The North Witch (2024) Movie Script
1
- I've never
met anyone like you.
You have zero boundaries.
Look, Maddie, it's
not an attack on you.
The point is this just isn't
a good living arrangement
for us anymore.
Maybe you'd be better off
finding a studio place,
just somewhere you can
like clear your head,
figure some things out.
This doesn't need to be a
negative thing, you know?
I think being alone for a
little could really be good
for someone like you.
- We need you
out by the end of the month.
- Hey. Yeah. I, I know,
it's been a while.
What's wrong?
I'm sorry. That's,
that's terrible.
Tomorrow? I'm, I'm actually
not gonna be here tomorrow.
I'm going on a trip
with some friends.
Oh, Maddie, it's, it's
gonna be a pretty rough one.
Of course.
Yeah, yeah. Of course you can.
- Dr. Moranda,
can you explain quickly
exactly what is
The Barren Cabin?
- Sure,
The Barren Cabin
is analogous to say Bigfoot
or the Loch Ness Monster,
only in this case, we're not
talking about a creature,
we're talking about a place
- Last call for gummy worms
- Was presumed to exist...
- You ate that
entire bag already?
- Truly documented...
- Hey, Gemma.
You told your friend to
bring her own food, right?
- Be nice, Alice.
I brought extra.
- You sure she'll
be able to keep up?
- Yeah, yeah. She'll,
she'll be fine.
- For four days in the
freezing cold with no service?
Yeah.
- Ah,
the cabin gets its name
from its location,
purported to be
in the desolate
Canadian Barren Lands.
- Hey, hope you weren't
waiting too long.
- It's fine. Hi.
- Hey, I am Laura.
- Alice.
- Talia.
- I'm Madison. Hi.
- Come on in.
Here.
- Thanks.
- So how are you?
How was the bus?
- So, it was great.
It's so good to see you again.
- You too.
- Now, listen to this one.
"The exact location of The
Barren House remains unknown,
but according to the police
reports, the coordinates used
by the missing persons
were all the same."
- Ooh.
- Wooing.
- The owners
of The Barren Cabin,
the Blackwell family, Jacob,
Mary, and their two children.
The father, Jacob,
goes into town
to sell his fur once a month.
Then one month, doesn't
show up. What happened?
- They,
ah, unfortunately find
the entire family, ah,
dead save for Mary,
who is horribly
mutilated and deranged.
Ah, before authorities could
even be called to the scene,
the cabin is set ablaze.
To this day, ah, that is
the last known sighting
of The Barren Cabin.
- Um, I should
mention that part of the reason
that we're covering this, ah,
YouTuber and friend of ours
named Jake Levinson, actually
was covering the topic
on his channel and actually
went looking for it.
Um, and unfortunately
after leaving,
has been missing for now
the past three months.
There have been over 40 missing
cases in that general area
over the past 20 years.
Can you explain at
all why so many people
have gone missing in
that general region?
- As
for, ah, Jake Levinson,
ah, my heart goes
out to his family,
and we, ah, all pray
for his safe return.
Wish I could explain, ah,
with any degree of certainty,
but, ah, The Barren Lands are
an incredibly desolate area,
and I can imagine it would
be very easy for someone
to get turned around,
ah, while exploring.
- I really think
it's a magnetic thing,
like what people say about
the Bermuda Triangle.
Somewhere where a compass
points to true north
instead of magnetic north.
I mean, the missing hikers
could've just gotten lost.
- I don't know, I feel
like if it was that simple,
one of the hikers
would've made it back.
There was the wormhole
theory, my personal favorite.
- Hanging in there?
- I don't know, I
feel like it has to be
something a little
more sinister.
- That's because you
watch scary shit all the time.
- I'm serious.
Oof, cramps? I got ya.
- Thanks. Be right back.
- How you holding up?
- Dying.
- I'm really sorry
about what happened.
- It's just that it
was so outta nowhere, you know?
Like, "Hey, by the way,
we hated you this
whole time, get out."
- That's horrible.
- Just don't know why
this same pattern keeps
just repeating
with me, you know?
God, I have the worst
instincts picking friends.
I'm still here.
- I know. I really appreciate
you letting me stay with you.
- Yeah, of course, you just
need to get back on your feet,
and I'm sure it won't take long.
But not that I'm rushing you.
- Glad we're hanging out
again. Really missed you.
- Just been so busy.
- Guys!
- What the hell?
- Don't touch it.
- What do you think it means?
- Maybe
some kind of ritual.
- For what?
- Maybe
we should head back.
- What?
- Well, well,
it's just, this is weird.
- The whole point of
the trip is weird.
- Yeah, but this seems
like kind of a warning.
I mean, Gemma.
Seriously?
- Hold up.
- And I think we're here.
- Don't tell me we came
all this way for nothing.
- So if Barren House
was that easy to locate,
someone would've
found it years ago.
- They did and then
they disappeared.
So much for your
magnetic theory.
- Are you sure we followed
the coordinates exactly?
- Look for yourself.
- All right, well, well, we
got where we wanted to go.
Can we head back?
- No, we're not giving
up this easily, okay?
I say we keep looking around.
