I Live Alone (2021) - full transcript

Sixteen year old Parker has to go stay with her reclusive Aunt Len while her Mother's in the hospital. Parker quickly realizes her Aunt is living in solitude for a very dark and horrific reason.

[Hank] Look, I gotta
get so much shit done today,

I don't even
know where to start.

[Carolyn]
Oh, yeah?

[Hank] Where do
you want me to start?

Whose fucking lawn were you
sleeping in tonight, Hank?

[Hank]
Well, fuck. I've been...

[Carolyn] You think
I don't fucking hear?

I know all the fucking
neighbors because I actually

take the time to get
to fucking know...

You know what? It's cool.
I'll fucking do it!

I'll fucking do it...!



[Hank]
Woah. Where did Carolyn go?

You're Scaro-lyn. Again.

- [Carolyn] Rewind it.
- [Hank] Oh, come on.

[Carolyn]
Fuck you!

[crickets chirping]

[Carolyn] I asked you to stop
leaving your fucking beer cans

everywhere so we don't look
like we're fucking animals!

[Hank] Well, I fixed the
fucking toilet so we don't have

to feel like it.

Yeah! There were
fucking glass in the toilet!

[eerie instrumental]
[crickets chirp]

[Carolyn] Okay,
so where were you all day, huh?

- [Hank] Why...
- [Carolyn] I fucking called you.

Five times for work
because I told you all



you had to do was
fucking pick that shit up

and fucking go
to your job interview.

Yes, I know. I fucking did all
these things this morning.

[Carolyn]
It's a fucking mess!

I thought you were
supposed to clean out

the fucking front yard, huh?

- I did.
- Oh, you did, really?

Beer can. Beer can. Beer can.

It smells like
fucking shit out there.

Out there. It's fine
out there. It blows away...

Take a look. What
the fuck have you done all day?

You had a job interview.
You didn't go.

My dad buys us a fucking house.

- I work all fucking day.
- It's Saturday...

It's not Saturday,
Hank, it's Wednesday.

You know what?
It's fine.

I'll go fucking do it myself.
I'm gonna fucking... No!

I'm gonna fucking do it,

because that's what
I have to fucking do.

[Hank]
Saturday.

[Carolyn tearfully] You make
me do fucking everything

while you sit downstairs
and jerk off

to fucking Night Court! Who
fucking watches Night Court?

[Hank]
Fucking me watches Night...

[Carolyn] Yeah, you! It's not
sexy. It's fucking weird!

Why don't we just make
sure all the neighbors know

all our fucking
problems, Hank? Huh?

Why don't you scream
a little fucking louder,

you piece of shit?

I fucking hate that earing.
I fucking hate it.

[Hank]
You bought it for me. Jesus!

Christ. Hey, buddy!
We tidied up!

We're looking good
over here if you want a beer...

[Carolyn] Shut the fuck up
and get away from the window.

Get away from
the fucking window, Hank!

[Hank]
Is this okay?

Can I sit here? Can I just...

[Carolyn]
I'm going to bed. I can't.

I can't even with this anymore.

[Hank] Look, can you...

Grab my
sunglasses on the table?

My cigs? Smokes.



[soft barking]
[Carolyn indistinct yelling]

- Fuck off.
- [thudding]

[dog whining]

[buzzer]



[sighs]

[buzzing]

Hey.
I'm tired.

You're always tired.

I checked in on my mom today,
before I left.

Um, frail.

Hope this treatment works.

There isn't
really any other option.

Oh, you did?

Yeah. I'll be back
in school in a couple of days.

I was granted some me time.

Or, me and my crazy
aunt who I barely know-time.

[sighing]

She's lived alone forever.

I'm sure she's thrilled
to have me pushed on her.

I know, this is shit.

Thirty miles feels like
it's across the fucking country

without a car.

Oh, and I get
to start taking the bus.

Can't wait to ride beside...
sweatpants boner guy

and the woman
who eats her own skin

while I enjoy my
coffee every morning.

And then, when I'm
at Auntie Loner's place,

like, what am I supposed to do?

Start fucking
crocheting with her?

I haven't even seen
her since I was probably nine.

Yeah.
[scoffing]

Whatever. It's fine.

She's my only option
while my mom's in the hospital.

