00:00What happened to her?
00:07Whatever it is, it's haunting that house.
00:08Touch me.
00:09He's trying to make contact.
00:10He's having a seizure.
00:11It's the man in my dream.
00:12Why won't you see?
00:13It begins in 2002 in Wake Forest, USA, where two sisters, Sarah and Jules, perform a ritual
00:36that causes strange things to happen in their house.
00:39Their mother hears strange noises in their room, and when she goes to check on them,
00:44she hears them screaming.
00:45She tries to open the door but is horrified to find the doorknob bending.
00:50The scene shifts to 2022, where Jules and her paranormal team are in a monk's temple
00:55in the northern region of Malaysia.
00:57A monk is tattooing a girl, who is moaning in pain, while Jules and his team observe
01:03and record the process.
01:05Concerned by the girl's pain, Jules asks Annie if she can ask the monk to stop.
01:10Annie speaks to the monk in a foreign language, and he pauses.
01:14In his language, the monk explains that while this may seem barbaric to Jules, if she remains
01:20silent, she might learn something about helping others instead of profiting from their misery.
01:25This upsets Jules, and she insists he stops, saying she thinks he is hurting the girl.
01:31The monk, now speaking in English, asks Jules if she sleeps better at night, by ignoring
01:37what she sees.
01:38He then continues tattooing, and the girl begins to shake violently.
01:42Jules and her team are shocked, and after some time, a strange substance resembling
01:48small pieces of nails starts coming out of the girl's mouth.
01:52Later, Jules apologizes to the monk, and the monk explains to her that the nails contain
01:57a curse sent by the girl's former lover, but says Jules can sense that, even though
02:02she can no longer see, he tells her that there is no evil, only ignorance.
02:08Jules responds that it's easy for him to say, to which the monk replies that she has
02:12an ability, but only uses it for profit.
02:15He gives her a locket, and when she asks what it is, he says,
02:19Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.
02:24On their way back, Maddy officially welcomes Annie to the skeleton crew and gives her
02:29a team t-shirt.
02:30Annie thanks them and asks how they decide where to go next, to which Maddy explains
02:35that since they announced their tour of Asia, viewers in the region have been writing in,
02:40requesting investigations of their homes.
02:42Most of these homes aren't genuinely haunted, so Jules uses her ability to determine which
02:47ones are or might be.
02:50While checking the emails, Jules comes across one that catches her attention and tells Maddy
02:54that they have something.
02:56Maddy reviews the email and discovers it's from Fraser's Hill in the state of Pahang.
03:01Jules plays the video attached to the email, in which Martha introduces herself and her
03:05husband Ian.
03:07She explains that they are big fans of Skeleton Crew and urgently need their help.
03:12The crew arrives at the house, and Maddy calls Ian to inform him of their arrival, and meanwhile,
03:17Jules notices a girl watching them from a window, but she disappears the next moment.
03:22Ian welcomes them, and Jules comments on how their house is new and beautiful, noting that
03:27haunted houses are usually not so freshly built, to which Ian clarifies that the house
03:32was actually built in the 1970s.
03:35Ian then takes them to meet Martha, who shows them the paintings she has created, and Ian
03:40explains that Martha goes into a trance and paints pictures of a man she has never seen
03:45or met.
03:46Jules examines the paintings and tells Maddy that she doesn't sense anything unusual
03:50in the house or from the paintings.
03:52Hearing this, Martha says there's more if that would help.
03:56Jules asks Martha if she was watching them from an upstairs window, to which Martha replies
04:01that she wasn't, and explains that they moved in around 6 months ago.
04:05Ian mentions that the house was a steal, so they just had to buy it.
04:10Martha also shares that the previous owner was an Australian who lived here for a few
04:14months with his wife.
04:16About 2 months ago, some strange occurrences began.
04:19She would go to sleep, but every morning she would wake up in different parts of the house,
04:24and Ian adds that he'd wake up in bed covered in soil.
04:27After this, Martha shows them her torn clothes and tells them that this damage occurred after
04:32she contacted them.
04:34She believes that whatever is happening is threatening them or trying to prevent them
04:38from getting help.