- I agree. The coordinates
might not be exact.
I think we should set up camp
and then look in the morning.
- Hey, hey.
Gemma, Gemma. Alice is gone.
I woke up and she was gone.
- What's happening?
- Gemma!
Alice!
- Alice.
- Alice!
Alice! Hello?
- Gemma!
Hello?
Alice!
Alice, what is it?
I don't know where,
where they...
Hello?
Maddie?
- Huh?
Uh!
Ah!
Hello?
Gemma!
- Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh.
- Talia?
- Hey.
I tried to get you up off the
floor, but you were out hard.
- You're alive.
- I am.
Hey, let's take a look at that.
- Alice, she wouldn't
stop screaming,
and I don't, her bones were...
- You did all you could.
- Were you close?
- I only really knew
them through Gemma.
- Do you think she's okay?
Maybe she'll find
help, come back for us.
- Yeah, if they can find us.
- Have you
ever seen a storm like that?
- No.
Nothing like that.
This is gonna sting.
- Thanks.
- Yeah. Of course.
You're not gonna make
it far on that leg.
And after that storm, I
have no idea where we are.
- Barren House.
- Right? But it's not
where we thought it was.
This is solar powered.
Too bad there's no service
for about a hundred miles.
Oh, God.
- What?
Is it bad?
There's no food.
- I noticed.
- Talia, there's something
really wrong here.
I mean, do you feel it?
- You mean the fact that this
place vanished for 50 years?
Um,
that's just bullshit.
You know that, right?
- No, no.
We, we shouldn't be here.
- Ah, do you have
somewhere else in mind?
- Listen to me. I, I don't
think we're safe here.
- Why? What'd you see?
Madison,
please don't go crazy
on me.
We need to keep
it together. Okay?
Just until somebody finds us.
This cabin is just
that, a cabin.
Can't hurt us.
- Don't leave.
- Okay.
- What's that for?
- Keep track of the days.
Oh, I, ah, I found some
soap under the sink.
Okay. I'll give
you some privacy.
I'm gonna go do the
clothes in the sink.
- Thanks.
- Mm.
I tried to tell them that...
I have no idea. Because.
We haven't been able
to find anybody yet,
and we have no
idea where we are,
but we're alive.
We have water.
- Talia, who
are you talking to?
- It's stupid, I
just, I just thought
maybe it would help to
keep a record of things.
- Talia?
- Oh!
- Talia!
You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Wh-Why
were you crying?
- I wasn't.
All yours.
- Hi, my name's Madison Hughes.
It's been six days
since the storm.
Nobody's come for us yet.
Obviously, we have
no idea where we are.
Whenever we've tried
to find the way back,
we either get lost or we
end up back at the cabin.
We did find Gemma's backpack,
which has a flare gun.
Maybe someone will see us.
Probably not.
I, ah, I found this book.
It was full of these
horrible, disgusting things.
It belonged to Jacob Blackwell.
That means this actually
is the Barren House.
Something horrible
happened in this house.
Feels like the longer I'm
here, the less I understand.
That scares me.
What...?
The fuck? What the fuck?
- I, I don't remember.
I don't know. That's,
that's so creepy.
I don't know why
I would do that.
I, I, I must have
been sleepwalking.
- That's not just
normal sleepwalking.
- Maddie, I know.
What do you want me to
say? I'm sorry, okay?
Why are you here?
- What are you doing
- In my house?
- Talia, are you asleep?
- In my house?
Ah. Uh.
Uh.
Oh my God. What happened?
Oh.
- It's getting pretty
hard to stay hopeful.
It's been three weeks
without any food.
How long can you
go without eating?
I think Talia is getting sick.
I have been getting headaches.
Talia says it's the head injury.
My leg is getting worse.
It's getting harder
and harder to walk.
Talia?
- Hey, you're up.
Hey, can you get
the fire started?
- Oh my God.
- What?
- What fuck are you doing?
Oh, it's
Alice! Jesus Christ!
- What's wrong with you?
- Why are
you cutting her up?
- Madison, we've been
eating her for days.
- What?
I tried to get a nice cut.
- Ooh.
- Maddie, please. Let me see.
- Uh!
- Are you okay?
Come here.
Hey, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
I know you're confused,
but I'm here. Okay?
I'm here.
Shh. Shh.
Shh.
- We, we, ah, we ate her!
We couldn't find, I
couldn't fucking, oh God!
Oh my God!
Without out it, I
couldn't, I can't...
I just wanted my
friends to like, they,
they always
leave, they always leave me!
I don't know why.
Stop it! Stop it!
Talia, what are you doing?
Goes...
I don't know what to do. Um,
can you, can you move it?
Ah, shit.
Phew. Okay.
Do it.
Okay.
Talia.
Stop it.
Stop it, stop it, stop it.
Come on.
Hello?
- Maddie?
- Gemma, Gemma, oh my God.
You're alive.
- Where are you?
I can't believe
this. Where are you?
- Barren Cabin. Gemma, I, I
have no idea how we got here.
I, I don't know where
we are, but please,
you have to come get us.
- I'm, I'm actually
not gonna be here tomorrow.
