everywhere for that kid.
He was just gone.
I don't know what happened.
So we just went back to Whitman,
pretended like he was never here.
His parents were dead.
No friends came calling.
We just thought it'd blow over.
Then the cops showed up a week later.
We just kept to the story.
- Where are Andy and Boyd?
Where are they, Morris?
- I don't know!
I don't know.
- You knew where he was buried
and you did nothing to save him.
- I told you, he vanished.
How many times do I have to tell you that?
- I gotta take a leak.
- Well hurry up.
We have to find these kids.
If we go back without
them, there's hell to pay.
Let's go.
(shadowy music)
(heartbeat pounding)
- Hey, did he plant the ribbons?
If we can find the ribbons,
we can figure out where he--
(chopping)
(Morris grunting)
(heartbeat pounding)
(ominous music)
(chopping)
(splattering)
(Shane screaming)
- Guys?
(mysterious music)
(heartbeat pounding)
- I'm thirsty.
- Too much porn, eh?
(Garrett laughs)
They take our pride, I take the beer.
- Is Boyd back yet?
- Uh, yeah.
I think he's just
playing out in the woods.
Morris and Shane will find him.
- They're gone.
- I found this.
Here we go again?
- I woke up this morning
because I thought I heard screaming.
- Today's the big day.
There'll be lots of screaming
before the day's over.
You gotta be ready for anything.
It's just initiation.
It's all a test.
(misty music)
(heartbeat pounding)
(woman screaming)
- We've got a long day ahead.
Don't get up until they make us.
- Did you hear something?
- There's a lot of weird sounds out there.
You gonna go check them all out?
- No, it sounded like a scream.
- It's initiation, fool.
Unless you see a guy out
there with a hockey mask on,
don't worry about it.
They're just trying to
scare the hell out of us.
(upbeat rock music)
(moves into mysterious music)
- Where's Boyd?
It's hide and go seek.
- Let's go find him.
- Hey, every minute they're
gone and we're alone
is another minute we're not
getting our balls shaved
or our manhood glued to a tree.
I scouted these guys
before I joined the house.
I know what happens on
final initiation day.
We should get lost and stay lost.
- They're watching us right now.
- Do you think so?
- It's all part of initiation.
They're watching us,
waiting for us to go crazy,
and then
they're gonna pounce!
(Kevin laughs)
- You know, if they're
playing some kind of game,
we're not gonna get home
unless we find these guys.
- And Boyd, Andy.
- What?
- Maybe they're in the attic.
They're probably laughing
their heads off up here.
(suspenseful music)
- Is that real blood?
- Whose blood?
- Let's get out of here,
go tell the others.
- All right, let's do a check
of the rest of the cabin area,
then do a check in the forest.
- All right.
- If they're not here, we're gonna leave.
(scary music)
Go with him.
Garrett and I will search the camp area.
(foreboding music)
What the hell?
- How are we supposed to get home now?
- Hike out of here if we have to.
- Were you asleep on the drive here?
The nearest crossroad is like 10 miles.
(cellphone rings)
- Hello?
- [Kevin's Girlfriend] Hey
honey, just checking in.
(laughs) Is that girl still there?
- (laughs) Uh, no girls.
Look, I have to go, baby.
- Okay, so do you want to call somebody?
- Let's go find these jerkoffs.
(twisted music)
- Feels good.
Hey.
(shocked music)
Eddie, is that you?
(frantic music)
(sharp thudding)
(Doug screaming)
- Morris?
You guys out here?
I'm coming to get you!
(trickling)
- "I lost my virginity at
Lake Matahuasca in 1980."
Hm.
Good for you, kid.
Lucky.
(knocking)
(suspenseful music)
Who is it?
- Scared?
- Find anybody?
- We're running out of places to look.
- I'm a bit nervous.
(frenzied music)
(moves into questioning music)
What are we supposed to do now?
- There's only one place
they can be hiding.
- That's a big forest.
(ominous music)
- Let's go, dude!
(heartbeat pounding)
(veiled music)
Hey man, let's go back and tell the others
we can't find anyone.
Doug?
(scary music)
Dougie!
(crazy music)
(sharp thudding)
(heartbeat pounding)
(flies buzzing)
(suffering music)
(chopping)
(Eddie screaming)
- Where did Eddie go?
- I sent him to go with Doug.
- Right, right.
Well, let's stay together, okay?
(phone rings)
- Hello?
- [Kevin's Girlfriend] Kevin,
I've been thinking a lot
about our relationship and--
- I can't talk right now.
- [Kevin's Girlfriend]
Why don't you get the hell
out of there and come back to school
and be with me right now?
- Baby, I'll be home by nightfall.
I need you to do something for me, okay?
You need to call the pizza place Sharky's
and have them deliver 10 large pizzas
up to Lake Matahuasca.
Okay, it's way out of their zone,
but tell them Morris from
Gamma Kappa made the order.
Gamma Kappa has an
account with them, okay?
I need you to do that
for me right away, okay?
- [Kevin's Girlfriend] Okay, I'll do it.
See ya later.
- Sorry.
You ever had a girlfriend?
They're high maintenance.
You say what you have to
say to make them happy.
- Yeah, listen, what
if they don't deliver?
I mean, this isn't exactly
30 minutes or you get it free territory.
- Doug!
Eddie!
What's going on here?
- I don't know, man.
But they're both naked,
so they can't be far.
Two naked pledges in the forest,
that is a bad combination.
Man, but I've had it with this crap.
It's just a fraternity.
Is it really worth it?
- Yeah, it is.
- Yeah. (laughs)
It is.
- Let's comb the forest up and down
and then we're out of here.
- All right.
(mysterious music)
You think they're playing
a prank on us, dude?
- They're leading us into a trap.
- (laughs) What, so they
can shave our balls?
- That's not gonna happen.
- I really need to get in
this damn fraternity, dude.
