Death Cast (2019) - full transcript

The experience of six fame hungry actors is documented as they unknowingly trade their lives to star in an experimental horror film.

Liv reading
for the role of Tiffany.

Uh-huh.

Did you hear something?

Stay here I'm gonna check it
out.

Umm...

I.... Ugh.

...I think I can make that work.

Actually, you know what. No.
Yes. Ugh, yeah.

No, I'm there. Totally.
That's perfect.

My name is Cole.
I'm represented by Crescent Talent-

-and I'll be reading for Elway.



Figured I was going to do some
movement here.

Male voice-
Yeah. Yeah.

We should split up.

We could cover more ground that
way.

Shit... That soon?

You'll have to talk to my agent.

Damn! Cash?

One day shoot?

I mean... we'll tell my agent
after.

Oh, holding this and saying the
slate?

Okay.

Bella and I'm here
reading for the role of Mallory.

What are you seeing exactly?
Are you seeing this up or like... this up?

I think he's gone.



It's okay. We're safe
now.

Can I do that again?

Female voice-
Sure.

Thanks.

Don't do this! Please... Please
don't do this!

What's up.

Brice reading
for the role of...

B.G.?

Beege!

female voice-No more scaring me.
I don't like it.

I promise I won't.

That does not mean I can't make
you scream.

female voice-
Is that so?

Oh yeah.

Ashley here
for the part of Stefanie.

...with an "F."

Okay.

Alright.

Shouldn't we wait?

I don't know. I mean... I want
this.

I just want our first time to be
special.

And... then we kiss.

Yeah.

Hey, I'm Jack and
I'm reading for the part of Gabe.

Look you're all getting worked up alright.
I'm sure there's an explanation.

Look, we'll figure it out and go
on enjoying our weekend.

Nobody is going to die here.

Puh ugh!

Oh fuck.

Oh god.

No, yeah. I was told his ugh-

Directing is unusual

I mean whatever man. This-

This career takes sacrifice. You
know.

male voice-
Hey hey guys!

male voice-
What's up man? Come on in.

male voice-
Hello. How are we? Ladies? Good.

Death Cast!

It's not very flattering.

-No, it's... it's hot.

-Where's my butt?

You can't be posting this.

-No! Don't delete it!

-Too late.

They take your cell too?

-Yeah...

Dude this better not be the shit
we have on set.

I can't eat anything if
they expect me to fit into this.

- Ooh

Hey what time's the table read?

Dance rehearsal?

-Didn't you read the script?

-Oh yeah.

That parts stupid.

Just trying on some funky
eighties' clothes.

B.G. is going to be looking fresh for
the first day of filming tomorrow.

Until he dies.

That good?

It's the first day of shooting.

Very excited to bring Stefanie
to the screen.

Yeah. My character does die
pretty quick in the story, but...

She's got a few scenes before that
so hopefully she'll be remembered.

Okay, so right now I'm being
wired up for sound.

They've cleverly hidden a microphone in our wardrobe,
so we won't be needing a sound guy with us on set.

Sorry bro.

So, it was like super boring.

You're late pal.

You need to be dressed.

-Now?

My first film like this. Umm...

I've worked on twelve smaller
projects.

I haven't seen those finished
but...

Yeah, no this is my big break.

Woman's voice-
- Well, you're in good hands now.

So how did you hear about this
gig?

- Craigslist. I told them I'm a
shooter too but...

I guess they just needed a
driver.

So, did you meet the director?

-No.

Not in person.

I think it's interesting what
he's doing though.

Usually a director

-Directs?

Yeah.

Whenever I direct, I like to really
get in the backstory of my actors.

Figure em out.

-You direct?

-I do everything.

-Well, you should take my card!

-Sure.

-Oh, ugh...

They took our stuff actually. I
don't have it.

-Well, later.

-If there was a call sheet...

-Yeah.

I just got a phone call with a
pickup time and instructions.

Umm... does everyone know the
rules?

-Rules?

B.G.- Yeah, the stuff they
went over at the table read?

So... mounted cameras and drones
are positioned around set.

Cameras are rolling when we
land.

You'll begin scene seven as soon
as you...

-you focus on driving.

Scene seven will begin as soon
as we walk in the door.

- Yeah. Everyone's made that very
clear.

Everyone know their lines?

-Yeah.

No interaction with the crew.
No breaking characters. Gag weapons.

Same shit we went over last
night.

As each character is wrapped,
we report to the van that's waiting...

- At the front of the property.
I'll show you, it's easy.

-Wrapped?

-Dies!

What if our body is still in the
scene?

