Silent Night, Bloody Night

On Christmas Eve 1950, Wilfred Butler runs out of his rural house and appears to

have been set on fire. He collapses in the snow and is believed to be dead.

Years later, lawyer John Carter and his assistant Ingrid arrive in a small

Massachusetts town on Christmas Eve. John meets with the town's nobles, Mayor

Adams, Tess Howard, Sheriff Bill Mason and Charlie Towman. John is revealed to be

the lawyer of Jeffrey Butler, Wilfred's grandson, and is trying to sell the Butler

mansion for $50,000 by noon the next day. After a call to his wife, John is revealed

to be having an affair with Ingrid, his assistant. The two stay the night at the Butlermansion, unaware that they are being watched. After dinner, the two go upstairs to

a bedroom to have sex. The mysterious person walks in on them and kills them

both with a felling axe. The killer calls the police and reveals himself to be

"Marianne."

After Tess, who is the town's phone operator, intercepts the call, she leaves her

assistant in charge and drives out to the Butler mansion. Marianne greets Tess, who

is visibly frightened. She is knocked over the head repeatedly with a candle holder.

At the same time, Sheriff Mason is heading to the mansion, but stops at the nearby

cemetery after seeing a disturbed gravesite from the road. Upon approaching the

grave, he discovers it is Wilfred Butler's, and that the grave has been dug up and

Butler's body removed. He is struck over the head and killed, and falls into thegrave.

Mayor Adams receives a strange phone call asking him to go to the Butler

mansion; he leaves his adult daughter Diane at home alone. Not long after Adams

leaves, a man arrives at the house and says his name is Jeffrey Butler, Wilfred's

grandson. Jeffrey says he found the sheriff's car abandoned at the cemetery and

"borrowed" it. After a brief conversation, Diane and Jeffrey go up to the cemetery to

look for the sheriff. They stumble upon Wilfred's disturbed grave, but find no sight

of the sheriff. The two go into town to Towman's to see if they can find out what is

happening.

Jeffrey takes Towman to the mansion and leaves him there to go back and retrieve

Diane. Jeffrey hits and kills Towman, who had been stabbed in the eyes. Diane's

suspicions of Jeffrey start to grow after this incident. The two enter the house and

Jeffrey finds an old diary. The diary reveals that Wilfred had an incestuous

relationship with his daughter, Marianne, and Jeffrey was the result. Wilfred turnedthe mansion into an asylum and admitted his own daughter. He soon regretted his

decision and set loose the inmates. The inmates killed all the doctors and Marianne

in the process. Jeffrey reveals that Towman, Mayor Adams, Tess Howard and Sheriff

Bill Mason were inmates that stayed behind in town.

Mayor Adams finally arrives to the mansion and finds Diane and Jeffrey there.

Adams and Jeffrey hold each other at gunpoint, believing the other to be the killer.

The two open fire, killing each other. A distraught Diane is greeted by "Marianne,"

who is really Wilfred Butler. Butler went after John Carter, Mayor Adams, Tess

Howard, and Sheriff Bill Mason to get revenge for his daughter's death and used

his grandson/son as a decoy. Diane grabs Jeffrey's gun and shoots Butler. A year

later, Diane takes one last look at the Butler mansion before it is destroyed by abulldozer crew.

Fire in the Sky

On November 5, 1975 in Snowflake, Arizona, logger Travis Walton (D. B. Sweeney),

and his co-workers—Mike Rogers (Robert Patrick), Allan Dallas (Craig Sheffer), David

Whitlock (Peter Berg), Greg Hayes (Henry Thomas) and Bobby Cogdill (Bradley

Gregg)—head to work in the White Mountains.

Driving home from work, the men come across an unidentified flying object.

Curious to learn more, Walton gets out of the truck and is struck by a bright beam

of light from the object and is sent flying several feet backwards as if pushed by an

unseen force. Fearing Walton was just killed, the others flee the scene. Rogersdecides to go back to the spot to retrieve Walton, but he is nowhere to be found.

Making their way back to town to report the incident, the loggers are met with

skepticism, as they relate what sounds like a tall tale to Sheriff Blake Davis (Noble

Willingham) and Lieutenant Frank Watters ( James Garner). They are suspected of

foul play despite no apparent motive or knowledge of Walton's whereabouts.

After interviewing the men, Lieutenant Watters realizes there is a lot of tension

between Walton and Dallis, leading him to believe this might be a murder

investigation. The Lieutenant also discovers a tabloid newspaper in their truck with

headlines about aliens, hinting that they used the article to concoct their story. The

men are accused of murder and are threatened by Travis's brother Dan Walton

(Scott MacDonald). The men are offered a lie detector test and take it. After thetesting is complete, Rogers is outraged that the results aren't shared and he and

his guys refuse to come back the next day to take it again. However, after the men

leave, the man who administered the tests tells the Sheriff and Lieutenant that with

the exception of Dallas' test (which was inconclusive), the other men seem to be

telling the truth.

Five days later, Rogers receives a call from someone claiming to be Walton. He is

found at a Heber gas station, alive but naked,dehydrated, and incoherent. A

ufologist questions Walton but he is thrown out and Walton is taken to a hospital.

Rogers visits Walton while in the emergency room and ends up telling Walton that

he left him after he was struck by the light but came back to get him. Walton

appears very angry by this and turns away from Rogers who blames the whole

incident on Walton for getting out of the truck. During a welcome home party,

Walton suffers a flashback of the abduction by the extraterrestrials.

He suddenly remembers waking up confused and finds himself inside a slimywomb-like cocoon for storage inside an alien spacecraft. As Walton breaks out of

the cocoon, he quickly becomes disoriented when he learns the environment

around him has no gravity. In a state of shock, he attempts to find a way to escape

only to discover other cocoons filled with the decomposing corpses of other human

beings. Terrified, he wanders (or rather floats) around aimlessly until the aliens

catch him. Walton is unwillingly dragged down dark corridors cluttered with items

from earth, such as keys, shoes, books and eye glasses, etc (collected junk most

likely belonging to the previous people abducted). He is taken to a strange exam

room for experimentation. Here, he is immediately stripped down and covered

with a white elastic sheet, which tightly pins him to an examination table under a

blinding white light. Despite Walton's frantic cries, the aliens do not acknowledgehis suffering. Instead, they look at him with great curiosity and disdain. They show

Walton no mercy and without speaking a single word, subject him to an extremely

painful and horrific experiment in which tubes are slid down his throat, a jelly-like

substance is shoved into his mouth, a sharp device is inserted into his neck, and a

needle goes through his eye. Afterwards, Walton loses consciousness until finding

himself back on earth and severely traumatized.

While interviewing Walton, Lieutenant Watters expresses his doubts about the

abduction as merely a hoax. He notes Walton's new found celebrity because of the

tabloids' attempts to profit from his tale. The film culminates with a denouement

between Walton and Rogers. The closing titles state that in 1993 the loggers were

resubmitted to additional polygraph examinations, which they passed,

corroborating their innocence.

