The Fear Footage 2: Curse of the Tape (2020) Movie Script

My name is Daniel Blanch.
I'm in Battsburg, Pennsylvania
and I moved into this apartment
about three weeks ago.
For the past week and a half,
I've been hearin' strange sounds
comin' from these wooded areas
out back of my
apartment building
in the middle of the night.
Now why would anyone or anything
be out here at three and four
in the mornin' makin' sounds?
I mean, there's nothin' out here
except just acres
and acres of woods.
That isn't me.
He looks just like me.
He says he has a
daughter named Sarah.
He says his name's
Daniel Blanch.
That's my name.
But I never filmed
that, that isn't me.
A friend of mine bought that
movie from this website:
thefearfootage.com and
he sent me a message
askin' why I never told him
that I was in this movie
and it's because I'm
not in the movie.
I guess that's where
he bought it from.
This whole thing
is just impossible.
The tape that I'm
on was captured
through a missin' police
officer's body camera footage,
so I'm tryin' to see if
I can find like a company
that was behind the lease
of his body camera footage.
There's nothin' on here.
I've been lookin'
into this all day.
I haven't found much.
I mean, even the details into
the missing deputy are vague.
I don't know
if I should be scared.
I don't know what this is.
The more I think about it,
more I realize how crazy
this whole thing is.
Like I'm on footage
that I never filmed.
It's me.
There's other people on
that tape like myself
that probably don't
even know they're on it.
So it's one in the
morning right now,
I'm gonna get some
sleep and then tomorrow
I'm gonna see if
I can figure out
who these other people are,
see if they know
anything about this.
I did a reverse image
search of the other people
that were on that footage
and I only got one hit
and it was this guy.
His name's James Darven.
He looks exactly like one of
the guys that was on that tape.
He's got some contact
information on his
social media page,
so I'm gonna reach out to him
and see what he
knows about this.
Hello?
Hello, is this James?
Yes, who is this?
Do you know a person
named Jay or Alex?
- I know Alex.
- You do?
Yeah.
Okay, my name
is Daniel Blanch.
We don't know each other.
There's this footage that
I came in contact with
and I think it has you
and your friend Alex
and a guy named Jay.
Were you guys ever in a movie?
Did you ever star
in a horror movie?
I have no clue what
you're talkin' about, man.
It's better if
I just show you.
I'm willing to come to you.
I'll meet you and just
show you this footage.
Would you be okay with that?
I'll give you my email address
and you can contact me
first, so you know I'm not...
I know this is a kind
of a weird situation.
This footage is weird.
It's real.
I'm on it and I didn't
know I was on it.
I think you might be on it and
you're unaware of it as well.
So I've been emailing
back and forth with James
for four days.
I sent him stills of the footage
and he just sent
this email over.
It says, "Yeah, it's
definitely strange.
"I guess we could meet at
Gaspin Park near my house
"if you want to show
me the full video.
"Seems like a long drive
just to show me a video,
"but that's up to you.
"I'm not sure about goin'
to Maryland with you
"to look into this.
"I don't exactly know you and
this is all very confusing.
"It could just be a
prank or sort of mix up.
"I'll send over the address
"if you definitely
want to meet up.
"Lemme know, thanks."
I'm gonna go meet him tomorrow.
He's about three hours from me.
He agrees that's
him on the footage.
I'm gonna show him
the entire footage
and see if he's interested in
headin' down to
Darkbluff, Maryland.
That's where Deputy Leo
Cole's body camera was found
and see if he wants to head
down there and look into this.
So it's 3:15.
James said he would
meet me here at three.
I hope he's still comin'.
I hope I didn't come all
this way for nothin'.
James.
Hey, what's up, Daniel?
Thanks
for comin', man.
Nice to meet you, man.
This is Alex.
- Alex.
Yeah, I recognize
him from the footage.
What's up with
that camera, dude?
Yeah, sorry.
I hope you guys don't mind.
I'm just kinda documentin'
this whole thing.
Man, when we
talked on the phone,
you didn't say nothin'
about a camera though.
Thank you,
guys for comin' to meet me
to look into this.
Yeah.
James, did you
show him any of the stills
from the footage I sent you?
Nah, I briefly talked to
him about some of the stuff.
I haven't shown
him anything yet.
What
about the other guy
in the video with you
two, Jay his name was?
I don't even have
any friends named Jay.
I never met the dude in my life.
- 'Sup, ladies?
- What's up, dude?
Let's go.
'Sup, man?
Fire that laptop up.
- I'm on it.
There's no doubt about this.
Hey, Alex.
It looks just like me.
- Was Carter mad?
He look kinda pissed off.
His name's Alex.
He'll be fine tomorrow.
I'll take care of it.
The other guy's name's James.
He looks just like you.
This could be
one of the biggest chase.
I hope so, man.
I mean, you can't deny it.
- We ain't got shit.
Where the fuck
did you find this?
In 2015, there
was a young girl named Megan
who killed herself and
her family in their house
at 11628 Hangmanor Road
in Darkbluff, Maryland
and the house was
demolished shortly after.
And then a year later, the
anniversary of that incident,
residents on Hangmanor Road
were callin' into the
Darkbluff PD claimin' that
the house that was demolished
mysteriously reappeared.
So there's this
deputy named Leo Cole
who was sent to look into this.
Dude, where the
fuck are you gettin'
all this information from?
Just
listen, just listen.