(malicious music)
(moves into creepy music)
What kind of pizza did you order?
- What?
- Well I mean, you didn't tell her
what kind of pizza you wanted
when your girlfriend called.
- Idiot, I just did that
to get someone up here.
In case we need a ride.
Which it looks like we do.
- Well, I mean, if they don't know--
- Shut up.
Where are they?
- Hey, don't fear.
I'm here.
(heartbeat pounding)
(crazy music)
Andy!
Boyd!
Doug!
- Shh.
(suspenseful music)
(heartbeat pounding)
- [Garrett] Finally, civilization.
- [Kevin] Who the hell
would be living out here?
- [Garrett] Game over, we found you.
(eerie music)
(heartbeat pounding)
(flies buzzing)
- Oh my god.
(heartbeat pounding)
(shadowy music)
(terror-stricken music)
Garrett.
(flies buzzing)
(heartbeat pounding)
(creepy music)
- Kevin, over here.
(flies buzzing)
(heartbeat pounding)
I think this is a prank.
That smell.
- It can't be real.
I don't know anymore.
They gotta be here somewhere.
- They're all dead.
Don't you get it?
They're all dead.
They were all murdered.
This was a trap.
- Initiation.
- What are we gonna do?
- We're gonna get out of here.
We're gonna go back to the cabin
and I'm gonna hotwire one of the cars
and we're just gonna leave.
We're gonna get out of here, okay?
(rustling)
(foreboding music)
(menacing music)
(heartbeat pounding)
- Who is he?
- Why?
Let's go.
(terror-stricken music)
(heartbeat pounding)
Garrett!
Garrett!
(Garrett screams)
Garrett!
(frantic music)
(engine stalling)
(phone beeping)
They're all dead.
- [Kevin's Girlfriend] Kevin,
I spoke to the pizza guy,
and he told me that--
- Stacy, shut up.
- [Stacy] Kevin, he hung up on me
when I told him where you were.
- Stacy, look, I need
you to call the police
and get them up here immediately, okay.
Tell them the other
pledges are dead, okay.
- [Stacy] Is this a joke?
- It's not a joke.
Listen, I need you to call the police
and get them up here right now!
Tell them everyone's dead, okay!
We're at Lake--
- [Stacy] Lake Matahuasca,
yeah, okay, okay.
(phone beeping)
- The call, make the call.
(phone beeping)
- [Garrett] Help!
- Garrett?
Garrett?
- [Garrett] I'm in the forest!
- Garrett?
- [Garrett] Help, I'm bleeding like crazy!
The killer's dead!
(dramatic music)
- Dude, I thought you were dead.
- How do we get out of here
is the only thing that matters.
- Stacy called me,
I told her what happened.
The cops will be here.
- Do you trust her to do that?
- They'll be here.
Where is he?
- I don't know, man.
He took me back to his shed,
back to that little closet,
so he could cut me up in little pieces.
I grabbed his ax, man, and I attacked him.
I fought for my life.
And I escaped.
- Is he dead?
- [Garrett] I don't know.
- Maybe I should go check.
- That sounds like a stupid
idea, don't you think?
You should quit while you're ahead.
- Let me get you out of here.
(Garrett grunts)
It'd take you 100 days to
walk to the nearest crossroad.
- Just go.
I'll be okay.
- The cops should be here
in like 15, 20 minutes tops.
- Yeah, if your girlfriend called the cops
like you told her to.
- Maybe one of the guys
left a cell in his room.
- Go, I'll be okay.
- I can't leave you alone, dude.
You'll bleed to death.
- There's probably a
first aid in the cabinet.
(suspenseful music)
I hope you didn't find anything.
- What?
- It's almost over, Kevin.
I like you.
This is gonna be hard for
me, believe it or not.
- You're bleeding.
- There's nothing wrong with me.
Not physically.
I didn't know you had
your cellphone on you.
I checked before we left.
- What's going on, Garrett?
We gotta get out of here.
- Three years ago when I
was still in high school
I had a brother at Whitman.
He joined a fraternity called Gamma Kappa.
They took him here for initiation.
And they buried him alive!
His name was John.
John Ralston.
- John Ralston.
- Was he up here when he vanished?
- I looked everywhere for that kid.
Where are you, John?
- You knew where he was buried
and you did nothing to save him.
- I know, we'd go to jail.
I want to make sure he's gone.
I want to make sure no one else finds him
except maybe me.
- You want to find his body, don't you?
- John Ralston was never here.
And no one at Gamma Kappa remembers him.
- My real name is Garrett Ralston.
- Garrett--
- You think we can let them live?
Could we?
Somebody had to put an end
to this barbaric tradition
called initiation.
In my brother's case, it was murder.
They tried to keep it a secret.
They said it was an accident.
It was a murder.
Almost.
I was the only one he told where he was.
I came up here looking for him
when he didn't come back to school.
We found him.
(heartbeat pounding)
(somber music)
He found us.
(heartbeat pounding)
(weighty music)
- Who the heck is we?
- Family.
Blood is blood.
- The cops are gonna be here soon.
- The cops aren't coming, Kevin.
I'm the only one who can help you.
- What about Stacy?
- Stacy is my sister.
No one knows you're here.
No one knows I'm here.
Because we're not even
supposed to be here.
Because initiation is immoral and wrong.
- But I'm your best friend.
- Yeah, you were my best friend.
And I couldn't have made it
through college without you, pal.
This is gonna be hard for me.
Don't make me call Brother Johnny.
(blade whooshing)
- I found a laptop in Shane's room.
I emailed the cops, our
friends at the dorms,
my friends, the dean, everybody.
- You can't run, Kevin.
You can't hide.
I don't believe you about that email.
I know you.
Don't make me enjoy killing you.
I don't want to enjoy this.
I know this place better than you do.
I've been coming up here for three years.
My brother knows this place
like the back of his hand.