When a Stranger Calls (1979 film)

Jill Johnson (Carol Kane) is babysitting the children of Dr. Mandrakis (Carmen

Argenziano) at their home. When the children are asleep, Jill receives a telephone

call from a man who asks her if she has checked the children. At first, Jill dismisses

the telephone calls as a practical joke; however, as the calls become more frequent

and threatening, Jill becomes frightened and decides to call the police, who

promise to trace the caller if Jill keeps him on the telephone line long enough. Jill,

frightened to extreme measures, arms herself as she receives one final call from

the nefarious stalker. Soon after the conversation, Jill receives a call from thepolice, only to find out that the stalker is calling from inside the house. A light

comes on at the top of the staircase, and Jill sees the stalker's shadow. She

immediately runs to the front door to scream for help.

Afterwards, Officer John Clifford (Charles Durning) investigates the matter. It turns

out that the children were murdered by the perp several hours earlier. The killer is

identified as an English merchant seaman named Curt Duncan (Tony Beckley), and

is subsequently sent to an asylum.

Seven years later, Duncan escapes from the asylum, still psychopathic. Dr.

Mandrakis hires Clifford, now a private investigator, to find Duncan. Not knowing

Clifford is after him, Duncan is now a homeless, vagrant loner. He gets into a fight

and is beaten after disturbing a middle-aged woman, Tracy (Colleen Dewhurst), in atavern, and later follows her to her apartment. Feeling sorry for his disastrous

appearance and for the fact that his attempts at conversation with her started the

fight in the first place, Tracy makes light conversation with him. While they are in

the doorway talking, Tracy's phone rings. As she goes to answer it, Duncan lets

himself into her apartment. Tracy does not tell him to leave right away nor does she

explicitly rebuff his awkward proposal to visit her for coffee the next night,

assuming or hoping it will be the last of him she will see.

Meanwhile, an increasingly obsessed and vindictive Clifford, having confided to a

former partner (Ron O'Neal) that his intention is to kill Duncan rather than arrest

him, follows the trail to the tavern where the fight took place, then to Tracy's

residence—the same night Duncan is likely to arrive for his visit. Clifford goes there

and tells Tracy just how dangerous her situation has become, revealing that

Duncan literally tore and hacked up Mandrakis' children with his bare hands,

rendering them virtually unrecognizable. Tracy reluctantly accepts to be Clifford'sbait at the tavern that evening, but Duncan does not arrive and she decides to

return home. Clifford then leaves Tracy's place, but she is then attacked by Duncan,

who was hiding in her closet. Tracy screams for help, and Clifford returns and

chases Duncan away from the scene. In the streets of downtown Los Angeles, he

loses Duncan's trail.

Jill Johnson is now an adult, married with two young children. One night, she and

her husband Stephen go out to dinner in celebration of a promotion, and a friend

named Sharon babysits her children. At the restaurant, Jill gets a telephone call

from someone asking, "Have you checked the children?" Jill panics and calls

Sharon. It appears that nothing is wrong at first, but then the call is suddenly

disconnected. The police arrive and escort Jill back home and finds that everythingwas fine. Clifford tries to call Jill, but finds that the line was disconnected. Jill and

Stephen sleep. Later, Jill goes down for a glass of milk, when the lights go out. She

goes back upstairs and gets in bed once again. She picks up the phone and realizes

the phone line is dead. The closet door opens a little, and she hears the voice of

Curt Duncan. She tries to awaken Stephen, who turns around, revealing that Curt is

actually in the bed. He rips Jill's nightgown and chases her around the room.

Clifford arrives and shoots Curt, killing him. Stephen is revealed to be in the closet,

alive but seemingly unconscious. As Clifford comforts Jill, the last view is of the

house, in view of the frightening eyes of Curt Duncan.

The Amityville Horror (1979 film)

George and Kathy Lutz are a young married couple who have recently purchased a

home and move into the property. George appears not to be strong of faith, but

Kathy is at least a nominal Catholic. The couple turn to Father Delaney to bless the

home, but Delaney encounters troubles in trying to bless the home, including a

room full of flies, out of season; violent stomach sickness; and later, blisters on his

palm when trying to make a phone call to Kathy at their home.

As he continues to help the Lutz Family, Delaney experiences more strange events

(his car brakes and steering malfunction) and frustrations (lack of support by hissuperiors in the diocese). He ultimately appears to lose faith, becoming blind and

having a breakdown.

George begins to be more sullen and angry over perceived cold in the house, and

obsesses with splitting logs and keeping the fireplace stoked. One of the two boys

suffers a crushed hand when a sash window falls on it, and the little girl has an

imaginary friend, Jody, who seems to be of a malevolent nature. Kathy catches a

glimpse of two red, swine-like eyes outside the daughter's second-story bedroom

window. Even the family dog obsesses over a secret room in the basement.

George's land surveying business begins to suffer with his lack of attendance, and

his partner is concerned. The business partner's wife, very sensitive to the

paranormal, is at once both repulsed and intrigued by the things she feels when atthe house.

The Lutz Family witness a black, bubbling substance coming up in the toilets; an

"ooze" coming down from nail holes in the walls; a babysitter being trapped in a

closet despite it not having a locking doorknob; the disappearance of $1,500 in

cash; and Kathy's aunt, a nun, running from the house and vomiting. Throughout


14/177

the strange incidents, Kathy observes George's persistent waking up at 3:15 am,

feeling he must go check on the boathouse. She also has nightmares in which she

is given details about the killings of the home's prior family.

Research at the library and county records office suggest that the house is built

atop a Shinnecock burial ground and that a known Satanic worshipper named

John Ketchum had once lived on the land.

Finally, the paranormal events come to a head one stormy night and drive the

family to flee, abandoning their home and belongings. The final titles reads:

"George and Kathleen Lutz and their family never reclaimed their house or theirpersonal belongings. Today they live in another state.”

Dawn of the Dead (2004 film)

After finishing a long shift, nurse Ana returns to her suburban neighborhood and

her husband, Luis. Caught up in a scheduled date night, they miss an emergency

news bulletin. The next morning, a neighborhood girl enters their bedroom and

kills Luis, who immediately reanimates as a zombie and attacks Ana. She flees in

her car but crashes and passes out. Upon waking, Ana joins with Police Sergeant

Kenneth Hall, electronics salesman Michael, petty criminal Andre and his pregnant

wife, Luda. They break into a nearby mall and are attacked by a zombified security

guard, who scratches Luda. They are also confronted by three living guards — C.J.,Bart, and Terry — who make them surrender their weapons in exchange for refuge.

They split into groups to secure the mall and then go to the roof, where they see

another survivor, Andy, who is stranded alone in his gun store across the zombie-

infested parking lot.

The next day, a delivery truck carrying more survivors enters the lot, with zombies

in close pursuit. C.J. and Bart wish to turn them away but are overruled and

disarmed. The newcomers include Norma, Steve Marcus, Tucker, Monica, Glen,

Frank and his daughter, Nicole. Another woman is too ill to walk; she is wheeled

inside via wheelbarrow only to die and reanimate. After she is killed, the group

determines that the disease is passed by bites. Andre leaves to see Luda, who has

kept her scratch hidden from the group. They realize that Frank has been bitten andis a potential threat. After some debate, Frank elects to be isolated. When he dies

and turns, Kenneth shoots him.

Over time, Kenneth and Andy start a friendship by way of messages written on a

whiteboard; romance also buds between Ana and Michael, and Nicole and Terry.

