EXT. CAMP PARTY - NIGHT |
|
Tiffany, Sara, Tory, Greg, and several others are sitting
around a fire all with drinks in their hands celebrating
Greg's birthday. |
|
|
GREG
(Playful)
Hey, Tiffany. Did you get me that
gift I asked for? |
|
|
|
TIFFANY
(A little
flustered)
Seriously? We've been dating for
like what two months? Do you
really think that I would give you
me for your birthday? |
|
|
|
GREG
(playful)
A brother can only hope, right? |
|
|
Tory stands up and raises a beer. |
|
|
TORY
(Boisterous)
To Greg, the best Quarterback PSHS
has ever seen! |
|
|
Everyone clinks bottles, and drinks. He sits down and puts
his arm around Sara. |
|
|
|
Sara kisses him. |
|
|
|
|
TIFFANY
(nervous)
Greg, I did get you something
however. |
|
|
Greg turns to her. |
|
2.
|
|
GREG
Oh, yeah? What would that be? |
|
|
Tiffany, reaches into her pack, and she pulls out a wrapped
box. She nervously hands it to Greg. |
|
|
TIFFANY
Here I hope you like it. |
|
|
Greg takes it and unwraps it. He pulls an item out of the
box. He pauses for a moment, he's taken a back by the item. |
|
|
GREG
(Amazed)
Wow, it's my grandfathers flask. |
|
|
|
TIFFANY
Yeah, I took it to a place that
Sara found that cleans up stuff
like that. I also got his initials
re-engraved. |
|
|
|
GREG
(Appreciative)
Thank you, words cannot express
what this means to me. |
|
|
|
TIFFANY
How's about a kiss to show it? |
|
|
They kiss |
|
|
TORY
Now Greg,
(He stands up)
I know that your thinking that
there is no way anything can top
that, and I wish I knew that was
going to be the first gift. |
|
|
He looks at Sara |
|
|
SARA
(Defensive)
Hey, don't look at me. Your the
one who can't keep a secret. |
|
|
|
TORY
Silence! I got you a gift I had to
travel great lengths to obtain. |
|
|
|
GREG
Getting excited over here, bro! |
|
|
3.
|
|
TORY
(Vince McMahon
like)
Without further ado, straight from
your favorite movie, and straight
from Bear Lake, Ladies and
Gentlemen, Jaime Lake! |
|
|
Lenny walks out of the woods dressed like a fictional horror
movie character. He waves a fake machete in Sara's face. |
|
|
SARA
(Agitated)
Tory get him out of my face. |
|
|
|
TORY
(Patting Lenny on
the back)
Alright, that's enough. |
|
|
|
GREG
(Let down)
Dude, that whole idea, was
drenched in weak sauce. |
|
|
Vince appears through the smoke of the fire. |
|
|
TIFFANY
Now that is impressive |
|
|
|
SARA
(Impressed)
I didn't know you got this guy. |
|
|
|
TORY
(Confused)
He's not mine. |
|
|
|
GREG
Oh come on Tory, give up the gag. |
|
|
Greg gets up and walks over to Vince. |
|
|
TIFFANY
(Uneasy)
Wait, Greg something doesn't feel
right here. |
|
|
Greg signals it's OK. |
|
4.
|
|
GREG
It's okay, Tiff.
(He pokes Vince)
Come on Tory, who is this guy? |
|
|
|
TORY
(Serious)
Honestly, Greg I didn't invite
him. I don't know who the hell
this guy is. |
|
|
Greg gets in Vince's face |
|
|
GREG
(Confrontational)
Well then if he didn't invite you,
and I didn't invite you. All those
sum-bitches didn't invite you and
this party was by invite only,
then I'm sorry but I'll have to
ask you to leave, right now. |
|
|
Vince shakes his head in disagreement. |
|
|
GREG
Well if you don't want to leave on
your own free will, then I guess I
will have to drag you out of here
myself. |
|
|
Greg goes to punch Vince but he grabs Greg's hand and twists
it to bring Greg to his knees. |
|
|
GREG
(Painful)
Jesus, let go! You made your point
you can stay. |
|
|
Lenny runs up to Vince and Vince, with one hand slices Lenny
in the torso with his machete. Chaos ensues, three more
friends run at Vince and he cuts them down all while holding
Greg's hand. |
|
Tory grabs the girls hands. |
|
|
TORY
We gotta get the hell out of here,
right now. Come on let's go! |
|
|
|
5.
|
EXT. ABANDONED CAMP SITE - MOMENTS LATER |
|
Tory runs into frame leading the girls. He runs up to a
tent, unzips it and motions to the girls to get in. |
|
|
SARA
(Scared)
Who the fuck was that? |
|
|
|
TORY
(Closes his eyes
and mutters)
It can't be, there is no way, no,
no, no. |
|
|
|
SARA
(Grabs him)
Who, Tory? Who? |
|
|
|
TORY
(Snapping out of
it)
Vincent Banks. |
|
|
A thud is heard. |
|
|
|
|
GREG (OS)
(Painful)
Guys? Guys? |
|
|
|
|
Sara covers Tiffany's mouth. |
|
Tory slowly opens the fly on the window, they see Greg
sitting against a tree bleeding from the nose and mouth. |
|
|
GREG
Please, somebody help me. |
|
|
Tiffany wrestles herself free. |
|
|
TIFFANY
We can't just sit here, he needs
us. We have to go get him. |
|
|
|
TORY
It's a trap, he's using him as
bait. |
|
|
6.
|
|
TIFFANY
(Looking out the
window)
I don't see him, it looks like
Greg crawled here. |
|
|
|
TORY
Okay wait here, both of you. If I
don't come back, you wait here and
you do not move from this tent.
You understand me? |
|
|
|
|
Sara holds Tiffany as Tory unzips the tent and cautiously
walks towards Greg. |
|
|
GREG
Tory, thank god. You gotta have to
help me, I think he broke my back. |
|
|
Tory is within a couple of steps of Greg when Vince steps
out from behind a tree. |
|
Vince locks eyes with Tory for a second then slices Greg's
throat. Tory turns to take off but trips. Vince grabs his
leg trying to pick him up, but Tory kicks free and starts to
run. Vince flings the machete at him and catches him in the
back. Tiffany covers Sara's mouth. Vince walks over to Tory
pulls the machete out of his back, looks around and walks
away. |
|

EXT. BALL HOCKEY RINK - DAY |
|
The sun is shining bright over a hockey rink. A four on four
ball hockey game is taking place. Two girls stand behind the
glass. PETE is coming down the right wing while WILL is
breaking through the center. PETE feeds him a pass he takes
through the feet, goes forehand, backhand through the
goalies pads for the game winning goal. The guys getting
there gear off just past the boards. |
|
|
PETER
(Taking off a shin
pad)

|
|
|
WILL
(Doing up his
duffel bag)
I don't know man? I'm not sure I'm
over what happened with Crystal
yet. |
|
|
|
PETER
Okay, don't let that bitch fuck
your life up more then she already
has. Look, I'm not going to hand
you the old bullshit speech of how
there are plenty of fish in the
sea bullshit, but I will tell you
this.. fuck her! You don't need
her to have a good time.
(Slings his duffel
bag over his
shoulder and
grabs his stick)
I mean look at Lindsay. |
|
|
|
WILL
(Holding his
duffel bag)
She is hot |
|
|
|
PETER
Your god damn right she is. She
likes you... a lot. I don't know
why she does but still she does. |
|
|
|
WILL
Really she does? I guess I could
give it the Ole college try. |
|
|
|
|
PETE pats WILL on the back as they walk over to the girls. |
|

LINDSAY
(Playing with her
hair)
Not a whole lot you? |
|
|
|
WILL
Just, you know, chilling. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Nice goal by the way, very um...

