Nightbeast (1982) - full transcript

Que diabos foi sso?

Puta merda.

Hey, you guys, wake up.

Do you see this?

Hey, Craig.

Come on!

We gotta check this out,
some kinda plane crash.

Will you guys wake up?

All right.

- Come on!
- All right.

You little shit.



Sheriff, sheriff
cinder, did you see it?

There was a big
fireball out in the sky!

What?

Out by marsh cliff.

Come on, take a look.

Look at it, right there.

Jesus, must have been lightning.

Hell, I ain't never seen
lightning like that before.

You saw it too, huh, sheriff?

What the hell was it, Pete?

I don't know.

Some kind of big bright
thing came out of the sky.

We're gonna have
to get out there.

You better call Lisa, sheriff.



Oh, let her sleep.

She's used to desk work.

She is a deputy
and she is qualified.

All right, I'll call her.

You go try to round
up a few more men.

Right.

I can probably round up
a couple guys, sheriff.

Good.

Hello?

Jack, what's going on?

All right, give
me a few minutes.

I'll be right there.

I guess we better get out there

before old Jerry gets lost.

I bet he was drinking a beer.

Me too.

Jerry?

Jerry?

Jerry?

Ah!

- Jerry?
- Jesus Christ!

What the hell is that?

I don't know.

Why are we stopping, uncle Dave?

You kids stay put, I'm
just gonna take a minute.

He has to take a leak.

Damn, what are you trying to do?

Give me a heart attack?

That's not very funny.

- Uncle Dave!
- Uncle Dave!

There's somebody up there!

I've had enough
of you kids tonight.

Now get back in the car.

What about uncle Dave?

I don't know.

Uncle Dave!

Well, go help him!

Come here.

Kim, look.

A house, come on.

Do you hear that?

What?

Somebody's running
towards the house.

Letit run, it's
probably an animal.

That's no animal,
somebody's running.

All right, I'll check.

Glenn, be careful.

Don't worry.

What do you think
it is, sheriff?

I don't know.

Only one way to find out.

Yeah, let's go.

Pete!

- Get down!
- Jesus Christ!

- Come on!
- Come on!

Berkeley, stop get down!

Jack, get the fuck outta here!

Lisa, let's go!

Come on, let's go!

Let's go!

- Here.
- Will, this is Jamie.

I work with the
sheriff's office.

Listen, we've just come
back from the woods.

It'll be late soon.

It might help us see
that thing better.

I don't know what good it'll do.

We'll get it, we will get it.

Okay, we've got bill
Perkins and his son.

They'll be here in 10 minutes.

- Good.
- Perkins?

He's an Ace, a crack shot.

If we can get him close enough.

Look, I don't know
what kind of weapon

that thing is using,
but I want it.

Otherwise we don't
have a chance in hell.

That's why I want Perkins.

Sheriff's office.

Who?

What, wait a minute, slow down.

I can't understand you.

Uh huh.

All right, George, stay put.

We're on our way.

We're on our way right now.

George Michaels, says he
was driving on route seven

near the old hargrove farm.

Something weird ran
in front of his car

and he almost hit it.

Wait here for Perkins,
meet us out there.

All right, Jack, be careful.

Lisa, don't say a word.

Just turn around
slowly and follow me.

Now!

Get down, get down!

What in the name of god
is that thing, sheriff?

I don't even wanna guess.

All I want you to do
is get that weapon

out of the thing's hand.

Think you can do it, bill?

You bet your ass I can do it.

Why don't you just blow
the things head off, dad?

Hey, get the weapon first
then blow the thing's head off.

I gotta get closer to that thing

so I could get a good shot.

Jimmy, you go on the other
side and keep me covered.

We'll try to draw its
attention over here.

You be careful, bill.

Don't you worry.

Are you ready, son?

Yeah.

All right, now!

Jimmy!

It's incredible, Jack.

Just what I need right now.

Look, Bert, we're gonna
deal with this thing

how we can for now, but I
do want you to get in touch

with state officials and
get us some help in here.

You don't understand, Jack.

I've got this party
for governor embry

here this afternoon, remember?