-You fucking lay there.

I've never been out this far.

B.G.- Use it,
we should be getting into character!

We're almost there.

♪ Yeah I'm gettin' famous baby

♪ It aint no mystery baby

♪ I'm making history

♪ You're gonna know I made it

♪ Yeah I'm gonna be so damn
famous. ♪

You ready for this babe?

-Save it Romeo.

Hey, you're going to do great.

-Hey you too!

I'm sorry in advance for when I
call you a bitch.

It's okay, Mallory deserves it.

-thanks.

Melissa, if I make it through
this production

I'm going to kill you for
putting me here.

Gabe-Oh, no you don't.
It's, it's in the script.

-You read it!?

I'm impressed you got that far,
considering Gabe wraps on what?

- Page seventeen.
- Come on guys.

Let's just have fun. We're
making a movie!

So, you guys just walk straight up this
trail and you'll see the house at the end.

-I'll see you later?

Mallory-
Old Plymouth!

Gabe-
Wheels off already?

Should we start here?

- We're starting on scene seven.
Was I the only one listening?

-To yourself?

-He's the pro!

Mallory-
You guys ready?

Gabe-
Oh yeah.

B.G.-
Is he going to wait for us?

Stefanie-
He has to, cameras are rolling.

Mallory-I'm in character
are you Tiffany?

Tiffany-
- Yeah.

I give you, casa tio!

-Casa de mi tio.

- That's why I have a C in Spanish.

I just don't understand why we
had to park so far away.

- There's no way old Plymouth was going
to make it over that overgrown trail.

Stefanie-Old Plymouth
barely made it to the trail.

- I still say it could have made
it.

- Unlike you I don't have money
for a new transmission.

Speaking of what's the deal?
I thought your uncle was rich.

-He was...

-And crazy!

...or he didn't like having
neighbors.

Well, he had this place built on our
family's ranch for him and his wife...

- but she didn't want to live
all the way out here.

So, he just used it for ugh,
fishing and hunting trips.

Barbaric.

-He was a sportsman.

-Killing is a sport?

-To some.

How would your Uncle like it if
he-

-His uncle's dead.

She didn't know.

I'm sorry I...

How did he die?

You need to tell them.

-Not necessary.

-Now you have to.

He was murdered.

-Stefanie!

Where?

-Here!

-Enough.

How could you not tell us that?
- I didn't know it was here!

You can't be serious?

No. I'm not staying here.

- Come on guys, there's nothing
to worry about.

I'm sure it's not as bad as it
sounds.

-It is.

- Hey knock it off.
You know what she's been through.

Alright, enough.

Okay, maybe it's not something
I like talking about. But it...

It's not like there's anything
wrong with the house. -Debatable.

- Yeah, no. A person was just
murdered here. That's all.

-Mmm... two people.

-Fuck babe.

Okay, we're out of here.

Gabe!
- Guys!

She's joking.

-I have a dark sense of humor.

You heard her.
It was a joke.

- Real funny.
It doesn't make this place any nicer.

Look, guys!

We have the house to ourselves
for the whole weekend.

There's a lake down the trail
for swimming.

Private bedrooms...
- I like that.

There is a fridge full of beer

And enough grass to put down a
horse.

-You know it!

Gabe-Now would everyone please
just loosen up and enjoy?

Nothing to worry about.
I got your back.

-Thanks.

Is that poisonous?

Is that poisonous?

B.G., is that poisonous?

-Not anymore.

But this might be!

Hey! There it is!

Fuck.

Mallory- Is that real?
It smells real...

Gabe-
Shhh!

Stefanie-
Pass that shit.

Stefanie-
You're up.

Damn B.G. that's some...

Damn B.G. that's some...

- High class...
- High class grass, right?

Only the best.
Hey now we just need some tunes.

I don't have to smoke this if...

-It's okay.

Have you ever?

-No.

You don't have to.

-Uh, Maybe later though.

- If you want yeah, that'd be
chill!

Yeah... chill.

No way!

Tiffany do you still remember?!

Come on!

God I can't believe I'm doing this!
- Come on!

Come on babe!

Five... Six... Seven... Eight!

Shouldn't we wait?

-For what?

-I don't know... I mean.

I want this. I just want our
first time to be special.

-It is.

They're off to an early start.

B.G.-
Beers are kind of warm.

♪ Cool killer

♪ It's what you do to me

♪ Cool killer

♪ And then you claim-

Let's hit that bong!

I fuckin' love this girl!

Where's big blue?

Still in Gabe's trunk.

-Fuck bro!