He was buried here, remember?
(crazy music)
- I would never hurt your brother.
You know I would never participate
in something like that.
- I know.
You're a good person with strong morals.
Unfortunately, I knew you
wouldn't be part of my revenge.
Murder.
(slicing)
(malicious music)
Which is why you gotta go, pal.
Can't leave any witnesses.
- Look, I told you I sent that email.
You are not gonna get away with this.
- I sent an email too, and it got bounced.
The forest, the trees,
they block all the signals.
I'm not stopping.
I love you, but
blood is thicker than beer.
(chopping)
(Garrett screams)
(dramatic music)
(phone ringing)
- [Dispatcher] 911 emergency.
- Hello?
My name's Kevin, I'm a
student at Whitman College.
Okay, I'm with the Gamma Kappa House,
and there's been murders.
They're all dead.
Okay, I need you guys to
send out the cops right now.
- [Dispatcher] All right, sir, calm down.
Where are you?
(ominous music)
- Okay, they'll be here soon?
- [Dispatcher] The
police are on their way.
Keep your phone on,
because I put a trace on your line
in case you were wrong
about your location.
That way takes much longer.
Can you just hide until the police arrive?
- Yeah, I can hide.
Um, I'll be in the attic, okay?
(frantic music)
(moves into shadowy music)
(heartbeat pounding)
They'll be here soon.
Come on, get here.
(creepy music)
Look, John!
(heartbeat pounding)
(veiled music)
Look, you killed them.
(chopping)
(Garrett screaming)
(slicing)
You got your revenge
against the ones who put
you through initiation,
who buried you alive.
(wrathful music)
I'm glad you killed them.
(chopping)
I'm just a pledge like you were.
I'm innocent.
John, you have to understand.
Initiation's over.
(menacing music)
- No.
(blade squishing)
(John grunts)
(gloomy music)
- That one was for me.
(weighty music)
Everyone's dead, aren't they?
(scary music)
- [Cop] Are you the one
who called the police?
It's okay.
We're here.
It's over.
- Initiation's over.
- [Cop] What happened here?
- They're all dead.
(slicing)
(crazy music)
(Garrett screams)
- [Cop] Who did this?
- He's in the attic.
I killed him.
(squishy stabbing)
He used to be a pledge like me.
- [Cop] We searched the
cabin, the whole area,
and all we're finding
are your dead friends.
There's no one else.
- In the attic, I killed him!
- [Cop] We looked everywhere.
There's nothing in the
attic but lots of blood.
Kevin, is it possible that
you murdered your fraternity brothers?
- No, I'm not a murderer.
- [Cop] Well how else
do you explain all this?
- I killed him, okay.
He killed everyone except for me.
- [Cop] Who, Kevin?
Who?
- John Ralston.
Gamma Kappa.
He's still out there.
(eerie music)
John Ralston.
Gamma Kappa.
He's still out there.
John Ralston.
Gamma Kappa.
He's still out there.
(somber music)
(dramatic music)
(mysterious music)
(haunting music)
(misty music)
(thoughtful electronic music)
(dramatic music)
- [Man Voiceover] What
are you doing to me?
Stop!
That's not part of initiation!
God, no!
Oh my god!
What have I done?
Let me out of here!
Let me out of here!
Help me!
Help me!
(spooky music)
(birds chirping)
(frogs croaking)
- Anyone here?
Guys?
I'm, uh, here for the initiation!
(mysterious music)
You guys can do whatever you want to me.
I'm ready for anything.
Just don't hide and scare me.
Guys?
(ominous music)
Anyone home?
(creepy music)
(moves into menacing music)
You guys are watching me, aren't you?
(shadowy music)
All I have to do is make
it through this weekend
and I'm in.
(clanking)
(mysterious music)
(thudding)
(moves into menacing music)
(heartbeat pounding)
(moves into suspenseful music)
(moves into malevolent music)
Guys?
(foreboding music)
(moves into menacing music)
(heartbeat pounding)
(creaking)
Guys?
You up there?
(creepy music)
(moves into menacing music)
(Andy screams)
(chopping)
(splattering)
(scary music)
(flies buzzing)
(door slams)
(wicked music)
(ominous music)
- [Pledge] Dude, when you said the woods
you weren't kidding.
- [Pledge] Are we there yet?
- [Leader] Shut up, pledges.
(spooky music)
- So this is it?
- So, where are the chicks?
- This weekend is about
bonding, Eddie, not bondage.
Besides, you don't want any chicks
to see what's gonna happen
to you this weekend.
- This is Gamma Kappa property.
Show some respect.
This place has been
around for over 100 years,
and it'll be around long
after we're all dead.
- Sorry, master.
- Why don't you leave the poor kid alone?
- Did you speak to me out of turn, pledge?
Give me 10, now.
(foreboding music)
- Sorry, Kevin.
- Don't worry, mate.
This thing weren't so
primitive and juvenile,
I might be angry.
- Like I said, this is
Gamma Kappa property,
which means it's home to
any member of Gamma Kappa
right across America.
We can't hold our initiation
at Whitman anymore
due to some unfortunate legal matters.
So from now on, initiation
will take place here.
- Hey, it looks like Andy boy B is here.
Hope he followed our directions.
- Me too.
(creepy music)
Pledge, we're here!
- Hey, Andy!
- Where the hell are you, Andy?
Don't be afraid!
(haunting music)
- Man, I don't know what
they're gonna do to us.
I'm scared.
I don't know if I can take it.
- Dude, relax, it's only a weekend.
What's the worst thing
they could do to us.
Think about what being
a Gamma Kappa means.
Better grades, better social life,
better job after graduation.
Chicks!
(foreboding music)
- Hey, Andy's stuff was in our room.
- I sent him up here early
to set up for initiation.
- Where is he?
- Sure he's hanging around here somewhere.
(eerie music)
- Why are you even in
this fraternity, man,
if you hate these guys so much?