04:39They then take the team to the basement, where they notice a terrible smell.
04:44Martha explains that the odor started last week, and despite their efforts to get rid
04:48of it, it has only gotten worse.
04:50Jules finds a dead mouse and shows it to the group, but Ian insists that it must be recent
04:55because they had scrubbed every inch of the floor, and it wasn't there before.
04:59Maddie says they have seen everything they need to see, and as they are moving upstairs,
05:04Jules hears a faint disembodied voice echoing, and as she mentions it, the lights go out
05:10and the voice gets closer.
05:12The voice then turns into whispering, and Jules hears a male voice speaking in a foreign
05:16language on the radio.
05:18Jules finds the radio and picks it up, and while she is checking it, a ghost appears
05:22and grabs her hand, prompting her to run out of the house in fear.
05:26Maddie rushes to Jules and stops her from taking her medication, reminding her that
05:30she has already taken it several times.
05:33He calms her down and asks what happened down there.
05:36She tells him that she saw whatever is haunting the house, and it touched her.
05:40She explains that it's trying to make contact.
05:43Maddie suggests that this could be a good thing, but she responds that she can sense
05:47them and hear them, but they don't touch her.
05:50The team sets up the cameras in the house, and Maddie explains to Ian that these cameras
05:54record on multiple wavelengths and are thermosensitive as well.
05:59Later that night, while Ben and Wolf are monitoring the cameras, they notice Ben wake up and walk
06:04out of the room, and then they see him standing still in the garden in front of a plant.
06:10Suddenly, the cameras malfunction, and as they check the equipment, they hear Martha
06:14scream.
06:15They all rush to her room, where they are shocked to see her levitating in the air,
06:20banging her head against the wall.
06:22She pleads for help, but the force throws her to the floor, and before they can grasp
06:26what's happening, Martha yells something in a foreign language.
06:30She is then dragged away, and they all rush after her.
06:34Jules manages to grab her fingers, but Martha's fingers break, and she is pulled away into
06:39the basement.
06:40Ian wakes up and runs back, and as Jules enters the basement, the door slams shut behind her,
06:46trapping her inside.
06:47Jules finds Martha sitting on the floor, scared, and Martha asks what happened.
06:52Jules, trying to reassure her, helps Martha get up, saying everything is okay.
06:58She starts leading her toward the stairs when suddenly a ghost appears, scaring both of
07:02them badly, and only then does the door lock open automatically.
07:06The next day, they review the video footage, and Ben comments that although they've investigated
07:12haunted houses before, they've never seen anything as genuine as this.
07:17While they are watching the footage, Jules notices a ghost standing beside her, staring
07:22at her.
07:23She is horrified and visibly shaken, and when Maddie asks if she is alright, she says she
07:28can't do this and runs away.
07:30Maddie goes after her and tries to stop her, but she insists she can't continue because
07:36she's seeing the ghost everywhere, and she fears it will eventually hurt someone.
07:41Maddie suggests she try to communicate with it to find out what it wants, to which Jules
07:46responds that he has no idea what could happen if they do that.
07:50He asks her to tell him what is going to happen, and insists she can't just leave the show.
07:56Jules, feeling frustrated, accuses him of only caring about the show, and then walks
08:00away.
08:01When Annie comes out, Wolf asks her where she was last night.
08:04Ben checks the footage and says she was asleep just before the possession.
08:08Annie, confused, asks what he is talking about, to which they show her the recording and ask
08:14if she slept through the whole thing.
08:16Ian comes out and says he needs to speak with Jules, but Maddie informs him that she went
08:22out for a bit.
08:23Meanwhile, Martha comes out of her room and notices a ghostly girl's reflection in a
08:28mirror.
08:29Scared, she approaches the mirror, but suddenly the ghost appears right in front of her, causing
08:34her to wake up from her sleep, screaming.
08:37Ian rushes to her and tries to calm her down, telling her it was just a dream and urging
08:42her to go back to sleep.
08:44Meanwhile, Jules visits a bar for a drink and tells the bartender she's doing an investigation
08:49at the Benchley house, to which the bartender tells her that everyone who has ever lived
08:54in that house has suddenly moved out.