I know it sounds crazy.
So this deputy shows
up at this house
that is not supposed
to exist anymore.
He goes in, he finds this
diary about this little girl.
And she found this weird
video tape in her bedroom,
she watched it and watching
that tape is what caused her
to kill her family and
that tape that she watched
is the footage
that we're all on.
I know this doesn't
make any sense.
Deputy that went to
look into the house
that reappeared is missing now
and the footage
that you just saw
is shot from his body camera.
If this is about a cop,
wouldn't this be
all over the news?
We woulda heard about this.
- I agree.
- This is nation news.
Apparently
that footage
was like released by
some ex-police officer
at the same department
he worked at.
What, are they just
tryin' to bury this?
It seems
like it's a coverup.
I don't know.
Coverup of what?
How do we know you
didn't make that movie?
You know
I didn't make it
because you're both on it.
How could I have
footage of both of you?
Seriously I mean, you
come here with this movie,
then you stickin' this camera
in our fuckin' face and shit.
No man, get the fuck outta here.
James, let's go, man.
How else do you
explain all the videos?
This must be some
type of scam or somethin'.
How else do you
explain what's on the tape?
It's not us.
Who the hell would scam you?
I don't even know you.
- Alex c'mon, man.
- Alex.
James, c'mon, man.
This dude clearly wants
some money or somethin'.
- I don't want anything!
- Alex.
How else do you
explain what's on the tape, man?
I don't understand.
What could I want from this?
I don't know you guys.
What do I gain?
Look man, just
gimme a minute to talk to him.
I'll see if I can--
Like come on, James.
Dude,
just gimme a minute.
I'm sorry but he's
got a point, man.
I mean you come and
approach us with this shit
talkin' about coverups.
- Look.
I mean this whole
situation's weird, man.
It's weird.
But I mean, you admit
that's you on there.
That's me on there.
I just wanna go look into this.
I feel like--
- I mean I get
yeah, it's me,
it's him on there.
But with technology
nowadays, man,
I don't know what to believe.
I don't feel comfortable
doin' this without him.
I mean I don't know you, man.
I don't know you.
I don't know him.
None of us know each other.
We're all tied by this tape.
Look man, all I
can tell you is good luck.
All right.
Thanks for comin' out, man.
- Bein' out here.
Man, I'm not a
part of this shit.
I'm sorry and I
say good luck, man.
So it's been two days since
I met with James and Alex
and I've decided I'm
gonna go look into this.
It's too strange.
It's too impossible.
And considerin' what
the footage depicts,
it's actually kinda scary.
So I printed out a
map of Darkbluff.
I am packin' my bag.
I took off work and
tomorrow I'm gonna head down
and look into this and
see what everything means.
Hello?
James.
What's up, man?
I know, man.
Me too.
I was gonna head
down there tomorrow.
I was just gonna try
to look into this.
I don't know what
I'm gonna find.
You should, man.
I mean, I would
rather not go alone.
I'm gonna book a hotel tonight.
Probably like two or three days.
Tell me 'bout it.
I probably watched it 100 times.
I mean, literally this
is the craziest thing
that's ever happened
to me in my life.
Come with me, man.
Let's figure this out.
Yeah but you know if you don't,
you're always gonna
wonder about this.
I mean, I know I would.
Yeah.
Seriously?
All right.
Let's do it, man.
I'll text you my address
and you can meet me
here in the morning.
What time works for
you, like eight?
Okay.
Well what about Alex?
You think he'll come?
All right, well it's
me and you, man.
All right, I'll see
you in the mornin'.
All right, bye.
James.
Yeah.
All right,
I'm comin', man.
It's good to see my gate
lockin' device works.
Yeah, nice secure.
Filmin', man?
Yeah, I mean
I wanna document this
whole journey, man.
Is that all right with you?
Yeah.
I mean yeah, it's all right.
I got my stuff in the
truck, should I grab it?
Nah, you could
leave it in there.
Come on in real quick.
I wanna hit the road
before the traffic,
so I'm gonna finish packin' up.
Good to see you again, man.
Thanks.
And you can get anything
you want outta the fridge.
All right, thanks, man.
I gotta put a few
more things in my bag.
I'll be right back out.
I'm actually good though.
I had a coffee and
like a small sandwich
before I came over, man.
- All right.
I'm all right.
How crazy is
this whole thing, man?
It's pretty crazy, man.
I mean.
I'm glad you
reached back out to me.
I mean I know we don't
know each other that well,
but somehow this
tape knew both of us.
Yeah, I mean the whole
situation creeped me out.
I wanna get a
better understanding
of what the hell's goin'
on and why I'm in it.
Yeah, I don't know
what to expect from all of this,
but thanks for
comin' along, man.
What hotel are we stayin'
at when we get there?
I actually couldn't
find any hotels.
This is like a pretty
small rural town.
There's not many options.
But remember how I told
you about that young girl
on Hangmanor Road in
Darkbluff, Maryland,
who killed her family after
watching the tape we're on?
Yeah, that's somethin'
you don't forget.
Yeah, I remember.
So I did some research and
I don't think that
house on Hangmanor Road
is the first place
this tape has been.
I found a cabin in Darkbluff
where a similar
incident took place
and I've reached out to
the lady who rents it.
She's gonna let us stay there.
If this tape has already
been at this cabin,
somehow it's already connected.
It's already appeared there.
I get the process.