One day, the power goes out. CJ, Bart, Michael, and Kenneth enter the parking

The group decides to fight their way to the local marina and travel on Steve's yacht

to an island on Lake Michigan. They begin reinforcing two shuttle buses from the

parking garage for their escape. However, they also need to pick up Andy, who isstarving. They strap food and a walkie-talkie onto the dog, Chips, and lower him

into the parking lot; the zombies have no interest in him. Chips gets into Andy's

store safely but a zombie follows through the dog door. Nicole, fond of Chips,

crashes the delivery truck into the gun store, where she is trapped by a zombified

Andy. Kenneth, Michael, Tucker, Terry, and C.J. reach the gun store via the sewers

and kill Andy, rescuing Nicole. They grab ammunition and go back to the mall.

The Mothman Prophecies

Newspaper columnist John Klein and his wife Mary are involved in an accident

when Mary swerves to avoid a black, flying figure. John survives the crash

unscathed, but Mary is hospitalized. After Mary dies of an unrelated brain tumor,

John discovers mysterious drawings of the creature that she had created prior to

the night of the accident.

Two years later, John becomes lost and inexplicably finds himself hundreds of

miles off his route in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Driving in the middle of the

night, his car breaks down, and he walks to a nearby house to get help. The owner,Gordon Smallwood, reacts violently to John's appearance and holds him at gun

point. Local police officer Connie Mills defuses the situation while Gordon explains

that this is the third consecutive night John has knocked on his door asking to use

a phone, much to John's confusion. John stays at a local motel and considers how

he ended up so far from his original destination.

Officer Mills mentions to John that many strange things have been occurring in

the past few weeks, and people report seeing a large winged creature like a giant

moth with red eyes. Connie tells John about a strange dream she had, in which the

words "wake up, number 37" were spoken to her. While conversing with Gordon

one day, it is revealed to John that he had heard voices from his sink telling him

that in Denver, "99 will die". While discussing the day's events at a local diner, John notices that the news is showing a story on an airplane crash in Denver that

killed all 99 passengers aboard. The next night, Gordon frantically explains that he

had met the voices in his head, a being named Indrid Cold.

Later that night, Gordon calls John and says that he is standing with a character

named Indrid Cold. While John keeps Cold on the line, Officer Mills checks on

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/point_pleasant,_west_virginia


21/177

Gordon. Cold answers John's questions, convincing him that he is a supernatural

being. This episode starts a string of supernatural calls to John's motel room. One

tells him that there will be a great tragedy on the Ohio River. Later, John receives a

call from Gordon and rushes to his home to check on him. He finds Gordon

outside, dead from exposure.

John becomes obsessed with the being, dubbed Mothman. He meets an expert on

the subject, Alexander Leek, who explains its nature and discourages John from

getting further involved. However, when John learns the Governor plans to tour a

chemical plant located on the Ohio River the following day, he becomes convincedthe tragedy will occur there. Mills and the Governor ignore his warnings, and

nothing happens during the tour. Soon afterwards, John receives a mysterious

message that instructs him to await a call from his deceased wife Mary back in

Georgetown, and returns home.

On Christmas Eve, Officer Mills calls and convinces him to ignore the phone call

from "Mary," return to Point Pleasant, and join her. Though anguished, John

agrees. As John reaches the Silver Bridge, a malfunctioning traffic light causes

traffic congestion. As John walks onto the bridge to investigate, the bolts and

supports of the bridge strain. The bridge comes apart, and John realizes that the

prophesied tragedy about the Ohio River was about the bridge. As the bridge

collapses, Officer Mills's car falls into the water. John jumps in after her and pullsher from the river and up to safety. As the two sit on the back of an ambulance, they

see that 36 people have been killed, making Connie the "number 37" from her

dream. The epilogue displays a series of graphics that state the cause of the bridge

collapse was never fully determined. It also states that although the Mothman has

been sighted in other parts of the world, it was never seen again in Point Pleasant.

Evil Dead II

The film begins with a new beginning similar to the first film. Ash Williams and his

girlfriend, Linda, take a romantic vacation to a seemingly abandoned cabin in the

woods. While there, Ash plays a tape recorder from the cabin's previous inhabitant

Professor Knowby. The tape features Knowby reciting passages from the

Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (or Book of the Dead), which he has discovered during an

archaeological dig. However, the recorded incantation unleashes an evil force

which kills and later possesses Linda, forcing Ash to decapitate his girlfriend with a

shovel when she attacks him, he then buries her.The film then picks up where the first film ended, where Ash is attacked by an evil

force and is thrown across the forest, becoming possessed by the demon. However,

when the sun appears, the spirit is forced out of him returning Ash to normal. In an

attempt to flee the property, Ash speeds away in his car only to discover the bridge

leading out of the woods is destroyed. As night falls, the evil force chases Ash back

to the cabin. Linda then returns from the dead and attacks Ash, biting his hand with

her severed head. Ash brings Linda's head to the shed, where her headless body

attacks him with a chainsaw. Ash gains the upper hand and slashes the body before

turning the chainsaw on Linda's head, finally killing her. Later, Ash discovers

Linda's bite has caused his own hand to become murderously possessed, and he is

forced to dismember it. When he finds that it still lives on after being severed, heseemingly kills it with a shotgun he finds in the cabin.

Meanwhile, Knowby's daughter, Annie, returns from a dig with more pages of the

Necronomicon in tow. Having been unable to contact her father at his isolated

cabin, Annie, with her research partner Ed Getley in tow, drives there, only to find

the destroyed bridge blocking her route. The pair enlist the help of two road

workers, Jake and his girlfriend Bobby Joe, to guide them along an alternate trail

to the cabin. In the cabin, demonic attacks begin to erode Ash's psyche after he is

attacked by his own reflection in a mirror an inanimate objects around the house

begin laughing at him. As Annie and her party arrive at the cabin, Ash, mistaking

them for an evil presence, fires at them with a shotgun, wounding Bobby Joe.

Believing that Ash murdered Knowby, he is beaten unconscious by Jake and

thrown into cabin's cellar. Annie then listens to her father's recording in which he

describes how his wife, Henrietta, was possessed by a demon and he, unable to

bring himself to dismember her, buried her in the cellar.Suddenly, Henrietta rises from the cellar floor and attacks Ash. The group releases

Ash before locking the cellar door once again in order to trap Henrietta. Ed is soon

possessed and subsequently dismembered by an axe-wielding Ash. The group is

then visited by the spirit of Annie's father, who tells her that, by using the pages of

the Necronomicon that she brought with her, she can save the group. Bobby Joe is

attacked by Ash's still-living hand and attempts to flee, but is attacked by the

demon trees in the woods and dragged to her death. Annie translates two of the

pages, learning that, by reciting incantations that they hold, she can first force the

evil presence to manifest itself in the flesh, before opening a rift in time and space

to send it away. Before she can begin translating and reciting the incantations, Jake

turns on them and throws the pages into the cellar, holding them at gunpoint toforce them to go looking for Bobby Joe. Outside the relative safety of the cabin, Ash

is once again possessed and turns on his remaining companions, incapacitating

Jake. Annie retreats to the cabin and, mistaking him for the demon, accidentally

stabs Jake. She drags him to safety, only to accidentally leave him near the cellar

door, where he is dragged into the cellar by Henrietta and killed. The possessed


25/177

25

Ash tries to kill Annie, but stops when he sees Linda's necklace, reminding him of

her. He is freed from the possession, and manages to convince Annie that he is

normal again.

