Every family has its demons. Taglines
Benjamin Price
[edit]- [voice-over] This is Dr. Benjamin Price, Professor of Ancient History. Log number four. The fabled Necronomicon, the Book of the Dead, is not just a myth. The Circle of the Wise Men have found it. And despite my warnings, they read from the book's unholy passages, unleashing flesh-possessing demons, so malevolent... as though the devil himself were here. God help us. Log number five. We found something. An item of great power capable of sending them back to hell. Should they return, I've hidden it behind rune and hex. It must remain that way, for if unsealed, they will sense it. They will smell its call in the earth, taste it on the air. And then they will stop at nothing... to destroy it.
Alice Price
[edit]- [reading out journal entries] October, 1983. That cursed Book of the Dead. I warned them against reading from it. The forbidden incantation. Four words that can unleash evil. But they didn't listen. December, 1983. At last, I have found it. A weapong thast can stop them all. A dagger created by the Circle of the Wise Men. The tiniest cut from this ancient blade rips their demonic souls from their bodies. I've hidden it, but now must leave again. These creatures are hunting me and I must protect my wife and daughters. [reading out titles of paper sheets] Kunda... Astratta... Montosse... oh, fuck this. [resurrected family dog Max bursts through garden shed window]
- Cheers. To protect your family.
- Fuck your family.
Susan Price
[edit]- I would give anything for us to be together again.
- Will's looking down on us from above.
- [after getting possessed by Deadite Edgar] You haven't kissed me like that in years.
Polly
[edit]- [riding up stairs when hearing Deadite Thya attacking Joseph] I told you she was a thief!
- [to Alice] Don't turn a deaf earǃ I asked you a questionǃ
Deadite Polly
[edit]- [holding Alice's face onto a branch trimmer] I'm just giving you what you want. I know you liked it when Will hurt youǃ Isn't that why you stayed? Don't turn a deaf earǃ I asked you a questionǃ [to Susan crawling towards them] Susan, dear. Would you mind pushing the throttle to tear this bitch's face off, please? She brought chaos into this family. Your son died because of her. Do it. For Will. Do itǃ Do itǃ [Alice stabs Polly in the face]
Ellie
[edit]- Mommy's back.
Thya
[edit]- Promise me we'll never get married, okay?
Deadite Thya
[edit]- To your perfect family. [drinks molten candle wax]
- [hanging from ceiling to Alice] You thought I'd let you have all the men in this family to yourself?
- [referring to Joseph] Susan, Stop coddling the boy. He has something we need.
- [after attacking Joseph] Give us what we came for!
- [To Joseph holding an electric turkey carving knife] Oh, so you're brave now?
- Boo! [causes Joseph to fall onto sharp cutlery of dishwasher]
- [leans over Joseph] I was our first. And I'll make sure I'm your last.
- [after Joseph stabs her in the neck with a corkscrew] So you wouldn't shoot your father... but killing me is easy?
Will
[edit]- [in Alice's flashbacks] You are driving me fucking crazy! Without me, you are nothing, Alice! That's your fucking problem! WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE A FUCKING KID! YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU FUCKING WANT!
Deadite Will
[edit]- Did you stay because you liked it? Or you were too much of a coward to leave me? Look at you now. You still can't leave. Remember the last thing you said to me? "Go to hell." You got your wish. I shouldn't have hurt you, Alice. I should have killed you. This is where I promised I'd always be with you. Where I promised that not even death would do us part. I will keep my promise, Alice. 'Cause without me... you are nothing.
Deadite Edgar
[edit]- You should be dead. Not Will.
Dialogue
[edit]- Jessica: [Will just ended up in a car accident after hitting Jessica on the road] Will... we found you. Now, lead us to your family. [Jessica's decapitated head falls down and rolls to its side, smiling]
- Will: The fuck?
- Jessica: Kunda. [everything in Will's car shuts down] Astratta.
- Will: [Will's seatbelt tightens] Fuck!