I understand that.
But that don't
creep you out, dude?
I'm willin' to
do whatever it is
to figure out how
I'm on this tape.
Are you okay with stayin'
there before we head out?
I don't want you to feel
uncomfortable about this.
I mean, yeah I'm good.
And look, man.
If you feel uncomfortable
at any point, let me know.
We will leave.
Maryland welcomes us.
We're headin'
over to Darkbluff
to look into the murder
suicide on Hangmanor Road.
Okay.
Do you
know about that?
Yeah, I remember
when it happened.
Do you know about
the VHS tape that she watched
that was the reason
for doin' what she did?
VHS tape?
Yeah.
I thought she did
it because her parents
were tryin' to keep her from
seein' some boy or somethin'.
Really?
You said Darkbluff
is a strange town.
What do you mean?
- Well, I mean
fog randomly moves in and out.
Of the town?
It seems like it's
thunderin' all the time.
Really?
I don't know, it's just
a strange little town.
- I guess--
- Wow.
This
is that random fog
that lady was talkin' about.
That shit
came outta nowhere.
Yeah, as soon
as we hit Darkbluff.
It's kinda creepy.
Thought she was bullshittin'.
Maybe there is
something strange goin' on
in this little town.
That almost felt
like the appropriate way
to begin this weird
ass adventure.
It's movin' out now.
Cabin should be at
the end of this road.
Should be.
Here we are.
This place is hidden.
Yeah, that's why I
was sayin' I wanted to drive.
Got everything?
Is that the
cabin right there?
Nah, this is
the cabin right here.
That's like a garage they
used for storage or somethin'.
They got a pool?
Huh?
Yeah.
The lockbox
have a key in it
or do you have the key on you?
Nah, the owner said
the door will be unlocked.
Unlocked?
That's what she said.
It's a lot
nicer than I expected.
Yeah.
Look at this view.
How did
you find this place?
I just did some
research into the town
and read about
what happened here.
I knew it had to be
connected somehow.
So what's the room
situation gonna be like?
I don't
know if you notice, but
I didn't see a TV out there.
Yeah, I noticed.
I'll take this room.
Does that work for you?
I'm not gettin' any
signal on my phone
anywhere in here, dude.
Yeah, I
meant to mention that.
I mean we're on 70
acres of forest.
But I got a hotspot on my phone.
I'll give you the
password later.
Just remind me.
All the
clocks are wrong.
Yeah, I don't.
It's very isolated out here,
actually more so than I even
thought it was gonna be.
Oh.
What the hell?
That a crow?
Okay.
This is the Gallow Creek Cabin
in Darkbluff, Maryland.
Hey, James.
Yeah.
I'm gonna start
puttin' some of this stuff
in the fridge.
You mind if I put some
of your waters in?
Yeah, that's fine.
Put the lunch meat
in there too, please.
Figured it can
start to get cold.
Daniel.
Now that we're here,
I mean we're both tryin'
to figure this out.
I need to know
what happened here.
In this cabin?
Yeah.
So there was a lady named
Rose who rented this property
for a number of years.
She ran a daycare outta here.
She also gave piano lessons
to a lot of the
kids she watched.
She had like two or
three kids of her own
that lived here with her.
And in October of
'96, she was watchin'
I think three or four kids
plus her own were here
and she closed all the
windows in the cabin
and removed the exhaust pipe
on the hot water heater,
releasing carbon monoxide in
here, killin' all the kids.
She then went down to the pool
out back and drowned herself.
And she left some
note talkin' about
some videotape she watched
that made her do this.
And I know it sounds crazy,
but I think that's the
videotape we're on,
the one she watched.
I don't understand
where this tape came from.
It just feels like it
appeared outta nowhere.
That's what we're
here to find out.
Just try to talk
to a few people,
see what they know about this.
Excuse me, sir.
Can I help you.
Hi, my name is Daniel.
How you doin'?
I'm Jack.
Nice to meet
you; this is James.
We're in Darkbluff
lookin' into an incident
that took place here in
2015 on Hangmanor Road.
Do you know anything about that?
I guess you're
talkin' about that girl
that killed herself
and her family.
- Yeah.
- I think her name was Megan.
Yeah, I actually went
to school with Megan.
I mean we weren't close
or anything like that.
She wasn't there that long.
There was somethin'
about she put on
her dad's record player
and put some vintage music
on before she did it.
I actually don't
know much about it.
Okay.
I remember hearing
that she put their bodies
in the closets of the house
or something like that.
So Megan turned
on her dad's record player
before she killed her family?
Had it playing in
the house during?
Hey man, it's
pretty creepy shit.
Do you
know why she did it?
Her parents were abusing
her or something like that.
That's what I heard.
Do you
know why she did it?
Honestly, I have no clue.
Did they ever release that?
I just assumed crazy
people do crazy things.
Do you know
about the VHS tape
that Megan found in her
house that was the reason
for doin' what she did?
VHS tape?
She wrote in
her diary that this tape
was the reason she
killed her family.
Does remind me of a
babysitter I once had.
She told us about
this cursed tape
that would somehow appear.
You didn't know where,
you didn't know why.
Really?
But you had this
uncontrollable urge to watch it.
It's said once you watched
it, it kinda got in your head.
Why would a tape
make her do that?
And the scary part was that
if you saw yourself on the tape.
Yeah.
Supposedly,
you're already dead.
Oh,
you're already dead?
