Yeah, come on.

- Alright, alright,

alri-- Do a little

director of the BTS.

- So Daniel, what brings

you to this film set today?

Is it the crappy script, the

terrible catered lunches,

or the hot naked chicks?

Ooh, a lot of reasons, um.

Well, I always thought I'd be

an award-winning filmmaker.

You know, my name up there

with Kubrick, Spielberg,

Whitaker.

You know, my mom thought so too.

- Oh, I love your mom,

she's a sweet lady.

She is a sweet lady.

No, but instead I

get to document

this piece of sh-, piece of art.

How lucky am I?

Okay, everyone, we are back,

we are back!

- And how about

this spooky location?

Have you seen any spooky ghosts?

Well, you know what?

I was not a believer before,

but I have been converted.

I have been delivered.

Can I get an amen?

- Amen.

Amen.

You know, one thing has been

proven today,

beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Ghosts are real,

real horse sh*t.

Oh my god.

- Casper just

flew off the balcony.

- What?

- Grab the camera.

Sh*t.

Holy sh*t, holy sh*t.

- Daniel come on,

get down here.

Casper! Everyone back up, okay,

back up!

Someone get on the

walkie right now.

Notify base camp.

We need an ambulance now.

Come on man.

What is that?

I don't know.

All the walkies are mal--

[ominous ringing]

Casper, come on, buddy.

Come on buddy, stay with me.

We're gonna get you some help.

Someone get the f*** on

your phone and dial 911.

- Mine's dead.

- Mine too.

I know it was charged.

- Mine's dead.

- What, no!

No, no, no, Casper, Casper!

- What the f***?

- Daniel.

Daniel.

Daniel!

Come one man, not now.

- What, what ...

You are not welcome here!

You must leave here at once!

These people are not here to

harm you

or disturb you in any way.

You must leave them alone,

in the name of the Father and

the Son and the Holy Spirit.

This is ridiculous.

Is this a f***ing joke?

Is this a prank?

Depart then, impious one.

Depart, accursed one.

Depart will all your deceits,

for God has ordained that man

should receive his holy temple.

Why do you still linger here?

Give honor to God,

the Father Almighty,

before whom every knee must bow.

Almighty God,

father of Our Lord and

Savior, Jesus Christ,

he that hath regenerated thee

by water and the Holy Spirit,

and granted thee

remission of all thy sins,

anoint thee unto life

everlasting, amen.

What the hell?

What the hell just happened?

Was it poison?

Was everyone poisoned at lunch?

- We all ate the

same thing.

It's him.

He doesn't want us here.

He never did.

- Who?

- The dark energy.

I told you it was strong.

- Oh, come on,

you're saying this was done

by a ghost?

Are you out of your

freaking mind?

Oh, it's not a ghost.

It's something much, much more,

and it's still here.

Give me a break.

I'm getting out of here.

There's no such thing as ghosts.

And if you think there

are, you're an a**hole.

God, this is not how

today was supposed to go!

Screw you, screw you!

You can't do this to me,

not on my set!

This is my set!

This is my movie!

- Jacob, don't.

- Don't what?

Don't anger him?

Please, I'm the one

who's angry, I'm pissed!

[ominous growling]

You're a pathetic joke.

- Stay, stay away

from him.

- We have to help him.

- You can't, you can't

help him.

Well Daniel,

how's this for original?

Have you ever seen a man

die quite this horribly?

Ri-bono shel olom, y'hi rotzon

mil'fonecho... she-yih-yeh -

The smell.

- I smell it too,

it's terrible.

It's him, he's right

here, standing with us,

admiring his handiwork.

What do you want with us?

We're not here to harm you!

You've taken enough souls.

It's enough now, let us go.

Oh, my god, look.

- Come on ...

- Rebecca,

Rebecca, darling, come over here

to us.

What happened?

There's a dark entity

in this hotel,

and it, it attacked everyone,

Rebecca.

Oh, my god!

- Just come over here

to us.

Come on, sweetie.

Why, why aren't you dead?

- I don't know.

We don't know.

- Come on, Rebecca,

just get out of the mess.

We'll get you all cleaned up.

Oh, my god, they're dead!

[flies buzzing]

Everyone is dead!

- Come on, just walk

this way.

Oh!

- Oh, God, the smell,

it's back.

I smell it too.

What's going on?

Where, where did these flies

come from?

It's him, it's all him.

- What can we do?

Nothing.

Don't you guys get it?

Oh, no.

- Rebecca?

- It's not Rebecca.

God, Father of Our Lord,

Jesus Christ,

I appeal to your Holy Name,

humbly begging your kindness

that you graciously grant

me help against this

and every unclean spirit

now tormenting

this group of mortals through

Christ Our Lord, amen.

You're powerless

old man.

- Let's get out of here.

- I got it, man.

- Sidney,

it's not working.

Why isn't it working?

- God, Father of

Our Lord, Jesus Christ,

I appeal to your Holy Name,

humbly begging your kindness--

[ominous garbling]

- That you graciously

grant me

help against this and every

unclean spirit

now tormenting this

group of mortals

through Christ Our Lord, amen!

- Aaron, let go.

Let's get out of here now.

- Aaron I got it.

You've lost your way,

and without faith your words

are empty.

You're as hollow as those

horrid daytime talk shows

you've gotten so comfortable on.

Daniel, stay back.

Oh, so you do

have some sense left.

You recognize the dominant

power when it's in your face.

Extracting the life from your

sad carcass.

- She's dead.

[Sidney breathing heavy]

You killed her.

- Ah,

I didn't kill her.

She was already gone.

He was just using her,

talking through her.

Talking through, th-

That's insane.

This isn't happening.

Oh, it's happening all right,

but I've never seen anything

like this,

nothing this determined.

- I need to swap

batteries.

- Why are you

still filming?

This is sick.

- Look, this is

the only proof we have

of any of this happening,

alright?

Nobody's gonna believe us,

but I got it.

I got everything.

He's right, he's right.

We should film everything,

in case ...

In case we die, just say it.

I cannot find a way out.

All the windows are either

boarded up, shatterproof.

All the doors are frozen.

Why is he doing this?

Why, why would he kill all

those people and not us?

Think of a demon as...fire.

It burns, it destroys,

but it uses fuel.

When a fire gets out of control,

it consumes everything

in its path,

except then finally it just

runs out of fuel

and it dies out.

This thing used up so

much energy

manifesting the way that it did,

that if it had taken us all

at once,

it would have just burned out.

So, it's saving us for

later, we're dessert.

Saving us for something.

Believe me, it has a plan.

None of this has happened

by accident.

This one's smart.

I'm not gonna be fuel.

I'm getting us out of here.

What is so f***ing funny?

Seriously old man, hello?

There's nothing funny here.

- Aaron.

Relax.

I'm not laughing at you,

exactly.

Ha ha, I'm just amused

by the fact

that you seem to think you have