Election time, ass-kissing time.

Bert, I've got some thing
running around killing people.

We lost Pete for Christ's
sake and five other men

plus bill Perkins's son!

I don't give a shit
about your party!

I'm sorry about Pete,
Jack, I'm truly sorry,

but I can't cancel this
party with the governor.

I mean, I can't even
get in touch with him.

He and his aide are driving
down from Carol county now.

You cancel it.

I'll get the governor
out when he arrives.

I've got people invited.

I just can't call off this...
Cancel it, Bert!

I want this town
evacuated today.

Forget it, Jack,
this is a big deal.

I can't stop it now anyway.

The governor is on his way!

The people will be
arriving any minute!

I don't believe you.

You don't know what's
loose out there.

Pete is dead for Christ's sake.

I don't want anybody else dead.

I want this town cleared out.

Jack, we'll do our little
number with the governor

and then I promise
we'll get out.

Will you just call the state
and get some help in here?

Yes, yes, yes, I promise, Jack.

I'll call them right away.

Let's just not have a
panic situation, huh?

You do yourself a favor.

You cancel this party and
get yourself and Mary Jane

the hell outta town.

Oh, it all sounds so exciting!

I wouldn't miss
it for the world!

I can't handle this.

I'll see you later, Bert.

I think I need
another drink, honey.

Okay, bertie.

And don't call me bertie.

What did the mayor say?

He said we can't
evacuate the town.

So what do we do?

We start evacuating the
town, that's what we do.

Wicker's not gonna like it.

Tough shit!

Look, I'm gonna drop
you off at the office.

Get Jamie and a
couple of good men

and start clearing the town out.

What are you doing?

I've got to meet
Steven at notch cliff

and pick up Mel Berkeley's body.

You want me to take
some of these ashes

and try to analyze
them, sheriff?

No, we don't have
time for that now.

Let's just find Berkeley's
body and get out of here.

Where is it?

Should be up here
about 100 feet.

Something's wrong.

I know this is where he fell.

There's definitely
blood here, sheriff.

But where's the body?

There's more blood over there.

Maybe Berkeley wasn't dead.

He may have dragged
himself out of here.

Or been dragged away.

Looks like I brought you
out here for nothing, Steve.

That's okay, Jack.

It's my job.

Hey, cinder, what
brings you way out here

away from your
cozy little office?

Keep moving, drago,
before I run you in

for disturbing the peace.

Hey, I'm scared to death.

A big tough sheriff may just
try to take me off my bike.

Huh, what about it, cinder?

You gonna take me off my bike?

Stay out of my way, drago.

I'm in no mood for your crap.

You know what I say, sheriff?

Go to hell.

No, no, no, wait a minute.

That's too good for you.

Clear out.

Oh, sure thing,
Mr. sheriff, sir.

Oh, oh, say hi to that cute
little girl deputy of yours.

Yeah, I bet she's really
something in the sack, huh?

That scum, you
outta lock him up.

I don't wanna stink up my cell.

Sheriff cinder, come in, please.

Sheriff cinder, come in, please.

This is cinder,
what's up, Jamie?

Sheriff, we
just found Ben Cooper.

His body's over at
the dodd's house.

Jack, it's half eaten.

All right, I'm on my way.

Step up the evacuation, huh?

Don't worry, it's going well.

Route 19 is jammed with cars.

I'm so glad you're getting
the people out of town, Jack.

This is a nightmare.

It sure is.

I hope you and Steven
are up for nightmares.

You know I wouldn't demand it,

but it might help if you
two stuck around a while.

Think nothing of it.

We wouldn't have
it any other way.

Well, thanks, Ruth.

Oh, Jack, while we
wait, I almost forgot.

The mayor called this morning.

He was wondering if
Steve and I are coming

to the party he's
giving for the governor.

- Hey.
- Idiot!

I told him this morning
to call that off.

Come on, we better
get out there.

Is it all right if we stop
by Suzie's house on the way?

I haven't had the
time to warn her.

Drago's girl?

Yeah, I've been
seeing her lately.

All right, come on.