Let's roll another joint?

-No, big blue!

Come on.
I'll walk with you.

Throw your swimsuits on,
we'll hit the bong and then go for a swim.

-Sounds good.

Be right back!

So, how's my boy doin?

- Elway?
- Yeah.

-She likes him. She's just...

-Prude?

- She just needs time to get to
know him.

-That's why I'm thinking

Maybe it takes us a little while
longer to find that bong?

- We just got here!
- So?

What you think?

-You're bad.

Looks like a deer. Maybe?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Let's just finish this.

What killed it?

-Something big.

-Should we be out here?

I'm being serious.
You're such a jerk.

What are we supposed to do?
Just wait here?

Fuckin' stupid.

We're between scenes Liv.

Jesus you're committed.

Babe. Babe, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't of done that.

You have nothing to worry about.

Do you believe them?
- About Gabe's uncle?

They're just joking.

- That's not something you joke
about.

They were just fucking with
Tiffany.

I promise you're safe.

-Okay. No more scaring me.

I don't like it.

- Doesn't mean I can't make you
scream.

-Is that so?

The fuck?

B.G. wait!

Who would do this?

- I don't know. How's this even
possible?

What are you doing?
- Seeing what they took.

Let's just go back.
- And what?

- I don't know. Fuck, Beege I'm
scared.

- It's just somebody fucking with
us.

- Who!? -I don't know but
nobody's coming out here

to steal a set of fucking tires.

Mallory where you goin? -Back to the house.
I'm not staying here!

Come on.

The bong!

Fuck.

Damn.

You look nice. I mean... good.

That's a... good swimsuit

For you.

- Thanks.

What's wrong?

I don't... think Stefanie wants
me here.

Why would you think that?

-All that about Gabe's uncle.

I don't know I just...

She knows I don't like stories
like that.

-It's just how she is.

-I guess.

Look, umm...

I don't want you to think that I
asked you here to...

-It's okay.

I want to be here.

What the!?

The car. Somebody's fucking with
us!

What's going on out there?

- Nothing.
- That's not nothing! Go see!

Probably another damn scorpion.

What the fuck is going on here?

- Your car. Somebody took off
your wheels.

- You're full of shit.
- I saw it too!

-It's sitting on cinder blocks.

- Nobody's stealing tires out
here.

You lied to us.

This isn't a fucking joke!

Tell us what happened to your uncle!
- Nothing!

God damn. Look, it's got to be
something.

Probably Stefanie's shit-head brother
followed us here to play a prank.

-That's not a fucking prank.

So tell us who's out there.

-Nobody.

You guys are getting all worked
up.

I'm sure there's an explanation.

We'll figure it out and go on
enjoying our weekend alright?

Nobody's going to die here.

Nobody's going to die here!

What the fuck...

- Do something!
Hey it's good. It's good.

Elway-Gabe you're good...

Elway- Come on Brice!

- I don't know what the fuck we're supposed to do!

Shit.

Fuck it, I'm pulling it out.

Mallory-

Elway-
Bella shut the fuck up!

B.G.-
Tiffany lock the fucking window!

Anyone know something I don't?

Hmm?

B.G.-
What do you mean?

- One of you has to know something
about what's going on here.

He must have.

-He's dead.

We saw him die.

You've been quiet.

-I'm scared.

B.G.-
Yo what are you doing?

Somebody's watching us!
- They could have helped us!

They're watching us die.
- Who?

-Whoever's behind these cameras.

We're here to die. It's in the
script.

Stefanie died first in the
script.

Yeah, well she might have here
too.

We don't know.

please help
us.

Look Ashley and Jack are dead,
and this is real.

Please we are not safe, get us
out of here.

- You're giving them what they
want.

So what does that mean? I'm
next?

B.G. dies in a tool shed.

The rules are different now.

There is no script.

So, by signing this you
agree to carry out any and all acts

outlined in the document you
just reviewed

and any orders received during
the performance.

What if one of these kids...

Again. I have no knowledge
of what was in that sealed document.

As such, I am not able to answer any
questions you have regarding its content.

When will
my family get the money?

As stated the money will become
available in the specific account as soon

as you met the terms
outlined here.

Will they know what I did?

Only if you tell them.
All I have is an account number.

They set this up.

-Who?

Tiffany-
everyone making this movie.

-Why would they do that?

- For some fucking pervert cult,
what does it matter?

Watch out.

Where is he going?

Mallory-
Wait! Don't go out there!

B.G.-
Hey! Hey!

Hey, I see you mother fucker.

Mallory-
What's he doing?