[sighs deeply]

No, actually.

They were going
to pull me out of school

and have me go
to Michigan to my uncle Steve's

and I'm not doing that.

I'd miss prom.

[sighing]

Yeah, I do hate that shit.

But I'd like to at least have
the option to not have Carla

fucking Macuso swoop in and
try to get you to go with her.

Unless you want to, I mean.

I heard she's saving her hymen
but anal is fair game.

Seriously, like,
what's even the point of that?

[laughs]

Yeah, I love you too.

Sorry, this feels like
it all changed overnight,

but that's my life.

Oh, is this it?

I guess I'm here.

Wish me luck.

I'll call you later.

Bye.

[delicate piano
instrumental echoes]





Parker. I barely recognize you.

The last I saw you,
you were peeing in my bathtub.

[Parker]
Not anymore.

[Aunt Len]
Come on in.

What? No hug?

Oh, yeah. Thanks.

Um, for letting me stay
with you. You saved my ass.

Is that right?

Yeah, it'd be hard leaving
in the middle of 11th grade.

[Aunt Len]
I suppose it would.

Just know that I live alone
because that's how I desire it.

So please try
to be clean and quiet,

and follow
my house rules.

I'm more than happy to help
you and your poor mother out.

God only knows
she's been through enough.

Yeah, she has.
And I will. Promise.

How was the drive here?

Longer than I remember it.

Yeah,
traffic has gotten hideous.

Well,
let me show you around.

Living room.

Dining room.

[soft piano]

Kitchen.

Make sure you clean up
after yourself, I get ants.

[Parker]
Okay.

[Aunt Len]
You remember this place at all?

[Parker]
Not really.

[Aunt Len] Well, you were
pretty young last time.

No one ever wants
to visit boring Aunt Len.

[Parker]
No, that's not true.

It's just been a busy
few years with dad's move

and mom being sick.

You ever hear
from that old bastard?

My dad?

Not that much.

He's remarried
and living in Florida.

Ah, he was always
such a lump of shit.

And to leave your poor,
sick mother like that.

Ugh.

[stairs clacking]

Well, this will be your room.

I got a few empty drawers over
there. Feel free to unpack.

[Parker]
Thanks.

You know. I remember
something about this place.

I thought I saw
a ghost here when I was little.

I was sure it was haunted.

[Aunt Len laughs heartily]

A lot worse things to be
afraid of than a little ghost.

[Parker] Yeah,
I was a spaz when I was a kid.

Yeah, well,
get yourself settled.

I got a stew
in the slow cooker for dinner.

[Parker]
Sounds good. Thanks again.

[Aunt Len]
Yeah.

[floor creaking]

[eerie Tibetan
bowls instrumental]

Feeling settled?

[Parker]
Thanks for this.

Eh, I'm sure
it's nothing fancy

like you're used
to in the big city.

[Parker] Oh, me and mom
usually just get Postmates.

Postmates?
What the fuck is that?

[Parker]... Oh,
it's just like this...

Oh! I forgot
to mention, that room.

The room over
there is off limits.

It's my personal space, anyway.

I keep it locked up,
so just stay out of there.

You got it. No problem.



[eerie instrumental
intensifies]

It's fine, we just
ate stew and I unpacked.

She was being nice enough.

It does smell like
bleach and dust here, though.

Oh, she has this
weird, secret room

that I'm not allowed
to go near, apparently.

I don't know.
Her porn collection.

That's fucking gross!
[laughs]

I got to get some sleep,
I'm so dead.

Yeah. Love you.

Call me tomorrow.

[zipper tugging]

[room din]

[eerie music]

[Hank]
Hey. You're trespassing.

Sorry, I just live over there.

You live with that old lizard?

[Parker]
Huh?

You must have just moved in.
I don't forget a pretty face.

Almost a week ago.

I'm sorry for cutting through
your yard. I won't do it again.

Oh, this isn't my place.

Oh, then why...

You got something right there.

Thanks.

[Hank]
Got it.

I... Gotta... Get going.

I... I just
live down the street.

Well, I'm sure
you'll see me again.

[dry chuckle]

[door slams]

[Parker]
Aunt Len, I, uh...

[Aunt Len]
No.

Oh. What?

- No?
- I'm meditating.

[eerie tone]

Oh, um, I was just...

