The Raking Page #5

Synopsis: As part of a Cultural Anthropology Project, several college students embark on a weekend camping trip to research an urban-legend, The Rake. The Rake is a terrifying monster, in humanoid form with long claws. The creature feeds only on the Equinox, which also happens to be the same time the college students take their camping trip. As the college students explore deeper and deeper into the desert to chase down the myth, and disprove of it's existence, they find themselves no longer the hunters of mystery, but the prey of The Rake itself. Now they find themselves fighting for their very lives.

What?

Christ, that's not enough light!

It's dead.

[growling]

It's not enough light!

[growl]

Noah, we're gonna have to run.

[snarling]

Noah, run!

[intense music ]

[slice sound]

Come on!

[grunts]

[Noah crying out]

Noah!

Argh!

Help! Oh, help me!

- Hold on!

- You hold on!

[Noah crying]

[creature growling]

Move!

[Noah]

I'm slipping!

Oh, no!

[Noah crying]

[Ethan]

Hold on!

[Noah crying]

[hissing]

Move your ass!

[grunting]

Come on.

Come on! Let's go! Move!

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, geez.

Thank you.

[breathing heavily]

I thought I was gonna lose you!

I'm okay.

It's gettin' bolder.

James.

Yeah?

I want to thank you.

Don't thank me yet.

This thing ain't through.

[soft dramatic music ]

Are you all right?

That almost sounded

like you care.

Well, we're friends, aren't we?

That looks pretty bad.

I think I saw some bandages

in there medicine cabinet.

I'll-I'll be right back.

Jade.

Thanks.

So, that was pretty, uh...

F***ed up?

Sorry.

- No.

Couldn't've said it

better myself.

You okay?

Better charge this...

in case we need the light again.

Don't expect

you'll be sleepin' much...

Here.

It gets colder than you

might think here at night.

Thank you.

Yeah.

You all right?

You're shaking.

I just wanna go home.

[gentle music ]

Me too.

This was just supposed to be

a stupid story.

What if the thing comes back?

What happened to Kelly...

[trembling breath]

I don't wanna die.

No, hey.

No... we're safe now.

I mean...

Everything's gonna be okay.

[electricity zapping]

Oh, that's not good.

[thud]

[Jade gasps]

Ah!

[ominous music ]

Jesus! What the hell happened?!

I think I blew a fuse

when I plugged in my phone.

God damn you, kid!

- I'm sorry, I didn't...

- You're sorry?!

You're goddamn sorry?!

Them lights were the only thing

keeping that thing

from comin'

through the damned door!

Once that happens,

sorry won't mean sh*t!

Hey!

[scoffs]

You just killed us all.

I need to get

some light in here.

- I didn't think. I'm sorry.

- Noah... relax.

Get over here.

Is this really

gonna be enough light?

I don't know.

Then please tell me

you have a plan.

If I can get to the box,

I can fix it.

Where's the box?

Where's Jade?

[breathing deeply]

She must still be

in the bathroom.

I'll go.

What?

Nothing, just... be careful.

[Jade gasps]

Jade, it's just me. Okay?

We blew a fuse.

James is gonna fix it.

Okay? Come on.

[creature growling]

You listen up.

[noise outside the house]

Ah, Jesus.

Look, I need to get

to the side of the house

to the circuit box.

This should buy me ten minutes.

You all wait by that window.

You see me coming back,

you open the door.

I'm gonna throw this flare.

It should buy me time

to get back in.

Yeah...

You remember what I said.

[crickets chirping]

[creature screeches]

[screech]

Jesus.

[coyotes howling]

[clattering loudly]

[howling continues]

[screech]

[grunts]

Jesus!

God damnit.

[creature growls]

God damnit.

[suspenseful music ]

God damnit.

God damnit.

I will never give up.

I will not give in.

[soft dramatic music ]

No!

[rustling]

[growl]

[suspenseful music ]

[rustling]

[growling]

[roar]

Come on, you b*tch!

Come on!

[gun clicks, jammed]

Oh, Jesus!

Ah!

Oh, my God.

[Kennedy screams]

[slicing sounds, splattering]

[crunching, splattering]

[screaming]

[creature growling]

Oh, God!

[Kennedy screams]

[scraping]

What the hell are we gonna do?

[panting]

Why is everybody lookin' at me?

Look, right now,

any idea is a good idea.

What if we try and sneak out?

Except that one.

All right, look.

How much light do we have?

I think I have

a little bit of battery left.

We have the candles, right?

Maybe we could light a fire.

That's plenty of light.

One problem,

we don't have any wood.

What if we-what if we just wait

until the sun comes up?

It can't be that late, right?

What time is it?

Four in the morning.

Okay, that's only two hours

'til the sun comes up.

[bang]

[creaking]

[scraping, banging]

[banging]

What are we gonna do?

All right, we know this thing

doesn't like light, right?

All right, there's gotta be

something in this house we can use.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- I'll look in there.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Go!

[ominous music ]

[crickets chirping]

I think I found something

that might work!

I don't think it wants

its picture taken.

No, I think the flash

might be bright enough.

And if it's not?

Guys, my phone died,

but I found a flashlight.

[crunch]

[door creaks]

What the hell was that?

Sounded like

there was a door opening.

I locked the door.

Yeah, me too.

How many doors

does this place have?

All right, if that was a door,

we need to lock it.

That thing works, right?

I haven't tried it yet.

It looks like

there's film in here.

All right.

Okay.

[crying]

[weakly]

I'm sorry.

No.

No.

[screaming continues]

[growling]

It's okay!

[Jude cries out]

I got you. I got you, Jade.

[crying out in pain]

I can't! I can't!

I got you. Come on.

- Jade, come on!

- Jade!

[Jade]

Just go!

[breathing deeply]

I don't think

she can move her leg.

No, we got this.

Just go.

- Jade!

- Just go!

We're not gonna leave

without you!

[all gasp]

[Jade]

Just go!

Just go. Just go.

[Jade goes silent]

Oh, Jade.

[crying]

Okay... okay...

[growl]

Come on!

Over here.

[growl]

Outside?! There's nowhere

to hide out there!

The sun's coming up, okay?

All right, listen to me.

All we have to do

is go out this window.

By the time that thing figures

out that we're not here,

it'll all be over.

- Okay.

- All right? Come on.

- Okay.

I can't leave you!

[growl]

All right,

I'm gonna go first, okay?

- Okay.

- All right.

I'll catch you

on the other side.

Okay, be careful.

Okay. Are you okay?

[growling]

Come on!

Come on, I'll get you!

[shrieks]

Kennedy!

[growling breath]

Kennedy?

[spooky voice]

I remember you.

[growling breath]