I'm going on a trip
with some friends.
Please, things are
so fucked here.
Talia's going crazy.
- I'm, I'm, I'm actually
not gonna be here tomorrow.
I'm going on a trip
with some friends.
Oh, Maddie, it's, it's
gonna be a pretty rough one.
Um, I'm actually not
gonna be here tomorrow.
I'm going on a trip...
Talia, why is the door locked?
Open the door!
Talia?
Jesus Christ.
- He's dead.
- What?
- They beat him to a pulp.
They nailed
him to a cross.
The crows
pecked at his flesh,
and we laughed
and laughed and laughed.
- What the
are you talking about?
Oh.
Oh, my...
Oh, Talia, please stop it.
- They came, but
they didn't listen.
He saw enlightenment
through my agony,
through our children's.
When they saw what
he'd done,
they burned it all
down, the house,
even the children.
But guess what?
We're still here.
And they will pay.
Oh,
will they pay.
You will all feel the
pain that we felt.
She warned you not to come.
- Please stop, stop.
- It's all your fault,
you stupid bitch!
- Oh God.
Talia, what's going on?
- It's for your
own good, Maddie.
That leg needs help.
- Talia, let me go.
- Just keep still.
Talia.
Talia.
No. What are you, what
are you...
Oh, what the fuck?
What are you doing?
Oh my God! No, Talia, please,
please, please, don't!
No, Talia. What the fuck?
Stop, don't, stop, God!
- Almost done.
- Fuck!
Oh my God!
Fucking!
- Almost done.
See, that wasn't so bad.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I know you wouldn't leave me.
What the fuck?
Another for me.
- Why are you doing this to me?
- You want me to take it easier?
- You put needles
in my fucking leg.
- I don't know what
you're talking about.
- I thought you were my friend.
- I mean, I thought
you liked me.
- I do. We are.
- Then why are you hurting me?
- Gemma was right about you.
- What?
- It's never enough.
- What the hell
are you talking about?
You're just this lady,
spineless little worm.
No matter how much
someone does for you,
no matter how much time
they spend with you,
no matter how hard they
try to fix your putrid,
nasty fucking wound,
you are never satisfied.
Selfish. Selfish, little worm!
You're a fucking virus!
Fucking virus.
- I was able to piece
together some of the book.
Clearly Jacob and Mary
were into the occult.
It seems like he was forcing
her to mutilate herself.
Really stark, brutal rituals.
That's all I can
figure out so far.
Come on.
- Hi, Maddie.
It's your leg, Maddie.
- No.
- It's too far gone.
- Kill me now?
- Stay still.
Do you want to die,
because that's what will
happen if you keep on...
Help!
- Okay. We're coming in.
- Oh thank God! Thank
fucking God you're here.
- Hey, hey, hey. Just,
just calm down, okay?
- No, please. She's still here!
- Who's still here?
- There's another girl here.
She's out of her mind. She's
trying to fucking kill me!
- Just stay calm. Yeah?
- Right, check it out.
Oh no, hey, hey, hey, hey, no.
If you're hurt, just, just,
just stay cool. Just stay calm.
Okay? It's all right.
Okay? Stay still.
Hey, Frank. Everything
okay up there?
Frank?
- Yeah, we're all clear.
- Okay, okay. All right, ah-
- Wait, no, no. She's still
here.
- All right, okay,
okay. No problem.
All right. Is
there another exit?
- I don't, um, there's,
there's, there's something else.
- Okay, well, ah, well, which
way do you think that she...
- Ah, oh God!
- What the hell?
- Frank! Ah!
Shit! My shoulder!
Where is she?
He needs help!
Please, help him!
Get him help! I
can't fucking move!
Ah! Ah!
Oh, God!
Did the, did the ax
pierce his lungs?
- I don't...
How would I know?
- Okay, okay.
Check his breathing.
- Okay.
- How's it sound?
- Raspy.
- Okay. Okay, listen.
I need you to
listen to me. Okay?
You're gonna have
to do something.
- She's still here.
- Look, it doesn't matter!
We don't have time for that!
Like right now, his lungs
are filling with blood.
- Oh God.
- He's slowly suffocating.
Ah!
You're gonna have
to do a tracheotomy.
- What? No, no, no, no.
I can't do that.
I can't do that.
- Well, you have
to! Listen, okay?
First, you're gonna have to
make a small incision. Okay?
- Okay.
Well, with what?
- No, no, wait.
- Okay.
- Okay. Here's
what you gotta do.
You gotta find the cricothyroid
membrane. All right?
Put your hand on his Adam apple.
You got it? Okay.
Now take your finger
and slide it down.
Do, do you feel another bulge?
- Ah.
- Do you feel another bulge?
- Ah, I think so.
I think so.
- There should be a slight
indent between that
and the Adam's apple.
That's where you need to cut.
Oh.
I, I think, I think
I got it. I got it.
- All right. Good,
good, good, good.
Now make, make a
half-inch horizontal cut.
About a half-inch
deep. You understand?
- Huh, okay.
Okay.
All right, yeah, you
got it, you got it.
You can do it. I'm ready.
Oh.