Ash, with Annie's help, modifies the chainsaw and attaches it to where his right

hand had been. Arming himself with both the chainsaw and his shotgun, Ash

journeys into the cellar to find the missing pages of the Necronomicon. He finds

them (and Jake's skeleton), before proceeding to leave. However, as he is going up

the steps to safety, Henrietta surprises him and temporarily disables him, before

going after Annie. Ash then recovers as Henrietta transform into a demonic formwith a much longer neck. Annie recites a song that Henrietta used to sing to her as

a child. Distracted, the deadite is dismembered by Ash, before he blasts the head

apart with the shotgun.

Annie chants the first incantation. The incantation causes the evil to manifest and

attack the cabin, but, before she can recite the second, Ash's possessed hand kills

her with a dagger. As Ash fends off the evil by impaling it in the eye with the

chainsaw, Annie uses her dying breaths to recite the second incantation, opening

up a whirling temporal portal which draws in not only the evil force, but nearby

trees, the Oldsmobile, and Ash himself. Ash and his Oldsmobile fall through the

portal and out of the sky and he is immediately confronted by a group of knights

who initially mistake him for a being called a "deadite", but they are quicklydistracted when a real one appears. Ash blasts the harpy-like deadite with his

shotgun. The knights begin cheering as Ash realizes he has been brought to the

past and cries out in horror.

Paranormal Activity

Young couple Katie and Micah move to a new house in San Diego. Katie claims an

evil presence has been haunting her since she was a child, so Micah sets up a

camera in their bedroom to record any paranormal activity that occurs while they

sleep. Katie hires psychic Dr. Fredrichs, who assesses that Katie is being haunted by

a demon that feeds off of negative energy and is intent on tormenting Katie. He

advises them not to communicate with the demon and to contact demonologist Dr.

Johann Averies if needed. Katie seems interested, but Micah does not take this

seriously.The camera manages to capture many strange occurrences, which are minor at

first, such as noises, flickering lights and doors moving on their own. On the

thirteenth night they awaken to the sound of the demon screeching. During the

fifteenth night, Katie, in an apparent trance, stands beside the bed and stares at

Micah for two hours before going outside. Micah tries to convince Katie to go back

inside, but she refuses and appears to remember none of it the next day.

One day Micah brings home a Ouija board, which infuriates Katie. When they leave

the house, the camera records an unseen force moving the planchette to form an

unknown message on the Ouija board, which then spontaneously catches fire.

Katie sees the video and pleads with Micah to contact the demonologist, but again

he refuses. During the seventeenth night, Micah sprinkles talcum powder in thehallway and bedroom. The couple are awakened by creaks, and find non human

footprints leading to the attic, where Micah finds a burnt photograph of a young

Katie, previously thought to have been destroyed in an unexplained house fire.

Katie finally calls the demonologist, Dr. Averies, but he is unavailable.

They eventually call Dr. Fredrichs back to the house, but he is overwhelmed by the

demonic energy upon entering. He apologetically leaves despite their pleas,

stating that his presence only makes the demon angrier. During the twentieth

night, Katie is pulled out of the bedroom by an unseen force. When Micah rushes

to help her, the demon slams the door on him. Micah eventually rescues her but

feels the demon's presence still lurking upstairs, so they head downstairs to sleep

on the couch. The following morning Micah discovers bite marks on Katie's back.

Later, Micah finds a catatonic Katie sitting in the hallway, gripping a cross so tightly

that it bloodies her palm. He angrily burns the cross and photograph in thefireplace, and packs to head for a motel. Just as they are set to leave, Katie,

seemingly out of touch with reality, insists they will be okay now.

The following night, Katie gets out of bed and stares at Micah for two hours before

going downstairs. After a moment of silence, Katie screams Micah's name, and he

abruptly rushes to help her. Katie's screaming stops and heavy footsteps are heard

coming up the stairs. Micah's body is violently hurled at the camera, which is

knocked off the tripod, revealing Katie standing in the doorway. She slowly walks

into the room, stained with blood. She crawls to Micah's body and then looks up at

the camera with a grin. As she lunges toward the camera, her face takes on a

demonic appearance, just as the scene cuts to black. An epilogue text states that

Micah's body was discovered by the police on October 11, 2006, and Katie'swhereabouts remain unknown.

Session 9

Gordon Fleming is the owner of a small asbestos removal company. The stresses of

work and being a new father are causing problems between him and his wife,

Wendy. He is in a desperate financial bind and makes a bid to remove the asbestos

of the Danvers State Hospital, closed fifteen years ago, within one week. His team

consists of Mike, a law schooldropout who is knowledgeable about the asylum's

history; Phil, who is filled with bitterness after losing his girlfriend and finds solace

in smoking marijuana; Hank, whom Phil lost his girlfriend to; and Jeff, Gordon's

nephew, who suffers from severe nyctophobia.As work begins inside the asylum, Mike finds a box containing nine taped sessions

with a patient named Mary Hobbes, who had dissociative identity disorder. The

purpose of the sessions, which Mike becomes increasingly engrossed in, is to

unveil what happened on Christmas night in Lowell, her hometown, twenty-two

years before. One of her personalities, "the Princess", is childlike and innocent,

knowing only the Christmas presents - a china doll for Mary and a knife for her

brother, Peter - and that they played hide-and-seek after their parents went to bed.

Another personality, "Billy", is both childlike and protective. He lives "in the eyes"

and saw what happened, but refuses to let Mary find out. The doctor repeatedly

asks about the third personality, "Simon", whom "the Princess" knows nothing

about and "Billy" fears.In the tunnels beneath the property, Hank finds a cache of antique Morgan dollar

coins and other silver items, scattered from the crematory nearby. He returns that

night to steal the artifacts and finds an orbitoclast. He hears odd sounds in the

tunnels and discovers an empty peanut butter jar. He hears someone behind him

and tries to escape the tunnels, but he is attacked by an unseen assailant. The next

morning, the other four learn that Hank abruptly broke up with his girlfriend and

left town. Gordon, who frequently calls his wife and saw Phil speaking to two

unknown men during one telephone call, suspects that Phil had something to do

with Hank's disappearance, causing tension between the group. He later opens up

to Phil and admits that he hit Wendy after she accidentally spilled a pot of boiling

water on his leg; he has been trying to apologize over the phone ever since.

Phil calls in Craig McManus to replace Hank and tells Mike that he thinks Gordon

has become a liability. Jeff finds Hank alive and goes to tell the others, but Hank is

gone again when Jeff returns with the others. They split up to find him, but Mikequickly returns to the session tapes. "Billy" refuses to awaken "Simon", admitting

to the doctor only that "Simon" was behind whatever happened that night. Phil

finds Hank in one of the tunnels, half-naked and wearing sunglasses. The power

goes out at that point, trapping Jeff in a pitch-black tunnel and stopping the ninth

session tape short. Mike returns the power and the ninth session continues with

"Simon", the same voice Gordon has been hearing since the job began, taking

over. It is revealed that Peter scared Mary while they were playing and she fell on

her doll, breaking it and badly scarring herself. "Simon" then took her over and

killed Peter and their parents with the new knife. As the recording continues, Phil

finds Gordon in Mary's former room, staring at his own photos stuck to the wall. A

shaken Jeff returns to the van, where he is attacked by an unseen assailant.The next day, Craig arrives at the asylum. Gordon finds Hank, with the orbitoclast

protruding from his eye, in one of the larger rooms. Phil is also present and tells

Gordon to wake up when Gordon accuses him of attacking the others. As Craig

finds them, it is shown that Phil's presence was in Gordon's mind. Possessed by

"Simon", Gordon enters a dissociative state and kills Craig with the orbitoclast. It is

shown that he attacked Hank that night and, when found by Phil in Mary's room,

killed Phil before finding and killing Mike and Jeff. It is also shown that he killed

his wife and baby when the pot of boiling water was spilled on him. He breaks

down and uses his broken cell phone to apologize to Wendy. The film ends with the

doctor asking, "And where do you live, Simon?" and "Simon" answering, "I live in

the weak and the wounded, Doc.”