No!

I'm... I'm going
to go be... Upstairs.

[thumping]

[labored moaning]

[sighs]

[sighing]

[door creaking]

Ugh.

[giggling]

[soft instrumental]

Hi, yeah, it's Parker.

How is she?

Oh, yeah, for sure.

Yeah, that's fine.

Oh, ca...
Hey, can you just...

Tell her I love her?

[water running]

What do you expect?

Your sleep like shit, here.

[room din]

[bed creaking]

[sighs]

[eerie warbling instrumental]

[metallic clank]

[eerie tone]

[door smacking]

[sighs]

[shivering & groaning]

[sniffing]

You ready for this, beautiful?

I can't wait.

Let's just breathe, okay?

[deep rhythmic breathing]

Ah... Ah.

[Olivia groans]

Ah! Ah! [yells]

[Parker]
It's okay, mama.

I'm just so tired, baby.

[heavy breathing]

[Nurse]
She's all right.

[Parker]
Okay, yeah.

I'm right here.
Try to get some sleep.

[Olivia]
I know. I know.

[shivering & groaning]

It seems extra bad today.

That's to be expected.

[Parker]
Is it ever going to get better?

I hope so.
This is an intense case.

I've never seen anyone get
to this point and, you know...

What? Live? Jesus.

What can I do?

You're doing it.

Your mother may
need to be moved.

Her requirements for
treatment are becoming too much

to handle at home.

She mentioned you have an aunt.

Who?

Oh, Aunt Len? Um...

I haven't seen her in years.

She's worried about you missing
school, falling behind.

She shouldn't
be worrying about me.

It's a mother's job, dear.

Is there no one else nearby?

[Parker]
Who? Like, family?

No, everyone's across
the country, basically.

You're such a strong girl.
An example.

I don't feel so strong.

[Olivia moans sharply]

Come here.

[quick breathing]

You have a good day, baby?

It's all right.

Is Josh gonna
take you to that dance?

I don't know if I'll go.

[Olivia]
Go, baby. You should go.

You
deserve to have some fun.

Just haven't really
been in a fun mood, lately.

Yeah.

You know why
you're here, right?

You do?

[heavy panting]

I'm fine.

If I have to be a martyr,

just know for me,
it was worth it.

Every goddamn moment.

I raised you to be strong.
A leader.

That voice, telling you to run?
Don't you listen to it.

It's gonna,
it's gonna get dark.

It's gonna be different.

The shadows
that follow you, the agony

and the voices
that call out to you...

They're not real!
None of it's real!

The only thing
that's real is right here.

You and me!

[groaning]

Don't trust.
Don't let it get to you.

Stay one step ahead,
just like I taught you.

I know you'll be fine.
With or without me.

[Parker]
No.

I don't want to be
fine without you. I can't.

You can. I know you're in pain,

but I promise
it won't be forever.

I don't have anyone.

Mama!

[grunting]

[Nurse]
Parker! Take a walk!

She needs to be sedated.
She's been hurting too hard.

She has to sleep!

Don't fucking touch me!

[Parker] What
is she talking about?

Pass me that!
We're fine. Go!

We're not...
Fine!

[Parker]
Mama, let her help you!

[Olivia] I can feel it. It's
inside me! It's talking to me!

[indistinct yelling]

[Nurse]
Just go! Now!

Go! Now!

[grunting & screaming]

[distorted tones]

[screams]

[gasping]



Keep
your enemies close, Parker.

Louise!

Oh. She's gone.

[demonic voice] She's gone.



[whispers]

[distorted drum instrumental]





[screaming]

[distorted tones]

[warbled]
She knows.





She knows.

[gasps]

[screaming]

Aunt Len, what are you doing?

You were having a nightmare.

I was letting
it run its course.

No, but...
Why are you in my bed?

Try and get
some more sleep, dear.

It's late.

Only good dreams in this house.

[creaking]

What?

[panting]

[eerie sound]

[door smacking]

Ugh. Fuck!

Uh... This is so stupid.

What are
we doing in here again?

Ugh, she's weird.

I have to bring
up you coming over

but I know she won't like it.

She doesn't like
people in her space.

You live with her now.

Yeah, I don't think she likes
me either. Just tolerates me.