- Okay, now do you see
a yellowish membrane?
- I don't, I can't
really see anything.
- Oh, okay. All right,
all right, that's okay.
Now just, you're gonna
have to make the cut
a little bit bigger, okay?
All right. Just enough
so you can see it.
- Okay.
- Ready?
- Ready.
I, I think I see it.
- All right, now you
will take that knife
and cut right into that
membrane, right into it.
- Yellow stuff, the...?
- Yeah, that's it.
- Okay.
- Almost ready?
Deeper!
- It's all the way in!
- Jesus Christ!
Okay, okay. Just
forget about it.
Just, just, just
remove the knife.
All right, stay there.
All right.
- Uh.
Okay, okay. Wait a minute, here.
This is what you're
gonna have to do.
Uh! Ah!
Take that.
Now, you're gonna have
to, you're gonna have
to broaden the airways.
Now take your fingers and
just pull to make it wider.
Okay?
- Oh, oh.
Shouldn't I wash my hands?
- No, no! There's
no time for that!
Okay? Come on, we're
losing, he's suffocating!
Come on!
- Okay.
- That right. Do
it, do it, do it.
Put your hands there.
All right. Now keep
your fingers in there.
Now grab the tube
with your mouth.
Goddammit, use your tongue!
- I'm trying!
- All right, now press
that tube in there,
just like a straw
into that wound.
Press it into the
wound like a straw.
- What?
- There you go.
Good, good, good.
Okay, now suck.
This feels wrong!
- You're removing blood
from his lungs. Okay?
So that he can breathe! Pick
up that fucking pen, let's go!
- Oh! Okay, I'll do it.
Okay.
Come on, come on.
Get in there.
- Ah!
- That's it, that's it.
Here we go. Hey,
baby, suck and spit.
- Ah!
- Suck and spit.
That's right, good.
- That's good, Maddie.
That's very good.
That's real good.
- Oh, no, no.
We're not done yet.
Uh-uh. Not yet.
- Hey, Frank.
416, we just found a female,
young adult unconscious
just off the Northwest Trail.
- 10-4. Copy that, I'm
gonna send someone, over.
- 216, okay?
- 2124 here.
Ah, we miscalculated, we
might need another vehicle.
Can send him over, patrol?
- Do you need,
ah, an arresting team? Over.
- Copy that. We have to
change over to channel two.
- Station, there's
a rescue flare in the air
about six miles east.
- Hey, we're coming in.
- Hello?
Hello?
- Gemma?
- Maddie?
Maddie, it's me.
- Gemma!
Gemma, oh my God!
- Maddie.
Ah, Maddie, the door's
locked. Ah, open up.
- I don't, I'm scared.
- Okay. It, it, it's okay.
Just, just open the door.
- How do
I know it's you?
- What do you mean?
- I don't,
I don't even know
what's real anymore.
Talia went crazy.
She killed them.
She tried to kill me!
- What?
Maddie, Maddie, open the door.
- How do I know it's really you?
Gemma!
- Um...
We've, um, we've known each
other since the first grade.
We grew up on the same street.
Your, your favorite
color is blue.
You, um, you hate gym class.
We skipped it in eighth
grade and got detention
and your mom was
furious, remember?
Maddie,
look, I know I distanced
myself from you
a little bit and, and I'm sorry.
I just, sometimes I need
a little space, you know?
And I'm not very good at
setting boundaries. I just...
Maddie, I'm sorry.
But I'm here now
and I, I promise,
I'm, I'm not gonna
leave you again.
Okay? Please, just,
just open the door.
Maddie.
- It's really you.
- Oh, my...
What...?
Um, okay, it's gonna,
it's gonna be okay.
Oh my God.
- And Mary was a witch, Gemma.
Her
husband tortured her.
And he killed the children.
And then the townspeople,
they blamed her.
They tried to burn
the place down.
- Oh, Maddie, Maddie,
please calm down.
- She cursed the
cabin to keep it for her,
to make, to make us feel
the pain that she felt!
The Barren
House will never die.
She
lives under the floor.
- Maddie, Maddie, you're
gonna be okay. Okay?
- Yeah. My leg, yeah.
We've just been using soap
and water to clean it.
- Wait. We?
- Talia, Talia
sewed it, but it's infected.
So, it's been getting
worse every week.
And she said we might
have to amputate it.
- Wait. What are
you talking about?
It's been two days.
- What?
- Who's Talia?
- What do you...?
Okay, come on. Come on.
It's been months. Look.
Go ahead.
Oh!
- We're still here
You will all feel
the pain that we felt.
We'll rampage.
- Hi, I'm Laura.
- Alice.
- Maddie.
- Get out of my fucking head!
- Maddie, it's me.
- Gemma?
- Yeah.
Now put the ax down.
- You left me.
- No, no, no, no.
- You did.
- No.
- It's, it's your
fault that I'm here.
I said that we should go back.
You don't listen to
me. You never listen.
- Maddie, calm down.
- You abandoned me.
You're just
like all the others.
I mean, I, I needed you
and you left me all alone.
I'm always alone.
This is all your fucking fault!
Uh!
- Maddie?
Maddie.