PETE notices the awkwardness and comes to the aid of WILL |
|
|
PETER
So girls, you two excited for this
camping trip? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Giddy)
I can't wait! Haven't been back
there for awhile now. I love
camping. |
|
|
|
PETER
(Smirking)
You hear that Will? Lindsay loves
camping. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
I hate it. I just look at it as
another excuse to get drunk |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Like you need an excuse. |
|
|
|
WILL
Anyway I gotta run and grab some
stuff for this weekend. So I will
meet you at the trail at five? |
|
|

|
|
|
ANGEL looks at LINDSAY |
|
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(biting her lip)
Um Will? |
|
|
|
|
|
LINDSAY
I don't have a ride to the meeting
place tonight. Could you maybe
give me a ride. I mean if that's
alright? |
|
|
|
WILL
(thinks)
Ya, sure. Your along the way. Be

EXT. TRAIL ENTRANCE - DAY |
|
IT'S ACTUALLY MID AFTERNOON , JUST AS THE SUN IS GOING DOWN |
|
PETE and ANGEL are sitting on camping chairs on some rocks
with their camping stuff surrounding them. Will's truck
pulls up. They walk over to greet them. |
|
11.
|
|
ANGEL
(sarcastically)
Bout freaking time you got here! |
|
|
|
WILL
(Opens the door)
Sorry some asshole decided to
smoke a moose in a fucking smart
car. |
|
|
|
PETER
That must have been pretty. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Only you would think that. |
|
|
|
WILL
Blocked all lanes, hey Pete how

|
|
Walks over to the back of the truck. |
|
|
WILL
Don't want you to strain yourself. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PETER
No the fucking election results in
New fucking Zealand. Of course the
ride. |
|
|
|
WILL
(Grabs a pack)
Like an hour car ride would be.
Long, boring, and to perfectly
honest with you my ass hurts from
sitting. |
|
|
PETE takes the pack from him with a look of disbelief on his
face. |
|
|
WILL
Relax dude, we talked |
|
|
12.
|
WILL throws another pack at him |
|
|
WILL
Anyway what's up with Angel? |
|
|
|
PETER
(Puts down a
cooler)
Explain? |
|
|
|
|
|
ANGEL
(Turning to WILL)
What? |
|
|
|
WILL
You do realize it's at least an
hour hike right? Those... |
|
|
Stops to think |
|
|
|
|
WILL
(Nods to Pete)
Hooker boots.. aren't exactly hike
material. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
Look I ain't sacrificing look for
comfort! |
|
|
|
WILL
Okay then, are we ready? |
|

off. |

EXT. BANKS HOUSE - NIGHT |
|
Low camera shot looking up at the sky from the driveway up.
Vince's truck drives over the camera, the shot rotates
around to the view the truck and the cabin all in one shot.
The camera still hangs low but you get up close shot of the
door opening and Vince's feet plop to the ground kicking up
some dirt. He's got cowboy boots on and a long dirty black
|

|
trench coat. He walks to the back of his truck still
focusing on his feet and grabs a body in a burlap sack out
of the truck and flops it to the ground and drags it back to
the cabin. He opens the door walks in and takes the sack to
a wall with a bunch of other sacks hanging dripping blood,
he hangs up the fresh bag. |
|
|
VINCE
(off screen)
Hmm..... Dinner |
|
|
Turns and heads over to the fridge, grabs a rusty can full
of some foreign green substance. Takes it over to a chair
puts his feet up on a old wood stool. The camera pans out to
a full body shot of VINCE. He's appears to be in his 40's
but has long thin white hair that's very dirty. He's also
wearing a very dirty black cowboy hat. He takes off his hat,
and put it on the table beside him. The camera pans around
the place while he eats. Theres a blood soaked table with
pits of people laying around it. Then we go back to VINCE
looking full as he puts the can and rusty spoon down. |
|
|
VINCE
I wonder if the dessert is ready |
|
|
He gets up and exits the house the camera stays in the house
focused through the front window outside, showing BANKS get
into his truck and pull away |
|
|
EXT. TRAIL - NIGHT |
|
WILL and LINDSAY walk in lead with PETE and ANGEL in the
rear. ANGEL swings are hands in the air violently. |
|
|
ANGEL
Fucking mosquito's! Err.. |
|
|
|
WILL
Angel you wore all black as usual.
Do you think that maybe dark
colors in the middle of the woods
in May wasn't a good idea? |
|
|
|
ANGEL
I don't own light colors, they
make me depressed. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
For the last 15 years, your phobia
of color has me depressed. |
|
|
14.
|
|
ANGEL
(Swatting as flies)
Ha Ha. |
|
|
WILL leads LINDSAY away from a snake. |
|
|
|
|
ANGEL
Snake! Did he just say snake? |
|
|
|
PETER
(Grabbing her hand)
Relax hunny. I assure you that no
one on this trip is trained to
deal with snake bites. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
(kisses him)
Thanks sweetie, you know how to
make me feel safe and warm. |
|
|
|
|
They approach a fork in the road. |
|
|
WILL
Shit, is it right or left? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Fuck, I think it's left. |
|
|
|
WILL
(takes his hat off
and wipes his
brow)
Pete you got the map which way
does it say? |
|
|
PETE pulls out the map and unfolds it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
PETER
I got it right in front of me. |
|
|
WILL looks at LINDSAY for a second opinion. |
|
15.
|
|
LINDSAY
I've been wrong before. |
|
|
|
|
|
EXT. OLD DIRT ROAD - MOMENTS LATER |
|
WILL and LINDSAY walk up a little embankment on to a dirt
road followed by PETE, and ANGEL. WILL and LINDSAY have
bewildered looks on their faces. |
|
|
ANGEL
(Confused)
Guys? What's wrong? |
|
|
|
WILL
I just don't remember this road. |
|
|
PETE walks off a little bit. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY walks over to him, while WILL and ANGEL wander
aimlessly. |
|
|
|
|
PETER
You've been coming here for how
long? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Pauses)
Hmm..... about ten years now, but
it's been at least two years since
I was last here. Why do you ask? |
|
|
PETE moves to the side to reveal a Private Property sign |
|
|
PETER (OS)
(Reading)
Private Property: Trespassers will
be dealt with.
(Worried)
Was that always here? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
I don't know, unless it was here
in the last few years. Will would
know. Will come here for a sec
(MORE)
|
|
16.
|
|
|
WILL jogs over to them |
|
|
|
|
|
PETE shows him the sign |
|
|
LINDSAY
Do you remember that? |
|
|
|
WILL
I was here last year. It wasn't
here. Well check the map, I bought
it tonight. It should be this
years map. |
|
|
PETE pulls the map out and unfolds it. ANGEL walks over to
him. |
|
|
WILL
It was this years map, right? |
|
|
|
PETER
I don't know, I can't see the
date. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Impatient)
Top right corner. |
|
|
|
PETER
I know that. I'm just saying it's
not there on this map. |
|
|
ANGEL gets frustrated from the mosquitoes and black flies. |
|
|
ANGEL
For Christ's sake give me the
fucking thing.
(She takes it from
him)
Well thats why you couldn't find
it. You had it backwards... |
|
|
|
|
17.
|
|
ANGEL
Way to fucking go Pete! |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Pissed)
You led us five kilometers the
wrong fucking way! |
|
|
|
PETER
(Sorrow)
I'm sorry, really really sorry
Okay. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
Great. It's going to be getting
dark soon, chilly, bug crazy, and
on top of all that we're lost! |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Calming)
Okay, okay. Let's think about this
we can't be that bad off can we? |
|
|
|
WILL
No, I don't think so? |
|
|
A loud truck is heard coming. |
|
|
ANGEL
Oh, thank god, we're saved! |
|
|
|
PETER
Angel you saw the sign. Private
Property. |
|
|
|
WILL
He's right. I've seen my fair
share of horror movies, Pete take
Angel and hide. |
|
|
ANGEL and PETE run off to the top of a hill behind some
trees. WILL takes LINDSAY into some long grass. The truck
pulls up in between the two couples and just stops. VINCE
gets out of the truck, walks to the back and grabs an axe.
He starts off toward WILL and LINDSAY. PETE peaking around a
tree. |
|
|
|
18.
|
|
ANGEL
(Still hiding)
What... baby.... what's going on? |
|
|
|
PETER
The guy is walking toward Will and
Lin. He's got a axe. Fucking
rednecks. |
|
|
VINCE is weeding through the grass, looking for something in
particular. He gets close to WILL and LINDSAY. |
|
|
ANGEL
Come on guys. Get out of there |
|
|
VINCE stops, bends down. LINDSAY can see his face for the
first time and almost screams, but WILL covers her mouth.
VINCE finds his target. |
|
|
VINCE
Mutilated dog, my favorite
dessert. |
|
|
He flings it over his shoulder, stands up and walk back to
his truck. He throws the dog in the bed of his truck.
LINDSAY let's out a faint sob. VINCE hears it and quickly
turns around, and sees nothing. He gets in his truck and
drives off. PETE and ANGEL are the first to arrive on the
road followed by WILL and LINDSAY her face red from tears. |
|
|
ANGEL
Will, where the fuck did you take
us!? |
|
|
|
WILL
(frustrated)
Where the fuck did I take us?
That's a really good question. Why
don't you ask your fuck buddy
where the fuck we are!? |
|
|
|
PETER
Why don't you just fuck off, Will! |
|
|
WILL gets in Pete's face |
|
|
WILL
Oh ya? How about I knock your
fucking lights out? |
|
|
PETE pushes WILL, WILL pushes back. LINDSAY gets in between
them and breaks up the fight. |
|
19.
|
|
LINDSAY
(Pissed)
Guys... guys stop it!
(They stop, look
at her)
Stop fighting! We need to focus
and become a team again. We can
get out of here. You two are best
friends and your fighting why?
Because of your stupid fucking
pride! We all make mistakes, Will
you made yours and Pete you made
yours. Let's just move on and get
the fuck out of here. It's eight
o'clock, the sun is going down,
and its cold. Let's just follow
the road and get going. |
|
|
|
|
WILL and PETE shake hands |
|
|
WILL
(Apologetic)
Sorry, bro. Just lost my cool. |
|
|
|
|
|
WILL
That's a good idea and all Lin,
but we can't just follow the road. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
And why the fuck not? |
|
|
PETE looks at her and grabs her hand. |
|
|
PETER
(looking her in
the eye)
Because we don't know if he was
coming or going from his psycho
butcher shop. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
So what? We just wait here to die? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Not exactly, Angel. |
|
|
20.
|
|
WILL
(Cutting Lindsay
off)
We camp! For the night. He didn't
see us. It's too dark to move. We
get about twenty minutes in the
woods and camp. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
With Will and I's survival skills
we should be sound. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
(Stubborn)
No, no fucking way! I will not set
camp in the valley of chopped up
animals. |
|
|
|
PETER
It's that or you can stay here. By
yourself of course and wait for
fuck-o to come by again. |
|
|
|
|
|
EXT. WOODS CAMP SITE - NIGHT |
|
ANGEL is helping PETE set up the tent while over across on
the other side of the fire pit WILL is helping to set up
Lindsay's tent. |
|
|
LINDSAY
(Scared)
You know I was thinking. |
|
|
|
|
Grabs a pole and weaves it through the edge. |
|
|
LINDSAY
I really don't think we should
sleep alone tonight.
(Will looks at her
confused)
You know for safety reasons, not
because I think your insanely sexy
or anything (beat) just stop
talking Lindsay. |
|
|
21.
|
|
WILL
(Big smile)
Well since you put it that way
(Drives a stake
into the ground)
Sure why not? One less thing to
take down in the morning. |
|
|
Finishes the tent. LINDSAY opens the door, throws her stuff