- Damn legacy.
Father founded this damn frat.
Probably helped pay for this little piece
of lakefront property
with his alumni donations.
Hope they boot my ass out.
- I've heard what they do to pledges.
I don't even know what to expect.
- Just the same old juvenile
frat stuff. (laughs)
What are they gonna do, kill us?
What's the worst that
could possibly happen?
(haunting music)
- This is great.
(ominous music)
- What the hell do you think you're doing?
- I'm just looking for a room, sir.
- Boyd.
Housemasters get their own rooms.
Not bitch boys like you.
- I'm sorry.
- We're gonna have fun with you.
- I really am a fun guy to have around.
- When I say fun, I mean torture.
Get out!
(eerie music)
- [Morris] Where's the beer?
- It's with that Andy kid.
- He probably forgot the beer
and he's hiding in the woods
because he's scared of
what we're gonna do to him.
- [Doug] Hey, did you guys
know there's an attic?
- Of course I knew that.
- I thought you said you'd
never been here for initiation.
- I'm a senior.
I know everything.
(perplexed music)
- Who owned this place before?
- It was a summer camp back in the '80s,
and then a lumberjack lived
here with his wife and kids.
- What happened to them?
- You don't want to know.
(creepy music)
(moves into weighty piano music)
- What the hell happened to you?
Where are you, John?
(scary music)
(heartbeat pounding)
- Help me.
Please, help me.
(heartbeat pounding)
(sharp thudding)
- Man, how'd we get this place so cheap?
- It wasn't that cheap,
but we had to have it.
- Was he up here when he vanished,
you know, that missing kid?
- Yeah.
John Ralston.
He was a pledge, same as me.
- The police came by the
house again the other day.
They think he vanished from school.
They're still asking questions.
- Look, it was three years ago.
I was a freshman.
We came up here for initiation.
It was tough on him like
it was for all of us,
and he vanished.
We didn't kill him.
I, I don't know what happened to him.
The alumni thought it'd
be best we buy this place,
and we all pledged to keep it quiet,
and that's what we're gonna do, okay?
It's over.
John Ralston was never here.
And no one at Gamma Kappa remembers him.
- So why'd you have to come back then?
(creepy music)
- I'm sorry for my
transgression with the room.
- Ah, in every group of
pledges, there's a whipping boy.
- A Boyd.
- So where do you want
me to sleep tonight?
- Boyd, I think that you should
probably sleep out there.
(foreboding music)
- It's time to begin initiation.
- So take off your shirts.
And your pants.
(ominous music)
It's just the beginning, boys.
First day's always a piece of cake.
It just gets harder and harder from here.
- How do you feel after that?
Do you feel emasculated?
Violated?
Do you feel impotent?
Do you still want the chicks?
Bend over.
Now.
(Morris laughs)
(Shane laughs)
- Are we having fun yet, boys?
- [Pledges] Yes, sir.
- To be a Gamma Kappa, you
must show leadership, loyalty,
and be willing to sacrifice
yourself to the fraternity.
And to do that, you have to
bear the mark of Gamma Kappa
for the rest of your days.
- You gotta be kidding me.
- I am sick of your attitude,
mister trust fund rich boy.
If you're not man enough to
go through initiation, fine.
I'll just call your daddy
and tell him his son's being a big pussy.
Oh wait, does he already know that?
(vexed music)
- You can't break me.
- I will break you.
(heartbeat pounding)
(eerie music)
(flies buzzing)
(Andy screams)
(blood splattering)
Gamma Kappa is more than a fraternity.
It's a way of life.
A brotherhood.
We must bond like brothers.
The only way to do that
is to be blood brothers.
- I hate blood.
Anything but this.
- You want to be a Gamma Kappa?
You can leave at any time.
You're all expendable.
(serious music)
- I'll do anything to be a Gamma Kappa.
(ritualistic music)
(flesh slicing)
- You dare defy me?
- I'll cut myself if you don't mind.
(veiled music)
(flesh slicing)
- Man bleeds.
Man could be killed.
- You guys gonna cut yourselves now?
(Shane laughs)
- Man, Boyd, I'd really love to,
but I'm a hemophiliac.
- We've already survived initiation.
- You must be willing
to lay down your lives
for your fellow brothers.
That's what brotherhood is.
- Now slap hands like blood brothers.
(dramatic music)
(peaceful music)
Go gather some kindling for a campfire.
Go!
(pleasant music)
- Sorry, guys, just passing through.
You guys should probably
put on some clothes.
This is bear country.
They'd like you.
- I'm Kevin.
This is Boyd,
Doug,
Eddie,
and Garrett.
- Tatianna.
So what are you guys doing out here?
- Oh we're with Gamma Kappa Fraternity.
This is initiation.
- Don't apologize.
This is Gamma Kappa property,
and you're trespassing.
- Well be careful.
I've been hiking around
this area for 10 years now,
and you can really get hurt
if you don't know what you're doing.
(mysterious music)
- There's a girl in the woods.
Actually she was kind of hot.
(suspenseful music)
- Hey.
Where's your car?
- I just took the bike up here.
- You must have strong legs.
- Morris, how long is this going on for?
- Tomorrow.
Just do what I ask.
It's initiation weekend.
You want to be a Gamma Kappa, right?
Aren't you sick of
babysitting to pay tuition?
(ominous music)
Your next task is a scavenger hunt.
There are ribbons hung on
certain trees in the woods.
You must find a ribbon if you want to eat
or sleep in a cabin tonight.
And if you find a ribbon,
you can sleep in a cabin too.
- Wait, we can't do it like this.
It's bear country.
- Oh yeah, and watch out for the bears
or you're lunch.
(whistle blows)
(energetic dance music)
Stop playing around, where's Andy?
- I don't know, you tell me.
Maybe he's in the lake.
Maybe he's still finishing
his scavenger hunt.