- "Don't leave me here."
- I've never
met anyone like you.
You have zero boundaries.
Look, Maddie, it's
not an attack on you.
The point is this just isn't
a good living arrangement
for us anymore.
Maybe you'd be better off
finding a studio place,
just somewhere you can
like clear your head,
figure some things out.
This doesn't need to be a
negative thing, you know?
I think being alone for a
little could really be good
for someone like you.
- We need you
out by the end of the month.
- Hey. Yeah. I, I know,
it's been a while.
What's wrong?
I'm sorry. That's,
that's terrible.
Tomorrow? I'm, I'm actually
not gonna be here tomorrow.
I'm going on a trip
with some friends.
Oh, Maddie, it's, it's
gonna be a pretty rough one.
Of course.
Yeah, yeah. Of course you can.
- Dr. Moranda,
can you explain quickly
exactly what is
The Barren Cabin?
- Sure,
The Barren Cabin
is analogous to say Bigfoot
or the Loch Ness Monster,
only in this case, we're not
talking about a creature,
we're talking about a place
- Last call for gummy worms
- Was presumed to exist...
- You ate that
entire bag already?
- Truly documented...
- Hey, Gemma.
You told your friend to
bring her own food, right?
- Be nice, Alice.
I brought extra.
- You sure she'll
be able to keep up?
- Yeah, yeah. She'll,
she'll be fine.
- For four days in the
freezing cold with no service?
Yeah.
- Ah,
the cabin gets its name
from its location,
purported to be
in the desolate
Canadian Barren Lands.
- Hey, hope you weren't
waiting too long.
- It's fine. Hi.
- Hey, I am Laura.
- Alice.
- Talia.
- I'm Madison. Hi.
- Come on in.
Here.
- Thanks.
- So how are you?
How was the bus?
- So, it was great.
It's so good to see you again.
- You too.
- Now, listen to this one.
"The exact location of The
Barren House remains unknown,
but according to the police
reports, the coordinates used
by the missing persons
were all the same."
- Ooh.
- Wooing.
- The owners
of The Barren Cabin,
the Blackwell family, Jacob,
Mary, and their two children.
The father, Jacob,
goes into town
to sell his fur once a month.
Then one month, doesn't
show up. What happened?
- They,
ah, unfortunately find
the entire family, ah,
dead save for Mary,
who is horribly
mutilated and deranged.
Ah, before authorities could
even be called to the scene,
the cabin is set ablaze.
To this day, ah, that is
the last known sighting
of The Barren Cabin.
- Um, I should
mention that part of the reason
that we're covering this, ah,
YouTuber and friend of ours
named Jake Levinson, actually
was covering the topic
on his channel and actually
went looking for it.
Um, and unfortunately
after leaving,
has been missing for now
the past three months.
There have been over 40 missing
cases in that general area
over the past 20 years.
Can you explain at
all why so many people
have gone missing in
that general region?
- As
for, ah, Jake Levinson,
ah, my heart goes
out to his family,
and we, ah, all pray
for his safe return.
Wish I could explain, ah,
with any degree of certainty,
but, ah, The Barren Lands are
an incredibly desolate area,
and I can imagine it would
be very easy for someone
to get turned around,
ah, while exploring.
- I really think
it's a magnetic thing,
like what people say about
the Bermuda Triangle.
Somewhere where a compass
points to true north
instead of magnetic north.
I mean, the missing hikers
could've just gotten lost.
- I don't know, I feel
like if it was that simple,
one of the hikers
would've made it back.
There was the wormhole
theory, my personal favorite.
- Hanging in there?
- I don't know, I
feel like it has to be
something a little
more sinister.
- That's because you
watch scary shit all the time.
- I'm serious.
Oof, cramps? I got ya.
- Thanks. Be right back.
- How you holding up?
- Dying.
- I'm really sorry
about what happened.
- It's just that it
was so outta nowhere, you know?
Like, "Hey, by the way,
we hated you this
whole time, get out."
- That's horrible.
- Just don't know why
this same pattern keeps
just repeating
with me, you know?
God, I have the worst
instincts picking friends.
I'm still here.
- I know. I really appreciate
you letting me stay with you.
- Yeah, of course, you just
need to get back on your feet,
and I'm sure it won't take long.
But not that I'm rushing you.
- Glad we're hanging out
again. Really missed you.
- Just been so busy.
- Guys!
- What the hell?
- Don't touch it.
- What do you think it means?
- Maybe
some kind of ritual.
- For what?
- Maybe
we should head back.
- What?
- Well, well,
it's just, this is weird.
- The whole point of
the trip is weird.
- Yeah, but this seems
like kind of a warning.
I mean, Gemma.
Seriously?
- Hold up.
- And I think we're here.
- Don't tell me we came
all this way for nothing.
- So if Barren House
was that easy to locate,
someone would've
found it years ago.
- They did and then
they disappeared.
So much for your
magnetic theory.
- Are you sure we followed
the coordinates exactly?
- Look for yourself.
- All right, well, well, we
got where we wanted to go.
Can we head back?
- No, we're not giving
up this easily, okay?
I say we keep looking around.
