fast-forward the movie?

I didn't see a DVD player.

It's a good thing no one's tried

to start that truck up, though.

- Why's that?

- Well, 'cause in the movie...

it blows up.

What's that?

Karl.

- Karl!

- No, Karl!

- Outta the car!

- Get outta the truck!

- Get out of the truck!

- Get back in the house!

What are you doing?!

F***, f***!

- Get outta the truck!

- Karl!

- Get outta the truck!

- Karl!

I got it!

- I got it!

- No! Hell, no!

Get outta the truck!

- What's going on?

- Get in the house!

- Where's Karl?

- Stop it!

Where's Karl?

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

Yeah!

Take her inside.

He's still alive!

He's still alive!

Somebody help him!

- He needs our...

- Stay in the house!

Sh*t.

- Stand back.

- He's alive!

- We have to go after him!

- I can't let you go out there!

I can't!

Think about your daughter!

Do you want to risk

your own life for that?

Mommy?

I am going out there!

To hell with him!

- Please, let me!

- No, no, no, no, no.

- I can't! I'm sorry.

- Please, let me!

I'm sorry. He's gone!

I'm sorry.

Look...

how many people survived

the "Night of the Living Dead"?

None.

They're coming, man!

Come on!

They're coming!

Take the girls

down to the basement.

Let's go, go.

Downstairs, downstairs. Now.

Everyone, downstairs.

Now! Go, go!

Help! Please!

- Help!

- I'll get you, get you.

- Get the f*** off her!

- F***ing a**hole!

- No!

- Help!

No, get away!

Mommy! Mommy!

Get away from her!

Get away from her!

Get away!

Hey!

You all right?

Yeah, I'm okay, I'm okay.

I got you now, motherf***er.

Where you at?

Sh*t! Who the f*** are you?

See these?

Swear to God if you don't...

- I'll cut your f***in' neck...

- My name is Owen.

I just killed a guy downstairs.

For all I know,

his name was Owen.

Look, I just went

to this party last night

and I don't know...

I just... I just woke up here.

- You woke up here?

- Yeah.

- Sh*t!

- It's me, it's me!

Sorry.

Who are you?

My name is Owen.

- It's okay. He's with us.

- What you mean he's with us?

He woke up here, too.

- Where?

- Ln there.

In there? I searched in there.

I've been moving around.

I thought you guys were after me.

Yeah, no, that makes sense.

When we heard you guys upstairs,

we kept quiet down in the basement.

Yeah, besides,

if he wanted me dead,

he had his chance.

Right.

- Hey, what are you doing?

- Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Well, I mean,

we got three zombies down, right?

And one more on our team.

Yeah.

Hey, but...

it doesn't make

any sense, though.

What?

I mean,

in the "Night of the Living Dead,"

it was the black guy,

the blonde,

the husband, the wife,

the daughter...

and there were

two other people, right?

Yeah, so?

Where does this guy

come into play?

Night of the what?

Living dead.

You almost had me,

you son of a b*tch.

Look, please don't kill me!

I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do it!

- I'm not a monster!

- Why are they doing this?

Look, you don't know

these guys, okay?

They're thrill seekers.

This sh*t gets them off.

"Why watch a horror movie

when you can live one?"

That's... that's

what Benjamin says.

So these sickos

are making a snuff film?

No, they're living one.

Sh*t! Get in the room.

- Get in the room!

- Sh*t.

- Come on!

- F***er.

- Guys, wait!

- Come on!

Guys, wait! Guys!

Come on, guys!

No! No!

Owen, man, how many are there?

Ss-ss...

Six? Seven?

He's dead.

F***.

I remember...

I remember I asked Russell

if he believed in God.

And you wanna know

what he told me?

He told me that this is hell.

That we're in hell right now.

That it's this

alternate reality

where only good people go

and nothing bad happens to 'em.

I'm starting to believe that.

His birthday was next week.

If I would've just...

just stopped and listened to him...

he might be alive right now.

But I'm just always

thinking of myself.

I've seen this before.

Yeah, so have I.

That b*tch.

Does this look familiar

to anyone?

- No.

- No?

You sure?

Take a better look.

I mean, really,

get a good look.

- Stay away from me.

- What's going on?

You wanna know what's going on?

Seems our little friend here

set this whole thing up.

- What?

- Yeah, she knows these people.

- Just wait.

- You let this happen.

- No, wait!

- You f***ing b*tch!

Wait! I didn't know

this was gonna happen!

They told me they were

just gonna play a game

- to scare you guys.

- So you did know?

Yes.

No, no, no.

Please, help... help me.

Tell them that I didn't know!

You know her?

Yeah, he's not gonna help you.

His friend's dead

because of you.

Okay, I just met them this weekend.

They paid me.

They paid me to invite people

to this party.

They said to be selective.

They said that there was gonna be stars.

There are.

Us!

We're starring in a horror movie

where we all die!

Don't you see?

I'm in this, too.

- Okay?

- Yeah.

- You are.

- No!

- Get the door!

- No!

Get off of me! Please! Please!

Please, don't let them do this!

Please! I didn't know!

I didn't f***ing...

I didn't know!

- I didn't know. I didn't know!

- Shut up!

I didn't... I didn't know!

- No!

- There you go, crazy fucks!

- Come get your b*tch!

- F*** you! No!

No! Damn it!

Please, don't do this!

Karen, come on! F*** you!

F*** you! F*** you! Let me in!

Motherf***er!

- Judith.

- Get the f*** away from me.

Why are you doing this?

I know it's you, Patrick.

Judith.

We're just playing a little game.

What's the matter?

You don't like role-playing?

Come back here.

Look, we can't

leave her out there.

Look, I'm serious.

They're gonna kill her.

I'm planning on it.

Look, come on, man.

You heard her, man.

She didn't know

this was gonna happen.

- She didn't.

- Yeah, maybe she did, maybe she didn't.

Either way,

she belongs outside.

- Look, move out of the way.

- Hey.

- Hey, don't touch me!

- Then don't touch the door.

We can't risk anybody else

going outside and getting killed.

We need you to get outta here.

No one survives

in the movie, okay?

No one.

Get the f*** out of my way.

Hey, don't...

Man, who the f*** you think...

Stop it! Stop it!

Stop it! Get off of him!

Get off of him! Stop it!

F*** you!

That b*tch is hiding.

We need light.

- My Judith?

- Yeah.

Let's go.

Sh*t.

No! No!

Get off... get off me!

Don't...

Well. Hi, babe.

Trying to escape?

I told you we'd be

playing a game.

You did wonderful.

None of this would've happened

without your cooperation.

You have to admit this is better

than any of our

haunted attractions.

I don't think you've ever been

to our place.

World's biggest haunted house.

The entire second floor is an homage

to the "Night of the Living Dead. "

That's where we got all of this.

Scaring people gets old

when you do it for a living.

You might say we wanted to...

make it a bit more interesting.

You know, we still need

to waste the filmmaker

if this is gonna look

a murder-suicide thing.

Right.

Then everybody will think this was