- I hope so.
It's gonna be the best
initiation we've ever had.
- Oh yeah.
As long as no pledges
disappear without a trace.
- We don't have a problem, do we?
- I don't know, Morris.
Why'd you come back up here?
(serious music)
- Well, we're barred from
using the school, and--
- And you want to find the missing pledge?
Right, that's it?
John Ralston?
Man, why didn't you just
come up here by yourself?
- Because this place is creepy.
Don't you think?
I mean, that's why it's
perfect for initiation.
Look, I...
We didn't kill that pledge, okay?
Do you really think I'm
capable of murdering a pledge?
(concerned music)
- Where are they?
- This sucks.
(gloomy music)
- Found a ribbon!
Found a ribbon, I found a ribbon!
I did good!
(somber music)
(flies buzzing)
Guys?
Where are you?
(worried music)
I think I'm lost!
I think I'm lost.
- Boyd!
- I guess he's the only
one who found a ribbon.
Looks like he's not
staying out here tonight.
- Boyd will never survive
out here all weekend.
We have to find him
and get him out of here
before he gets himself hurt.
- Where the hell were you, Boyd?
- I found a ribbon!
I passed the test!
(chopping)
(menacing music)
- Did you check to see if all
the ribbons were out there?
- That was Andy's job.
I gave him detailed instructions.
- Hope you guys found all the ribbons.
- We didn't find any,
because there were none.
- Actually, Boyd yelled
out and said he found one.
We didn't find any though.
- Out of all the pledges,
you're the only one to find a ribbon?
- I found a ribbon.
I passed the test.
(flies buzzing)
- What'd you do, kill someone to get it?
- You guys are gonna have to
repeat this task tomorrow.
- Go.
Go.
(ominous music)
- Has anyone seen Andy?
(shadowy music)
Don't tell me he's still
playing hide and seek.
- He didn't put the ribbons on the trees.
He's gone.
(serious music)
- Where is he?
- I don't know, man.
Maybe the pledges are playing
a trick of their own on us.
- Nah, that would require imagination.
- [Shane] Hey, we were pledges too once.
We were just like them.
- No, I was never like them.
- Come on, where is he?
- I don't know, okay.
- You never know with you.
- Did you guys know that
this place, Lake Matahuasca,
has a bloody legend?
- A pledge vanished a couple years back.
- What I was gonna say is
that the lumberjack who built this place
went mad and chopped his
wife and kids to pieces.
Would you believe that?
(Boyd laughs)
(other pledges laughing)
Go ahead and get cleaned up for tomorrow.
It's gonna be hell day.
You're gonna need your rest.
- Sorry, man, it just slipped.
- Do you know what happens
if the cops find out that kid
was up here when he vanished?
It's been three years,
and everyone thinks he left
for school or went to Europe
or has been kidnapped.
We made a vow of silence.
Do you want to go to jail?
- I wouldn't really go
to jail now would I?
I'm just a sophomore.
You're a senior.
(foreboding music)
- Boyd!
We're gonna go get cleaned up.
Join us when you're done.
- Hey.
Was that a joke about that
pledge disappearing from school?
- Uh, yeah, John, John...
- Ralston.
- Yeah.
No, it was a big deal actually
when he, uh, went missing from school.
Case went cold.
No one knows really what happened to him.
- Jesus.
- (laughs) I'm joking.
- Oh.
- They're just messing with us.
Don't fall into that trap.
Come on.
(upbeat rock music)
(moves into mysterious music)
- Oh.
- Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.
Just looking for some
good kindling for a fire.
What are you doing out here?
- Uh, just planting these
ribbons for initiation.
- Where are your brothers?
- Um, they're cleaning up.
- Need a place to sleep tonight?
- Uh, I'm at the house, thanks.
- Okay.
Well I've just got my
little sleeping bag here.
Just looking for a man to keep me warm.
- I...
- Later.
(ominous music)
- [Shane] What was your initiation like?
- Unspeakable.
- What, like torture, bondage, sodomy?
Oh come on Morris, we've
done it all, haven't we?
- Worse.
- What's worse than that?
- When you figure that
out, you can have my job.
- I thought maybe I
could sleep over tonight
if you guys have any room.
I don't want to sleep
alone in the woods tonight.
What's your name, honey?
- Morris.
What's your name?
- [Tatianna] Tatianna.
(knocking)
- Hey Morris!
I thought we were gonna have a threesome.
I'm really pissed off at you right now.
(bed creaking)
(Tatianna moaning)
- [Girl On Phone] Love you.
Wish you were back here at school with me.
- I miss you like crazy.
I don't know why I came
up here for initiation.
I don't even know why I want
to be in this stupid fraternity.
(laughs) Gotta be just
like the old man, right?
- [Girl On Phone] Why don't
you get the hell out of there
right now?
Where are you anyway?
- Uh, somewhere near Iogo.
It's a place called, uh, Lake Matahuasca.
I can't just leave.
We're in the middle of nowhere
and I don't have my car.
- [Girl On Phone] Don't
let them scare you.
- (laughs) Don't worry,
they can't kill me.
- [Girl On Phone] Any girls out there?
- Uh, yeah.
We met this one chick in the woods.
Unbelievable, she's actually kind of hot.
(Tatianna moaning)
(Boyd laughs)
- [Girl On Phone] Shut up, jerk.
- I'm joking.
I love you.
- [Girl On Phone] Love you too.
- See you on Monday.
- [Girl On Phone] Okay.
- Love you.
- [Girl On Phone] Bye.
- Bye.
(Tatianna moaning)
(bed creaking)
(hushed music)
- You know they have pills for that.
- What are you talking about?
(Tatianna sighs)
(uncertain music)
Trash.
(guys applauding and cheering)
- I am outta here, Morris!
(slow music)
- Guys?
I hid the ribbons!
I hid them really well!
I went all over the forest!