I remember this kid named
Zack I went to high school with.
He was into ghost hunting
and stuff like that.
He was obsessed with it.
After the house got demolished,
him and a couple friends
used to go down there at like
3:00 a.m. and perform seances
and stuff like that.
Why would they
go down at 3:00 a.m.?
Supposedly, that's the time
when Megan killed her family.
Where did
she hear this story at?
I don't know.
She was probably just
makin' it all up.
She used to try to
scare us all the time.
So how can I
get in contact with her
to talk with her about this?
I don't know, man.
I was 10 years old.
- Okay.
- I don't even
remember her name.
What about Leo Cole,
the deputy that went missing
from down here?
What do you know about that?
He ran away with some
mistress I thought.
I've never really
heard of that.
I don't really watch
the news that much.
So you never
saw the body camera footage
from the night he disappeared?
No, this is the first
I'm hearing about this.
Really?
Where did you guys
get this information?
I see his wife around
town every now and then.
Why don't you guys
go and contact her?
- Hello.
- Hello, ma'am.
Is this Nancy Cole?
Who's calling?
My name is Daniel Blanch.
I'm here with my friend, James.
We're in Darkbluff lookin' into
the disappearance of Leo Cole.
Was he your husband?
I'm sorry, I gotta go.
Ma'am?
That's gotta be her.
- James.
- Yeah.
Hey
man, look at this.
Look at this.
This is from the
missin' deputy's wife.
Now she wants to talk?
I guess so.
So how far does it look?
Did you find it on the map?
It doesn't look like
it's that far from us.
- Okay.
- But,
it looks like its a dead end.
What time is it?
She said meet there at 11.
It's 9:30 now.
All right.
She's gonna come, man.
Why would she set
this up and not come?
I'm just sayin'.
There's lights,
there's lights.
You think that's her?
It's gotta be her.
Keep the camera down,
put the camera down.
I am, I am.
I got it; man, relax.
She was already
sketchy on the phone.
I don't want her to
see we're filmin' her.
You think she's
gonna get in the truck?
- Put the camera down.
- I am, it's down.
Keep it down.
What is she doin'?
She's
about to get out.
Just act cool.
I don't want her to
know we're filmin' her.
- All right.
- She could give us
some information here.
She's comin' over to the truck.
Here she comes, here she comes.
I'll keep it down.
Nancy, thank
you for meetin' with us.
Who are you guys?
I'm
Daniel, this is James.
We're lookin' into your
husband's disappearance.
On the night he disappeared--
Look I don't
need you lookin' into this.
- Let me explain.
- My husband disappeared
and I was given no answers.
Yeah, but do you
know what happened to him?
I've no clue
what happened to him.
At this point, I'm not
even sure I wanna know.
It leaves me a
little bit of hope.
- Look--
- Whatever you guys
are tryin' to find, stop.
I don't have much information,
but there is something
strange goin' on here.
We know.
That's why we're here.
Look, on the night your
husband disappeared,
he watched a
videotape and we're--
Listen.
I don't know you
guys and I don't know
what you're talking about,
but you need to go back
to wherever you came from
and leave this alone.
Goodbye.
- Nancy.
- Don't contact me again.
Do you know about
the tape your husband watched
on the night he vanished?
What
the hell was that?
A waste of time.
She was scared of somethin'.
I feel like I
should be scared or somethin'.
She had to be overreactin'.
I was just thinkin' how crazy
this whole situation is.
I know you probably
thought I was crazy
when I reached out
to you and you know,
I appreciate you comin' on
this strange journey with me
to look into this.
I'm glad you're as
interested in this as I am.
Doesn't make sense.
What do you do for a livin'?
I'm a student right now.
I do odd jobs just
to make it by.
What are you studyin'?
- Mechanical engineering.
- Oh, nice.
Yeah, it's good
to learn a trade.
How 'bout yourself?
I'm workin' at a furniture
moving company right now.
It's kinda whack.
It doesn't pay great, but
you know, it's a job for now.
Yeah, I've been there.
You know, I really wanna
do like documentaries
or somethin' in that field.
- Explains the camera.
- Exactly.
You married, you got kids?
No, I'm just playin' the
field, livin' the single life.
I hear ya.
And yourself?
Yeah, I got a daughter, Sarah.
And me and her mother are
on and off; off right now.
Was that the same
name on the tape, Sarah?
Yeah.
See, that's the most
interesting part of it to me
is that certain aspects
of it were accurate.
You know what I mean?
My daughter was on it.
Her name's Sarah, her
name was Sarah on there.
Yeah and my version that
I was on, Alex was there,
my truck was there.
Exactly, it's like
certain pieces match up.
So whoever
is responsible has
to maybe know us.
I don't know.
I know it doesn't
make sense, man.
Anyway, I'm gonna head
in before this rain hits.
You stayin' out here?
Yeah, I'm gonna
finish my drink up.
I'll head in after.
All right, man.
I'll see you in the mornin'.
All right goodnight, man.
Daniel, you left
this thing outside.
It coulda got rained on, man.
Hello?
Oh shit, I hope it's not a bear.
Is somebody out there?
James.
Daniel?
Hello?
If you're messin' with me, man.
This ain't cool.
James.
James.
Who are you?
James!
James?
James, you still out here?
James?
James?
James!
We can't leave.
James?
We can't leave.
James.
- We can't leave.
- James!
We can't leave.