A Tale of Two Sisters

The movie opens in a mental institution where a girl named Su-mi is being treated

for shock and psychosis. She is questioned by a doctor who asks if she can speak

about the day that led her to being admitted to the hospital.

The next scene shows her returning with her father and younger sister, Su-yeon, to

the family's secluded estate. At a tense family dinner, their stepmother announces

she has invited the sister's uncle and his wife to dinner the next day. Su-mi tells her

stepmother she will not eat with them and the two sisters leave the table. That

night, Su-yeon experiences frightening visions, and Su-mi later has a disturbingdream of a ghost in her room.

Su-mi finds several family photos that reveal that their stepmother was once a

nurse her father worked with and was also a live-in nurse for the girls' mother. Su-

mi discovers bruises on Su-yeon's arm, and angrily confronts her stepmother about

it. That night, the sister's uncle and his wife arrive for a visit. The uncle's wife has a

violent attack; when she recovers, she tells the uncle that she saw a girl under the

kitchen sink. The stepmother also sees this girl and tells the father that ever since

the sisters returned home, bizarre things have been happening in the house. Later,

the stepmother finds one of her birds dead in its cage. Infuriated, she goes into Su-

yeon's room, where she discovers mutilated photos of her, and finds her other bird

dead. She throws Su-yeon into the closet and refuses to let her out until sheapologizes. Su-mi lets her sister out and comforts her.

The father blames Su-mi for the trauma the family has been going through since

she returned. Su-mi retorts that her stepmother is to blame because she has been

attacking Su-yeon. The father tells her twice that Su-yeon is dead but Su-mi refuses

to believe him. The next morning, the stepmother is seen dragging a large

bloodied sack through the house. Believing that Su-yeon is inside, Su-mi goes to

find a knife to open the bag with. Her stepmother ambushes her and a violent fight

ensues. Su-mi stabs her stepmother in the hand with scissors, but is hit by her and

falls unconscious.

As Su-mi awakens, her stepmother taunts her. Su-mi quietly asks her stepmother

to help her. Her stepmother obliges and goes to kill Su-mi, who looks at peace. The

stepmother is interrupted by the sound of the father returning home. He discovers

Su-mi unconscious and notices a bloody wound on her hand. He then finds the

stepmother in another room, who appears confused and reacts with shock. It isrevealed that Su-mi has in fact been alone in the house with her father, and the

events that transpired between Su-yeon and the stepmother were merely

manifestations of her multiple personalities.

The father and real stepmother take Su-mi back to the hospital. Later, the

stepmother hears someone running upstairs in Su-yeon's bedroom. She enters the

room, which is extremely cold. A ghost appears, and the stepmother looks terrified

as something is approaching her. Her scream is heard off-camera and she is

presumably killed by the ghost.

Flashback scenes reveal that the father had come with the stepmother after what

was an apparent marriage or engagement. His ex-wife, the uncle and the uncle's

wife are also there. Tensions at the dining room table cause Su-mi and Su-yeon toleave. The sisters's real mother comforts Su-yeon, then hangs herself in the closet

when Su-yeon goes to sleep. Su-yeon awakens and finds her mother's body. She

shakes the lifeless body in an attempt to revive it, and pulls the closet down on top

of her, weakly calling for help.

The stepmother discovers the wardrobe, and is startled when she sees Su-yeon's

hand underneath, scratching the floor. She does nothing to help her and quickly

leaves the room. She changes her mind and attempts to go back, but encounters

Su-mi. The two have a heated confrontation as Su-yeon is slowly crushed to death

by the weight of the wardrobe. Su-mi leaves the house. For a brief moment, she

looks back as though sensing something is wrong, but sees her stepmother and

continues her walk, unaware of what has happened.

Suspiria

Suzy Bannion, an American ballet student, arrives from her flight in Munich,

Germany on a stormy night to enroll in a prestigious dance academy in Freiburg.

After Suzy is unable to gain access into the academy, she spends the night in town.

Pat Hingle, a student who is expelled from the academy is seen by Suzy leaving

and looking frightened. Pat finds refuge at a friend's apartment in town. After she

locks herself in the bathroom, a mysterious arm smothers her against the glass.

Her friend hears this and tries to scream for help but Pat is repeatedly stabbed and

bound with a cord before she is hung in mid-air. Her friend is killed directly belowby the falling glass and metal.

Upon Suzy's arrival at the academy the next morning, she is introduced to

Madame Blanc, the vice-directoress, and Miss Tanner, one of the instructors. She is

escorted to the ballet students' locker room, where she meets Sarah and Olga, the

latter with whom she has arranged to stay off-campus. After a strange encounter

with the academy's cook, Suzy faints during a lesson. Later that night, she awakens

to discover that she has been moved into a dormitory room against her wishes. The

doctors tell her that she is to be "medicated" with a glass of wine daily. Suzy

befriends Sarah after the two are roomed together. As the students prepare for

dinner, hundreds of maggots fall from the ceiling. The students are told this was

due to spoiled food boxed in the attic. The girls are invited to sleep in the practicehall overnight. During the night, Sarah identifies a distinctive whistling snore as

that of the school's director, who is not due to return to the academy for several

weeks.

The next morning, Tanner orders the school's blind piano player, Daniel, to leave

the academy immediately after his guide dog bites Albert. Later that night, Sarah

overhears the teacher's footsteps and begins to count them whilst Suzy becomes

drowsy and falls asleep. While Daniel and his guide dog cross a plaza, Daniel

senses a strange presence. Suddenly, his seemingly calm dog lunges at Daniel and

tears his throat out, killing him. The next day, Suzy recalls the words "iris" and

"secret" from Pat's mumbling. Later that night, Suzy and Sarah go for a swim while

Sarah reveals to Suzy that she and Pat were close friends, and recalls that Pat had

been "talking strangely for some time". The two girls search for Pat's notes, but

they appear to have been stolen. Suzy suddenly becomes drowsy and falls asleep

before Sarah flees after hearing footsteps. Sarah is chased by an unseen pursuerand, thinking she will be able to escape through a window into another room, falls

into a huge pile of razor wire. She struggles in anguish until a mysterious black-

gloved hand of a dark figure appears and slits her throat.