[Josh]
Yeah, I don't blame her.

You are kind
of the worst, so...

[laughs]
Fuck off.

[Parker laughs]

You like that?

[Parker]
Mm. Mm-hm.

[Josh]
Ooh.

You down for some foreplay?

Get the fuck away from me.

[Josh] Well, you should
at least let her know that

they've updated sex
toys in the last 40 years.

Yeah, I don't think
that's what they are.

Okay, smart girl,
then exactly why does she have?

Meat hooks? Cleavers?
Is that what they are?

I don't know
what they look like.

[Parker] I
told you, she's a weird lady.

Okay. You have 13
minutes to get on this.

Oh.

I have a test
in the morning, so.

- Thirteen minutes?
- Mm-hm.

- You only need three.
- Oh, okay cool.

[Josh]
Now I am going to kill you.

[laughs] [grunts]

I'm sorry, I'm so far away.

I'm in such a stupid situation.

I promise you won't always

have to take me
sneakily in the shed.

I was starting to think
you were ashamed of me.

[Parker]
Oh no, I am.

[Josh]
Oh, cool. Perfect.

[laughs]

[smooches]

[chuckles]

[Josh] You sure you don't
want to come with me, babe?

- I'll break you out of here.
- Ugh. More than you know.

I have to be here,
you know I do.

[Josh]
Yuh.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Oh, and uh, babe, by the way,
those three minutes,

totally worth the drive.

Ooh! Pretty sure
it was two and a half.

[chuckling]



[clattering]

[distant yelling]

Aunt Len?

Aunt Len.

[stairs thumping]
[distant screaming]

Aunt Len!
Aunt Len, are you okay?

[eerie buzzing]

[screams]

Did I scare you?

I'm sorry.

Are... Are you okay?

Oh, fine.

I was just
watching a movie in there.

I'm used to living alone.

I forgot you were even here.

Oh. Thank God.

You scared the crap out of me.

You know, dear, there's
such a stigma against people

that choose to live
their lives in solitude.

We're crazy, weird or broken.

But what most people fail
to understand is that maybe

people like me see things very
clearly and they're the ones

that are oblivious
to the dangers out there.

Just dating, having families,

going out for drinks
with friends at bars,

opening themselves up.

And then they call
people like me paranoid,

while we're the ones
that were right all along.

It's a good thing
you're afraid, Parker.

There are some very
dark things out there

that you don't even realize.

Uh, okay. I... I don't...

I know you don't dear. But
one day you will understand.

Now, go back to sleep.

Okay.

Goodnight.

Sorry for scaring you.

[Parker] It's
okay.

[stairs thumping]

Aunt Len, you here?

Oh, dear, did I miss a spot?
I cut my foot last night.

I thought I got it all.

Oh, are you okay?

Of course, dear. When do you
plan on going back to school?

Actually, even though
they gave me a few days off,

I was thinking
of going back today.

No point putting
off the inevitable.

Exactly. Um.

Would you mind if my boyfriend,
Josh, came by sometime?

Well, I suppose we can
discuss it at some point.

I'm not a fan of visitors.

Yeah, I know.
I promise, he's super chill.

Let's just settle
in for a bit first, okay?

Yeah, okay.
Sure.

[sighing]

[room din]

[wooden thump]

Yo.

[Aunt Len]
This is private property.

Oh, well, I'm
friends with that little girl

you got living with ya.

You don't have any friends.

You smell like
booze and old meat.

[Hank]
Ouch.

I don't have time for this.

[low voice] Well, you're
a fiery old bitch, ain't ya?

Please leave.

What must
your poor wife think?

Oh, you met my wife.

Carolyn's mean like you.

Here, why don't
you have a little of this?

I'm not gonna tell you again.
Get out of my yard!

[Hank] Oh, you're
not gonna tell me again?

Come on. Just, have a drink
with your old buddy Hank.

Lizards are thirsty, huh?

Uh. Why is everyone so
goddamn uptight around here?

Phew. It's fucking' hot.

Huh?

[flesh piercing]

[grunting & groaning]

[blood sloshing]

- [malefic laughing]
- [blood gushing]

[Hank groaning]

[distorted instrumental]

[shovel clumping]

[Parker]
Hey!

Hello, Parker.

I just got home.
Your garden's looking nice.