We've gotta make it fast.

See ya later.

- Bye, Steve.
- Good luck.

Leave me alone, drago!

I told you we're finished!

Babe, don't give me that crap.

Come on, honey.

I haven't seen you
for a few days.

Get off!

Oh, you're getting rough, huh?

You like that, huh?

Don't you ever do that again.

You hear me, don't you ever!

You little slut, you're
too good for me now, huh?

Well, I know you've been
seeing Jamie lambert,

and let me tell you
something, babe.

You ain't good enough for him.

He's got class you know
and you ain't nothing,

but a filthy little bitch!

On!

Damn it, drago was
just here hassling here.

Is she okay?

Yeah, she said she could
throw her stuff together

and be out of here
in a few minutes.

Good, let's go.

Right.

Bitch!

Now!

Come on, you wanna fight, huh?

You wanna fight, come on.

Get up!

Bert, it's really
great to be here

in your quaint little town.

It's great to have
you here, governor,

and let me assure you that
the people of Perry hill

are behind you 100%.

Good.

You know, I didn't
see too many people

when we came through town.

It seemed a little deserted.

Well, it's Saturday morning.

People are sleeping late.

But let me assure you.

Some of the nicest
folks are right here.

Nice indeed.

Governor embry,
this is my secretary,

Mary Jane Carter.

This is an honor, Mr. governor.

Likewise, Ms. Carter.

Oh, this is my
aide, Mark Phillips.

Mayor wicker.

Ms. Carter.

Governor, would
you care for a drink?

Mary Jane makes
a mean Manhattan.

The governor prefers vodka
and water, mild, please.

Mary Jane, would you get the
governor a vodka and water?

Mild.

Sure, I'll be right back.

What?

Here you go, governor.

Thank you, Mary Jane.

Oh, my pleasure.

I'm sorry, Mr. Phillips.

Would you care for a drink?

No, thank you, I
never drink on the job.

Oh, Bert and I always
drink on the job.

Don't we, bertie?

Yes.

Governor, what do you think
of the campaign this year?

It's pretty heavy, isn't it?

Yes, we're
going to steal a lot of money

in Carol county.

I'll bet.

Well, you know, they have
plenty there to steal.

But then it would
get to national...

Yeah, would you excuse
me for a moment, governor?

Is is true he's gonna
be the next governor?

What the hell are
you doing, Bert?

I told you to call
this thing off!

Stop, the governor's
right over there.

I don't give a damn who's here.

I want you to get
these people out.

Listen to me,
they're just little...

Didn't I make myself
clear this morning?

Why don't you go
write yourself some damn

parking tickets or something?

You're gonna screw this
whole thing up for me!

I'm not gonna budge!

I want these people
outta here now!

Jack, get the hell outta here!

You're making the scene
with the governor!

I'm gonna start
clearing these people out.

Sheriff cinder, have
you met the governor yet?

Not now, Mary.

Oh, governor, I'd
like you to meet

our esteemed
sheriff, Jack cinder.

Pleased to know you.

How are you?

Is there anything wrong, Bert?

Oh, no, no, the sheriff
just stopped by to say hello.

He's a big supporter of
you as a matter of fact.

He's gonna work for you
in the next campaign.

Aren't you, Jack?

Now, Jack, you just mind
telling the governor

what a great...

Hey, look...

Ladies and gentlemen, may
I please have your attention.

I'm sorry to interrupt
this lovely party,

but I'm afraid we're going to
have to ask everyone to leave.

We've just discovered
that poison gas

is leaking from the old
mines and for your own safety

we're evacuating the town.

No, no, no, no, no.

Oh my god!

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

So that's why the
streets were deserted.

You lied to me,
you son of a bitch!

You knew about this all along.

Believe me, you're
going to regret this.

Come along, governor.

We must get you to safety.

Thanks.

I've gotta give it to you.

It really worked.

So does this mean
I'm on the payroll?

Way to go, Jamie.

Well, now let's get back
to the real evacuation.

Bert, I want you and Mary
Jane out of here too!

I'm ruined.

I'm ruined.
There, there, bertie.