The following morning, Blanc and Tanner inform Suzy that Sarah has abruptly left

the academy. Confused and suspicious, Suzy goes to meet one of Sarah's

acquaintances, a psychologist, Frank Mandel, who explains that the academy was

founded by Helena Markos, a cruelGreek émigré who was widely believed to be a

witch. Dr. Mandel's colleague, Professor Millus, then tells Suzy that a coven can

only survive with their queen. Upon Suzy's return, she discovers that all of the

students have gone to the theater. She overhears the footsteps Sarah identified

before and follows them to Blanc's office. She suddenly recalls Pat's mumblingafter discovering irises painted all over the walls of Blanc's office. After entering a

hidden passage, she discovers Blanc, Tanner and the staff forming a ritual where

they plot Suzy's death. Unseen, Suzy then turns to find Sarah's body nailed to a

coffin. Frightened, Suzy then sneaks into another room, where she accidentally

awakens a shadowy figure who reveals herself as Helena Markos. Helena then

orders Sarah's nearby corpse to rise from the dead to murder Suzy. Suzy then stabs

Helena through the throat with one of the room's decorative knives, which appears

to kill her (she fades from view screaming) and Sarah's reanimated corpse.

Helena's demise causes the building to set alight. As the academy is slowly

destroyed with the coven inside, Suzy manages to escape before the entire

building catches on fire.

Signs

The Hess family lives on an isolated farm in Doylestown, Bucks County,

Pennsylvania. Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) is a former priest whose wife, Colleen,

died in a horrific traffic accident caused by a town local, Ray Reddy (Shyamalan). No

longer practicing religiously, Graham lives with his asthmatic son, Morgan (Rory

Culkin), daughter Bo (Abigail Breslin), who leaves water glasses all over the house

claiming that the water tastes funny, and Graham's younger brother, Merrill

( Joaquin Phoenix), a former minor league baseball star who never made it to the

major leagues because he swung too hard and struck out too often. Grahamdiscovers a huge crop circle in his field, reports of violent animal behavior have

spread across town, and one of the Hess' dogs tries to attack Bo and Morgan.

Graham discovers that the farm is being watched at night, and he and Merrill

chase a tall, dark figure from the roof of the barn and into the crops, where it

quickly disappears. Meanwhile, crop circles similar to the one in Graham's field

appear around the world. Morgan hears a strange noise on a baby monitor, but it

stops before he can investigate further. That evening, Graham goes to the crop

circle, and hears the sound again. After spotting a green leg sticking out of the

cornrows, he flees to the house. A news report reveals that strange lights in the sky

have been spotted over Mexico City.

That night, Graham reveals to Merrill that he lost his faith after the death of hiswife. A flashback shows Graham approaching the scene of an accident. He sees his

wife pinned to a tree by a truck, and the officer tells him that his wife won't live.

The following morning, Graham visits Ray Reddy's house, whom he finds bleeding.

Ray apologizes for the accident, and tells Graham that he is fleeing to a nearby lake

as he believes "they don't like water." Graham sadly and kindly accepts his

apology, and Ray leaves. Meanwhile, Merril watches the news, and sees a video

taken at a child's birthday party in Brazil. The footage shows an alien crouching

behind bushes, then slowly walking from out the bushes and across a small alley

where it disappears. Merril is shocked as the footage is shown. Back at Ray's house

Graham goes into the kitchen, where Ray has an alien locked in his pantry. Graham

uses the blade of a kitchen knife to try to see the alien's reflection under the door.

When the alien attempts to grab at him through the crack at the floor, Graham

reacts by cutting off some of the alien's fingers, causing the creature to scream in

pain. Back at the Hess farm, Merril resorts to joining Morgan and Bo with their tinfoil hats. Graham returns home and the family decides between going to the lake

or staying at the farm, opting to board up all the doors and windows and remain in

the house. While Graham and Merrill do this, Morgan and Bo watch a news report

on the growing number of sightings around the world. The baby monitor again

starts emitting the alien noises, and the television loses its signal. They finish

boarding up the windows, and all move into the living room. One of the dogs,

called Isobel, left tied up outside, barks loudly and is silenced, and an alien is

heard climbing up the house and onto the roof, where it breaks into the attic. The

family moves to the basement and props the door closed with a pick axe. Graham

and Merrill ward off an alien that attacks Morgan, who then has anasthma attack.

The news channel declares that the aliens have seemingly left earth.The next morning, Graham decides to leave the basement and find Morgan's

medicine. The family follows, and to their horror, find an alien still inside the

house. It is revealed that it is the same alien from the pantry whose fingers Graham

had cut off. The unconscious Morgan is again attacked by the alien and taken

hostage. The alien acts as a predator and attempts to poison Morgan by releasing a

toxin from its body, but because he is having an asthma attack (which prevents him

fully from breathing), the poison doesn't get into his lungs. Graham remembers

his wife's dying words, which were "Tell Merrill to swing away". He tells Merrill to

"swing away" and Merrill attacks the alien with a baseball bat, and it releases

Morgan. They discover that water reacts like acid with the alien's skin, and Merrill

smashes all the water glasses Bo had left all over the house. Finally, Merrill hits the

alien into furniture and water splashes on its face, killing it. Graham administers

Morgan's medication, and the boy recovers.

Some time later, the Hess family has recovered from the incident and they appearto be doing much better than before. In the final scene, Graham is shown returning

to his priestly duties, apparently having regained his faith.

The Beyond

In Louisiana's Seven Doors Hotel in 1927, a lynch mob murders an artist named

Schweick, whom they believe to be a warlock. This opens one of the Seven Doors of

Death, allowing the dead to cross into the world of the living. Several decades later,

Liza, a young woman from New York, inherits the hotel and plans to re-open it. Her

renovation work activates the hell portal, and she contends with increasingly

strange incidents. A plumber named Joe investigates flooding in the cellar and a

demonic hand gouges out his eye. His body and another are later discovered by a

hotel maid, Martha.Liza encounters a blind woman named Emily, who warns that reopening the hotel

would be a mistake. Joe's wife Mary-Anne and their daughter Jill arrive at the

hospital morgue to claim Joe's corpse. Jill finds her mother lying on the floor

unconscious, her face burned by acid. Liza meets with Dr. John McCabe, and

receives a phone call informing her of Mary-Anne's death. After the funerals, Liza

encounters Emily at the hotel. Emily tells Liza the story of Schweick, and warns her

to not enter room 36. When Emily examines Schweick's painting, she begins to

bleed and flees the hotel.

Liza ignores Emily's advice, and investigates room 36. She discovers an ancient

book titledEibon. She sees Schweick's corpse nailed to the bathroom wall. She flees

the room in terror, but is stopped by John. She takes him to room 36 but both thecorpse and the book are gone. Liza describes her fearful encounters with Emily, but

John insists that Emily is not real. While in town, Liza spots a copy of Eibon in the

window of a book store. The shop owner denies the book's existence, and it is no

longer there when Liza looks for it. At the hotel, a worker named Arthur attempts to

repair the same leak as Joe, but is killed off-screen by ghouls.

Joe's animated corpse emerges from the bathtub. Joe pushes her head into an

exposed nail, killing her and destroying one of her eyes. The walking corpses of

Schweik, Joe, Mary-Anne, Martin and Arthur invade Emily's house. She pleads with

them to leave her alone, and insists she will not return with Schweik. She

commands her guide dog to attack the corpses, but the dog turns on Emily, tearing

out her throat.At the hotel, spirits terrorize Liza. John breaks into Emily's house, which appears to

have been abandoned for years, and finds Eibon. He returns to the hotel and tells

Liza that it is a gateway to Hell. They flee to the hospital, but it has been overrun by

zombies. Liza is attacked, but John gets a gun out of his desk and shoots the

shambling corpses. Only Harris and Jill are found still alive, but Harris is killed by

flying shards of glass. Jill, having shown signs of possession since the funeral,

finally attacks Liza. John is forced to kill Jill.