They walk over to a make shift fire pit |
|
|
WILL

|
|
PETER
(faking a Knee
injury)

nagging knee injuries to help ya

|
|
They start to walk away. ANGEL stands up |
|
|
ANGEL
(worried)
Where are you two going? |
|
|
|
PETER

|
|
ANGEL
Well what about bears, foxes,
wolves, snakes, psychopathic
killers? |
|
|
|
|
|
ANGEL
Just stay away from them alright? |
|
|
|
PETER
Yes mother. Don't worry mother. |
|
|
LINDSAY pulls on Angel's pants, and ANGEL sits down. |
|
|
|
|
ANGEL
How? I hate the woods to begin
with. Throw in being lost while
trespassing on a lunatics Private
Property. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Reaches into a
cooler)
It's called beer. Get used to it. |
|
|
ANGEL grabs a beer |
|
|
ANGEL
So you and Will eh? Bout time. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Nothing happened... yet. |
|
|
They chuckle |
|
|
EXT. SMALL CLEARING - NIGHT |
|
Will walks into shot and drops some logs. Pete sits down on
a big log, and hands Will the Axe. Wills sets up a log. |
|
|
PETER
(Cocky)
So you going to break your dry
spell tonight? |
|
|
Will splits a log then sets up another. |
|
23.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WILL
Okay, A) Why is my sex life up for
discussion and B) How do you know
about my sex life. |
|
|
|
PETER
Will put the Axe down and look at
me, please. |
|
|
Will drops the Axe. |
|
|
PETER
Good. Now you were with Crystal
for what? |
|
|
|
|
|
PETER
Listen to me now, you know I love
you and you know my feelings about
her, but in that year she slept
with everybody except you. |
|
|
|
WILL
(Disbelief)
How do you even know that? |
|
|
|
PETER
Because Will, your my boy and as
my boy I know when your getting
some and when you've been riding
the pine. Your whole attitude
changes. |
|
|
|
WILL
(Shakes head)
Lindsay is great and everything
but sex on the first date, really? |
|
|
Pete just stares at Will blankly. |
|
|
PETER
Alright listen up, Dr.
Sensitivity. Sex on day one isn't
horrible. Do I recommend it?
Abso-fucking-lutly. Let me put it
to you like this. Would you buy a

|
|
PETER (cont'd)
car without test driving it first? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PETER
OK. Now how about a house. Would
you buy a house without seeing it
first? |
|
|
|
WILL
Again no I wouldn't. But honestly
Pete, comparing a woman to a car
or a house? Angel would beat your
ass. |
|
|
|
PETER
(Insightful)
I'm just trying to tell you, that
for once in your life, live a
little. Live in the moment, don't
worry about tomorrow. Just focus
on the here and now, and for
tonight the here and now is
Lindsay. |
|
|
Will picks up the wood. |
|
|
WILL
See you had me for a minute. Here
I am thinking your being a great
guy offering advice. |
|
|
Will hands Pete an arm full of wood. |
|
|
WILL
As usual with you it all came down
to sex. |
|
|
|
PETER
Your missing the point, yet again. |
|
|
|
WILL
I see your point, seize the day,
carpe a deim. |
|
|
25.
|
|
PETER
(Smiling)
And don't forget the booty. |
|
|
They start to walk off |

|
|
|
|
|
WILL
(Reaching for the
beer)