(perplexed music)
It's freezing out here.
(veiled music)
(Tatianna screams)
(sharp thudding)
(grunting)
(Tatianna screaming)
(scary music)
- What are you doing here?
Is this a joke?
(dramatic music)
(Boyd choking)
(sharp thudding)
(moves into eerie music)
(blade whooshes)
(moves into peaceful music)
- The first day wasn't so bad.
- (laughs) I've been scarred for life.
- It'll all be over by tomorrow.
I'm not even scared anymore.
(scary music)
- I think I saw Boyd.
He's outside the window.
- He's probably just taking a walk.
He might still be hiding the ribbons.
(laughs) Poor bitch boy.
- (laughs) Well Boyd can't survive
like 10 minutes out in the woods.
You saw how scared he was today.
- (laughs) Maybe he's with the girl.
What are the odds they're
together right now?
(relaxing music)
- Hey.
Maybe Andy's living out in the forest
like that lumberjack and his family.
Is there really a lumberjack
that killed his wife and kids?
- What are you, stupid?
10 years ago this place used to be
one of those juvie delinquent camps.
The water supply got
poisoned by toxic waste.
That's why no one comes up here anymore.
- Okay.
So if Andy's not living out in
the forest, then where is he?
- Don't forget about Boyd.
I mean, like it or not,
these pledges are under our watch.
I mean, we can't just kill them.
Can we?
(bottles clanking)
(creepy music)
Let's split up.
- All right.
Go down here?
(mysterious music)
Hey Boyd!
Andy!
Do you guys have any
idea how dead you are?
(weird music)
- Shane?
Pledges?
You want to play a game?
You like hiding out in the forest alone?
It's the only place you can hide from me.
(foreboding music)
- Scare you, pal?
- I found a weapon.
Let's go find these clowns
before the pledges get up.
- Why?
Look Morris, I know why
you bought this place.
Why'd you come back up here?
- It would look suspicious--
- Morris!
- I want to make sure he's gone.
I want to make sure no one else finds him
except maybe me.
- You want to find his body, don't you?
So you and the rest of the alumni
don't have to worry about it anymore.
(dreary music)
- Did Boyd come back?
- I want to know what
happened in your initiation,
just between you and me.
- I don't want to talk about it.
It was horrible.
- I'm talking about the
pledge that disappeared,
John Ralston.
- I told you, he vanished.
- Yeah, you've told me.
And that makes me an accessory
to you and the rest of the alumni
if you did something really sick.
- We buried him, okay?
- You buried him?
- We buried him alive, in a coffin.
It was a shallow grave.
He was the whipping boy.
The leaders really had
it out for that kid.
I was just a pledge.
He was down there screaming his head off
for a couple of hours.
When they finally had me dig him up,
the coffin was there, but he was gone.
- Morris, you realize
if the cops found out--
- I know.
We'd go to jail.
They'd think we killed him
and buried him somewhere.
I looked everywhere for that kid.
He was just gone.
I don't know what happened.
So we just went back to Whitman,
pretended like he was never here.
His parents were dead.
No friends came calling.
We just thought it'd blow over.
Then the cops showed up a week later.
We just kept to the story.
- Where are Andy and Boyd?
Where are they, Morris?
- I don't know!
I don't know.
- You knew where he was buried
and you did nothing to save him.
- I told you, he vanished.
How many times do I have to tell you that?
- I gotta take a leak.
- Well hurry up.
We have to find these kids.
If we go back without
them, there's hell to pay.
Let's go.
(shadowy music)
(heartbeat pounding)
- Hey, did he plant the ribbons?
If we can find the ribbons,
we can figure out where he--
(chopping)
(Morris grunting)
(heartbeat pounding)
(ominous music)
(chopping)
(splattering)
(Shane screaming)
- Guys?
(mysterious music)
(heartbeat pounding)
- I'm thirsty.
- Too much porn, eh?
(Garrett laughs)
They take our pride, I take the beer.
- Is Boyd back yet?
- Uh, yeah.
I think he's just
playing out in the woods.
Morris and Shane will find him.
- They're gone.
- I found this.
Here we go again?
- I woke up this morning
because I thought I heard screaming.
- Today's the big day.
There'll be lots of screaming
before the day's over.
You gotta be ready for anything.
It's just initiation.
It's all a test.
(misty music)
(heartbeat pounding)
(woman screaming)
- We've got a long day ahead.
Don't get up until they make us.
- Did you hear something?
- There's a lot of weird sounds out there.
You gonna go check them all out?
- No, it sounded like a scream.
- It's initiation, fool.
Unless you see a guy out
there with a hockey mask on,
don't worry about it.
They're just trying to
scare the hell out of us.
(upbeat rock music)
(moves into mysterious music)
- Where's Boyd?
It's hide and go seek.
- Let's go find him.
- Hey, every minute they're
gone and we're alone
is another minute we're not
getting our balls shaved
or our manhood glued to a tree.
I scouted these guys
before I joined the house.
I know what happens on
final initiation day.
We should get lost and stay lost.
- They're watching us right now.
- Do you think so?
- It's all part of initiation.
They're watching us,
waiting for us to go crazy,
and then
they're gonna pounce!
(Kevin laughs)
- You know, if they're
playing some kind of game,
we're not gonna get home
unless we find these guys.
- And Boyd, Andy.
- What?
- Maybe they're in the attic.
They're probably laughing
their heads off up here.
(suspenseful music)
- Is that real blood?
- Whose blood?
- Let's get out of here,
go tell the others.
- All right, let's do a check
of the rest of the cabin area,
then do a check in the forest.
- All right.
- If they're not here, we're gonna leave.
(scary music)
Go with him.
Garrett and I will search the camp area.
(foreboding music)
What the hell?
- How are we supposed to get home now?
- Hike out of here if we have to.
- Were you asleep on the drive here?
The nearest crossroad is like 10 miles.