Escaping the zombies, John and Liza rush down a set of stairs but find themselves

back in the basement of the hotel. They move forward through the flooded

labyrinth and stumble into a supernatural wasteland of dust and corpses. No

matter which direction they travel, they find themselves back at their starting point.They are ultimately blinded just like Emily, succumb to the darkness, and

The Crazies

In the town of Ogden Marsh, Iowa, David Dutten (Timothy Olyphant), the local

sheriff is enjoying a baseball game. His deputy, Russell Clank ( Joe Anderson), spots

Rory Hamill, a local resident (and the town drunk who's has been sober for two

years), entering the outfield holding a shotgun. David, knowing his history, and

owing to his behaviour, believes he has started drinking again. David is forced to

shoot and kill the unresponsive Rory when he raised his weapon and aimed it at

the Sheriff. David and his wife Judy (Radha Mitchell), the community doctor, begin

to notice other town residents exhibiting bizarre behavior, including listlessnessand repetitive speech. The next night, a local farmer burns his house down with his

wife and son trapped inside, killing them. By the time firefighters and other

townspeople arrive, he is found mowing his lawn while his house burns.

While investigating the discovery of a pilot's body in a swamp, David and Russell

discover a large military aircraft that crashed into the river few days before, which

David realizes has contaminated the drinking water and caused the town residents'

odd behavior. Against the mayor's direct orders, he shuts off the town's water

supply. Soon after, communication services are lost in town, and soldiers arrive to

take all residents to quarantine at the high school. Everyone is examined for

symptoms of infection. Judy does not pass the examination and is separated from

David. She explains her fever is due to pregnancy, but is sedated anyway. Shewakes strapped to a gurney as the perimeter of the facility is breached by the

infected townspeople in an effort to escape. The military personnel evacuate,

abandoning Judy and the other civilians. David is nearing evacuation, but escapes

and rejoins Russell. They rescue Judy and her hospital assistant, Becca (Danielle

stretchers.

David, Judy, Russell, and Becca make their way out of town on foot, unable to find

a working vehicle. They encounter Becca's boyfriend, Scotty, when they pass

through his farm. Soldiers raid the farm, shoot Scotty and his mother, and burn the

bodies. They learn that the soldiers have been ordered to shoot all civilians who

have potentially been exposed. The group repair an older patrol car being stored in

David's and Judy's garage, and are ambushed by the infected family of Rory. After

a struggle, Russell shoots the infected multiple times, and then claims it was toensure they were dead. This greatly disturbs Judy, who argues with David about

Russell's state of mind. Once on the road, they are spotted by an attack helicopter

and drive into a car wash for cover. The infected attack and kill Becca by hanging

her as the car drives out, and the helicopter destroys the car as the rest of the group

runs back to try to help Becca. On foot, Russell disables a passing government SUV

with a police spike strip. The driver, presumably a government agent, reveals the

cargo plane contained "Trixie," a "Rhabdoviridae prototype" biological weapon. It

was en route to Texas to be destroyed by incineration when the plane crashed.

Enraged, Russell shoots the driver and threatens Judy and David. When confronted

about his behavior, Russell realizes he is infected and, after being disarmed, begs

to go on with Judy and David. He later dies while distracting soldiers at aroadblock, so that Judy and David can sneak past.

David and Judy arrive at a truck stop to search for a vehicle, discovering that the

military have also executed those who were evacuated. Fending off three infected,

they escape in a semi-truck. Ogden Marsh is destroyed in a massive explosion as

In the credits, Bruce Aune, a real newscaster from KCRG-TV 9 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa

reports that an explosion originating from the Dakon Pendrill chemical plant

started a massive fire in Ogden Marsh. He says a perimeter has been set and

civilians are not being allowed into the area. A Trixie-infected individual appears on

camera just before the signal is lost.

The Hills Have Eyes

A group of scientists are killed by a mutant named Pluto (Michael Bailey Smith).

Later, Bob Carter (Ted Levine) and his wife, Ethel Carter (Kathleen Quinlan) are

traveling fromCleveland, Ohio to San Diego, California for their silver anniversary.

With them are their teenage children Bobby (Dan Byrd), and Brenda (Emilie de

Ravin), eldest daughter Lynn (Vinessa Shaw), Lynn's husband Doug Bukowski

(Aaron Stanford), their baby daughter Catherine (Maisie Camilleri Preziosi), and

their German Shepherds, Beauty and Beast.

In the New Mexico desert, they encounter a gas station attendant named Jeb (TomBower), who tells them of a short-cut through the hills. Taking the supposed short-

cut, their tires are punctured by a hidden spike strip. Doug and Bob go look for

help, while the rest of the family stays behind. Bobby chases a panicked Beauty

into the hills and finds her mutilated body; frightened, he runs and falls, knocking

himself unconscious. A young female mutant namedRuby (Laura Ortiz) finds him

and protects him from her brother Goggle (Ezra Buzzington). Bob goes back to the

gas station for help, and upon investigation finds news clippings detailing various

disappearances that have occurred in the area. He realizes that the attendant

purposefully led them to danger by suggesting they take an alternative route

through the hills. When Bob exits he finds the hysterical Jeb, who commits suicide

in front of him. In fear, Bob attempts to flee, but is attacked by the mutant leader,Papa Jupiter (Billy Drago), and dragged into the mining caves by Jupiter, Jupiter's

eldest son Lizard (Robert Joy), and Pluto.

Bobby returns to the trailer, but doesn't mention Beauty's death not wanting to

frighten the rest of the family. Later that night, the family is awakened by Bob's

screams, and they all rush from the trailer, except for Brenda and the baby, who are

left behind. Outside they find Bob being burned alive on a stake and frantically try

to save him, but to no avail. Meanwhile, Pluto and Lizard use the distraction to

ransack the trailer, where Lizard beats and rapes Brenda. When Lynn returns to the

trailer she is greeted by Lizard and Pluto, and forced to let Lizard drink from her

breasts while her baby is held at gunpoint. When Ethel returns she is shot by

Lizard, and Lynn stabs Lizard in the leg, prompting him to shoot Lynn in the head.

Lizard and Pluto flee with the baby after Lizard attempts to shoot Brenda.

Doug and Bobby return to the trailer and discover Lynn and Ethel, who die shortly

afterward. Goggle, who is watching the Carters with a pair of binoculars, is attackedby Beast, who tears his throat out, killing him. The next morning, Doug and Beast

set off to rescue Catherine. Doug finds an abandoned nuclear testing village, and is

knocked unconscious by Big Mama (Ivana Turchetto) during his search. Upon

awakening, he escapes an ice box filled with human body parts and continues his

search, only to encounter Big Brain (Desmond Askew). After Big Brain tells him the

mutants' origins, Doug is attacked by Pluto, who severs two of his fingers with an

axe. Pluto almost kills Doug, but Doug manages to gain the upper hand while

Pluto is distracted, and kills him with his own axe.

Outside, Doug kills the mutant Cyst (Gregory Nicotero) and continues to search for

Catherine. After ordering Lizard to kill Catherine, Big Brain is mauled to death by

Beast. Lizard takes a cleaver and prepares to kill Catherine, but finds that Ruby hastaken her. Doug sees Ruby running through the hills with Catherine and follows

her. At the trailer, Brenda and Bobby prepare an explosive trap, which destroys the

trailer, apparently killing Papa Jupiter.

