Boardinghouse (1982) - full transcript
Resembling a cross between "The Amityville Horror" and a Playboy Playmates video, this film tells the terrifying tale of a cheesy video special effect that stalks bikini-clad women. In between scenes of them playfully splashing each other and wrestling with each other's bathing suit tops, they're murdered and/or terrorized by horrific hallucinations. These hallucinations include seeing blood in the shower stalls (while they're trying to lather up), having giant monsters jump out of the hall closet, and seeing their faces temporarily turn into rubber halloween masks.

by the mysterious circumstances
surrounding that tragedy.
So far, they have turned
up no new evidence
and made no arrests.

I'm inquiring about the
ad in the newspaper.
I was the one who called earlier.

- [Debbie] Pumpkin? Aw,
hey, kitty, puss, puss.
- Don't let Jim see him.
- [Debbie] Aw, look, you little thing.
- How's your little room, Debbie?
- Oh, it's just fine.
_ Qkay-
- Pam, I think it's above the stove.
(cat meows)
Hi, Victoria. Hi, guys.
- Hi.
- Hey, I heard that Pam is mad at you.
- I'm just getting sick and tired
of all her crap, that's all.
(ominous music)
(dramatic music)
- Oh fuck! Razor blade.
- It sounds like you've
known her for too many years.
- Too long.

All her fingers work, I checked them.
Gloria just took her over to emergency.
Hey, about your friend here,
I'll give you a couple of days, okay?
Get rid of it. Find a nice home.
(ominous music)
(Victoria gasps and screams)
(water splashing)
- Stupid.
(ominous music)
- (indistinct) Derek's competition,
what happened to you?
- That wacko Gardner, he
jumped out of the bushes,
and I fell in this pool.
- He's weird, he keeps staring
at me. I don't like it.
- Yeah, Jim?
- [Jim] Uh-huh.
- I know you explained
to us about the gardener,
that he comes along with the house,
but are you sure that we're safe?
- Yeah, don't worry about him, girls.
He's okay, he wouldn't hurt a fly.
- A fly no, us, maybe.
- Hey, he saved my
uncle's life in Vietnam.
That's why he looks like
that, scarred and everything.
- Look what he did to Victoria.
- He scared the frigging pants off me.
- Well, I can see that.
Look, he's just not used to women.
A little strange, I admit, but he's okay.
He wouldn't hurt anybody
Gentle as a kitten.
- More like a crocodile, excuse me.
- Hey, maybe he just needs a friend.

It's all right, it's okay, I'm here.

- Oh, I'm just taking care of my flowers.
(Debbie humming)
(wind blowing)
- [Richard] I didn't wanna
hurt you, baby. I love you.
Oh Cindy, why'd you have to run away?
Well, I guess I'll have to
call Detective Harris again.
He did a good job for me last time.

That should be fun.
- Yeah, you won't have to
be practicing on our on.

- A little mind over matter,
huh? We'll see about that.
- Hey, girls.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- How about us having a
party, Saturday night?
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
- A warming house party.
- Yeah.
- For all the new girls.
- Hey Victoria, why
don't you call your agent
and have your band play, maybe?
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
- It might be a little short notice
but the guys would love to do it.
- [Jim] Okay, why don't
you call your agent?
- Okay, I'll call him right now.

sort of a house warming.
And he asked if the band

He said he'd invite a

(rake scraping)
(phone ringing)
- Hello? Oh, hi Tommy Lee, what's up?
Message? No, I didn't get any message.
Pam?
On a commercial?
Her? I've been home for about an hour.
She didn't say anything to me,
in fact, as I was coming
in she borrowed my car.
She was supposed to be there?
I see.
(Victoria sighs)
And she's not.
Well, I'm sorry. Nothing
I can do about it.
I didn't get any message,
she didn't say a thing to me about it.
She just took my car and took off.
I'm sorry, it'll never happen again, ever.
Yeah, okay. Sorry.
Bye.
That bitch!
- [Jim] You can do it, Joel, come on.
- Oh, that's a terrible thing
to have happen, terrible.
My goodness.
- Did you talk to Goldfarb?
- Yeah, I talked to
Goldfarb the other day.
Listen, uh...