Thank you, dear.

It was a difficult
one to deal with.

Well, it looks really good.

A bit better everyday.

It's all about getting
the right compost in there.

Aunt Len, were you drinking?

It smells like beer.

Oh, dear. I don't drink.

[Parker chuckles]

I know.
I was just kidding.

You're hilarious.

[birds chirping]

Josh may come over for dinner.

What? Really?

Don't make me regret it.

I won't. I promise.

You're the best, Aunt Len.

See that, Hank?

The lizard-lady's the best.

[throaty spit]

Thanks again for having me.

[Parker]
Mm-hmm.

[Aunt Len]
Certainly.

It's um. It was
a pretty long drive out here.

But it's nice.

It was like
a really nice drive out here.

I don't like the city.

[Josh]
Yeah, no. For sure, for sure.

I feel that. I feel that.

It was kinda nice
just having some alone time

with my thoughts
and stuff on the drive.

Just like, really great just
thinking about life, stuff.

You got
a sick-ass pad, Aunt Len.

Uh, so Aunt Len.

Josh loves that,
um, Star Trek show you watch.

Oh, yeah?

But the only
good run was the Voyager.

It's so cool and vintage.

It's the original or nothing.

You kids don't know
what quality is anymore.

You're crazy, Aunt Len.

I mean, Voyager's got
some serious girl power, too.

You gotta appreciate that.
Captain Janeway. Jeez.

[Aunt Len]
Do I?

Okay, well, then,
I gotta know this.

You're obviously
into it, especially now,

with the government releasing
new information...

What's your thoughts on the
whole extraterrestrial thing?

[Parker clears her throat]

The whole thing?

Yeah, I mean, are they real,
not real?

[Aunt Len]
Of course they're real.

How could anyone
be so unbelievably naive

and narrow minded to think that

we're the only intelligent
beings in this entire universe?

See? Yes, I completely agree.

So let's... Let's
take it to the next level.

What do they want?
Are they good? Are they bad?

What do they want?
Domination at any cost.

Oh, but they're not
like the ridiculous aliens

you see in TV
and in the movies.

They're highly
intelligent and strategic.

Alien is a pedestrian
word for what they are.

[Josh] You could be right.
You could be right.

I mean, you likely are.

But what do they do?

I mean,
is it Alien or Body Snatchers?

Do they just
want to learn from us?

Experiment?
Or kill?

Kill.

Star Trek gets it so wrong.

Yes, they do.

You can hang, Aunt Len.

Thank you.

And this meat loaf is fuego.

Yeah,
really delicious, Aunt Len.

I added a teaspoon of syrup.
My secret.

I'll have to remember that.

Hey, Aunt Len.

Do you know this guy

who was supposedly
one of your neighbours?

Hank, I think.

Nah, he's nothing
to worry about.

Hank?

He seemed pretty off.

Yeah.
He won't bother you again.

[Parker]
Okay.

[Josh]
So any word from Mama Park?

What?

[Aunt Len]
She's had a bad few days.

The treatment
caused a terrible reaction.

Shit babe,
I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Why didn't you tell me?

It's okay,
let's just enjoy the night.

Are you going to finish that?

Thanks, Aunt Len.

You want some?

No.

[Josh exhales deeply]

[Parker]
That went well.

[Josh]
You think?

[Parker] Yeah,
you sure were talking a lot.

Yeah. Just feeling her out.

I'm sorry about your mom.

I hate that this
is happening to you.

Weird, how some can
just have a reaction like that.

Yeah, me too.

See you tomorrow.

I have math first, so
I'll see you between classes.

You are so pretty.

[chuckles]

Bye.

[Josh sighs]

[door clicking]

[Aunt Len]
She's going to be all right.

Huh?

I know you're
worried about your mother.

She's strong.

We have to believe
she's going to pull through.

I know. You're right.

It's just been really hard.

And not seeing her is...

Why haven't
we seen you in so long?

Your mother and I
were very close as children,

all the way through to our 20s.

We just chose
different paths for our lives.

Things got busy.

I blinked and bam,
the little girl I once knew

was almost an adult.

I'm sorry, I didn't make
an effort to come see you more.

And your mother.

That's why I have to believe
she's going to pull through.

I hope to get
a chance to make things right.