Doug catches up with Ruby, but before she can return Catherine, Lizard attacks

him. Lizard and Doug fight, and Lizard is presumed dead. When Doug turns his

back Lizard aims a shotgun at him, but Ruby tackles Lizard off a cliff, killing them

both. Bobby and Brenda find that Papa Jupiter managed to survive their trap, and

Brenda finishes him off. They are then reunited with Doug, Catherine and Beast. As

they celebrate their apparent victory, an unknown mutant watches through

binoculars from the hills.

28 Days Later

In Cambridge, three animal liberation activists break into a medical research

laboratory with the intent of freeing captive chimpanzees. They are interrupted by a

scientist, who desperately warns them that the chimps are infected with a highly

contagious rage-inducingvirus that is spread through blood and saliva. Ignoring

the scientist's pleas, the activists release a chimpanzee, who attacks one of them

and immediately infects her — leading her to attack and infect everyone else

present.

28 days later, in London, Jim (Cillian Murphy), a bicycle courier, awakens from acoma in St Thomas' Hospital. He finds the entire hospital deserted and wanders on

the streets of London, finding it deserted as well, with signs of catastrophe

everywhere. Desperate, he wanders into a church, where he finds a priest. Jim tries

to approach him, only to be attacked by the priest who turns out to be infected. He

is soon attacked by more infected as well, but is rescued by Selena (Naomie Harris)

and Mark (Noah Huntley).

Selena and Mark take Jim to their hideout, a small store in London Underground,

where they explain that while Jim was in a coma, a virus spread among the

populace, resulting in societal collapse. They also claim the virus has been reported

in Paris and New York City as well, suggesting the infection has spread worldwide.

The next morning, Selena and Mark accompany Jim to Jim's parents' house inDeptford, where he discovers they have committed suicide. That night, the three

are attacked by more infected. Mark is bitten, prompting Selena to kill him; she

later explains that the virus overwhelms its victims in 10 to 20 seconds, and should

Jim become infected she will kill him "in a heartbeat". They leave and eventually

spot some blinking Christmas lights from Balfron Tower, discovering two more

survivors — cab driver Frank (Brendan Gleeson) and his teenage daughter Hannah

(Megan Burns) — who allow them to take shelter. Frank informs them the next day

that their supplies — particularly water — are dwindling and plays them a pre-

recorded radio broadcast from a military blockade near Manchester, which claims

they have "the answer to infection" and promises to protect any survivors who

reach them.

The group board Frank's cab in search of the signal' source, and throughout the

trip they bond with one another through various situations. When the four reach

the deserted blockade, Frank is infected when a drop of blood from a dead bodyfalls into his eye. As he succumbs he is killed by arriving soldiers, who take the

remaining survivors to a fortified mansion under the command of Major Henry

West (Christopher Eccleston). During the group's stay, West reveals that his

"answer to infection" entails waiting for the infected to starve to death and luring

female survivors into sexual slavery, so that West's platoon can repopulate the

country. The group attempts to flee, but Jim is captured by the soldiers, along with

the dissenting Sergeant Farrell (Stuart McQuarrie). While imprisoned, Farrell

speculates that the virus has not spread beyond Great Britain and that the country

is being quarantined.

The next day, the girls are being prepared for gang-rape as two soldiers lead Jim

and Farrell to execution. When his escorts quarrel after killing Farrell, Jim escapesand spots a NATO aircraft flying overhead, proving Farrell's theory is correct. Jim

lures West and another soldier to the blockade, where Jim kills the latter and

leaves West stranded for arriving infected. He then runs back to the mansion and

releases Mailer, an infected soldier West kept for observation, who attacks the rest

of the platoon. Amidst the mayhem, Jim reunites with Selena and Hannah, and

they run to Frank's cab, where West is waiting and shoots Jim in the stomach.

Hannah reverses the cab towards Mailer, who grabs West through the rear window

and kills him. The trio finally leaves the mansion.

Another 28 days later, Jim is recovering at a remote cottage. Downstairs, he finds

Selena sewing large swaths of fabric when Hannah appears. The three rush outside

and unfurl a huge cloth banner, adding the final letter to the word "HELLO" laid out

on the meadow. A loneFinnish jet flies over the landscape, and the infected are

shown dying of starvation. The film ends with the jet flying over the three survivors

and the pilot calling in a rescue helicopter.

The Changeling

John Russell (George C. Scott), a composer living in New York, New York, moves

cross-country to Washington state following the deaths of his wife and daughter in

a traffic accident while on a winter vacation in upstate New York. In suburban

Seattle, John rents a large, old and eerie Victorian-era mansion and begins piecing

his life back together.

However, John soon discovers that he has unexpected and unwelcome company in

his new home: the unhappy ghost of a murdered young boy. The ghost makes its

presence felt by various phenomena such as shattering windows, abruptly openingand shutting doors, and manifesting itself dramatically during a seance. John

investigates the identity of the dead child and finds that the mystery is linked to a

powerful local family, the heir of which is a wealthy United States senator, Joseph

Carmichael.

John subsequently discovers that the real Joseph Carmichael was murdered by his

father, Richard. Joseph was a crippled, sickly child, and in the event of his death

before his 21st birthday, the family fortune (which he inherited from his late

maternal grandfather) would pass to charity. Desperate to keep control of the

fortune, Joseph's father drowned young Joseph in the bathtub, secretly replaced

him with a healthy orphan, and took him to Europe in the guise of seeking a

treatment or cure. He returned several years later with the impostor, now grownand "cured" of his illness, and continued as if nothing had happened.

Now, the ghost of the real Joseph haunts the house, making great efforts to

persuade John to investigate his murder, and give him some form of justice.

John's investigation leads him to a property that was once owned by the

Carmichael family, and after convincing Mrs. Gray (the owner of the property and

whose daughter has seen Joseph's ghost), John discovers the skeletal remains of

Joseph in a well, as well as his birth medal.

After refusing to hand the medal over to the police, John attempts to speak to

Senator Carmichael as he is about to depart by plane but is restrained by police. It

is then revealed that the Senator has an identical medal to the one John found. The

Senator then sends a policeman, Captain Dewitt to John's home in an attempt to

retrieve the medal, John refuses and when Dewitt leaves to obtain a search

warrant, his vehicle "mysteriously" crashes, killing him.

After hearing of Dewitt's death, the Senator finally agrees to listen to John's storyand meets with him. John reveals the entire story to the Senator, that his father

murdered his natural son and replaced him with a changeling, which is the

Senator. The Senator refuses to believe the story and angrily berates John for

accusing his father, whom he claims was a "loving man", of murder. John then

leaves the Senator Joseph's medal, files and the only copy of the seance recording

and apologizes. The Senator threatens John that there will be consequences if he

has told anyone else of his story.

Meanwhile, John's realtor and friend, Claire, goes to the house alone in an attempt

to find John and is chased by Joseph's wheelchair until she falls down the stairs.

Meanwhile the house begins to shake and rumble. John arrives, and escorts Claire

outside, and then goes back inside to try and stop the ghost of Joseph. A strongwind causes John to fall from the second story, but he survives. Joseph then lights