- I agree. The coordinates
might not be exact.
I think we should set up camp
and then look in the morning.
- Hey, hey.
Gemma, Gemma. Alice is gone.
I woke up and she was gone.
- What's happening?
- Gemma!
Alice!
- Alice.
- Alice!
Alice! Hello?
- Gemma!
Hello?
Alice!
Alice, what is it?
I don't know where,
where they...
Hello?
Maddie?
- Huh?
Uh!
Ah!
Hello?
Gemma!
- Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh.
- Talia?
- Hey.
I tried to get you up off the
floor, but you were out hard.
- You're alive.
- I am.
Hey, let's take a look at that.
- Alice, she wouldn't
stop screaming,
and I don't, her bones were...
- You did all you could.
- Were you close?
- I only really knew
them through Gemma.
- Do you think she's okay?
Maybe she'll find
help, come back for us.
- Yeah, if they can find us.
- Have you
ever seen a storm like that?
- No.
Nothing like that.
This is gonna sting.
- Thanks.
- Yeah. Of course.
You're not gonna make
it far on that leg.
And after that storm, I
have no idea where we are.
- Barren House.
- Right? But it's not
where we thought it was.
This is solar powered.
Too bad there's no service
for about a hundred miles.
Oh, God.
- What?
Is it bad?
There's no food.
- I noticed.
- Talia, there's something
really wrong here.
I mean, do you feel it?
- You mean the fact that this
place vanished for 50 years?
Um,
that's just bullshit.
You know that, right?
- No, no.
We, we shouldn't be here.
- Ah, do you have
somewhere else in mind?
- Listen to me. I, I don't
think we're safe here.
- Why? What'd you see?
Madison,
please don't go crazy
on me.
We need to keep
it together. Okay?
Just until somebody finds us.
This cabin is just
that, a cabin.
Can't hurt us.
- Don't leave.
- Okay.
- What's that for?
- Keep track of the days.
Oh, I, ah, I found some
soap under the sink.
Okay. I'll give
you some privacy.
I'm gonna go do the
clothes in the sink.
- Thanks.
- Mm.
I tried to tell them that...
I have no idea. Because.
We haven't been able
to find anybody yet,
and we have no
idea where we are,
but we're alive.
We have water.
- Talia, who
are you talking to?
- It's stupid, I
just, I just thought
maybe it would help to
keep a record of things.
- Talia?
- Oh!
- Talia!
You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Wh-Why
were you crying?
- I wasn't.
All yours.
- Hi, my name's Madison Hughes.
It's been six days
since the storm.
Nobody's come for us yet.
Obviously, we have
no idea where we are.
Whenever we've tried
to find the way back,
we either get lost or we
end up back at the cabin.
We did find Gemma's backpack,
which has a flare gun.
Maybe someone will see us.
Probably not.
I, ah, I found this book.
It was full of these
horrible, disgusting things.
It belonged to Jacob Blackwell.
That means this actually
is the Barren House.
Something horrible
happened in this house.
Feels like the longer I'm
here, the less I understand.
That scares me.
What...?
The fuck? What the fuck?
- I, I don't remember.
I don't know. That's,
that's so creepy.
I don't know why
I would do that.
I, I, I must have
been sleepwalking.
- That's not just
normal sleepwalking.
- Maddie, I know.
What do you want me to
say? I'm sorry, okay?
Why are you here?
- What are you doing
- In my house?
- Talia, are you asleep?
- In my house?
Ah. Uh.
Uh.
Oh my God. What happened?
Oh.
- It's getting pretty
hard to stay hopeful.
It's been three weeks
without any food.
How long can you
go without eating?
I think Talia is getting sick.
I have been getting headaches.
Talia says it's the head injury.
My leg is getting worse.
It's getting harder
and harder to walk.
Talia?
- Hey, you're up.
Hey, can you get
the fire started?
- Oh my God.
- What?
- What fuck are you doing?
Oh, it's
Alice! Jesus Christ!
- What's wrong with you?
- Why are
you cutting her up?
- Madison, we've been
eating her for days.
- What?
I tried to get a nice cut.
- Ooh.
- Maddie, please. Let me see.
- Uh!
- Are you okay?
Come here.
Hey, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
I know you're confused,
but I'm here. Okay?
I'm here.
Shh. Shh.
Shh.
- We, we, ah, we ate her!
We couldn't find, I
couldn't fucking, oh God!
Oh my God!
Without out it, I
couldn't, I can't...
I just wanted my
friends to like, they,
they always
leave, they always leave me!
I don't know why.
Stop it! Stop it!
Talia, what are you doing?
Goes...
I don't know what to do. Um,
can you, can you move it?
Ah, shit.
Phew. Okay.
Do it.
Okay.
Talia.
Stop it.
Stop it, stop it, stop it.
Come on.
Hello?
- Maddie?
- Gemma, Gemma, oh my God.
You're alive.
- Where are you?
I can't believe
this. Where are you?
- Barren Cabin. Gemma, I, I
have no idea how we got here.
I, I don't know where
we are, but please,
you have to come get us.
- I'm, I'm actually
not gonna be here tomorrow.
I'm going on a trip
with some friends.