Tiffany-He's just running
around the house yelling.

Help him!

-No don't go.

What if he finds someone?

-Then he'll die too.

- And we're just gonna stand
here?

We can't let them know where we
are.

Fuck! Fuck.

Fuck you! Fuck you!
- Don't do this. Don't do this.

We need help. We need help.

God damnit.

Shit.
Oh my God.

Tiffany-
What do you want?

Elway-
Fuck this.

Run! Run!

Help me! Help!

Run!

Killer-
Ugh!

Run!

Are you okay?

- You asshole. You left us back
there!

- No!
- God!

Tiffany-
Shit.

God it's not gonna stop!

Oh my God. Brice.

Elway-
What happened?!

Tiffany-
Oh my God.

Where is he?

B.G.-
I don't know. I left...

I left him with a knife in his leg.
- Shit.

We gotta get out of here.
- Mallory stay with us.

Tiffany-
Bella come on!

You're losing too much blood. We
need to stop that bleeding.

B.G.-
No.

Don't. It's stuck to the shirt.

It'll bleed out.

I'm sorry!

Bella come on.

Elway-
Let's go.

Tiffany-
Now!

B.G.-
We're not gonna make it.

Elway-
- Yes you will.

B.G.-
It's miles from the highway.

Tiffany-Yeah,
we're almost where the van left us.

B.G.-
There's no van waiting on us.

We're here to die.

I'm so fucking stupid.

Elway-
You fucked that guy up.

-I'm gonna die.

-Let's just get to the van.

Tiffany-
Wait!

Elway-
Oh.

Oh, son of a bitch!

We have to keep moving.
- What, what about his phone...

didn't he have a phone?

Mother fuck!

Ugh!

No. No! I'll do it. I'll do it!
- Alright well do it then!

Well, what about the keys,
what about the keys? -I swear.

Do you see anything?

-Seriously?

Yeah, they're all over. God
damn!

Where are these keys!?

No! No!

Shut her the fuck up he's going
to hear us.

Try the other pocket!
- I am!

Stop please.

Please handle that!

- She's scared!
- We all are!

I can't see them. I can't find them.
- Shit. Shit. Shit.

He's got to have them somewhere.

God damnit!

Oh... No. Oh...

Shit.

God. It's lodged in his throat!

-I'll try.

I almost got it...

Mallory-
We gotta go!

We gotta go!

Bella!

I got it! I got it!

Tiffany-
Start the car!

Bella let's go!

No!

B.G.-
Just go.

Leave me!
- Sorry!

Let me in!

Fuck!

Open it!

Lock the doors!

I can't it's not-

Shit!

Shit he's coming around!

Elway-
Fuck! Come on...

None of these work!
- Open the door!

Fuck!
- Ow!

Shit.

We have to ditch!

We need to ditch!

Slow down!

-Go! Jump!

Shit.

This way!

Elway-
You've got to keep up!

Tiffany-
I'm trying.

Tiffany-
Slow down!

Elway-We've got to
keep go-

Tiffany-
- Where!?

Elway-Come on just keep running.
God damnit.

Tiffany-
I can't.

Stay with me!

Don't touch me.

Elway-
Okay. You gotta calm down Liv!

Tiffany-
Calm down!?

I just watched four people die!

I've never seen anyone die and four people
were just murdered right in front of me.

And now they're trying to kill
me?!

We're here to get fucking
killed!

Elway-
We didn't. We didn't.

Tiffany-
I can't do this.

I don't know why I'm here.

Elway-Hey, listen to me.
I'm sorry. Okay?

I'm in the same situation. We're
in the same situation.

I know this shit's fucking crazy
okay? I know.

This is. Would you... you
just...

You just have to trust me.
We are going to get out of here I promise.

Are you hurt?

Okay. I don't see any more
cameras.

We're off the radar, let's just
keep going this direction.

We should hit that road we drove
in to.

And then it'll lead us out.

Tiffany-
That's like three miles.

Elway-
It wasn't that far.

Tiffany-
Then what?

-I don't know. Come on.

Tiffany-
Shit. They found us.

-Fuckers.

Come here.
- What are you doing?

Elway-
I'm gonna get you out of here.

Tiffany-
What are you doing?

Elway-
Shh! Follow my lead.

Fuck you!

Tiffany-
Let's go.

Walkie voice-
Number two.

Walkie voice-
Number two do you copy?

You're giving them exactly what
they want.

-And what's that?

-A show.

You're playing right into everything.
They want us to fight.

Would you just listen to me for
a second?

We need to get these fucking
mics off.