(cellphone rings)
- Hello?
- [Kevin's Girlfriend] Hey
honey, just checking in.
(laughs) Is that girl still there?
- (laughs) Uh, no girls.
Look, I have to go, baby.
- Okay, so do you want to call somebody?
- Let's go find these jerkoffs.
(twisted music)
- Feels good.
Hey.
(shocked music)
Eddie, is that you?
(frantic music)
(sharp thudding)
(Doug screaming)
- Morris?
You guys out here?
I'm coming to get you!
(trickling)
- "I lost my virginity at
Lake Matahuasca in 1980."
Hm.
Good for you, kid.
Lucky.
(knocking)
(suspenseful music)
Who is it?
- Scared?
- Find anybody?
- We're running out of places to look.
- I'm a bit nervous.
(frenzied music)
(moves into questioning music)
What are we supposed to do now?
- There's only one place
they can be hiding.
- That's a big forest.
(ominous music)
- Let's go, dude!
(heartbeat pounding)
(veiled music)
Hey man, let's go back and tell the others
we can't find anyone.
Doug?
(scary music)
Dougie!
(crazy music)
(sharp thudding)
(heartbeat pounding)
(flies buzzing)
(suffering music)
(chopping)
(Eddie screaming)
- Where did Eddie go?
- I sent him to go with Doug.
- Right, right.
Well, let's stay together, okay?
(phone rings)
- Hello?
- [Kevin's Girlfriend] Kevin,
I've been thinking a lot
about our relationship and--
- I can't talk right now.
- [Kevin's Girlfriend]
Why don't you get the hell
out of there and come back to school
and be with me right now?
- Baby, I'll be home by nightfall.
I need you to do something for me, okay?
You need to call the pizza place Sharky's
and have them deliver 10 large pizzas
up to Lake Matahuasca.
Okay, it's way out of their zone,
but tell them Morris from
Gamma Kappa made the order.
Gamma Kappa has an
account with them, okay?
I need you to do that
for me right away, okay?
- [Kevin's Girlfriend] Okay, I'll do it.
See ya later.
- Sorry.
You ever had a girlfriend?
They're high maintenance.
You say what you have to
say to make them happy.
- Yeah, listen, what
if they don't deliver?
I mean, this isn't exactly
30 minutes or you get it free territory.
- Doug!
Eddie!
What's going on here?
- I don't know, man.
But they're both naked,
so they can't be far.
Two naked pledges in the forest,
that is a bad combination.
Man, but I've had it with this crap.
It's just a fraternity.
Is it really worth it?
- Yeah, it is.
- Yeah. (laughs)
It is.
- Let's comb the forest up and down
and then we're out of here.
- All right.
(mysterious music)
You think they're playing
a prank on us, dude?
- They're leading us into a trap.
- (laughs) What, so they
can shave our balls?
- That's not gonna happen.
- I really need to get in
this damn fraternity, dude.
(malicious music)
(moves into creepy music)
What kind of pizza did you order?
- What?
- Well I mean, you didn't tell her
what kind of pizza you wanted
when your girlfriend called.
- Idiot, I just did that
to get someone up here.
In case we need a ride.
Which it looks like we do.
- Well, I mean, if they don't know--
- Shut up.
Where are they?
- Hey, don't fear.
I'm here.
(heartbeat pounding)
(crazy music)
Andy!
Boyd!
Doug!
- Shh.
(suspenseful music)
(heartbeat pounding)
- [Garrett] Finally, civilization.
- [Kevin] Who the hell
would be living out here?
- [Garrett] Game over, we found you.
(eerie music)
(heartbeat pounding)
(flies buzzing)
- Oh my god.
(heartbeat pounding)
(shadowy music)
(terror-stricken music)
Garrett.
(flies buzzing)
(heartbeat pounding)
(creepy music)
- Kevin, over here.
(flies buzzing)
(heartbeat pounding)
I think this is a prank.
That smell.
- It can't be real.
I don't know anymore.
They gotta be here somewhere.
- They're all dead.
Don't you get it?
They're all dead.
They were all murdered.
This was a trap.
- Initiation.
- What are we gonna do?
- We're gonna get out of here.
We're gonna go back to the cabin
and I'm gonna hotwire one of the cars
and we're just gonna leave.
We're gonna get out of here, okay?
(rustling)
(foreboding music)
(menacing music)
(heartbeat pounding)
- Who is he?
- Why?
Let's go.
(terror-stricken music)
(heartbeat pounding)
Garrett!
Garrett!
(Garrett screams)
Garrett!
(frantic music)
(engine stalling)
(phone beeping)
They're all dead.
- [Kevin's Girlfriend] Kevin,
I spoke to the pizza guy,
and he told me that--
- Stacy, shut up.
- [Stacy] Kevin, he hung up on me
when I told him where you were.
- Stacy, look, I need
you to call the police
and get them up here immediately, okay.
Tell them the other
pledges are dead, okay.
- [Stacy] Is this a joke?
- It's not a joke.
Listen, I need you to call the police
and get them up here right now!
Tell them everyone's dead, okay!
We're at Lake--
- [Stacy] Lake Matahuasca,
yeah, okay, okay.
(phone beeping)
- The call, make the call.
(phone beeping)
- [Garrett] Help!
- Garrett?
Garrett?
- [Garrett] I'm in the forest!
- Garrett?
- [Garrett] Help, I'm bleeding like crazy!
The killer's dead!
(dramatic music)
- Dude, I thought you were dead.
- How do we get out of here
is the only thing that matters.
- Stacy called me,
I told her what happened.
The cops will be here.
- Do you trust her to do that?
- They'll be here.
Where is he?
- I don't know, man.
He took me back to his shed,
back to that little closet,
so he could cut me up in little pieces.
I grabbed his ax, man, and I attacked him.
I fought for my life.
And I escaped.
- Is he dead?
- [Garrett] I don't know.