It'll be all right.

Don't call me bertie!

What do you think?

This is very curious.

We better get a tissue sample.

Right.

Hey, doc.

Wilton, what are you doing here?

Krebs busted his leg.

Oh, take him in
the other room, okay?

Which one?

The one to your right.

Okay.

Steven, could you get the
rest of the tissue sample?

Sure.

I want my whisky!

I'll get it for you, krebs.

Don't argue with krebs, doc.

Sheriff's
office, Jamie speaking.

Jamie, where's Jack?

Jack's not here, Ruth.

Oh god no.

Jamie, wilton and
his friends came

and this guy was
hurt and they left

and the beast murdered them.

He's outside. - Hold on!

Oh god, I'm so scared.

Ruth, listen, lock the doors.

Go hide somewhere.

Jamie, come fast.

Steven and I are here alone.

We'll get out
there soon as we can.

Jack, this is Jamie.

Come in, please, it's urgent.

What is it, Jamie?

I just got a call from Ruth.

She says the creature attacked
some men over at her house.

Damn, we're out
here in jarrettsville.

Listen, I can use the dirt bike

and get over there in
about five minutes.

Good, and Jamie, be careful.

Right.

Oh no, Steven, krebs
is still upstairs.

Well, I just game
him a sedative.

He's out cold in
the examining room.

We better try to get him.

Oh my god, oh my
god, we're gonna die.

It's gone.

I'm gonna go take a look.

Steven, no.

It might still be there.

Shh, don't worry,
I'll be careful.

It's still up there.

I don't think it saw me.

Steven, what are we gonna do?

Ruth, I've got an idea.

You stay right here.

Steven, what are
you going to do?

Just stay here and be quiet.

It worked.

Thank god, it worked!

Jamie!

Jamie, thank god you're here.

The thing dragged wilton away.

I think he was dead.

His arm was cut off.

We tried to clean up out here,

but we've been nervous wrecks.

We better get
these other bodies inside.

That's right.

They may lure the
thing back here.

Doc!

God!

We were checking
all the houses, doc,

and we found her like this.

I'm sorry, Jamie, there was
nothing that could be done.

You're sure it
wasn't the creature.

No, she was strangled.

Jamie, I'm sorry.

I just can't imagine who
could do something like this.

I can.

Jack, there's
something on the road!

It's a body.

Oh god.

Come on, come on,
you can make it.

Come on.

Jack, oh my god!

Keep going, Lisa, keep going!

Lisa.

Ow, my leg.

I hurt it bad.

Can you get me to the
doc's house, quick?

Let's go to my
house, it's closer.

I don't care where we
go, just get me somewhere.

Let's go.

There we go, let's
get you comfortable.

Thanks, Lisa.

Hey, wait a minute,
what are you doing?

I've got to see the injury
if I'm gonna patch it up.

Yeah, I know, but...

Are you embarrassed, Jack?

No, of course not.

Good, let's get these pants off.

You'll be fixed up in no time.

That's a nasty
gash you have here.

I know.

Let me get some
alcohol and cotton.

Be right back.

Thanks, Lisa.

My pleasure.

Now you lie back and
rest for a while.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna get a shower
and get a clean uniform.

This one's a mess.

I'll just...

Stay right here.

Get comfy, I'll be right back.

All right.

Hi, how's your leg?

Oh, hi.

Better.

Good.

Guess I better get
dressed now, huh?

No.

You know you're a very
attractive girl, Lisa.

I guess I never
really noticed before.

You never gave
it a chance before.

I'm willing to
give it a chance now.

Can I get this shirt off?

If I can take this towel off.

Bertie, I want another drink!

What are you doing up here?

I want another drink, bertie.

You don't need another drink.

You're drunk already.

Maybe I oughta call the
governor or something.

Apologize.

Bertie.

Ow!

Are you gonna get
me another drink?

All right!

Anything you want.

You want another drink,
I'll get you another drink.

I'll get you two drinks.

I'll get you four drinks.

Anything you want, just
don't call me bertie!

You know, bertie,
I was thinking.

Maybe you oughta write the
governor a letter of apology.