- James!
- We can't leave.
[gasps] James.
What're you doing?
James, what the
fuck are you doin', man?
Are you all right?
Where are we?
Come on, man.
Let's go out.
Come on.
How'd we get down here?
Come on, man.
Let's go back up.
Are you okay?
Hey.
Hey dude, what's up?
Feelin' all right?
I got
a headache, man.
I can't find my glasses
anywhere either.
I don't know what the
hell I did with them.
I mean maybe they could
be outside or somethin'.
The hell happened last night?
I had a problem as a kid, man.
I used to sleepwalk and
it's been like 20 years
since it happened, but my
parents actually found me
in the woods one time.
I was missin' for a day.
Sleepwalkin'?
Yeah, I just woke up in
the middle of the woods.
I panicked, I was
like 10 years old.
I had no clue where anybody was.
They had to send out rescue
dogs and search dogs to find me
and I really haven't had
a problem since then.
They gave me
medication to stay on
to help me with the
whole situation.
You know, I don't
really remember
everything that
happened last night.
I just remember you
standin' in front of me
askin' me if I was all right.
Yeah, I went out
to find the camera
'cause I didn't know
where I left it.
I saw the light shining.
I'm sorry if it's an
inconvenience for you.
I mean.
No, you're all right, man.
You feelin' all right?
He was standing like right
there, so the glasses should...
Ooh.
Damn.
I guess that little
fucker wasn't dead.
What was James knockin' on
this door for last night?
What the hell is that?
Christmas tree.
It's kinda odd.
He said he hasn't
sleptwalk in 20 years
and it just picks up all of
a sudden once we get here?
I think there might
be more to it.
Maybe somethin' to
do with this tape.
I don't know how far
down he went last night.
There's no way he came
all the way down here.
It would've been pitch black.
That's as far down
as the land goes.
Shit.
Hello.
Hey.
I can't this weekend.
I'm away lookin' into
somethin' right now.
You wouldn't understand.
No Kate, I'm not.
It's something strange
that I discovered.
I honestly don't even
know what it means yet.
Lemme talk to her.
Hey, sweetheart.
So I'm away this
weekend workin', okay?
But I'll be back on
Tuesday and I'll get you.
We can go roller skatin'
if the weather's good.
Okay, I love you.
See you soon.
Okay, bye.
Damn, not anywhere, man?
Nah, I didn't see
'em down there at all.
It started to rain
while I was down there.
Fuck!
Who are you callin'?
I'm callin' a guy
named Steven Ritz.
He was the mayor of
Darkbluff when the incident
on Hangmanor Road happened.
Your
call has been forwarded--
And now he's not gonna answer.
I'll call him again.
Hello?
Hello, is this Steven Ritz?
Uh, who is this?
Were you the mayor of
Darkbluff, Maryland, in 2016?
Uh, who is this?
My name is Daniel.
I'm lookin' into
the disappearance
of Deputy Leo Cole.
More specifically,
the tape he watched
the night he vanished.
Look, I don't know
what you're talkin' about.
Okay, so what about
the murder/suicide
on Hangmanor Road?
You know anything about that?
What
is this all about?
Who are you?
Mr. Ritz,
the tape that little girl
watched the night she
killed her family,
I'm on that tape.
The tape Deputy Leo Cole
watched the night he vanished,
that's the same
tape; I'm on that.
I know this sounds crazy.
Don't call
this number again.
Goodbye.
Mr. Ritz?
What the hell are they hidin'?
What do people do
in a town like this?
You mean besides
cover up disappearances?
I don't know, man.
I mean there was no
bar, no strip club.
Not even a town carnival.
Yeah, I don't plan on bein'
here long enough to find out.
We get in here, try to figure
this out and we can leave.
What if we don't
figure it out?
All right, man.
I'm gonna head to
bed, all right?
All right, man.
Good second day.
Hey, no weird
sleepwalkin' tonight.
Real fuckin' funny.
I don't know what happened
to James last night.
It was like he was in like
a trance or somethin'.
I don't know if it has
anything to do with
this tape, this cabin.
I knew comin' here
things could get weird.
I was prepared.
I believe in this stuff.
I believe there's somethin'
really strange goin' on here.
I don't know how he feels.
But no matter how strange
it gets, I'm not scared.
I want answers.
I've become obsessed with this.
It was loud as shit.
It woke me up.
They're lookin' for somebody.
Well hopefully,
they find [drowned out by
helicopter blades whirring].
All right.
I thought I heard a piano.
There it is again.
What the?
James?
James, what're you
sleepwalkin' again?
Damn.
What're you doin' man?
- James?
- It's three in the mornin'
and you're playin' piano?
What the?
Sorry man, I couldn't sleep.
I'm gonna head back to bed.
Sorry.
Try to get some sleep, man.
Just do me a favor and
just whatever you're doin',
just hold off 'til tomorrow.
All right, man.
What the fuck?
What was that?
Holy shit.
Okay, okay.
I guess you're
tryin' to contact us.
We're just tryin' to figure out
how we're connected
to all of this.
Figure out what this tape means.
We don't mean any disrespect.
What?
We just wanna figure
out how we're connected.
None of this makes any sense.
What are you still
doin' out here?
I'm sorry, man.
I thought I heard a noise.
I just came back.
You bein' up all night is
kinda freakin' me out, man.
- I know, man.
- I don't like it.
I'm headin' back to bed.