08:57Maddie and Annie set out to look for Jules, and Annie comments that he must love Jules
09:03to which Maddie responds that he and Jules are just two people who happen to need each
09:07other at the right moment, and that moment got picked up and renewed for a second season.
09:12Jules asks the bartender what he knows about the house, to which he tells her that it was
09:17built by a local businessman as a holiday retreat, but one day he just disappeared and
09:23since then the house has been passing from owner to owner.
09:26She asks if he knows anything about the last owners, to which he says it was an Australian
09:32couple and rumor has it that the wife suffered a mysterious and terrible injury, causing
09:37them to move out after just a few months.
09:40He adds that something terrible has happened to all the owners wives.
09:45He tells her that maybe if she goes back to the house, she will be able to see the truth
09:49and warns her that her friends are in grave danger if she doesn't.
09:54Suddenly Jules realizes that the bar is a ruin and the bar owner comes over, asking
10:00what she is doing there.
10:01Jules notices a photo of the bartender and asks who it is, to which the bar owner explains
10:07that he used to own the place, but died years ago from sorrow after his pregnant wife disappeared.
10:14Meanwhile while Ben and Wolf are checking the recordings, they hear the sound of a crying
10:19baby in the video.
10:20Ben tries to isolate the sound, and just then the camera in the upper bedroom malfunctions.
10:26Ben goes to fix the camera and we see a ghostly figure pass by.
10:30He is shocked to find the camera is broken and hears the baby crying from behind a wall.
10:36Perplexed, he breaks through the wall with an axe and discovers a hidden part of the
10:40house.
10:41He enters a bathroom there, only to be attacked by a ghost.
10:45Jules returns and notices someone watching her from the window, and meanwhile, Wolf rushes
10:50to find Ben, hearing his screams, and when Jules arrives, they are shocked to see Ben
10:56shaking violently.
10:58Martha and Ian also arrive, and Martha identifies Ben as the man from her dreams.
11:03Suddenly, Ben levitates in the air, shocking everyone.
11:07He turns towards Jules and growls, causing Martha to become terrified.
11:11Ben then accuses Jules, saying they know she killed her sister and that she suffers greatly.
11:17Martha continues to pray, and Ben utters something in a foreign language before collapsing.
11:22Later, Wolf confronts Jules, asking why she didn't help his brother.
11:27She explains that Ben was possessed, to which Wolf counters, saying that whoever possessed
11:32Ben seems to know a lot about her.
11:35He asks if she doesn't want to stop it or if she's scared because it knows about her.
11:39He then bluntly asks if she killed her sister, which makes Jules furious, but Wolf overpowers
11:45her and demands that she help his brother.
11:48Jules steps outside to take her pill, but accidentally drops the bottle.
11:52When she bends down to pick it up, she notices Maddie and Annie kissing.
11:56Maddie sees that Jules has spotted them, and he rushes over to explain, saying she kissed
12:01him and he kissed her back.
12:03Maddie adds, when you don't take care of something, it dies.
12:07No matter what he does and how hard he tries, he is not good enough for her.
12:11He says he can't understand what's going on with her because she won't let him in.
12:15Jules, feeling hurt, says she was trying to protect him and then leaves.
12:20Years later, Martha approaches Jules, who shares her past that when she was a kid, she
12:25used to see them, talk to them, and call them, and they would come, but no one believed her
12:31except her sister Sarah.
12:33One day, they called up the soul of a boy who had died.
12:36Sarah had a crush on him for the longest time, but when he came, he didn't want to leave.
12:42He was angry and he ate Sarah's soul, making her watch.
12:46Ever since that day, she swore she'd never contact another spirit.
12:50She tried shutting it out altogether, tried everything, and then one day, it just stopped.
12:56Martha says she has seen on TV that she can sense them, to which Jules responds, that
13:01part never goes away, but the point is that she stopped contacting them, and they stopped
13:06talking to her, and she can't go through that again, so she can't help her.
13:10Martha pleads, at least help my baby, and reveals that the doctor confirmed her pregnancy.