- Yeah, deal's on. We
gotta meet over there,
and we got to look at those papers,
that you're supposed to take care of.
- The printouts.
- Yeah, the printouts.
- All right.
- Okay?
- I revised them for you.
- Did you? Thank you.
- It took me a week.
- I appreciate that.
I'll take you out and
buy you a few drinks.
(water pouring)
- [Narrator] Our love life is (indistinct)
but the (indistinct) cobwebs of desire
of lingering echos in the
distant canyons of our mind.
- [Jim] Who's there?
- Oh, it's only me.
' [Jim] WhO'S me?
- Hi.
- Oh, hi Victoria, come on in.
What's up?
- I thought I'd come in for
a visit. I couldn't sleep.
- Oh yeah? Take a hot
bath, it'll relax you.
You can have it after me.
- What's that gold thing on your bed?
- Oh, that's a pyramid grid.
- So that's what you're into?
- Not really, actually I'm
into harnessing cosmic energy
so that I can learn the
secrets of the universe,
creation itself.
- What do you wanna know that for?
- Watch.
(Jim humming)
(dramatic music)
(Victoria gaSPS)
- Did you make that soap move?
- Yeah, it's just energy.
- Where are the strings? Come on.
(Jim chuckles)
- No strings.
- You mean you just made
it move with your brain?
- Yeah, it's focus, and
mental focus with the mind.
- I've heard about it, but I
only thought that those gurus
or whatever on the high mountains
could do stuff like that.
- No, everybody can do it. It's easy.
All you have to do is focus,
see the object in your mind.
_God!
- Think very specifically
about that object,
and then in your mind, make
it move and it will move.
And if you have enough
concentration it works,
just like that.
- Anybody can do it?
- Sure.
(Victoria humming)
- It's not working.
(Victoria giggling)
- No, no, no. Rome wasn't
built in a day, come on.
It's easy.
- It is, huh?
- Uh- huh.
- I guess I'm gonna go back and
see if I can get some sleep.
I got a lot to think about.
- Hey, don't get LIP-
(Victoria screams)
There you go, sweet dreams.
- Where are you going?
_No!
- There she is.
- You're all wet!
- What happened?
(bright upbeat music)
- [Victoria] I hope those painters
don't take too long with my room
I'll hate sleeping in that den.

- So, this is your special place, huh?
- Yeah. My mom used to
bring me here often.
Jim?
- Uh-huh.
- Tell me more about your powers.
- Okay. Oh, about that horrible
dream you had in the den,
why don't you just move back
to your room till Friday?
- Oh, you mean the
painters aren't done yet?
- Sorry.
(water splashing)
- [Richard] Cindy.
- What are you doing here?
- I was gonna ask you the same thing.
- I live here.

wet tonight? Come on in.
(girls giggling)
- Hey, what is this gun?
- It's for protection,
I've been uneasy lately.
- [Richard] I don't
understand this arrangement.
- What arrangement?
- [Richard] This living arrangement.
- It's like a sorority house.
Boys aren't even allowed
above the first floor.
- Like your sweet, old, house mother, Jim.
(both laughing)
(water splashing)
ls that right?
- No.
- When I asked you to marry me right away,
you said you needed a
couple of weeks to think,
and I want your answer.
And I want you out of
here, one way or another.
(Cindy crying)
- I need time. I need more time.
(door closes)
(Cindy crying)
(breathing heavily)
(ominous music)

Hmm, great.
- How is it?
- Hmm.

body, do you know that?

What did you do?

(dramatic music)
- Ugh.
- I don't know what's wrong.

over me, it's strange.

sounded like a gunshot.

That's it, that's it.

Maybe he thought that was the best way.

So it is her that you love?
Well, I've taken care of mother.
(breathing heavily)
If you won't give me your heart willingly
then I shall take it.
And no one else shall ever have it again.
(ominous music)
If only you would love me,
and be mine instead of mommy's.
Remember our last party?
When mother came upstairs and
found us together in her bed?
Remember how I took care of her?
Why did you have to get angry with me?
Now I shall have your heart forever.
(ominous music)
You see daddy, I have the power.

See, daddy?

to us about the gardener,
that he comes along with the house,
but are you sure that we're safe?
- Yeah, don't worry about him, girls.
He's okay, he wouldn't hurt a fly.
- A fly no, us, maybe.

uncle's life in Vietnam.
That's why he looks like
that, scarred and everything.
- Look what he did to Victoria.

Look, he's just not used to women.
A little strange, I admit, but he's okay.