- Jessica: Montosse.
- Will: [the car immediately catches fire] Help! Help me! Help! Help! Help! Help!
- Jessica: Canda. [the car completely engulfs in flames, burning Will alive]
- Susan: When we gave you this place, I asked you to throw everything away. Why are his things still here?
- Joseph: I just wanted to keep something from Grandpa. It felt like I was throwing him away.
- Susan: He threw us away.
- Joseph: No, I know. It's just... I mean, some of this stuff, it's fascinating, you know?
- Susan: [turns on tape recorder]
ːBenjaminː Unleashing flesh-possessing demons so malevolent as though the devil himself were here.
- Susan: Does that sound fascinating to you?
- Joseph: It's just inspiration for my book.
- Susan: Your book is about Grandpa?
- Joseph: No, not him... his research I mean. Come on. Curses, and demons... [Susan picks up and opens notebook] I found all kinds of crazy artifacts he brought back from around the world, and apparently he was part of some secret society.
- Susan: It was a cult.
- Joseph: They were historians, you know... And he recorded everything in his notebook. Look, I was gonna tell you.
- Susan: [crumples polaroid of Benjamin] No, let me tell you. My father was not a good man, Joseph.
- Joseph: Mom...
- Susan: When my mom's mind started to go, he retreated. [starts ripping down pin up sketches] Spent more time with the Circle of the Wise Men than us. Always off on some expedition, buried in some stupid old book. When Aunt Bonnie got sick, that's when he left us for good. Hunting for rusty weapons. Crumbling scrolls. He said he had to find a way to protect us from evil. All he every did was talk like that because he didn't have the courage to face real hardship. I had to take care of this family.
- Joseph: I'm sorry, Mom.
- Deadite Edgar: My family will...
- Alice: Fuck your family.
- Deadite Thya: [banging a hole in basement door] Please, open the door.
- Polly: Did you come back to return what you stole?
- Deadite Thya: Uh... oh, exactly! [Polly unlocks basement door]
- Alice: [calls to Joseph when being attacked by Deadite Thya] Help!
- Deadite Thya: Don't bother, babe! That's not his style!
- Polly: Come here, young lady! I have what you want!
- Deadite Thya: [to Joseph] Be right back, babe.
- Polly: [Deadite Thya walks up stairs] The money's under my mattress! Take it, and leave us alone!
- Deadite Thya: [pokes Polly's forehead] Aw. It's all broked in here. But there is something that we want in that little head of yours. Your husband must have told you where it is. Huh? [takes out Polly's dentures, licks it and puts it back in Polly's mouth] Boop. [pats Polly's jaw] This will fix you. [lifts up Polly's shift to reveal her leg stump] Polly? Where's your leg? [Susan attacks Deadite Thya sending her down stairs] That little... [Joseph attacks Deadite Thya with dishwasher door] The Circle of the Wide Men failed. Your grandpa failed. You'll all die tonight.
- Alice: You should be grateful I didn't leave you back there! Don't you dare move!
- Susan: Grateful? My family is gone. Everyone I love is gone because of you. All you've ever done is bring us pain. I hate you.
- Alice: Oh, shut up, Susan! Shut the fuck up! I didn't bring anything to your family, it was already there! [lifts up her shirt to show her burn scar] You see this? You see, Susan? This is your son. This is what he was capable of.
- Susan: It was an accident!
- Alice: No, it wasn't! It was not and you knew! You knew, Susan. You deserve everything that's happened to you. Every fucking thing. But you know what? It's behind me now. I don't give a shit anymore. [goes to start up the buzzsaw]
- Deadite Susan: You're right. Your past is behind you. Right... right behind you, like a shadow. Can't escape it. Just when you think you're safe... healed... when you breathe a quivering sigh... my son will be there. As a husband should. And he will burn you down... like the whore you are! YOU WILL BE DEAD BY DAWN!
- Alice: Joe, what's the Circle of the Wise Men?
- Joseph: I didn't think that it was real.