13:16Jules asks how far along she is, and Martha tells her she's 3 months pregnant and that
13:22Ayan doesn't know.
13:23She made the doctor swear not to tell him because Ayan doesn't want kids, and despite
13:28everything that's happened, the baby is still alive.
13:32Later, Annie examines the symbols and says they resemble good luck charms, like the ones
13:37the monk made in the temple.
13:39Wolf comments that he thought those charms were for protection.
13:42Jules enters the secret room of the house, and Wolf tells her that Ben picked up the
13:47sound of a crying kid before he went up there.
13:50Jules finds a lot of toys in there, and comments maybe there was more than one child here.
13:55She then opens a drawer and finds numerous packets of uneaten candy inside, dated 1972,
14:01and Ayan remarks that the house was built in 1970.
14:04She opens another drawer, which is also filled with candy packets.
14:08Wolf asks if she's picking up anything, but she says she isn't.
14:12Suddenly, the lights go out and she is dragged away, causing Martha to panic.
14:17As they try to contact Jules, someone pulls Martha away as well.
14:21It turns out that Ben has pulled Martha and dragged her to the bedroom, where he attacks
14:26her with a cross, yelling,
14:28Why can't she be quiet?
14:30Ayan rushes to find Martha, while the others look for Jules, and as Ayan finds Martha,
14:35he gets pulled out of the room.
14:37Jules wakes up, terrified to find her hands nailed to a wall.
14:41She calls out for Maddie, who desperately tries to break open the door, but meanwhile,
14:46the door to Martha's room suddenly opens, and when they rush inside, they find her unconscious
14:51on the floor.
14:53Jules manages to free herself from the wall, and meanwhile, Wolf finds Ben, but suddenly
14:58Ben attacks him.
14:59Hearing Wolf's screams, Maddie rushes to help, only to find Wolf sitting in a chair,
15:05terrified.
15:06Jules approaches him and asks where Ben is, but to his shock, he notices Wolf's teeth
15:10on a plate.
15:11Maddie asks, What happened?
15:13To which Wolf replies, Ben made him suck the crucifix.
15:17Suddenly Ben appears and violently throws Maddie against a wall, causing him to faint.
15:22Ben then jumps on Annie.
15:24Jules demands that he leave Annie alone, but Ben snarls, I'll rip her soul, and as Jules
15:30attempts to attack him, he throws her aside.
15:34Ben then rips Annie's top, claiming, This is my home, however he becomes terrified upon
15:39seeing the tattoo on her back, and as he touches it, he is thrown back with force, causing
15:45him to lose consciousness.
15:47After this, they tie Ben to a chair, and Annie tells Jules that in her hometown, those tattoos
15:53were a custom for protection, and everyone had one.
15:56When it was her turn, she begged a monk to let her go because it hurt so much, and she
16:01fainted more than once.
16:03She was only 9 and never believed it worked until now.
16:06Jules says that's why she slept through the first night because they can't touch her.
16:10Maddie asks Jules, What's next?
16:13To which she says, Go get the car keys because he and Annie are going to find her backup.
16:18That evening, Maddie and Annie return with the monk, who sees Jules and remarks that
16:22she has chosen compassion, to which she replies that she had to because her abilities returned.
16:28The monk says he gave them back to her and points to her locket.
16:32That night, they perform an exorcism on Ben, and the monk instructs them not to let go
16:37of the string.
16:38The monk begins chanting in a foreign language, and Jules commands the entity to show itself.
16:43After a while, suddenly, the wind starts to blow, and Ben begins to shake violently.
16:49He then growls and levitates in the air, causing everyone to become a bit frightened.
16:54Ben starts laughing, and Jules tells everyone not to look at him.
16:58Ian then asks Wolf if he remembers last night, and Jules tells Wolf that he is not his brother.
17:04Ben accuses Wolf of knowing about their mother's actions, and just standing by and watching.
17:09He asks Wolf if he enjoyed watching their mother do all those filthy things to him.
17:14Ben then asks Ian if he knows what he did to his wife last night.