- You know what, I've got a
better idea.

-Oh, and what's that?

-Stop talking.

Elway-
This is so fucked up.

I just about lost my agent for
taking this fucking garbage audition.

All for this.

So I can die out here in the
sticks.

The fuck do you care?

Tiffany-
Not my ending.

Elway-
- Is that it!?

You survive in the end, right?!

Hoping for the sequel!

Tiffany-Ha! Yeah.
I don't think that's how this works.

What are you doing?

Elway-Fuck! Trying to get this
fucking mic off so they can't hear us.

God.

Fuck it.

Elway-
I think it's this way.

What are you doing?!

-Going this way.

Fuck.

Elway-
Come on! You wanna run!

Sounded like a dirt bike.

- Do you think it's the road?
- I don't think so...

Wait, where are you goin?
- Get the fuck off of me!

I'm trying to help you!

Yeah. I don't need your help.

You, you blew us off back at the
house.

I don't trust you.

- Would you just listen to me!
For a second.

I'll apologize when we're out of this.
But we have a better chance together.

Please trust me.

He could be down there waiting
for us.

Maybe that's what we heard.

-Okay so what do you want to do?

-The keys are still in the van.

-I am not going back there.

-You survive in the script.

-Yet this isn't the script!

- Maybe it is! You know? Maybe
that's what they want!

-Well fuck what they want!

What so then you die?

- Jesus. Would you just work with
me?

Okay what do you want to do?

We're safer if we're in the van
and he's not.

He could be down there. Right
now. Waiting on us.

Fine.

Ough!

Come on!

Agh!

Fuck!

Come on. Come on. Come on!

Agh!

Shit. Come on.

Ow!
- Come on Liv, you can...

Just come on! Please!

Come on!

Shit! I'm sorry!

No!

No!

What do you want?

What do you want?

Aren't you going to kill me?

Why are you doing this?

Answer me!

God!

There was one day I was

On my way to an audition.
Already runing late and I blew out a tire.

And I knew that wasn't good.
I didn't have the money to

Take care of that and umm...

It was a hard moment.
It was a hard day. Umm...

I don't know.
That day felt like...

The end in a way.
It was like "Alright. You tried."

"And you're done."

"Alright. Come home.
Be smart. Get a degree."

Umm and I was like...

Ugh. Like, that day I actually questioned
whether I was going to give this up for good.

And umm...

I didn't really know where else to go. I
couldn't drive back to my apartment. Umm...

So, I actually...

Walked down the street to see a show that
the community theater had going on. Umm...

The one that I like performed
at growing up. And umm...

I don't know, like sitting in
the back seat.

Like the back row.
Kinda taking it all in.

It like wasn't even a good show
but just taking it all and seeing

like how far I had come.

And...

I don't know I guess that night I really
realized how much left there actually is in me.

Ugh

Oh my God.

Brice. Hey.

Brice-Brice-Brice-Brice.
Hey. Oh my God.

Okay.
Okay-Okay-Okay.

I think I got to move you.
Help me up.

Come on.
Come on.

You're kidding me!

Ugh!

Shit.

Ugh!

Is this what you want?

That's it

It's over. I escaped.

Ugh!

Tiffany-
Shit.

One of us dies?

Why are you doing this?!

God, who are you?

I mean are you an actor too?
Why are you doing this?

We don't have to do this.

Okay?

Tiffany-
Look at me.

We can just leave.

Right now.

Yes, we can.
We can just leave!

Look I see you okay?

You don't have to do this.

You don't have to do this.

No!

Fuck you. I'm not gonna do it.

I'm not gonna do it.

Come on you stupid bitch!

What the
fuck am I supposed to do?

Fuck!

Take the fucking knife.

Take it!

Take it! Take it! Take it!
- No! No! No!

Fuck!

Fuck this!

Argh!

Do I deserve this role?

Umm...

Yeah.

I do.

Like... I don't know.
I believe in me. I guess.

Like I'm supposed to be an
actor.

I'm supposed to be a storyteller. The
talent is there it's just a matter of time.

And that's why I'm here.

Umph.

Argh!

Ugh!

Manual.

Help!

Woman-
You okay?

- Can you get me a ride out of
here?

-Honey what happened?

- I just need to get to a
hospital now.

- I don't know.
- Please.

Well, can you tell me what
happened?

- I will in the car.
Can we just leave please?

Thank you.

Tiffany-
Do you have a phone I could use?

Woman-My battery died but
we're not far from town...

What's that?

-A camera.

Woman-
Is it yours?

-No.

Woman-
Well...

You're in good hands now.
