But, uh...

I can make a run,

send somebody back.

Just look at that sea.

We'll never get off this

island in no rubber dinghy.

Don't worry anybody.

As soon as my dad realizes

we are not back yet,

he'll take care of everything.

Great. Meanwhile, why don't

I do the honors of the house

and rustle up some coffee.

Umm... [CLEARS THROAT]

I doubt if that's working.

How did you guess?

Okay, you can go home now.

I'm gonna stay for a while.

Good night.

Mrs. Brooks, would you

like some coffee?

She better not.

We don't want to strain

my wife's nerves.

My nerves are just fine!

A stinking lousy headache.

That's foul!

Well, if you really don't feel

well, why don't you go upstairs

and lie down for a while.

After all, it is a hotel.

Jane, give me one of your pills.

My pills, I had them

when I was....

When I fainted in the bathroom.

Well then, they must

still be there.

- I'll go get them.

- Thank you, Tommy.

Looking for this?

Yes, thank you.

- Do you wanna meet my parents?

- No, not yet, Tommy.

There's no hurry.

See, I was right.

It fell on the floor

and Tommy found them right away.

No, the woman in black

gave them to me.

Stop this nonsense!

You hear me?

Tommy, come here.

You're a good boy, okay?

Look at me.

I'm gonna get some rest,

somewhere.

God knows how long

we're gonna be stranded here.

[FOOTSTEPS]

Oh, I wouldn't mind if we have

to spend the whole night here.

Would you?

[SCREAMING LOUDLY]

[SCREAMING CONTINUES]

[VERY LOUD SCREAMS]

[DOOR CREAKING]

So, in just a few more months,

you're gonna have a niece

or nephew to play with.

- Does that make you happy?

- Yes.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Do you know where it is?

- Yes.

- Okay.

[JANE SIGHS]

So, do you believe in

paranormal phenomena?

What do you mean?

Well, do you study professionally

or is it a hobby?

You know, witches, spirits,

spells, unexplainable events.

Yeah, I studied it for

so many years,

I definitely believe in it.

What does this island

have to do with it?

Because they say on this island

many witch burnings

have taken place.

And the book

you're translating?

Oh, it's an old German text,

about a woman

accused of witchcraft.

She was pregnant.

And so preferred

to take her own life,

rather than burn at the stake.

And all this took place on

anisland in a new world.

It was exactly like this one.

[MUSIC PLAYS ON FILM REEL]

I didn't touch it. I swear.

[WOMAN SINGING EERIE SONG]

[SONG CONTINUES]

There's three doors to hell.

The first door needs to grieve.

[MUFFLED SCREAMS]

That one will be closed

now forever.

[MUFFLED SOBS]

[SOBBING CONTINUES]

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

[MUFFLED SOBS]

[CRYING IN PAIN]

[LAUGHTER]

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

[WOMAN SPEAKING GERMAN]

[CONTINUES SPEAKING]

[SPEAKING ENDS]

Oh, it's so cold!

There's a fireplace.

Why don't we use it?

It'll keep us warm

while we wait.

JERRY:
That sounds like

a good idea.

[MUFFLED MOANING]

That chair looks

just like the thing.

Don't tell your wife. She will

probably make me pay for it.

There's a lot of smoke.

You know, it probably

hasn't been used in years.

It's a storm. Low pressure.

[MOANING]

It's beginning to drop now.

[LINDA LAUGHING]

[SIGHS]

That is really pretty.

- Is it old?

- I don't know.

- Do you wear it all the time?

- Mm-hmm.

Even in bed?

[SIGHS]

I want to go look for Tommy,

maybe he's with Rose.

You go, I want to read this.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[LAUGHS]

I'm gonna go stretch out,

getting kind of tired.

Yeah, I think I'll

do the same thing.

Safe to say, we're stuck

here for the night.

Mr. Brooks...

will you come and knock on my door

when the cavalry gets here?

Sure will.

Thanks. Good night.

I'd like to know what

that chair was made out of.

Wood sure smells funny.

It's colder tonight.

Stop!

[WIND BLOWING]

Gary, wait!

Tommy?

[FOOTSTEPS]

Tommy?

[DOOR CREAKING]

[DOOR CREAKING]

Oh, my goodness, not again!

A hundred rooms

and not one bed.

Who needs a bed?

[INDISTINCT, GARBLED SPEECH]

[GARBLED SPEECH CONTINUES]

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

- Where did everybody go?

- I don't know.

Tommy, where have you been?

I've been looking everywhere for you.

You know better

than that, Tony.

Those are killer waves out there.

If it'd make you feel any better,

I'll take a spin around,

see if I can find Sam.

I don't know what's

bothering you.

They're in a hotel.

Are you getting superstitious

on me, huh?

The second door,

is the door of lust,

which is the desire

of the flesh.

There's always a flame.

[WIND BLOWING]

[LOUD SCREAMS]

JERRY:
Where are we?

What the hell is going on?

LINDA:
How is this possible?

[PANTING]

[LINDA SCREAMING]

JERRY:
Linda?

Linda?

Linda?

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

Giordano? Linda?

Where the devil are you?

[ECHOING SCREAMS]

Linda?

Linda!

Linda. Linda!

JERRY:
Linda!

JERRY:
[MUTTERING PRAYER]

Oh, dear God in heaven.

[SCREAMING]

[FOOTSTEPS]

[DOOR CREAKING]

Giordano?

Linda?

[SCREAMING]

Linda!

[SCREAMING] Linda!

Sam you say? No, I don't

think he's at the island.

They saw his boat going in

the opposite direction

this afternoon!

Are you sure

it was Sam's boat?

I didn't see it myself, but

the Foxy Lady is hard to mistake.

Would you take me to the

island in your boat?

I'm afraid my son

is stuck out there.

I am sorry, Mr. Giordano,

but it would be suicide to

try to go out there now.

- It's blowing up a storm!

- I'll pay you anything.

I wouldn't live to spend it.

You know, Tommy, when I was

a kid, I was just like you.

I had lots of friends

and I'd talk to them,

and sometimes they'd

talk back to me.

And I did all the voices

just like you.

Only I never had this old

lady who was dressed in black.

There was one guy named

Captain Nemo,

and Captain Nemo

was a big, fat dude.

He was so fat, when

he sat around the house,

- he sat around the...

- Gary?

Did you get it?

Around the house?

I'll be right back.

Do not forget it.

Yo, what's up?

MR. BROOKS:
The strangest

thing just happened.

[SCREAMING IN PAIN]

[SCREAMING CONTINUES]

The room went suddenly dark.

And I walked in and

they were gone!

Maybe they just wanted

to be alone.

Jesus Christ! Help me get

her down, will you?

[PANTING]

Blood of a virgin...

[SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING IN PAIN]

[SCREAMING]

[PANTING]

Jerry?

Um... what's that?

[SCREAMING]

It's Jerry. We've gotta

get outta here.

- We've gotta get out of here!

- Stop! Stop! Stop it!

Leslie!

Leslie?

Thank God, you're all right!

All right, listen to me.

Linda and Jerry

have been killed.

Now, you get dressed. We've

got to find a way out of here.

LESLIE:
The upside down

cross where Jerry was burned,

and Linda's slashed throat.

It's all part of

an ancient ritual.

A satanic ritual.

[GASPS]

Where's Rose?

She may be in trouble,

we have to go look for her.

[METAL CLINKING]

Ah!

[GASPING]

[SCREAMING]

We're trapped!

We're trapped in this place.

Gary, we've got to

get off this island!