|
|
|
ANGEL
(Confused)
Just one? |
|
|
PETE lights the fire. WILL sits down beside LINDSAY |
|
|
PETER

serious drinking problem. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Puts her arms
around Will)
Well that's good. I'm proud of

|
|
|

|
|
EXT. TRAIL ROCK - NIGHT |
|
WILL sitting on a rock over looking the valley. |
|
|
WILL
(sad)
I should have been there Billy.
I'm sorry brother. |
|
|
A rustling noise is heard behind him. He looks. |
|
|
WILL
Hello?... Anyone there? |
|
|
There is no answer yet more rustling. |
|
|
WILL
Must be a fucking raccoon |
|
|
He turns back toward the valley. A hand touches WILL on the
shoulder. He quickly turns. |
|
|
WILL
(freaked)
What the fuck!? |
|
|
LINDSAY walks into the shot laughing at WILL |
|
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Laughing)
Your look was awesome. |
|
|
|
WILL
I will remember this, I will get
you back. |
|
|
She sits down beside him |
|
|
LINDSAY
So, what are you doing? |
|
|
|
|
27.
|
|
|
|
WILL
Ah.... it's not important. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Come on Will, you can tell me. |
|
|
LINDSAY hugs WILL |
|
|
WILL
(down)
I don't like to talk about it. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Still holding him)
Don't do this to yourself. |
|
|
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Brother? I thought you only had a
sister. |
|
|
|
WILL
My brother died a year ago. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Oh... I didn't know. How if you
don't mind me asking? |
|
|
|
WILL
Rock climbing accident out here. I
was supposed to come with him. I
bailed out on him though, to go to
a party. He came alone and
apparently his rope snapped and he
fell. I go, I spot and he doesn't
die. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Hugs him again)
You can't blame yourself. It was
an accident. |
|
|
|
WILL
How? That rope was brand new, he
was awesome at climbing. How does
a top level climber snap a rope? |
|
|
28.
|
|
LINDSAY
I don't know Will. |
|
|
|
WILL
(Frustrated)
I'm just so damn confused about
everything. There's got to be more
to it then what there saying, I
don't know. Maybe a couple of
drinks I can forgot about it for a
bit. |
|
|
|
|
|
WILL
Yeah
(gets up)
Billy wouldn't have wanted me to
dwell on it. He always tried to
tell me loosen up. |
|
|
|

ANGEL

|
|
|
ANGEL

|
|

|
|
LINDSAY
Alright Pete, enlighten us. |
|
|
|
PETER
Okay, get your drinks now because
I'm only telling this story
once.Vincent Banks used to own the
mill in town right?
(they nod)
Well do you know his true story?
He used to live down in the valley
in his nice little place.Anyway
three disgruntled workers followed
the Banks family home. They killed
his kids,raped and killed his wife
all while he watched. Then they
beheaded him. Poor guy had to see
his family be tortured and
murdered. They still say he roams
his property looking for those
responsible for the horrific
events that happened in the valley
111 years ago. |
|
|
|
|
|
LINDSAY
I heard that one before. My
grandpa used to tell it to us kids
all the time. He said they never
found the men responsible. |
|
|
|
WILL
Wouldn't it be fucked if the dude
we saw was him? |
|
|
|
ANGEL
Seriously that's enough guys.
We're still lost you know. |
|
|
|
WILL
Have faith Angel. We'll be out of
here tomorrow. |
|
|
MONTAGE DRINKING |
|
LINDSAY staggers up |
|
|
LINDSAY
Well I'm tired and maybe just
maybe just a tad bit drunk. So I'm
going to bed. How about you Will? |
|
|
30.
|
|
|
He gets up and they stagger off |
|
|
ANGEL
Get sleep you two. Come on honey,
let's go get you laid. |
|
|
WILL is down on all fours fumbling to get the door open
while LINDSAY is laughing at him. He gets it open and falls
in. LINDSAY stumbles in. He closes the door, turns and is
greeted by LINDSAY kissing him.She pushes him down. |
|
|
EXT. CAMP SITE - DAY |
|
Pete is the first to awaken. He unzips the tent, climbs out
and he stumbles through beer bottles on his way to the edge
of an overhang. He looks down on a small house with smoke
coming from the chimney. No car in the driveway. |
|
|
|
PETER walks over to WILL and LINDSAY'S tent |
|
|
PETER
Will, you awake bro? |
|
|
WILL is laying beside LINDSAY and is cuddling her with one
eye open |
|
|
|
|
PETER (OS)
You have to come look at this. |
|
|
|
WILL
Alright be there in a second

Lindsay)
I'll be back in a second. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
31.
|
WILL kisses LINDSAY,opens the door and climbs out. He's
wearing sleep pants and his boxers are sticking out at the
top, shirtless. Walks over to PETE. |
|
|
WILL
What is it Pete? What just
couldn't wait? |
|
|
|
|
PETE points to the house. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WILL
Well it looks like no one is home.
We need a phone or a better map of
the area. We gotta move. Go tell
Angel we leave in twenty minutes. |
|
|
|
PETER
So, how did you and Lindsay get
along last night? |
|
|
WILL walking away, turns around |
|
|
|
|
PETER
Don't do this to me brother you
owe me that much. |
|
|
|
EXT. CAMP SITE - MOMENTS LATER |
|
Angel is sitting on a log with her pack in front of her.
Pete is finishing up the tent. Lindsay is sitting beside
Angel, Will is squatting down in front of Angel. |
|
|
ANGEL
Why do we have to do this? |
|
|
|
WILL
We need a phone, map,a C B
anything. That place might have
it. |
|
|
32.
|
|
ANGEL
What if it belongs to that sick
fuck-O then what? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Then at least we know he isn't
home. |
|
|
|
WILL
It's not the best plan when you
think about it but what choice do
we have? We need whats in there.
Look we will be in pairs and no
longer than 10 minutes. I promise
we will be fine. |
|
|
Pete walks over throwing his pack on. |
|
|
PETER

|
|
|
ANGEL
Let's get it over with. |
|
|
|
EXT. BACK OF VINCE'S HOUSE - DAY |
|
The gang is in a small huddle. |
|
|
WILL
(Confident)

|
|
|
|
|
INT. BANK'S HOUSE - DAY |
|
Will walks in the front door holding Lindsay's hand. |
|
|
|
No answer is heard they continue slowly through the house.
The living room has pictures of the family that used to live
there. The smell is putrid. |
|
33.
|
|
WILL
What the hell happened here. |
|
|
They continue to search the house. An old school T.V is
showing an old black and white cartoon. They walk into the
kitchen. |
|
|
INT. BANK'S GARAGE - DAY |
|
Pete walks up with Angel, holding her hand. Pete puts his
hands on the garage door. |
|
|
PETER
You ready for this? |
|
|
|
|
He slides the door open, flicks a light switch near the door
and a hell opens up. The smell makes Angel puke. |
|
|
|
Pete rubs Angels back |
|
|
ANGEL
Just find what we need. |
|
|
Pete walks in cautiously. He notices three sacks hanging on
the wall. Pete goes over to them and grabs one. |
|
|
ANGEL
(worried)
No, Pete don't touch those. |
|
|
|
|
Pete lowers the sack to the ground. |
|
|
PETER
Jesus Christ, is there a moose in
here? |
|
|
PETE unties the top and slowly pulls it down, some hair is
showing. |
|
|
|
34.
|
He quickly jerks down the rest of the sack to reveal a human
head. |
|
|
|
He runs over to her and grabs her hand. |
|
|
ANGEL
Pete wait look......