- Alice: Stop hiding stuff and just tell me. I saw those fucked up drawings you threw out.
- Joseph: Did Will ever tell you about our grandfather? Growing up, we were always told he was unstable. In his journals, he described it as this group convinced the devil had been here and would return if anyone read from what he called the... The Book of the Dead. My grandfather left his family to travel the world, researching and collecting artifacts as protection from all this.
- Alice: You still have them?
- Joseph: My mom asked me to throw everything away after he died, but... No, no, no. Fuck! She asked, but I didn't. There's still some stuff hidden up in the attic. And Thya, that thing inside her said they were looking for something. Maybe whatever that is, it can stop them.
- Polly: [as Susan is putting Polly to bed] Can you look under the bed? Daddy always checks to make sure there aren't any monsters.
- Susan: [looks under the bed and back up at Polly] No monsters.
- Polly: You're lying.
- Susan: Don't worry, you're safe here. [kisses Polly on the forehead and goes to leave] Goodnight, mom.
- Deadite Polly: [as Susan is leaving, Polly sits straight up] Goodnight, Susan.
- Susan: What did you call me? [turns to a levitating Polly]
- Deadite Polly: Come, sweetheart
- Susan: [hugs her] Mom. I missed you. I missed you so much.
- Deadite Polly: We share the same dream. It can still come true. The whole family can be reunited. Will's already on his way. He'll be here soon. Don't be scared Susan. [Susan pulls sheet off Polly's head and turns to Edgar knocking on window] Remember what you said at the funeral. That you would give everything you have for us all to be together again. [Susan opens window drapes to see Edgar] Without your family you are nothing.
- Deadite Edgar: I miss you. I miss us. [Susan opens and lets Edgar in who kisses her]
- Susan: You haven't kissed me like that in years.
- Joseph: Hey, is... is Grandma ok? Everything good?
- Deadite Susan: Yes, everything's better now. I need you to trust me.
- Joseph: Trust you?
- Deadite Susan: They're not our enemies. I realize that now. They just want something back that my father stole. I told you, he was a bad man. It's simple. Tell them where it is. Give them what they want, and this ends. We can be happy again.
- Joseph: Where what is?
- Deadite Susan: A weapon.
- Joseph: But we threw everything away.
- Deadite Susan: You're lying to me. Tell us where it is.
- Joseph: Us?
- Deadite Susan: Where is the Kandarian dagger?ǃ [lightbulbs pop and deadite Edgar attacks Joseph]
- Deadite Edgar: You need to stop meddling in our family affairs.
- Deadite Susan: You promisedǃ You promised not to hurt himǃ
- Deadite Edgar: Finally some use for this revolting piece of shitǃ Finally something you can be proud ofǃ Nothing will stand in our way now. Once we have the dagger...
- Edgar: Will's dead. And now you inflict this on us?
- Joseph: That's enough. Dad, you don't look good...
- Edgar: [cutting him off] It's your fault he's dead. You didn't stop him getting to the car!
- Joseph: Stop it, Dad! I had nothing to do with it! Will got into a fight with Alice, and he...
- Alice: What? Are you implying it was my fault?
- Joseph: No, no, of course not.
- Alice: You were there. You couldn't stop him from getting in the car either.
- Joseph: I know. Alice, I know, I tried.
- Alice: We tried.
- Joseph: Okay, I didn't...
- Alice: Doesn't mean it's my fault.
- Joseph: That's not what I'm saying.
- Alice: It's exactly what you said.
- Joseph: Alice, no.
- Susan: Alice, I think...
- Alice: No. I think you should all mind your own business. You don't know anything.
- Edgar: You're glad he's dead.
- Susan: Please, please, please. Will's looking down on us from above.
- Edgar: From above? He's down below. [grabs a fork and stabs Max to death]
- Deadite Will: I love you.
- Alice: That is not enough.
- Paramedic: [referring to facial injuries] Who did this to you?
- Alice: [after a pause] My ex-husband.