Please, things are
so fucked here.
Talia's going crazy.
- I'm, I'm, I'm actually
not gonna be here tomorrow.
I'm going on a trip
with some friends.
Oh, Maddie, it's, it's
gonna be a pretty rough one.
Um, I'm actually not
gonna be here tomorrow.
I'm going on a trip...
Talia, why is the door locked?
Open the door!
Talia?
Jesus Christ.
- He's dead.
- What?
- They beat him to a pulp.
They nailed
him to a cross.
The crows
pecked at his flesh,
and we laughed
and laughed and laughed.
- What the
are you talking about?
Oh.
Oh, my...
Oh, Talia, please stop it.
- They came, but
they didn't listen.
He saw enlightenment
through my agony,
through our children's.
When they saw what
he'd done,
they burned it all
down, the house,
even the children.
But guess what?
We're still here.
And they will pay.
Oh,
will they pay.
You will all feel the
pain that we felt.
She warned you not to come.
- Please stop, stop.
- It's all your fault,
you stupid bitch!
- Oh God.
Talia, what's going on?
- It's for your
own good, Maddie.
That leg needs help.
- Talia, let me go.
- Just keep still.
Talia.
Talia.
No. What are you, what
are you...
Oh, what the fuck?
What are you doing?
Oh my God! No, Talia, please,
please, please, don't!
No, Talia. What the fuck?
Stop, don't, stop, God!
- Almost done.
- Fuck!
Oh my God!
Fucking!
- Almost done.
See, that wasn't so bad.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I know you wouldn't leave me.
What the fuck?
Another for me.
- Why are you doing this to me?
- You want me to take it easier?
- You put needles
in my fucking leg.
- I don't know what
you're talking about.
- I thought you were my friend.
- I mean, I thought
you liked me.
- I do. We are.
- Then why are you hurting me?
- Gemma was right about you.
- What?
- It's never enough.
- What the hell
are you talking about?
You're just this lady,
spineless little worm.
No matter how much
someone does for you,
no matter how much time
they spend with you,
no matter how hard they
try to fix your putrid,
nasty fucking wound,
you are never satisfied.
Selfish. Selfish, little worm!
You're a fucking virus!
Fucking virus.
- I was able to piece
together some of the book.
Clearly Jacob and Mary
were into the occult.
It seems like he was forcing
her to mutilate herself.
Really stark, brutal rituals.
That's all I can
figure out so far.
Come on.
- Hi, Maddie.
It's your leg, Maddie.
- No.
- It's too far gone.
- Kill me now?
- Stay still.
Do you want to die,
because that's what will
happen if you keep on...
Help!
- Okay. We're coming in.
- Oh thank God! Thank
fucking God you're here.
- Hey, hey, hey. Just,
just calm down, okay?
- No, please. She's still here!
- Who's still here?
- There's another girl here.
She's out of her mind. She's
trying to fucking kill me!
- Just stay calm. Yeah?
- Right, check it out.
Oh no, hey, hey, hey, hey, no.
If you're hurt, just, just,
just stay cool. Just stay calm.
Okay? It's all right.
Okay? Stay still.
Hey, Frank. Everything
okay up there?
Frank?
- Yeah, we're all clear.
- Okay, okay. All right, ah-
- Wait, no, no. She's still
here.
- All right, okay,
okay. No problem.
All right. Is
there another exit?
- I don't, um, there's,
there's, there's something else.
- Okay, well, ah, well, which
way do you think that she...
- Ah, oh God!
- What the hell?
- Frank! Ah!
Shit! My shoulder!
Where is she?
He needs help!
Please, help him!
Get him help! I
can't fucking move!
Ah! Ah!
Oh, God!
Did the, did the ax
pierce his lungs?
- I don't...
How would I know?
- Okay, okay.
Check his breathing.
- Okay.
- How's it sound?
- Raspy.
- Okay. Okay, listen.
I need you to
listen to me. Okay?
You're gonna have
to do something.
- She's still here.
- Look, it doesn't matter!
We don't have time for that!
Like right now, his lungs
are filling with blood.
- Oh God.
- He's slowly suffocating.
Ah!
You're gonna have
to do a tracheotomy.
- What? No, no, no, no.
I can't do that.
I can't do that.
- Well, you have
to! Listen, okay?
First, you're gonna have to
make a small incision. Okay?
- Okay.
Well, with what?
- No, no, wait.
- Okay.
- Okay. Here's
what you gotta do.
You gotta find the cricothyroid
membrane. All right?
Put your hand on his Adam apple.
You got it? Okay.
Now take your finger
and slide it down.
Do, do you feel another bulge?
- Ah.
- Do you feel another bulge?
- Ah, I think so.
I think so.
- There should be a slight
indent between that
and the Adam's apple.
That's where you need to cut.
Oh.
I, I think, I think
I got it. I got it.
- All right. Good,
good, good, good.
Now make, make a
half-inch horizontal cut.
About a half-inch
deep. You understand?
- Huh, okay.
Okay.
All right, yeah, you
got it, you got it.
You can do it. I'm ready.
Oh.
- Okay, now do you see
a yellowish membrane?