What the fuck?
Holy shit, holy shit.
Oh my god.
So I thought that
piano riff that James
or whoever that was at
the piano last night
was playing sounded
familiar and I was right.
This is Deputy Leo Cole on
the house on Hangmanor Road
the night he watched that tape.
Listen.
It's the same exact tune.
I don't know what this means.
There's no way that's
just a coincidence.
I can't tell James about
last night just yet.
I don't wanna scare him
too soon without bein' able
to at least explain
what this all means.
I should've never even told him
about what happened
in this cabin.
I guess I figured last
night must've been Rose,
the lady who drowned
herself in the pool here.
I could've sworn
when I was sleeping,
I felt cold fingers like
runnin' down my face.
I don't know.
I'm gonna
wait out in the truck.
Okay man, I'm comin'.
What were
you doin' last night?
All that noise out there.
- I couldn't sleep, man.
- Playin' the piano?
Sorry about that.
I was just up
tryin' to figure out
what we're gonna do today.
So what are we doin'?
So from
everything I gathered,
the house on Hangmanor Road
is the last place
this tape was at.
And you're positive
this is where the
house was sittin' at?
This was
11628 Hangmanor Road.
They tore it down in 2015.
I think it was
like the day after
Megan killed her family in it.
It's like they were just
tryin' to get rid of it.
So if they
demolished this house,
then why didn't they demolish
the cabin we're stayin' in?
That's
a great question.
This is the last place
that the tape was,
so I figure find the
house, find the tape.
How do you find a
house that doesn't exist?
Deputy Leo Cole did.
I'm not gettin'
anything on my GPS.
It's not on there at all.
It's like they
don't even want it to be found.
What?
The neighbor say on the tape
that it appeared at night.
Maybe it only appears at night.
I mean he
did call in at night.
- Lookin' for what?
- Anything.
I mean something that
proves Deputy Leo Cole
was here that night.
James, you see
anything over there?
James?
James!
James.
We can't leave.
What?
James you all right, dude?
Yeah, I'm good man.
I don't see anything over here.
There's nothin' over here.
Dude, you sure?
I kinda got a headache, man.
Can we get outta here?
All right.
Yeah, I'm
feelin' better, man.
Good.
I just opened up
all the windows.
We can get some
fresh air in here.
James, so in the 143 years
that Darkbluff has existed,
there's been eight incidences
similar to what happened here
and on Hangmanor Road.
Like, all of 'em are
like murder suicide-type.
Where's that Darkbluff map at?
So the first incident
was here in 1980.
Second was here in '84.
Third one was here in '87.
Fourth one was here in '90.
Fifth one was here in '93.
The sixth one was here at
the cabin we're at in 1996.
The seventh was here in 2007
and the eighth was here,
what Megan did on
Hangmanor Road in 2015.
Think they
all seen the tape?
No.
How is that even possible?
Wait a sec.
So first
to second.
Third.
- What are you doin'?
To fourth.
Fifth
to sixth.
Seventh.
- What the fuck?
To eighth.
I knew this looked familiar.
Look, that's from the footage
you were in on that tape.
Holy shit.
It's the same symbol.
How's this connected?
Well what
about the bottom piece?
Bottom piece.
It looks like it goes
from the cabin we're at
to the house on Hangmanor Road.
The hell does that mean?
Well what's
that center piece?
That's the
Autumn Woods Cemetery.
What?
Come here, you
gotta look at this.
What is it?
- Watch.
- Investigation continues
in a chilling grave robbery:
The remains of woman
stolen sometime last week.
The whole
is perfectly rectangular.
5 1/2 feet deep.
The dirt left in neat
piles to either side.
It appears that someone
had taken the body.
Especially
in a century's old town plot
with so many memories.
It's a very
well-visited cemetery.
You know, it's the main
cemetery for this town.
With
motive or even reasoning
still unanswered by police,
it's an act that remains
to many a mystery.
Anyone with information
on who dug up this grave
is asked to call police.
What was that?
That's the Autumn
Woods Cemetery.
What?
You know what we gotta do.
So what
does all this mean?
I don't know.
I mean, this tape just
mysteriously appears
in someone's house.
Yeah?
They kill their
families, kill themselves,
then they're all buried
in Autumn Woods Cemetery.
Then someone or something
comes and exhumes their bodies.
This is fuckin' crazy.
It's like the tape
is just used as a way
to get people to the cemetery.
How do we know
it's not also used as a way
to get people to
Darkbluff like us?
We're gonna
have to turn the light off
on the camera.
Put the night vision setting on.
We'll get in here, look
around, we'll get out.
I'm not goin' in.
What?
I'm not goin' in, man.
The hell you talkin' about?
That's what we're here for.
No, that's what
you're here for, not me.
James, this could
connect everything.
Yeah, it could.
We have to go in there.
Or it could just
be us wandering around
the fuckin' cemetery in
the middle of the night.
You're gonna make me
go in there by myself.
That's up to you.
Unbelievable.
Gimme the goddamn camera.
I can't see shit.
Where's the night
vision setting?
I don't even know
what I'm lookin' for.
Somethin' in here
has to be related.
There's gotta be somethin'.
I don't see any open graves.
I don't know how big
this cemetery is.
I don't see shit in here.
Lemme head back.
Which way did I come in?
I think I came in to the left.
What the hell was that?
How the fuck do
I get outta here?
There has to [speaks faintly].