a map. |
|
|
He runs back in, grabs the map, takes her hand an they run
toward the house. |
|
|
INT. KITCHEN - DAY |
|
Will goes towards the two covered plates, while Lindsay
walks to the stove. She sees a pot boiling, takes a spoon
and starts to stir it. She stirs it once and nothing, stirs
it a second time and an eye comes to the surface. Will has
his hand on the lid for one of the covered plates. |
|
|
LINDSAY
(scared)
Will come here quick please. |
|
|
|
WILL (OS)
(annoyed)
Just a sec |
|
|
Lindsay looks at him he breaths in and removes the cover to
reveal the head of one of the people in the pictures. His
eyes have been cut out. |
|
|
|
The two run towards the door and bump into Pete and Angel. |
|
|
PETER
Jesus Will can we get out of here,
something is definitely not right
here dude. We found a body. I got
the map can we go. |
|
|
|
|
A loud truck noise is heard |
|
35.
|
|
LINDSAY
Will that sounds very familiar. |
|
|
|
|
|
WILL
Well, it's what at least three
minutes away. |
|
|
The truck pulls into the driveway |
|
|
WILL
How we getting out of here? |
|
|
|
|
They make a break for the back door. Vince sees the door
open and runs into the house. Pete looking behind him locks
eyes with Vince. |
|
|
PETER
He saw us, go, go, go |
|
|
Will and Lindsay are running up the hill followed closely by
Pete and Angel with Vince gaining ground. |
|
|
PETER
He's gaining ground |
|
|
|
WILL
Let's split this bastard up. |
|
|
Will and Lindsay go right while Pete and Angel go left.
Vince follows right after Will. Vince keeps running hard. |
|
|
LINDSAY
He's just to fast Will. |
|
|
|
WILL
I see a place to hide. |
|
|
Will and Lindsay duck down behind a big downed tree. Vince
runs to the tree, stops, looks around and can't see them.
Will accidentally snaps a twig, Vince hears it and leans
over the tree at them, staring them in the face. |
|
|
EXT. CLEARING IN THE WOODS - DAY |
|
Pete and Angel stop running and look around |
|
36.
|
|
|
|
ANGEL
What the fuck just happened? |
|
|
|
PETER
I don't know, we gotta find them,
they could be in trouble. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
He grabs a club like stick and they run off. |
|
|
INT. BIG DOWNED TREE - MOMENTS LATER |
|
Will tries to cover Lindsay as much as possible while Vince
raises his machete. |
|
|
VINCE
Ah (beat) just what I like, his
and hers dinners |
|
|
Vince raises the machete high, and is about to slice Will. A
thud is heard and Vince falls backwards out of the shot.
Pete now stands over Will, he offers his hand to help them
up. |
|
|
|
|
WILL
Jesus Pete, have I told you lately
that I love you? |
|
|
Will grabs the hatchet and they jump over the tree and start
to run. |
|
|
EXT. WOODS - DAY |
|
Will leaning against a tree with Lindsay using Will as a
leaning post. Pete sitting on a rock with Angel laying at
his feet. |
|
|
PETER
I think we lost him. |
|
|
37.
|
|
|
|
WILL
(Frustrated)
No fucking clue. Shit! |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Okay, Pete you know the story. Was
that him? |
|
|
Lindsay sits down beside him |
|
|
PETER
(Serious)
You saw what was in there. My head
wants to tell me it was someone
using all that as a way to scare
trespassers off his property, but
you saw what I did. The smell, the
blood was real. You can fake blood
but you can't fake the smell of
death. My heart tells me it's the
real Vincent Banks. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
This is all bullshit. We're lost
and being hunted by someone or
something. |
|
|
Lindsay walks over to Will. |
|
|
LINDSAY
Come on Will, we can do this. |
|
|
|
WILL
(Frustrated)
How Lin, how? The map is no good
cause I have no idea where the
fuck we are. If this is the real
deal Vince we're fucked
regardless. So tell me Lin,
because right the fuck now it
makes no difference in the matter. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
All of that was uncalled for |
|
|
Lindsay walks away |
|
|
WILL
(Sympathetic)
I'm sorry. Look the sun sets in
the West and rises in the East.
(MORE)
|
|
38.
|
|
WILL (cont'd)
The town is East right? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Ya, so if we follow the sun we
should reach the road right? |
|
|
|
|
They head off. |
|
|
INT. VINCE'S KITCHEN - DAY |
|
Vince walks over to the stove and grabs an eye out. He walks
over to the map on the wall. He takes a bite of the eye as
thought it were an apple. Takes his finger and runs it along
the map. |
|
|
EXT. WILDERNESS - NIGHT |
|
Will is walking in front while Lindsay tags behind, then
Angel, and Pete last. They come to a thin edge over a 30
foot drop into jagged rocky water. |
|
|
ANGEL
Oh great how the fuck are we gonna
do this? |
|
|
Will takes a step back from the edge. |
|
|
LINDSAY
What's wrong Will? |
|
|
|
WILL
(Scared)
I hate heights. |
|
|
|
PETER
(in disbelief)
What? |
|
|
|
WILL
Yeah eh, believe it or not people
can actually have fears. |
|
|
Lindsay tries to comfort Will |
|
|
|
39.
|
|
WILL
(Determined)
No, no, I have to confront this
fear. |
|
|
|
|
|
WILL
Ya, Angel you alright to do this? |
|
|
|
ANGEL
What choice do I have? |
|
|
They get into a straight line |
|
|
WILL
Make sure you give each other
enough space. |
|
|
Will takes the first step out onto the ledge and starts to
shimmy his way across. Lindsay follows making her way
across, Angel follows her. Followed by Pete. |
|
|
|
Will is almost to the other side when Angel hits a faulty
edge and loses her balance. |
|
|
|
She grabs Lindsay's backpack as she tumbles over the edge,
taking Lindsay down with her. |
|
|
|
Lindsay has a hold of the edge while Angel has her legs. |
|
|
|
Will lays down and quickly grabs Lindsay's hand. |
|
|
WILL
(Frantic still)
Pete, you gotta find a way to get
Angel. I can't pull Lindsay up
with Angel on her. |
|
|
40.
|
|
PETER
(Confused)
Fuck man I don't know. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Wits end)
Hurry Will! I can't hang on much
longer. |
|
|
|
WILL
(Confident)
Look, Pete there's a ledge about
nine feet down. Slide down the
hill a little till you hit it. |
|
|
Pete slides down the cliff carefully till his feet hit the
ledge. |
|
|
|
|
WILL
Shimmy over to her and pull her
down. |
|
|
Pete moves over to Angel, he grabs her legs and pulls her
down. Pete holds her on the ledge. Will's grip is loosening
on Lindsay. |
|
|
LINDSAY
(Scared)
Please Will, don't let go. |
|
|
The hand is almost out of Will's he quickly lowers both
hands, Lindsay grabs his hand with her free hand. He slowly
pulls her up. He kisses her as she reaches the top. |
|
|
PETER
Hey Will? Now what? |
|
|
Angel is leaning against the wall. She is up against a
spiders nest and hundreds of spiders pour out and all over
her. She screams. |
|
|
PETER
(Worried)
Angel?
(Notices the
spiders)
Shit, Angel! |
|
|
Starts to brush them off of her, but they start to crawl on
him too. |
|
41.
|
|
WILL
Quick Pete, boost her up
(Beat)
Help me Lindsay |
|
|
Lindsay leans down and holds her hand out with Wills. Pete
boosts Angel up, she grabs their hands and they pull her up. |
|
|
WILL
Pete. you gotta jump brother. |
|
|
The spiders start to bite. He's trying to brush them off,
but there is to many of them. |
|
|
|
He loses his balance. |
|
|
|
Pete regains his balance. Fighting the pain, he jumps once
and misses their hands. Vince walks out of a hidden tunnel,
right beside Pete. |
|
|
WILL
(Seeing Vince)
Pete beside you! |
|
|
|
|
Vince slams an axe into Pete's chest. Pete falls down off
the edge onto the rocks. Will looks down with a blank stare.
Angel in shambles while Lindsay tried to console her. Vince
looks up and locks eyes with Will and slowly turns back into
his tunnel. |
|
|
EXT. SMALL CLEARING - DAY |
|
Will runs into the shot with Lindsay and Angel who just
collapses. |
|
|
ANGEL
(Despair)
No more, I'm done! |
|
|
Lindsay runs back to her. |
|
42.
|
|
LINDSAY
(Comforting)
Come on Angel. We have to keep
moving. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
I want Pete back. I don't want to
go any further. I just want Pete! |
|
|
|
WILL
Look, Pete died making sure you
lived. Now we have to keep moving
so he doesn't die for nothing. |
|
|
Angel reaches her hand up. Will and Lindsay help her up.
They turn and see Vince right in front of them. |
|
|
LINDSAY
(shocked)
Jesus Christ |
|
|
He stares them down and back them up to a steep hill and a
drop full of trees. |
|
|
ANGEL
Will, got any ideas? |
|
|
|
WILL
(Self-doubt)
I got one. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Worried)
Will it work? |