- I don't, I can't
really see anything.
- Oh, okay. All right,
all right, that's okay.
Now just, you're gonna
have to make the cut
a little bit bigger, okay?
All right. Just enough
so you can see it.
- Okay.
- Ready?
- Ready.
I, I think I see it.
- All right, now you
will take that knife
and cut right into that
membrane, right into it.
- Yellow stuff, the...?
- Yeah, that's it.
- Okay.
- Almost ready?
Deeper!
- It's all the way in!
- Jesus Christ!
Okay, okay. Just
forget about it.
Just, just, just
remove the knife.
All right, stay there.
All right.
- Uh.
Okay, okay. Wait a minute, here.
This is what you're
gonna have to do.
Uh! Ah!
Take that.
Now, you're gonna have
to, you're gonna have
to broaden the airways.
Now take your fingers and
just pull to make it wider.
Okay?
- Oh, oh.
Shouldn't I wash my hands?
- No, no! There's
no time for that!
Okay? Come on, we're
losing, he's suffocating!
Come on!
- Okay.
- That right. Do
it, do it, do it.
Put your hands there.
All right. Now keep
your fingers in there.
Now grab the tube
with your mouth.
Goddammit, use your tongue!
- I'm trying!
- All right, now press
that tube in there,
just like a straw
into that wound.
Press it into the
wound like a straw.
- What?
- There you go.
Good, good, good.
Okay, now suck.
This feels wrong!
- You're removing blood
from his lungs. Okay?
So that he can breathe! Pick
up that fucking pen, let's go!
- Oh! Okay, I'll do it.
Okay.
Come on, come on.
Get in there.
- Ah!
- That's it, that's it.
Here we go. Hey,
baby, suck and spit.
- Ah!
- Suck and spit.
That's right, good.
- That's good, Maddie.
That's very good.
That's real good.
- Oh, no, no.
We're not done yet.
Uh-uh. Not yet.
- Hey, Frank.
416, we just found a female,
young adult unconscious
just off the Northwest Trail.
- 10-4. Copy that, I'm
gonna send someone, over.
- 216, okay?
- 2124 here.
Ah, we miscalculated, we
might need another vehicle.
Can send him over, patrol?
- Do you need,
ah, an arresting team? Over.
- Copy that. We have to
change over to channel two.
- Station, there's
a rescue flare in the air
about six miles east.
- Hey, we're coming in.
- Hello?
Hello?
- Gemma?
- Maddie?
Maddie, it's me.
- Gemma!
Gemma, oh my God!
- Maddie.
Ah, Maddie, the door's
locked. Ah, open up.
- I don't, I'm scared.
- Okay. It, it, it's okay.
Just, just open the door.
- How do
I know it's you?
- What do you mean?
- I don't,
I don't even know
what's real anymore.
Talia went crazy.
She killed them.
She tried to kill me!
- What?
Maddie, Maddie, open the door.
- How do I know it's really you?
Gemma!
- Um...
We've, um, we've known each
other since the first grade.
We grew up on the same street.
Your, your favorite
color is blue.
You, um, you hate gym class.
We skipped it in eighth
grade and got detention
and your mom was
furious, remember?
Maddie,
look, I know I distanced
myself from you
a little bit and, and I'm sorry.
I just, sometimes I need
a little space, you know?
And I'm not very good at
setting boundaries. I just...
Maddie, I'm sorry.
But I'm here now
and I, I promise,
I'm, I'm not gonna
leave you again.
Okay? Please, just,
just open the door.
Maddie.
- It's really you.
- Oh, my...
What...?
Um, okay, it's gonna,
it's gonna be okay.
Oh my God.
- And Mary was a witch, Gemma.
Her
husband tortured her.
And he killed the children.
And then the townspeople,
they blamed her.
They tried to burn
the place down.
- Oh, Maddie, Maddie,
please calm down.
- She cursed the
cabin to keep it for her,
to make, to make us feel
the pain that she felt!
The Barren
House will never die.
She
lives under the floor.
- Maddie, Maddie, you're
gonna be okay. Okay?
- Yeah. My leg, yeah.
We've just been using soap
and water to clean it.
- Wait. We?
- Talia, Talia
sewed it, but it's infected.
So, it's been getting
worse every week.
And she said we might
have to amputate it.
- Wait. What are
you talking about?
It's been two days.
- What?
- Who's Talia?
- What do you...?
Okay, come on. Come on.
It's been months. Look.
Go ahead.
Oh!
- We're still here
You will all feel
the pain that we felt.
We'll rampage.
- Hi, I'm Laura.
- Alice.
- Maddie.
- Get out of my fucking head!
- Maddie, it's me.
- Gemma?
- Yeah.
Now put the ax down.
- You left me.
- No, no, no, no.
- You did.
- No.
- It's, it's your
fault that I'm here.
I said that we should go back.
You don't listen to
me. You never listen.
- Maddie, calm down.
- You abandoned me.
You're just
like all the others.
I mean, I, I needed you
and you left me all alone.
I'm always alone.
This is all your fucking fault!
Uh!
- Maddie?
Maddie.
- "Don't leave me here."