Like before
the change happened.

[eerie music]

It's not all on you.

Don't feel bad.

Mom could have tried harder.
We all could have.

[Aunt Len]
You're a good girl, Parker.

Don't let the bad
things out there get you.

- [glass shatters]
- [gasping]

- Sky booms.
- [Parker] What is it?

[Aunt Len] Nobody really knows
for sure. I've got my theories.

Sounds like a war out there.

Perhaps it is.
We just don't know it yet.

I've been
hearing them a lot lately.

They come and they go.

What do you mean?

[running footsteps]

[Aunt Len] No worries!
Nothing to worry about!

What the... fuck?

I... I'm going to bed.

[door slamming]

[sighs]

[Aunt Len]
Parker?

Not now.

What happened?

Boy shit.

[Aunt Len]
I'm not very good at that.

That's okay. I'll be fine.

Anyone who makes
you cry is not worth your time.

I've never
wasted a moment on it.

I love the idiot.

That's the problem.

What is young love?

It's almost certain
you'll move on from each other,

it's not permanent.

It's hormones and insecurities,
neediness and jealousy.

Believe me, you're better off.

Believe me.
I wish it was that simple.

He just basically
lied to me about everything

and destroyed our entire plan.

I guess we're
talking about this.

So Josh
is a year older than me.

He was going to put off school

for a year
and work to save money.

And then when I graduate, we
were going to move out together

and go to the same school.

Now apparently he wants to go
to college now and not defer.

And he got accepted
into a totally different school

I didn't even
know he applied to.

Guys are fucking liars.

All people are liars.

[Aunt Len inhaling deeply
and sighing]

I don't know
if this will help you,

but maybe,
you need to know this.

We're not alone
here on this Earth, Parker.

We're being secretly
attacked and life as we know it

may change
sooner than you think.

So all this crap with your
boyfriend may not even matter.

What are you talking about?

[Aunt Len] That's why
I keep people out. It's safer.

Sometimes I think
I'm the last one left.

Last what?

Human.

Person.

What are you talking about...?

Do you mind
if I just take a nap?

I need to clear my head.

Oh, of course,
it's a lot to process.

Dinner's at 6:30.

Thanks.

[sighing]

[phone buzzing]

[phone buzzing]

[phone thudding]

[phone buzzing]

What?

No, I'm not going
to talk about this right now.

I need time.

No, don't come here.

Maybe tomorrow.

My aunt won't
let you in anyway.

Hang on.

I'm going to go for a walk.

I'll give you
15 minutes to explain

how you magically
thought it would be fine

to change around our entire
future without talking to me.

I'm going to get some air.

I'll be back by dinner.

[stairs clacking]

[knocking]

Hi! I'm Carolyn.

I live seven
or eight houses over.

[Aunt Len]
Okay.

Can I come in?

Wow, nice place. Very vintage.

You know, I bet it perfectly
compliments your personality.

That's what
all the design shows

are going
for these days, right?

Anyways, our little dog
went missing last night.

She's a little white Maltese.
Her name's Angel.

I've been going around seeing

if any
of the neighbors have seen her.

Don't worry,
she's super friendly.

She'd open mouth kiss
you the first time she met you.

No, I haven't seen it.

And if it's
been gone overnight,

it's probably not coming back.

Oh no, I like
to keep a super positive

attitude about these things.

It drives my husband crazy.

He says, "I come on too strong
and I force myself on people."

I just tell him every
stranger is a new friend

I'm waiting to meet, right?

[Aunt Len] Yeah,
I haven't got any friends.

[Carolyn] That's not
right, you have me now.

[eerie music]

Sure you haven't seen her?

[Aunt Len] I have not. I need
to get back to my dinner.

It's on the stove.

Okay.
Well, it was nice to meet you.

[grunts]

Nice try, you motherfucker.

[sighing]

- [grunting]
- [plastic crinkling]

Okay. All right.

[distant ice cream truck music]

Oh, my God. What happened?

Parker, be careful.

[Parker]
Who is this? What happened?

[Aunt Len]
She's one of them.

One of who?

I swear, kids really
are the worst listeners.

One of those things,
the invaders.

She's not human, Parker.

She came here to hurt us.

This is really fucked up.
She needs a doctor, Aunt Len!

