Luciferous Page #5

Synopsis: In a high-rise apartment young parents Alex and Mahsa live with their seven-year-old daughter Mina. Everything about the family is completely normal, uncomfortably real: Their home, their jobs, her school, the way they hold and love each other. The line between fact and fiction is blurred because THEY ARE A REAL family. Until completely normal turns into what they fear the most. Alex's injury opens the door to a malevolent force that attacks and dismantles the family one person at a time: A violent aggressor determined to prove that possession is real, unconscionably disturbing and very different from how it's depicted in the movies.
Director(s): Mahsa Ghorbankarimi (co-director), Alexander Gorelick (co-director)

the doctor called.

He said daddy's gonna be

home in a couple of hours.

That's good huh?

It's good news, it's good news.

Hello?

Yeah, this is she.

What, died?

What are you talking about?

I just talked to his nurse, she

said that he's feeling a lot

better, and is coming

home in couple hours.

No, no, no, no, no, no,

no, should be a mistake.

They said he's coming

home in couple hours.

Okay.

Minishka, Mina, get

up, we have to go.

Put it on.

- Mommy.

- We have to go, we have to go.

- Where are we going?

Where are we going?

Masa, Masa, Mina,

baby open the door.

Baby!

Baby, Masa, Baby.

Baby, baby what's

wrong with you?

Baby wake up.

Masa, just wake up, baby.

Mina, wake up, wake up, Mina.

What the f***!

Baby!

Baby, wake up, baby, wake up!

Baby.

The hospital has no record

of anybody calling you

to say I was dead.

Masa, my god, you

still don't believe me.

Oh my god, do you realize

if I hadn't gotten to you

guys in the car when I

did, you'd both be dead?

He hasn't been able

to kill me yet, huh?

But he gave you a taste

of what it would feel like

if I had died, Masa!

Like that is the exact same

sh*t that his wife went through.

Okay, enough already,

enough already.

I can't wait for you

anymore to agree with me.

We just have to leave.

We'll figure the

sh*t out later, Masa.

Oh my god, Masa, it's okay.

- Mommy!

- Mina, go back to your room.

Masa, just, it's gonna be okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

- Mommy, fluffy's in the closet.

- It's all like this?

- Yeah.

- I can't believe this.

- I f***ing believe it.

F***, sh*t.

This is bull sh*t, I don't

remember any of this.

Oh, f***, oh my god.

Oh my god!

Baby, there he is,

f***, do you see him?

Oh my god.

- Mina, Mina!

Oh my baby, oh my baby.

Mommy's here, mommy's here.

Alex!

- We're not home

right now, but if you leave

us a message, we'll

all call you back.

- Hello, this

is Dr. Anderson calling.

I'm sorry, I have to explain

the results of your blood work

to you like this,

over the phone.

Although we still need to do

more tests, at this time it

appears your all suffering

from extreme chemical and

hormonal imbalances in the body.

Unfortunately, the results

are still very confusing.

Your symptoms might

be caused by a number

of invasive factors.

That's why we really need

all of you to come back to

hospital as soon as possible.

And the conditions are

extremely life threatening,

especially for your daughter,

at such a young age.

In this circumstance, hospital

policy has required us to

contact social services, and

the representative is here to

speak with you about how

this could happen to a seven

year old.

I'm really sorry to inform

you about this like this,

but if you don't contact us

within the next 24 hours,

we will be forced to

take further action.

We have to make sure that

Mina is brought to the

hospital for

immediate attention.

- Mommy, what's

he talking about?

Where do I have to go?

- No, no, no, Mina, don't worry.

You don't have to go anywhere.

He wasn't talking about you,

he wasn't talking about you.

Come on, come on, we have to go.

Come on.

- Masa.

- Hi John, I'm sorry, I have

to leave Mina with you for

couple of hours, is that okay?

- Yeah, is everything okay?

- Mommy, I want my mommy.

I want my mommy, mommy.

Mommy, I want my mommy,

mommy, I want my mommy.

Mommy!

What did you think of my little

film, or well come on, let's

give credit where credit is

due, I should say our film.

I certainly couldn't

have done it without you.

I wish you had time

to watch all of it.

- Mommy where are you?

- I mean, you guys have

really done a fantastic job.

I mean exactly what

I wanted you to.

Hopefully, people will

enjoy watching it.

A horror film is a

horror film after all.

Always fun to watch.

So interesting, we create

all this technology,

social media, drugs,

so easy to prescribe.

- I want my mommy.

- And for what?

- Mommy!

- Only to have them

used to manipulate us.

What I did, what I did, Masa,

wasn't so difficult

to accomplish.

Rent an apartment on

your floor, convenient,

high end surveillance cameras,

and people, you would

be surprised what people

will do for money,

they will do anything.

That was all I needed, to

be able to watch you 24/7.

To have you act, and react,

exactly as I wanted you to.

- I want you, I want you!

- We talked about this.
