As each person succumbs to the box's mysterious hold on them, David fears his father's dangerous spirit has returned from the dead demanding retribution. But he soon realizes something far more ancient and terrifying has invaded his protected home, and if he can't solve the puzzle of the devilish box, he will surely die with the rest of them, all entombed in his house forever.

Come back in the house.

Get back in the house, now!

Kelly!

Come on!

I'm calling 911.

There's no signal.

It's ridiculous, you get

great signal strength up here.

Well, the paramedics are coming,

they'll know what's

happening, right?

There has to be some

logical explanation

about what happened out there.

Why aren't you

concerned about this?

Well...

you can live for

thousands of years

and waste it all if you don't

enjoy the little moments.

Did you touch that box?

Did you take

something from the box?

Maybe a little China, why?

You know...

you always were the smart one.

The one I had to keep my eye on

Weren't you, Brown Nose?

What did you just call me?

What the hell is going on?

My God.

Is everyone ok?

David, do you have candles?

Yeah, I've got some candles

and a backup generator.

Follow me.

Wait! Can you stay with me?

Please, I'm scared.

Really?

Fine.

Ok, candles are in here.

I've got a generator.

I'm gonna go put these

around the house.

[David]

Yeah.

- What?

- Come here, please.

I just wanna talk to you.

What?

How are you even

thinking right now?

- Aren't you scared?

- Of course I'm scared.

I'm just a little more

used to it than you are.

- You're very pretty.

- Darren!

I really need you

to pull it together.

It's gonna be one of us.

Or is it gonna be me,

or is it gonna be you?

Guess it's gonna be me, then.

Help me!

- You know... you talk too much.

- Help!

You're gonna like

what comes next.

Guys, help me!

He's trying to kill me!

- What happened?

- He's gone crazy!

Hello, snowflake!

We didn't get to finish

in the shower.

- Brown Nose.

- F*** you!

- Come on! I got what I want!

- Stop it!

Hey, a**hole!

[electrocuting]

[David]

What the f***?

Everybody, stay back!

[Kelly]

Oh, my God, what's happening?

[Kelly crying]

What's happening?

[David]

Oh, my God. Oh, God.

No!

Darren!

Don't touch him. Come on.

- All right.

- What is happening?

I don't know.

Nobody touch him!

Now, let's think about this.

They both took something

from the box,

- now they're both dead.

- They both called me Snowflake.

Whoever did this knew that Rich

was gonna go for the gold,

and Darren would go

for the drugs.

So, what are you saying?

That dad laid a trap,

and now it's gonna

kill all of us?

- I mean, why would he do that?

- This is impossible.

And Richard's hand

was burnt with acid,

it was burnt!

And then it was healed?

That's not possible.

She's right.

We have to be

logical about this,

cause there has to be some sort

of real world explanation.

Cause I don't believe in spirits

and hauntings,

and all that bullshit.

This feels like a set up to me.

Who could have done that?

- You could.

- What?

You're an architect,

you know how things look!

- You could have made that box!

- That's insane.

And the lawyer's calls,

all had us come here,

but we never met a lawyer!

It could have been you!

And that box just magically

shows up on your door step?

There was no delivery truck!

It could have been here

the whole time!

And then all of us

received that e-mail

as soon as you walked back

in the room.

Maybe you sent it!

Right, and what about the blood

and the sign out on the sky?

Did he do that too? Come on!

You're so screwed up.

You're so screwed up

because you're stuck here.

And you're angry at the world,

and you're angry at us,

because we all have

normal lives,

and you finally got a chance

to get us all under your roof!

- Enough already!

- Ok, so what, Kelly?

I came up with this crazy plan

to kill everybody.

- It's ridiculous.

- I represent people

who do it every day.

Every day!

Right, cause I'm just

the crazy one, right?

I'm not like all of you,

like the rich a**hole,

or your junky brother

with a b*tch lawyer.

Stop! Guys, please!

We have to stay together, ok?

We can't fight.

I'm sorry.

Kelly, I didn't kill anybody.

- Well, I'm not dying here.

- Neither am I.

My God, neither are any of us,

for sh*t's sake!

You know what? She's right.

- I'll take my chances out there.

- Michelle!

[Kelly]

What is that?

Oh, my God.

Is it a rock?

[Kelly]

What is it?

- It's cold.

- It's everywhere.

What's that smell?

For God's sake,

just open the damn thing!

How can someone do this

to your house?

Come on! Everybody, push!

One, two, three!

Oh, my God, what is happening?

Somebody tell me

what's going on, please!

- Can we burn it down?

- No, we can't burn it!

Then we'd burn

the whole house down!

You still think

I'm trying to kill you?

No, no, no, no.

You said not to touch that!

Look, whatever is

happening out there,

it's connected to this box.

We gotta find a way in.

We gotta find a latch,

or a hinge, or something.

I shouldn't be here,

I shouldn't be here.

He's right,

there is a seam here, maybe...

Here, here, here.

Good thinking.

Yeah, yeah, right there.

Push harder!

Guys!

Guys!

Ok, this scratch

was not here before.

Kelly, go back!

Scratch again, same place.

- Ok.

- Now.

Oh, my God.

What does this mean?

What are you thinking?

You don't wanna know

what I'm thinking,

'cause what I'm thinking

is not possible.

Kelly! Other side of the box,

scratch it when I tell you.

Ok, Kelly! Now!

What is happening, guys?

What is happening?

[Cheryl]

Are we in hell?

I've been in hell

most of my life,

and I managed to survive it.

One day at a time.

So, let's figure out

what kind of hell we're in,

so we can get the hell out.

All right, Kelly, I want you

to go back to the box,

scrape in the exact same place

when I tell you.

Please don't make me go

by myself.

Ok, fine, I'll go. I'll go.

When she scrapes,

where she scrapes,

we're gonna try

and bust through.

If that doesn't work,

I'm gonna smash the box.

Ok. It's gonna work.

It's gonna work, right?

- It's gonna work?

- I promise you this will work.

I'm really scared.

I don't know what to do.

I usually know what to do,

and I don't know what to do now.

Look at me. Look at me.

Trust me, I'm gonna get us

out of here, ok?

I promise you,

- I'm getting us out of here.

- Ok.

Everyone ok?

Michelle!

Ready?

Now!

[whispers]

[screams]

What?

I don't understand.

What is happening?

Michelle!

Michelle?

Michelle?

Michelle, where are you?

Michelle?

- She's not here.

- David!

- Michelle!

- David, can you hear me?

- Where could she have gone?

- Hey, can you hear me?

Hey!

What?

Hey, can you hear me?

- Hey! Guys!

- Michelle?

- Over here!

- Michelle!

- Are you able to hear me?

- What the f***?

Is that a reflection?

I don't...

- I don't know!

- Where is she?

She's inside.

Hang on, Michelle,

we're gonna get you out, ok?

Help me!

How is she inside there?

Michelle!

Can you hear me?

Get me out of here!

Guys, get me out!

- Get me out!

- Don't bang on the glass!

[indistinct screaming]

Michelle!

- What happened to her?

- Did she just die?

- Maybe she's not really gone!

- Is she here somewhere?

Kelly, come here.

David, get away from there.