in she borrowed my car.
She was supposed to be there?
I see.
(Victoria sighs)
And she's not.
Well, I'm sorry. Nothing
I can do about it.
I didn't get any message,
she didn't say a thing to me about it.
She just took my car and took off.
I'm sorry, it'll never happen again, ever.
Yeah, okay. Sorry.
Bye.
That bitch!
- [Jim] You can do it, Joel, come on.
- Oh, that's a terrible thing
to have happen, terrible.
My goodness.
- Did you talk to Goldfarb?
- Yeah, I talked to
Goldfarb the other day.
Listen, uh...
- Deal is on?
- Yeah, deal's on. We
gotta meet over there,
and we got to look at those papers,
that you're supposed to take care of.
- The printouts.
- Yeah, the printouts.
- All right.
- Okay?
- I revised them for you.
- Did you? Thank you.
- It took me a week.
- I appreciate that.
I'll take you out and
buy you a few drinks.
(water pouring)
- [Narrator] Our love life is (indistinct)
but the (indistinct) cobwebs of desire
of lingering echos in the
distant canyons of our mind.
- [Jim] Who's there?
- Oh, it's only me.
' [Jim] WhO'S me?
- Hi.
- Oh, hi Victoria, come on in.
What's up?
- I thought I'd come in for
a visit. I couldn't sleep.
- Oh yeah? Take a hot
bath, it'll relax you.
You can have it after me.
- What's that gold thing on your bed?
- Oh, that's a pyramid grid.
- So that's what you're into?
- Not really, actually I'm
into harnessing cosmic energy
so that I can learn the
secrets of the universe,
creation itself.
- What do you wanna know that for?
- Watch.
(Jim humming)
(dramatic music)
(Victoria gaSPS)
- Did you make that soap move?
- Yeah, it's just energy.
- Where are the strings? Come on.
(Jim chuckles)
- No strings.
- You mean you just made
it move with your brain?
- Yeah, it's focus, and
mental focus with the mind.
- I've heard about it, but I
only thought that those gurus
or whatever on the high mountains
could do stuff like that.
- No, everybody can do it. It's easy.
All you have to do is focus,
see the object in your mind.
_God!
- Think very specifically
about that object,
and then in your mind, make
it move and it will move.
And if you have enough
concentration it works,
just like that.
- Anybody can do it?
- Sure.
(Victoria humming)
- It's not working.
(Victoria giggling)
- No, no, no. Rome wasn't
built in a day, come on.
It's easy.
- It is, huh?
- Uh- huh.
- I guess I'm gonna go back and
see if I can get some sleep.
I got a lot to think about.
- Hey, don't get LIP-
(Victoria screams)
There you go, sweet dreams.
- Where are you going?
_No!
- There she is.
- You're all wet!
- What happened?
(bright upbeat music)
- [Victoria] I hope those painters
don't take too long with my room
I'll hate sleeping in that den.
I Messing with my mind again 1*

bring me here often.

- Tell me more about your powers.
- Okay. Oh, about that horrible
dream you had in the den,
why don't you just move back
to your room till Friday?

wet tonight? Come on in.
(girls giggling)
- Hey, what is this gun?
- It's for protection,
I've been uneasy lately.
- [Richard] I don't
understand this arrangement.
- What arrangement?
- [Richard] This living arrangement.
- It's like a sorority house.
Boys aren't even allowed
above the first floor.
- Like your sweet, old, house mother, Jim.
(both laughing)
(water splashing)
ls that right?
- No.
- When I asked you to marry me right away,
you said you needed a
couple of weeks to think,
and I want your answer.
And I want you out of
here, one way or another.
(Cindy crying)
- I need time. I need more time.

over me, it's strange.

sounded like a gunshot.

You're not hurt, it's okay.
(Cindy breathing heavily)
Relax, relax.
We need to get out of here.

Look at the beautiful crystal,
relax, and feel warm and peaceful.
Everything's all right, trust me.
Everything is beautiful,
and love is beautiful too, not
just pain or disappointment.
It is warm and tender.

Her bed hasn't been slept in last night.
- Yeah.
(paper rustling)
- "l have taken Cindy home
with me, we'll be back later
to pick up her clothes," Richard?
That's strange, she
didn't even say goodbye.

Maybe he thought that was the best way.

What's that you're reading?

After listening to your tapes
and watching you levitate
that soap around the room, I
had one learn more about this.
You might say I'm hooked.
- Hey, welcome aboard.
Who is this by?
Oh, wow, Hoffman.
Hey, I read some things about
him, I read some of his stuff.
He's right on the money.
- Yeah?
- Hm-hmm, he's good. What is this?
"With all my love, to
my beloved daughter, D."
Huh? I'd sure like to meet her.
I bet you she has some power.

and how you'll never go back to her again.
- Are you talking about my wife?
Darling, that's a whole another thing.
That's...
NO, no) no!
- No, you must never go back to mother,
and let her take me off
to that awful place.
Do you understand?
You must stay here with me forever.

So it is her that you love?
Well, I've taken care of mother.
(breathing heavily)
If you won't give me your heart willingly
then I shall take it.
And no one else shall ever have it again.
(ominous music)
If only you would love me,
and be mine instead of mommy's.
Remember our last party?
When mother came upstairs and
found us together in her bed?
Remember how I took care of her?
Why did you have to get angry with me?
Now I shall have your heart forever.

You see daddy, I have the power.