Or maybe you oughta hire a
writer to write it for you.

That's what politicians
do, don't they?

I wonder who that could be.

Maybe it's the governor come
back to say he's not mad.

Oh, it's Steven.

Hey, bertie, Steven's here.

Mary Jane, why
are you still here?

Hello, Steven,
my good old friend.

Come in on, have a
little drink with us!

You're drunk, Mary Jane.

Where's Bert?

Bertie's out here on the sofa.

Bertie's right here, see?

Hey, bertie,

Steven came to have a
little drink with us.

Oh my god, he's passed out.

Damn it, Mary Jane!

Why aren't you two out of town?

Don't you realize
you're in danger here?

Everybody else is gone.

But you're still here, Steven.

And so is bertie, and so am I.

We can have a little party,
just the three of us.

Mary Jane, I just want you
to get your things together

and let me take you to
the sheriff's office.

You'll be safe there.

Steven, I want you to
sit right here next to me.

We'll have a lotta fun.

Right, bertie?

Sheriff's office, Perry hill.

Jack, it's Steven.

I'm over at the mayor's house.

He and Mary Jane are still here.

Still there?

Yeah, and they're both
drunk out of their gourds.

Bert's wiped out and Mary
Jane's not far behind,

and I can't reason
with her, Jack.

Okay, listen.

Get back to your place and
help Ruth pack the equipment.

Lisa and I will come out
there and take care of them.

All right, but I
wouldn't wait too long.

They're really out of it.

We're leaving right now.

Okay, good.

Mary Jane.

Oh, there you are, Steven.

I wondered where you went.

I'm so glad you're back.

Mary Jane, listen to me.

Try to get your things
together and wake Bert up.

Jack and Lisa are coming
out here to get you.

Do you understand me?

Are they gonna
join the party too?

I like Jack.

He's a nice sheriff.

Did you hear that, bertie?

They're gonna come and
join the party too.

I give up.

Mary Jane, just
stay right there.

Jack will be here soon.

I've gotta go now.

I think we're gonna
have a great party.

Now, I wonder where
Steven went off too now.

What was that?

It must be Steven.

Where is he?

Steven, is that you?

Steven, are you down there?

Steven?

Steven?

You hoo, Steven?

I know you are here.

Are you hiding from me?

I know you're hiding
from me, Steven.

I know where Stevie is.

Mary.

Mary Jane!

What's wrong?

Mary Jane?

What, what, Mary Jane?

Mary Jane!

Mary Jane!

Mary Jane, you down there?

What's the matter?

Mary Jane?

Mary Jane.

Where the hell, why the
hell are you screaming?

Bert.

Bert.

Mary Jane.

Maybe they're gone.

No, the car is in the driveway.

And they're too
drunk to go anywhere.

Tell you what,
you check upstairs

and I'll check the basement.
All right.

Bert.

Bert.

Oh god.

Jack, they're not upstairs.

Jack, what is it?

No, no, don't look.

Why?

Let's get outta here.

Yes, we have an
emergency situation here.

Right.

I would appreciate
some state help.

I can be reached
here at the office.

Right.

Thank you.

Wicker never even
called the state.

They don't even know we
have a bad situation here!

Damn!

Jack, I'm willing to
stick around and help out.

Just say the word.

I appreciate it,
but there's no sense

in any one else
sticking their neck out.

I'll wait here for
the state people.

Steven's packing the last
of the equipment now, Jack.

We should be ready
in about 15 minutes.

Good, Jamie and
Lisa will go with you.

Make sure you get out safely.

Me?

Yes, you.

I want you out too.

Hey, wait a minute, Jack?

No arguments!

Listen, I've been thinking.

I hate this idea of us
running out of town when...

We're beaten, Jamie.

Guns have no effect
on that thing.

Guns don't, I know that,
but if we could hit that thing

with 20,000 or 30,000
volts of electricity

we might be able to stop it!

That's right.

It scared it away at our house.

Where would we get
that kind of voltage?

We can get a coil down at
the power station in Jessup.

It could work.

I'm willing to try it.

Let's go get that coil.