I came in over there.
Is that a house?
What?
Why's there a house
in a cemetery?
Hello?
Serious?
Is anyone down there?
Shit.
James?
James?
Hello?
James, can you hear me?
Daniel.
Yeah.
What're you doin'?
What?
I'm in the cemetery.
I found an abandoned
house back in here.
I'm lookin' around to see
if I can find anything.
See if
you could find us.
What?
James?
Hello?
James.
Oh shit.
What?
What the fuck?
Oh shit.
What happened?
Nothin'.
I didn't see anything, man.
I didn't find anything.
Did you call my phone
while I was in there?
No.
I don't even have
my phone on me.
Why?
Nothin', man.
I thought I heard it ring.
I just wanna get back
and get some sleep.
I'm sorry 'bout this.
So you
didn't see anything?
No, it was
another dead end, man.
Waste of fuckin' time.
Hopefully within
the next 24 hours,
this all starts to make sense.
It all starts to
connect somehow.
I mean I knew comin' here
that we may not get answers,
but now I can accept that.
I mean as scared as I
am, I gotta finish this.
Sounded like the pool
cover was opening.
There it is again.
James?
Whatever that was, it's close.
The hell?
Is that water?
What the?
Is that footprints?
This can't be from the pool.
Hello?
What is goin' on here?
Hello!
What the fuck?
[Daniel coughing and
breathing heavily
Oh shit.
You were on that tape.
[breathes
heavily] What's goin' on?
- Jesus Christ, man.
- James.
What the fuck are you
doin' out here, screwing?
I thought
somethin' was leakin'.
I went to check and
I heard a noise.
There's nothin' out here, man.
C'mon, let's go back in.
Heard what?
Every night, you're
hearin' stuff.
Dude, what the fuck is goin' on?
I don't know, man.
Maybe I'm just a little on edge.
Dude, there's water
all in the house.
I know.
It had to be the rain.
I'll clean it up.
Wonderin' what
the fuck's goin' on.
Nothin', man.
I'm just tryin' to
document everything.
I don't know what's goin' on
with you the last two nights.
- No, I know.
- You're just tryin'
to freak me out with
this every night, dude.
I know.
I was just on edge
from last night.
I'm sorry, man.
I'm goin' back to bed.
Will you just put the camera
down and let's go to sleep?
Jesus Christ.
I just don't wanna
be on camera today.
What?
I didn't fuckin'
come here for that.
Your problem?
- My problem?
- Yeah.
Dude, you got
us goin' to cemeteries
in the middle of the night.
I mean, you're roamin'
around at night.
I don't know what the
fuck you're doin'.
Me?
What about you?
You're down in the
basement at three a.m.
You're knockin' on some
door in the corner.
I felt real comfortable.
We already
discussed that.
Okay.
I thought you'd
be more prepared than this
when we came on this trip.
More prepared, how?
I mean, we're
wanderin' around aimlessly.
I'm getting no answers.
I could've fuckin'
stayed at home for this.
Look, we
came here together.
I mean it's not every day
that I visit small towns
investigatin'
mysterious video tapes
that show me being murdered on.
- So let's be real.
- Yeah?
Why'd you put
that bell up out front?
What was that about?
What?
We're in a forest.
There's bears.
There's bears.
Yeah.
We'll be able to hear if
somethin' comes up on the porch.
Oh, so we've
been here four days now.
And four days, you're
just now settin' this up.
You sure it had nothin' to do
with your water from
the pool last night?
Lookin' around all
scared, actin' all weird.
What?
Dude, I
know there's somethin'
you're not tellin' me.
Okay, so I've seen
some strange stuff last week.
Strange?
Strange like what?
Isn't that
what we're here for?
I knew I shouldn't
have fuckin' stayed here.
Look, there's
nothing to worry about.
Why are you acting this way?
Dude,
you're unbelievable.
Are you kiddin' me right now?
Look, we barely got anything
to eat in the fridge
and you know, I need
gas in the truck.
I need time to think.
I need air.
You film your little
fuckin' movie.
I'm gettin' outta
here for a while.
What, you're
just gonna leave?
James.
James!
Fuck!
Well, he actually left
and I can't find my phone.
It's probably in his truck.
I can't
call him or anyone.
I don't know what he's
expecting comin' here.
Ooh, another one of these crows?
It's 7:45 and James
still isn't back.
I hope he didn't strand me here.
I looked all over the cabin.
I can't find my phone anywhere.
This is absolutely crazy.
If he's not here
in another hour,
I'm gonna have to walk
into town in the dark.
And
you're still comin'.
Well
where did you go?
I mean, you just
stranded me here.
You told me you saw somethin'.
Okay?
And you just
wanna ignore that?
I didn't tell you
'cause I figured
you would overreact
exactly like you're
doin' right now.
This is ridiculous.
Look at all the obvious signs
since we've been here.
Somethin' isn't right.
- Listen.
We should
fuckin' go home.
Go home?
James, we're this close.
This close to what?
Look, give
it until the mornin'
so we could at least see when
we're packin' all of our shit.
I will give
you one more night.
- One more night.
- One more night.
- All right, that's it.
- I'm packin' my stuff.
I'm done.
- All right.
I'm done, I don't care.
Fuck.
James.
James.
- What?
There's
somethin' outside.
I could hear the bell.
- Darkbluff.
- The electricity's out too.
Do you hear it?
- Is that an animal?