- Maybe I should go check.
- That sounds like a stupid
idea, don't you think?
You should quit while you're ahead.
- Let me get you out of here.
(Garrett grunts)
It'd take you 100 days to
walk to the nearest crossroad.
- Just go.
I'll be okay.
- The cops should be here
in like 15, 20 minutes tops.
- Yeah, if your girlfriend called the cops
like you told her to.
- Maybe one of the guys
left a cell in his room.
- Go, I'll be okay.
- I can't leave you alone, dude.
You'll bleed to death.
- There's probably a
first aid in the cabinet.
(suspenseful music)
I hope you didn't find anything.
- What?
- It's almost over, Kevin.
I like you.
This is gonna be hard for
me, believe it or not.
- You're bleeding.
- There's nothing wrong with me.
Not physically.
I didn't know you had
your cellphone on you.
I checked before we left.
- What's going on, Garrett?
We gotta get out of here.
- Three years ago when I
was still in high school
I had a brother at Whitman.
He joined a fraternity called Gamma Kappa.
They took him here for initiation.
And they buried him alive!
His name was John.
John Ralston.
- John Ralston.
- Was he up here when he vanished?
- I looked everywhere for that kid.
Where are you, John?
- You knew where he was buried
and you did nothing to save him.
- I know, we'd go to jail.
I want to make sure he's gone.
I want to make sure no one else finds him
except maybe me.
- You want to find his body, don't you?
- John Ralston was never here.
And no one at Gamma Kappa remembers him.
- My real name is Garrett Ralston.
- Garrett--
- You think we can let them live?
Could we?
Somebody had to put an end
to this barbaric tradition
called initiation.
In my brother's case, it was murder.
They tried to keep it a secret.
They said it was an accident.
It was a murder.
Almost.
I was the only one he told where he was.
I came up here looking for him
when he didn't come back to school.
We found him.
(heartbeat pounding)
(somber music)
He found us.
(heartbeat pounding)
(weighty music)
- Who the heck is we?
- Family.
Blood is blood.
- The cops are gonna be here soon.
- The cops aren't coming, Kevin.
I'm the only one who can help you.
- What about Stacy?
- Stacy is my sister.
No one knows you're here.
No one knows I'm here.
Because we're not even
supposed to be here.
Because initiation is immoral and wrong.
- But I'm your best friend.
- Yeah, you were my best friend.
And I couldn't have made it
through college without you, pal.
This is gonna be hard for me.
Don't make me call Brother Johnny.
(blade whooshing)
- I found a laptop in Shane's room.
I emailed the cops, our
friends at the dorms,
my friends, the dean, everybody.
- You can't run, Kevin.
You can't hide.
I don't believe you about that email.
I know you.
Don't make me enjoy killing you.
I don't want to enjoy this.
I know this place better than you do.
I've been coming up here for three years.
My brother knows this place
like the back of his hand.
He was buried here, remember?
(crazy music)
- I would never hurt your brother.
You know I would never participate
in something like that.
- I know.
You're a good person with strong morals.
Unfortunately, I knew you
wouldn't be part of my revenge.
Murder.
(slicing)
(malicious music)
Which is why you gotta go, pal.
Can't leave any witnesses.
- Look, I told you I sent that email.
You are not gonna get away with this.
- I sent an email too, and it got bounced.
The forest, the trees,
they block all the signals.
I'm not stopping.
I love you, but
blood is thicker than beer.
(chopping)
(Garrett screams)
(dramatic music)
(phone ringing)
- [Dispatcher] 911 emergency.
- Hello?
My name's Kevin, I'm a
student at Whitman College.
Okay, I'm with the Gamma Kappa House,
and there's been murders.
They're all dead.
Okay, I need you guys to
send out the cops right now.
- [Dispatcher] All right, sir, calm down.
Where are you?
(ominous music)
- Okay, they'll be here soon?
- [Dispatcher] The
police are on their way.
Keep your phone on,
because I put a trace on your line
in case you were wrong
about your location.
That way takes much longer.
Can you just hide until the police arrive?
- Yeah, I can hide.
Um, I'll be in the attic, okay?
(frantic music)
(moves into shadowy music)
(heartbeat pounding)
They'll be here soon.
Come on, get here.
(creepy music)
Look, John!
(heartbeat pounding)
(veiled music)
Look, you killed them.
(chopping)
(Garrett screaming)
(slicing)
You got your revenge
against the ones who put
you through initiation,
who buried you alive.
(wrathful music)
I'm glad you killed them.
(chopping)
I'm just a pledge like you were.
I'm innocent.
John, you have to understand.
Initiation's over.
(menacing music)
- No.
(blade squishing)
(John grunts)
(gloomy music)
- That one was for me.
(weighty music)
Everyone's dead, aren't they?
(scary music)
- [Cop] Are you the one
who called the police?
It's okay.
We're here.
It's over.
- Initiation's over.
- [Cop] What happened here?
- They're all dead.
(slicing)
(crazy music)
(Garrett screams)
- [Cop] Who did this?
- He's in the attic.
I killed him.
(squishy stabbing)
He used to be a pledge like me.
- [Cop] We searched the
cabin, the whole area,
and all we're finding
are your dead friends.
There's no one else.
- In the attic, I killed him!
- [Cop] We looked everywhere.
There's nothing in the
attic but lots of blood.
Kevin, is it possible that
you murdered your fraternity brothers?
- No, I'm not a murderer.
- [Cop] Well how else
do you explain all this?
- I killed him, okay.
He killed everyone except for me.
- [Cop] Who, Kevin?
Who?
- John Ralston.
Gamma Kappa.
He's still out there.
(eerie music)
John Ralston.
Gamma Kappa.
He's still out there.
John Ralston.
Gamma Kappa.
He's still out there.
(somber music)
(dramatic music)
(mysterious music)
(haunting music)
(misty music)