But what about Steven?

We can't leave him alone.

We'll set it up
at your place, Ruth.

We're the only
people left in town.

And since that thing
feeds on human flesh...

Of course.

And it's been at my house
before because of the bodies.

It's the only logical place
left for the creature to go.

Let's get that coil and
get the hell over there.

Hey, Lisa, why don't you stay
here and keep a watch out?

Okay.

It's locked.

Check around the other side!

Damn, this one's locked to.

You think there
might be another way?

There might be a
window around back.

I'll check.

All right, I'll
work on this lock.

Damn!

Stand still!

You got a lotta fight in
you, don't you, deputy?

Ah!

Stop struggling!

Stop struggling!

Turn over like a
good boy, cinder,

and look at what I've
got for you, asshole.

Oh my god!

Lisa, Lisa, are you all right?

God, the poor girl.

You sure you're okay?

Did he do anything to you?

No, no, he didn't get a chance.

He heard you coming, I guess.

Jack, I've got
to get back to that coil.

Okay, I'll be with
you in a minute.

Are you okay, Jamie?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Jack, we have to
get her out of these clothes.

Do you have a
jacket or something?

I have some street
clothes in the trunk.

I'll get them for you.

You really paying
your dues today, huh?

You sure you're okay?

Really, I'm fine, just
a little roughed up.

Is drago dead?

Yeah, yeah, he is.

Jack, I didn't
realize, you're bleeding.

Let me look at it.

You can look at it later, Ruth.

I've gotta go help, Jamie.

Let's get outta those clothes.

Thank you.

I'm sure as hell
glad you're here.

Krebs is driving me nuts.

Can you give us a
hand here, Steven?

Steven, are you all right?

Yeah, what's up?

Give us a hand.

This baby might just knock
off our strange visitor.

What is this thing?

It's an electrical coil.

That son of a bitch is heavy.

What does the coil do?

It's like a huge battery.

It stores an electrical charge.

Yeah, and that sucker
goes to 30,000 volts.

Once you charge it up,
you run lines from it.

Anything touches the wires, zap.

Ah, you're going to
electrocute the creature.

We'll hit him.

Well, it's worth a shot.

Ruth, where's the power box?

Down in the basement,
I'll show you.

Jack, when I get this line in

can you give me a hand
running the wires?

Sure, can you help keep watch?

We want plenty advanced notice
when that thing shows up.

Sure, I'll help.

Good, I'll go get krebs too.

You ever use a gun, Steven?

Shotgun.

Good, I've got one for you.

Terrific.

Get a gun from Lisa.

I want you to go about
100 feet outside the yard,

on your left.

How's it going?

Almost tucked in.

You can give that wire
from the car a while.

Right.

Look, keep an eye on krebs.

I will.

And listen, if that
thing does show up

promise me you'll play it safe.

Get the hell back in the yard.

I'll be back in a hurry.

Are you ready to start
stringing those wires?

It's gonna take us a while.

Let's move.

I think we'll string it
between the pole and that tree.

Okay.

How are they doing
with those wires?

Don't worry.

This isn't my idea of fun.

Remember, if you see anything,
fire the gun as a signal.

You can count on it.

Jack, do you mind if
I go help keep watch?

I guess not.

But stay inside the fence, huh?

Don't worry, I will.

Steven, Steven!

Oh my god, Steven!

Get down!

Steven, Steven, no, Steven!

Steven!

Steven!

Oh, Steven!

Oh, Steven!

Oh god, Steven.

Ruth, come on.

No, we can't leave him there!

Steven!

Steven, no, Steven!

Lisa, bring her up!

Bring her up!

Steven!

Jack, you and Lisa
gotta hold that thing off

for a couple of minutes.

Ruth, get inside
by the power box

and throw on the
juice when I yell ou!

You okay, Ruth?

Come on, move, go, go, go!

Listen, both of you, if
this thing doesn't work

we grab Ruth and get
the hell out of here.

Jack!

Jamie, get clear
for Christ's sake!

I can't!

It's pulling it loose.

Hit it, Ruth, now!

Jamie, no!