- Darkbluff.
- I don't know what it is.
- Darkbluff.
Is there anybody here?
It's pitch black.
You see anything?
I can't see
anything out here.
- Darkbluff.
- You hear that?
Is
there anybody here?
Darkbluff Police Department.
Is there anybody here?
Hello?
Darkbluff
Police Department.
Looks like a cop.
What does he want?
I don't know,
he's just standin' there.
- Darkbluff Police Department.
- Can I help you?
- Is there anybody here?
- Daniel, I'm fuckin' scared.
Are you here
because the electricity's out?
- Darkbluff Police Department.
- What is he doin'?
He's just standin'
facin' the woods.
He's sayin' somethin'.
- Darkbluff Police Department.
Do you think it's
that cop that went missin'?
- Huh?
- Is there anybody here?
Oh shit.
Daniel, what was that?
Daniel, talk to me.
Tell me, what was that?
What the fuck?
What the?
Dude, please tell me.
I don't know.
I don't know, I don't.
What did you see?
We can't go now.
We're this close.
Dude look, I'm scared.
I know you're scared.
I'm this close to
leaving your ass.
Listen, listen.
Go in there and start
packing your stuff.
I leavin' regardless.
I don't care.
- Listen, listen.
I don't care anymore.
Move, move.
- Dude.
Get outta my way.
We could either
find out what happened
or we could run.
You wanna run.
I'm not staying
here any longer.
- What about the tape?
- I don't care.
I don't care about
these fuckin' tapes.
This closer
to truth, please.
The truth.
There's no electricity.
We have no electricity.
I can't
finish this without you.
I'm done.
I'm done with this shit.
I'll be in the truck.
- James.
- Pack your shit, dude
or I'm leaving you.
All right, gimme a second.
Let me pack my stuff.
We'll never know what
this tape means now.
You're still talkin'
about that fuckin' tape?
Do you even realize
what happened?
We should've never
fuckin' came here.
I can't see shit without my
glasses on these dark-ass roads.
You're gonna have to drive, man.
I gotta
find this tape.
I gotta find this house.
Where the fuck is this house?
It's almost three a.m.
What the fuck?
James, James,
we're this close.
James.
- Dude,
what the fuck are
doin' back here?
James,
it's three a.m.
Give it a second.
Maybe this is when
the house appears.
Gimme my fuckin' keys now.
- Listen, listen.
- Give me my fuckin' keys.
- We're this close.
- Gimme my fuckin' keys.
- We're this close.
- My truck.
Gimme.
What the
hell's wrong with you?
Just gimme
my goddamn keys!
Get off of me.
Get off of me!
James.
James.
- I'm so over this shit.
- Oh, shit.
- I just wanna leave!
James.
James, look!
What?
It's the house.
Holy shit.
Daniel.
- James, it's the house.
Please don't
go in there, man.
Please, let's just
get outta here.
I don't wanna go in.
Please, let's go.
I told
you we'd find it.
Daniel.
Daniel.
Daniel, this is crazy.
Come on.
James,
I'm gettin' the tape.
Daniel!
Daniel, please don't
leave me out here.
Man, c'mon.
Please let's go.
- Do you think?
- Daniel!
Hello?
Dammit.
Daniel.
There's the door.
Let's try this.
Hello?
Is anyone in here?
Hello?
Look, I know what happened
in here and I'm sorry.
I just wanna get that
tape and then I'll leave.
Please.
Darkbluff Police
Department, come out now!
Leo Cole?
Deputy Cole?
Deputy Leo Cole?
Hello?
Hello?
Ooh no,
this can't be.
I wonder why
I'm always alone
Who's over there?
All the time
And what's the the
problem about me
Hope that I'll find the mate
But it just seems like fate
To have a man
among thee love me
What the fuck?
Who's there?
James was right.
I should've never came in here.
Oh no, no no no.
How do I get outta here?
Help!
Ooh, no.
Deputy Leo Cole.
Help!
What is goin' on,
what is goin' on?
I gotta get outta here.
Aw, shit.
Oh shit.
Why did I come in here?
Oh fuck.
No no no!
- Run!
Oh god.
Hello.
Hello?
Where are you?
Hello?
Oh shit.
No, fuck.
Please.
Oh shit.
Help!
Oh fuck.
Cryin' like a
raindrop in a cloud
James?
James!
Whenever I am here
- James.
I wanna believe I'm here
James!
James, what are you doin'?
C'mon, man.
We gotta try to find
a way outta here.
Leave here, leave.
James!
James?
Daniel.
[gasps] James?
James.
Daniel.
James,
what are you doin'?
The tape's in here.
What?
Come on in.
James,
we gotta leave.
Daniel!
Oh, oh shit.
What the fuck?
How do I get outta here?
No.
No.
Come on.
Aw, shit.
No no no!
Go under the bed.
I'll go under the bed.
I can hear you.
Okay please, please.
Please listen, listen.
Look, I'm leavin'.
I'm leavin', I'm sorry.
Somebody help!
Daniel.
Please,
please, please.
Please, I'll leave.
I swear.
Oh, oh.
You
cannot
leave!
Where's the camera?
I got out.
Daddy?
Sarah?
Where have you been?
What?
I was calling
you through the window.
This isn't real.
You never came.
And you're
talkin' about that tape.
You never came.
You're not real.
You're part of this house.
Where'd the house go?
What house,
daddy?