Oh. It's too late for that.

That won't help the poor thing.

[grunting]

[screaming]

[flesh squelching]

Ah!

[enraged screaming]

No, you do not
come barging into my house!

[grunting]

[screaming]

You fucking killed her!

What the fuck?

[Aunt Len] You're
going to help me with this?

Help you do what?

I'm calling the police.

Oh, no, you're not.

I'll cry and say I came
home and found you doing this

to my neighbor,
my poor sweet neighbor.

She was my friend
and you killed her!

I'm not stupid, dear.

I know you're
a troubled girl of the past.

You've been arrested.

Got caught up
with the wrong crowd.

And me?

I am squeaky fucking clean.

That was a long time ago.

After my dad left.

Tell that to them, I'm sure
they'll be very understanding.

I'm going to my room.

[sighs]
What a mess.

[eerie instrumental]

[panting]





[whimpering]

[phone buzzing]

I can't talk right now.

What do you mean
you're almost here?

It's not a good time.

I said that to get
you to stop yesterday!

- Fuck!
- [phone thudding]

[delicate piano instrumental]

Hello.

Hello?

[knocking]



[knocking]

Uh... Why's it so
fucking dark in here?

You don't want to know.

Where's your aunt?

I'm not sure.

Oh, so we have
the house to ourselves, do we?

What's wrong?

I need you to come
in that room with me.

You do, do you?

Can you ever
not think about sex?

Ugh...

Okay. What the fuck's going on?

I think my
aunt's a serial killer.

I think she's
going to come for us.

Okay, what?

Seriously.

You're starting
to freak me out, now.

Okay. Wait. What exactly
are we looking for in here?

[Parker]
It's unlocked.

Babe, was that you?

Stop.

Oh my God.

[Josh]
You see anything down there?

[Parker]
No.

[panting]

Ah!

[bass picking up]

[Josh]
Holy shit!

We gotta get
the fuck out of here, now!

- I have to see something!
- Right fucking now!

Oh fuck.

She was right.

You were right, you know?

Aunt Len.

Right about what?



You were the last one left.

[riveting piano &
string instrumental]

[thump]

[Josh]
No, no, Aunt Len!

- No! Open up!
- [banging]

[Parker]
Let us out! Help!

[thumping]

[banging]

I fucking told you,
I fucking told you.

Parker, you fucking fooled me!

I'm such a fool.

I broke my own rules.

I can't believe this...

[Parker]
Aunt Len, open the door.

I knew better than that.
Dammit.

This light?
This light is very important.

I keep them on in all the
closets and in the basement.

Those things, they prefer
unoccupied dark places

to take their rest.

These lights,
they don't like them.

These lights expose them.

They expose them.

[Josh] Aunt Len, come on.
Let us out. This is weird.

[thudding]

I keep hoping, hoping that
maybe I'm not the last of us.

Maybe, just maybe there's
still some of us out there.

Just the tiniest
bit of hope left.

Or maybe not. Probably not.

I first noticed them
infiltrating my neighborhood

about 68 days ago...

[Josh]
Parker! She's fucking crazy!

I saw it in a woman on the news
then in some politicians

and my own sister,

Parker's mother.

She was one of the first.

She's not ill.

She's contaminated.

She's contaminated.

I knew it was too far gone and
I knew I'd never see her again.

I just prayed
I could save Parker.

[Parker]
What are you doing?

I let my weak feelings in.

Loneliness, loneliness
and only trusting yourself.

That's the only way to survive.

Look at me. Look at me.

I've become a killer. I've
become a fucking serial killer.

Fuck!

[Josh] What? Are you just
going to keep us down here?

[thumping]

This is it.

I've been preparing
for it my whole life.

I knew this day would come.

Probably even
before they got here.

Ask yourself. Who's crazy now?

[exhales]

[deep breathing]

[Josh]
Let us out, Aunt Len!

Who's crazy now?

[Parker screams]

[screaming]

[Josh]
Open the door!

[screaming]

[handle unlocks]

[panting]

[thump]

[footsteps]

[wood groans]

[clattering]

[metal grating]

[thumping]

[short scream]

[body thudding]

[Len's steady panting]

[Parker faintly]
Aunt... Aunt Len...

[blast]

[distorted sounds]