WILL
It's worth a shot isn't it. |
|
|
Vince is about to swing. |
|
|
|
They throw their bodies down the hill. They tumble and roll
down the hill, head over heels. Vince just watches as they
fall. He walks off screen. Will slams rib first into an oak
and passes out. |
|
|
43.
|
EXT. WOODS - DAY |
|
Lindsay and Angel start to come too. Angel makes it to her
feet first, looks around. She sees Lindsay dazed on her
back. She hobbles over to her. |
|
|
ANGEL
(Groggy)
Lindsay, you alright hun? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Sitting up)
Will? Where is he? |
|
|
Angel helps her up |
|
|
ANGEL

I don't know. He must have gotten
caught up on something. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Moves at the hill)
We have to find him. He could be
hurt. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
(Holds her back)
Lindsay |
|
|
|
|
She tries to shake herself free. |
|
|
LINDSAY
Let me go dammit! Angel, let me
go! |
|
|
Angel just holds onto her until Lindsay turns into her
crying. |
|
|
ANGEL
(Comforting)
Lindsay look, You know the area a
lot better then me. I know it's
not easy but I need you to focus.
We need to get out of here. |
|
|
Lindsay nods in agreement. |
|
44.
|
|
LINDSAY
(Gaining Composure)
I'm good. Let's go. |
|
|
They start to make their way east. |
|

Will starting to come too. He rubs his head sits up holding
his ribs then uses the tree to stand up |
|
|
WILL
(In pain)
Lindsay?
(Beat)
Angel? Shit! |
|
|
He gets a stick to use as a support for his ribs. He hobbles
down the hill in search of the girls. |
|
|
INT. BANK'S HOUSE - NIGHT |
|
Vince enters the house and drops his hatchet on the table. |
|
Walks over to his work bench, knocks everything off of it.
He slams a map down, unrolls it. |
|
He takes a close look at it. Runs his finger along a path
while laughing diabolically |
|
Walks over to a wall full of knives and axes. he grabs a
bunch and walks out the front door. |
|
|
EXT. WOODED TRAIL - NIGHT |
|
SUN IS JUST BELOW TREES. |
|
Angel sticking close to Lindsay as she pauses for a moment. |
|
|
LINDSAY
Angel, do you have a flashlight in
your pack? |
|
|
|
ANGEL
(Wondering)
I think so just let me check. |
|
|
She slides her pack off her shoulders, sits it on a rock.
Unzips it and rummages through it. |
|
45.
|
|
|
She tries to turn it on, nothing at first. She smacks it and
it lights up. |
|
|
|
She hand her the light. |
|
|
LINDSAY
We gotta find a spot to camp for
the night. It's too dangerous to
go much further right now. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
(Skeptical)
Do you even know how to make a
fire? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Of course, told you I love
camping. |
|
|
They come to a gap in the ground. |
|
|
ANGEL
(Sarcastic)
Now what? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Analyzing)
Well, that log is way to shifty to
cross. It might be jump-able. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
(Pissed off)
Jump-able? That's all you can call
it? Jump-able? Ya for you! Your
what, One- Hundred ten pounds
soaking wet? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Confident)
Trust me Angel, you can do this. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
(Worried)
Can't we just set up camp here for
the night? Daylight we might be
able to see another way around it. |
|
|
46.
|
|
LINDSAY
I didn't bring this up, cause I
didn't want to freak you out but,
we just passed about twenty rattle
snakes. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
(Freaked)
What?!
(Looks at her feet)
Why didn't you.. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Cuts her off)
Shh. Look we have to jump this or
I don't know. We can't back track
or go side to side. With that many
snake this turns into a mine
field. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
(At the edge)
Can't we just climb down and up
the other side? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
If you want to freeze you ass of
tonight. It's a stream down there.
We have to jump this now, while we
have some light left. |
|
|
Lindsay walks over to the edge and throws her pack over.
Gives the flashlight to Angel. She takes a step back then
runs at the jump and springs across it. She lands in a roll. |
|
|
ANGEL
Did you make it okay? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Getting up)
Yeah I'm good, throw the
flashlight over. |
|
|
Angel tosses it over and Lindsay catches it, then Angel
tosses her pack over. |
|
|
LINDSAY
(Encouraging)
Ok Angel, you got this. |
|
|
47.
|
Angel takes a couple steps back and runs at the gap, She
explodes into the jump and lands on the other side one leg
hanging over the edge. She grazed a sharp rock and ripped
her leg open. |
|
|
ANGEL
(In extreme pain)
Fuck! |
|
|
Lindsay runs over and rolls Angel over away from the edge
and shines the light on her leg. |
|
|
LINDSAY
Jesus that looks painful. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
(Breathing deep)
It definitly doesn't tickle. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Ok just keep breathing deep, I
know some first aid. |
|
|
She rips the bottom of her shirt off and ties it around
Angels leg to stop the bleeding. |
|
|
LINDSAY
That's the best I can do. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
It helps I just wanna get out of
here |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Well let's set up here and move
out at the first crack of
daylight. |
|

|
his light into the tent and sees Sara and Tiffany huddled in
the corner rocking back and forth with their eyes red and
their faces soaked from crying. They back away from him
screaming |
|
|
WILL
Sara? Tiffany? What the hell? |
|
|
Tiffany crawls over to him, and hugs him. |
|
|
TIFFANY
I'm so scared, I thought you were
him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WILL
What the hell are you doing here? |
|
|
|
TIFFANY
(Emotional)
We were giving Greg a birthday
party, away from everything. It
was all going good, then he showed
up massacred everybody, Greg, oh
my god. Why did he kill Greg? |
|
|
Sara crawls over to her and hugs her. |
|
|
WILL
Is there anyone else? |
|
|
|
TIFFANY
No we are all that's left. Will I
just want to go home. |
|
|
|
WILL
I know. We'll go find Lindsay then
get the fuck out of here okay, I
promise.
(Looks at Sara)
Let's go get your sister. |
|
|
Will helps the girls out of the tent. Sara pauses. |
|
|
WILL
Come on Sara, let's go. |
|
|

|
|

Angel is sitting on her sleeping bag facing the fire.
Lindsay walks over to her carrying some berries. |
|
|
LINDSAY
These are all I could find. |
|
|
She sits down beside Angel. She dumps them on a pack in
between them. |
|
|
ANGEL
I just wanna drink, go home, and
try to move past all of this. |
|
|
|
|
She reaches into her pack, pulls out two beer |
|
|
ANGEL
How did they survive? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
I wrapped in my clothes, wise
choice eh? |
|
|
Lindsay hands one to her, they open them |
|
|
LINDSAY
To Will and Pete. They gave their
lives so we could have a chance to
live. |
|
|
She cries, they clang their bottles and drink |
|
50.
|
|
ANGEL
(Wiping her eyes)
I'll be right back, just gotta
pee. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY

(Hands Angel the
flashlight)
Be careful |
|
|
|
|
|
EXT. SIDE TRAIL - NIGHT |
|
Angel walks down a little side trail, finds a spot, walks in
the tall grass, unzips her pants and is about to pull them
down when a light beam moves above her head. |
|
|
ANGEL
Um
(beat)
what the fuck? |
|
|
She zips up her pants and turns the flashlight on. The other
beam is seen coming toward her in a hurry. Angel takes off
back toward Lindsay. |
|
|
EXT. MINI SITE - NIGHT |
|
Angel comes running up to the fire |
|
|

|
|

ANGEL
It's Vince
(Beat)
Hide |
|
|
51.
|
Angel hides in the darkness behind a mighty oak. Lindsay
goes the opposite direction and hides behind a rock. The
other flashlight enters the scene shinning the light
everywhere franticly. It shows the fire and the sleeping
bags. It walks towards Angel. Lindsay realizing her friend
might be in danger grabs a big rock and starts to sneak up
behind the other light. Just as the other light is about to
reveal Angel Lindsay smashes the rock into the back of the
light holder. |
|
|
LINDSAY
Will, oh my god I'm sorry.
(Beat)
Sara? |
|
|
|
WILL
(Rubbing his back)
I found her at an abandoned camp. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
What are you doing here? |
|
|
|
|
Lindsay helps Will over to the fire. Angel helps Sara and
Tiffany. They all sit down. |
|
|
LINDSAY
I've got all night for the story. |
|
|
|
SARA
I came here with some friends for
the weekend. Everything was going
great. We were drinking, having a
good time, Then he showed up. At
first we didn't think much of him.
We thought it was a joke.
(She tears up)
Till he tortured Greg and
massacred everyone with a machete.
We tried to get away but we were
the only ones who did. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
How many were with you? |
|
|
|
SARA
Ten. He hunts, he kills you before
you know you're dead. |
|
|
|
|
52.
|
Lindsay hugs Sara. |
|
|
WILL
Sun up we are all getting out of
here I promise. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
(Frustrated)
How Will? Let's face it here, none
of us know where the hell we are.
This
(Beat)
thing, monster, person, whatever
the fuck you want to call it,
won't let us live. Don't believe
me? Ask Pete or anyone of the ten
that cam here with her, oh, that's
right there all dead. After a
short time we will be too. Don't
you get it Will? This is his turf.
We are all trespassing. |
|
|
|
WILL
Angel look.
(Pulls out the
cell phone)
I'll be able to call the cops in
the morning and I found a trail
from that camp site. It has to
lead to a car or something. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
Why call in the morning? Why not
now? |
|
|
|
WILL
(Annoyed)
Because there's no signal. I don't
feel like climbing a rock cut at
night. Do you? |
|
|
|
|
|
WILL
Exactly, we get some sleep and we
bounce first thing in the morning. |
|
|
They lay down. Tiffany gets close to Lindsay as she snuggles
up to Will. Angel shares her sleeping bag with Sara. They
doze off. |
|
53.
|
Vince watches the group doze off, smirks, and walks away. |
|
|
EXT. MINI-SITE - LATER |
|
Angel awakes to a wolves howl. She sits up and wakes Sara up
in the process. |
|
|
|
|
ANGEL
(Whispers)
Hang on, Lindsay?
(Whispers louder)
Lindsay? |
|
|
|
|
Angel starts to get up. |
|
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Well, hang on. I have to get Will
up. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
No, I've been thinking. When we
split up back at the house, who
did he go after? Will. When we
hid, who did he get close too?
Will. When we got separated from
Will, have we seen Vince? I think
if we stay here with him we're
sitting ducks for Vince. |
|
|
|
SARA
(Piping up)
When I was with Will I didn't see
Vince. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Thinking)
What you said does make sense
Angel. But no I won't leave him,
it's not right. I love him. |
|
|
54.
|
|
ANGEL
(Grabs a light and
the map)
I'm sorry you feel that way. I'll
get to the car, I'll get to the
cops and maybe just maybe you
still be alive when they get here.
Sara you staying here to die or
you gonna be smart and come with
me? |
|
|
|
SARAH
Sorry Angel. I'm sticking with my
sis. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Pleading)
Come on Angel. Don't do this. You
can't survive the woods let alone
Vince. |
|
|
|
ANGEL
(Bending down to
Lindsay)
I don't want to die. It's a damn
shame you and Sara do. |
|
|
She heads off Lindsay just lowers her head. |
|
|
LINDSAY
She'll be back in about five
minutes. |
|
|
|
EXT. TRAIL - NIGHT |
|
Angel walking down the trail, trying to watch where she is
going while reading the map. She's getting frustrated
tripping over roots. She hears a noise, she quickly turns
around. |
|
|
ANGEL
I'd knew you would change your
mind |
|
|
She sees nothing. |
|
|
ANGEL
Lindsay? Sara? Hello? This isn't
funny anymore! |
|
|
55.
|
A hacking noise is heard. She wonders off the path in search
of it. She keeps hearing it getting louder and louder. She
gets to where it should be, but theres nothing. |
|
|
ANGEL
I'm getting to old for this shit. |
|
|
She takes a step back and bumps into something. She feels
behind her. She feels Vince's hair. She turns and sees
Vince. She screams and starts to run. Vince quickly grabs
her by the hair. He pulls her down. He raises his clever. |
|
|
EXT. MINI-SITE - NIGHT |
|
Will, Lindsay, Tiffany and Sara awaken to Angel's scream. |
|
|
WILL
(Startled)
What the fuck? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Angel! She took off. |
|
|
He slides his shoes on as does the other two. They take off
down the trail. |
|
|
EXT. TRAIL - NIGHT |
|
They are franticly searching for Angel. |
|
|
ANGEL (OS)
Will! Lindsay! |
|
|
|
WILL
Hang on Angel we're coming! |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Worried)
Is she okay, oh god Will tell me
she's okay? |
|
|
|
WILL
(Annoyed)
I don't know. We gotta keep
moving. |
|
|
They run into an open area, where they see Angel tied up to
two pine trees. |
|
56.
|
|
ANGEL
Guys hang on, don't move closer.
The trigger for this somewhere out
there. |
|
|
|
WILL
(Calming)
Just be cool, Angel. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
We will find away to get you out
of this. |
|
|
Will is watching his feet to look where he's stepping.
Lindsay and Sara are following his steps. Will steps over a
wire but Lindsay trips it. A loud click is heard. |
|
|
WILL
See nothing happened. It's just
for show. |
|
|
Lindsay sees Vince walk through the fog. |
|
|
LINDSAY
No Will, it's a trap. He's here. |
|
|
Will steps in front of Sara and Lindsay. |
|
|
WILL
Lindsay, you and Sara get Angel
down. I'll take him |
|
|
Lindsay and Sara run to Angel, when the pine trees spring
back to the upward state ripping Angel in two. Blood and
guts now cover Sara and Lindsay. Lindsay screams. |
|
Will looks at Lindsay. Vince uses that and blindsides Will
with a right hand to the temple. Knocks him down. |
|
Lindsay jumps on Vince's back with a headlock. He tosses her
off of him. She bangs her head hard on the ground. |
|
|
SARA
Hey asshole! That's my sister. |
|
|
She runs at Vince. He back hands her across the face, she
falls and crawls over to Lindsay. |
|
|
TIFFANY
Leave my family alone! |
|
|
Tiffany breaks a branch over Vince's back. That does nothing
but grab Vince's attention. He turns to her, backs her down.
|
57.
|
Will sees his sister in danger and tries to get up. Vince
grabs Tiffany and turns her to face Will. |
|
|
TIFFANY
(Pleading)
No, please Will! Help! |
|
|
Will fighting to get up. He runs at Vince, lunges, and Vince
sidesteps Will. Will crashes hard. Again he gets up, this
time Vince wastes no time and slowly slices Tiffany's
throat. |
|
Vince drops her lifeless body. |
|
|
VINCE
Then there was one. |
|
|
|
WILL
No, no you son of a bitch! Why! |
|
|
Will gets up and punches Vince twice in the face, then a
left but Vince counters with an upper cut. Will flies back
and grabs a big stick. He lures Vince into him. |
|
|
WILL
Come on you motherfucker. |
|
|
Vince takes an over head swing at Will with an Axe. Will
blocks it with the club. |
|
Vince take another swing, but it's blocked again by Will
rolling to the side, another swing and Will rolls to the
left, kicks Vince to knock him back. |
|
Will quickly gets up and kicks the Axe out of Vince's hand.
Will knees him in the face and knocks him down. Will grabs
the Axe. Vince gets up and lunges at Will. Will ducks it and
bashes the back end of the Axe of Vince's head twice. Vince
falls over and Will runs to the girls. |
|
|
WILL
(Lifting Lindsay's
head)
It's done baby. It's all over. |
|
|
|
|
He nods, the group hugs. Sara sees Vince right behind Will. |
|
|
|
58.
|
Vince grabs Will by the shoulder and picks him up. He throws
and holds him by the neck against a tree. He raises his
clever. |
|
Lindsay in the background picking up Axe |
|
|
LINDSAY (OS)
(Angry)
This is for my friends, bitch! |
|
|
She swings the Axe and slams into the back of Vince's head. |
|
|
|
She drops the Axe, and starts to cry. Will pulls her in for
a hug and then pulls Sara in too. |
|
Sara reaches into her pocket, and pulls out the cell phone
and see it has reception. |
|
|
|
Will smiles a little, grabs it and starts to dial. |
|
|
INT. POLICE STATION - DAY |
|
Will, Lindsay, and Sara are sitting in an office all banged
up, with blankets to get warm. DETECTIVE STEVENS walks in
with three hot chocolates. He puts them down in front of the
three. |
|
|
DETECTIVE
I don't know what happened out
there kids, but those bodies you
talked about aren't there. Vincent
Banks, the man you said killed
your friends? Has been dead since
1898. That "house" was tore down
in 2003. Like I said I don't know
what happened out there, but I
believe you. |
|
|
Will puts down his hot chocolate. |
|
|
WILL
(Disbelief)
That's impossible! Did you not see
the footage on our friends camera? |
|
|
59.
|
|
DETECTIVE
The footage we obtained of your
friend, Pete's camera was just
some scrambled white noise and
some static. That's it. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
But,I killed him with my own two
hands. |
|
|
|
SARAH
How the hell? Nothing makes sense
it's like nothing happened. |
|
|
|
DETECTIVE
(Getting up)
Just be glad you survived. Your
parents are outside waiting for
you. Your free to go. |
|
|
|
EXT. POLICE STATION - DAY |
|
They walk out of the station, where the girl's parents are
standing at the bottom of the stairs. Lindsay kisses Will
then joins her sister going down the stairs. |
|
The girls hug their mom, as their dad opens the back door of
the car. He nods at Will as he shuts the door. Will waves
back and they drive off. |
|
|
INT. LINDSAY'S KITCHEN - NIGHT |
|
Sara is standing at the counter making a sandwich. She gets
a text message. |
|
She licks the knife and answers the message. PAYDAY the dog
is scratching at the door. |
|
|
|
She walks to the door and opens it. |
|
The dog runs out. |
|
Sara notices something moving in the bushes. The dog is also
barking at the bushes. |
|
|
SARAH
Payday! That's enough boy! |
|

