Skeleton Crew

Pete!

Oh, my God!

Pete! Pete!

Wake up, Pete!

Don't worry. I'm gonna get some help.

You have to help us! We've been in a car accident.

My boyfriend is hurt really bad.

You're not from around here, are you?

What? No. No, I'm not. My name is Lisa.

Please help us. Pete is unconscious.

Okay. Wait here.

I'll get the keys for the ambulance.

- What do we have here? - A car accident.

Take him to Operating Room number... 2.

I'm Doctor Anderson. What happened?

There was a deer on the road.

We didn't see it in time.

Pete lost control of the car.

Next thing I remember,

I was lying on a muddy field, bleeding.

Was Pete awake when you left him? No. No, he wasn't.

What were you doing around here so late at night? Nothing.

We're just on a holiday.

Just driving around the country.

We thought that it would be nice to see the border.

Is Pete going to be okay?

Uh, yes. Everything's going to be fine. Don't you worry.

I've asked the nurse to come over as soon as possible to take a look at this cut.

This is a mental institution.

It's forbidden to walk around in the hospital.

We have many dangerous patients here.

It's for your own safety. Please stay here.

How is Pete?

No news yet. Pete is still in surgery.

Let's have a look at that wound of yours. Come with me.

Please sit down.

Let's get some light.

Yeah, I think it needs a couple of stitches.

You have lots of films there.

Yeah, we have a few. It's our hobby.

What was that?

What? That screaming.

That was nothing-- nothing out of the ordinary.

I have been here so long,

I don't recognize those screams anymore.

Let me see. It's 1974.

That means I have been here... 25 years.

This must be an old hospital.

Yes.

Over a hundred years old.

Are there many of you here?

Just a few on the night shift.

But more come in the morning,

'cause we have almost a hundred patients here.

It's ready.

It's not much to look at, but you're not bleeding anymore.

I'm going to see how your boyfriend is doing. I'll be right back.

You can go down to the break room and get yourself a cup of coffee.

- -

Help! Help!

Kill me! Kill me now!

Didn't I tell you it was forbidden to walk around in here?

It would have been my responsibility if something had happened to you.

Well, I-I didn't know. I heard a voice--

We have many murderers and rapists in here.

Death isn't the worst thing that could happen to you.

I came to tell you the operation was a success.

Everything's going to be fine.

When can I see him?

Straightaway if you'd like. But I'd advise against it. He's still sleeping.

Maybe you should think about sleep yourself. You look tired.

- -

What's-- What's wrong with his eye?

It's missing. Another patient gouged out his eye and ate it.

Come along. I'll get you a room for the night.

I would rather check into a hotel.

You can't get out of here until the morning when the bus comes.

We're a long way from the city.

There's a raging storm outside. The telephone lines have been cut.

And besides, a taxi wouldn't come here anyway.

Nurse, prepare a room for her on this floor.

I think Room number 7 is available.

Good night, Lisa.

Tomorrow's a brand-new day.

I don't think that works.

Good night.

Could you please leave it open?

It feels strange sleeping here.

Stay here no matter what.

- -

- My eye! You ate my eye! -

Pete.

Didn't you lock the door?

I can hear her! She's in the basement!

What are you doing?

Come here. Come here.

You missed her. You imbecile!

Oh, my God!

Lisa--

- Lisa. - Pete.

What have they done?

Lisa, you have to kill me.

No.

No.

They are insane.

They will never stop. Please. It hurts!

I can't take it anymore. Please end this now.

I can't. I'm gonna get you out.

No! No!

No. Save yourself.

Look at me, baby.

I'm gonna die anyways.

If you love me, you'll do it now!

Please! Just do it, baby.

Just do it.

I can't do this!

It's the only way.

I love you, baby.

I love you too.

Brava! I was right.

I felt it immediately when I first met you.

You're a natural-born killer.

Are you ready for your grand finale, Lisa?

Stop.

Please. Oh, don't worry. You're going to be a big star.

Cut!

Cut, cut, cut.

What happened? The production designer didn't do her job properly.

You can see a reflection of the camera in the mirror. Anna!

- Do we have to do it again? - Yes.

What's wrong? You didn't fix the mirror. You can see the camera in it.

Put something on it, and do it quickly. We haven't got all day.

What time is it? Almost 5:30.

Is there time for a smoke? Yeah, sure, sure.

Okay. Chop-chop, people. Get to work.

You're doing really well. This is gonna be great. Thank you.

This film is gonna be like a Saw or a Hostel kind of thing, you know.

Well, I hope there'll be many sequels.

Yeah. I have some ideas about that. Silent Creek II: The Beginning.

Well, none of that prequel stuff.

I mean, something that gives me more work.

Well, I'm not really sure if your character's gonna stay alive after all.

We might have to do an alternative ending.

That was excellent, right? Yes, Bruce.

I think the classic Christopher Lee approach is the way to go.

Absolutely. So you're happy then. Let's keep going.

Well, I was thinking that maybe we could do a couple of takes...

where we take it easy a bit, you know?

Not overdo it so much. Mmm, I don't think so.

I think this is the way to go.

Believe me, I know how to create an unforgettably evil character.

You're looking at a man whom even Sam Raimi couldn't convince of his acting technique.

And that boy's got a vision! Yeah.

I suppose you're right. We should stick to the genre. I'll see you in a bit, Bruce.

How's it going? Good.

Yeah. I think this is gonna be fine. Yeah, I'm sure it will.

The setting's great, but we could have shot this in L.A., you know.

But shooting it here is just as well.

This location is awesome.

This is the actual place where the murders took place.

It's ready. It's free. This would have cost a fortune in L.A.

Well, the walls and the ceiling, they're perfectly decayed.