Mrs. Taylor. Each has a coffee. |
|
|
MOM
(skeptic)
Lindsay explain it all to us one
more time. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Annoyed)
I told you mom, a million times
already. |
|
|
|
DAD
We know hunny. It doesn't make
sense. Vince is just a myth, like
Bigfoot or the female orgasm. |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
(Grossed out)
Really dad! |
|
|
|
DAD
What? You try to find it. |
|
|
A loud crash is heard. |
|
|
INT. KITCHEN - DAY |
|
They run into the kitchen and see Sara laying on the counter
with a gash on her neck, |
|
|
MOM
(sobbing)
No, my baby girl! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Will and Lindsay stare at the door while her parents kneel
over Sara. Vince suddenly appears in the doorway. |
|
61.
|
|
LINDSAY
(Disbelief)
Vince? |
|
|
He has a butcher knife and throws it at Lindsay but Mr.
Taylor jumps in front of it. |
|
|
|
|
|
Will grabs Lindsay's arm and pulls her and her mom towards
the Living Room. |
|
|
|
|
WILL
Is there a way out from your room? |
|
|
|
LINDSAY
Ya, theres a ladder from my window
to the driveway. |
|
|
Will sends the ladies up the stairs first then he follows. |
|
Vince grabs Will's leg, but he kicks free. |
|
Vince then grabs Mrs. T as he gets to the top of the stairs. |
|
|
LINDSAY
(Horror)
Will, my mom! |
|
|
Will lunges at Vince, but he ducks and Will falls down the
stairs. |
|
Vince still holding Mrs. T, looks at Lindsay, and cuts her
mom's neck. |
|
She falls down lifeless. Vince turn his attention to
Lindsay. |
|
He stalks her back into her room. He has her backed up onto
her bed. |
|
Will makes it back up the stairs. |
|
Vince turns to him with the clever to Lindsay's throat. Will
stops. |
|
62.
|
|
|
|
WILL
How do you know my last name? |
|
|
Vince tightens his grip on a squirming Lindsay. |
|
|
VINCE
I know all there is to know about
you and your family. It appears
you don't. Do you know my past? |
|
|
|
|
|
VINCE
(Angry)
Well, I know who did my family in!
It was your great grandfather! He
raped and killed my wife while
they made me watch. Now Will, you
get to live my fate. I will do to
you what your granddad did to me! |
|
|
He turns Lindsay around, and throws her on the bed. He keeps
the clever to her neck. |
|
Will sprints at Vince and tackales him off Lindsay. |
|
Vince falls off the bed, and his clever slides under the
bed. |
|
Will helps Lindsay off the bed and leads her to the window. |
|
She opens it and gets on the roof. She leans in to help
Will. |
|
Vince looking for his weapon but all he finds are scissors.
He gets up and runs at Will. He stabs him in the side and
Will falls back into the room. |
|
|
VINCE
Alright then, Will. Looks like I

towards the window. Lindsay looks at Vince, then down at the
cleaver. She picks it up. Vince is about to stab Will with
the scissors and raises them high. Suddenly Vince coughs up
blood as the tip of the cleaver is seen poking out of his
chest. He falls limp off of Will. |

A descent horror script, liked some of it, although there are spelling errors in the script. Aside from that, it does deliver from what I've read. A rarity, but a true scare fest. |

As I read it, I found many spelling and punctuation errors. The dialog is okay and I like the plot. |