17:17He turns to Jules and says, I'm here, do you want to talk?
17:22He mentions that there was no one else in the house, but just then, Martha becomes possessed
17:27and tries to attack Ben, and Wolf notices a group of spirits behind Martha.
17:32The monk senses the anger from the spirit within her, and Jules explains that the spirits
17:37inside Martha are trying to escape the spirits within Ben.
17:41Wolf asks, who is inside Ben, and the spirits respond, the one who killed them.
17:46Ben roars and Martha screams in response, and after a while, Martha collapses.
17:52Ian tries to calm Martha down and bring her to her senses, but she gets dragged into the
17:57basement.
17:58They all rush after her and find her scratching a wall with her nails, and Jules warns Ian
18:03not to touch her.
18:04The spirit asks, why won't she see, and then bangs Martha's head on the wall.
18:09Ian and Maddie restrain her and make her lie on the floor, and Ian pleads with Jules to
18:14help her.
18:15The spirit screams, why won't she see?
18:18Jules examines the wall Martha was scratching and tells them something is behind it.
18:23They break through the wall and discover another room behind it, and as they inspect the area,
18:29they find a projector.
18:30When Maddie plays the video, it shows an old man ripping open the stomach of a pregnant
18:35woman, pulling out her fetus and storing it among many others.
18:39They are all shocked by the gruesome sight, and Jules notices that the fetuses are no
18:43longer in the room.
18:45A stunned Maddie asks, what was that?
18:48To which the monk explains that it is Kumon Thong, the spirit of dead children taken from
18:52their mothers before birth to protect and empower their master, and in Martha are the
18:58spirits of dead women whose children were stolen.
19:01Jules asks if the master is inside Ben, to which the monk replies that the Kumon Thong
19:06protect their master and his house, even after the master is long gone.
19:10Jules says this is why she couldn't sense anything, because they were protecting him.
19:15The monk adds that the master is now seeking a new victim, a new child to join his ranks.
19:21Ayan says, none of this makes sense, as Martha isn't pregnant, but then he realizes that
19:26she actually is pregnant.
19:28Jules then breaks through the wall where Martha had been banging her head earlier, and as
19:32she does, the spirit of the master tries to stop her.
19:36However, behind the wall, Jules discovers the fetuses that had been stored there.
19:41She and Maddy then go out and they start digging at the spot where Ayan used to reach
19:45while sleepwalking, and while they are doing this, Wolf sees the spirits of those women
19:50standing behind them.
19:52After a while, they find a skull there, and as they take it out, master's spirit gets
19:57furious.
19:58They bring the skull inside, and Jules asks the master if he killed those women to steal
20:03their babies, to which the master responds by saying that she doesn't know who she's
20:09messing with.
20:10The monk continues the ritual, stating that the cumen thongs have been buried together
20:15with their mothers, so now they can finish what they started.
20:18He begins chanting mantras, causing Ben and Martha to scream in pain.
20:23After a while, Martha falls unconscious, and the monk tells Ayan that she is free now.
20:28Ayan rushes to her, trying to bring her to her senses, and meanwhile, Wolf rushes to
20:34Ben, who has also regained consciousness.
20:37Maddy and Wolf freeze Ben, but suddenly, he grabs them by the neck.
20:41He then throws them aside, and lunges at the monk.
20:44And during the chaos, Jules draws a pentagram on the floor, a symbol she used to draw in
20:50her childhood.
20:51She then challenges the master's spirit, asking if he wants her.
20:55As he charges at her, she grabs his neck, which prompts him to strangle her as well.
21:00However, after a struggle, Jules manages to trap the master's spirit inside her.
21:05Upon seeing this, the monk continues chanting the mantras.
21:09The master's spirit struggles intensely to escape the pentagram, but Jules fights
21:14to keep him contained, and meanwhile, the monk succeeds in expelling the master's
21:20spirit from her body.
21:21The next day, Martha thanks them for everything, and Ayan says they will name their child Jules
21:26if it's a girl.
21:28Before they leave, Maddy asks Jules where the monk is.
21:31Jules goes to get him, but is shocked when the monk accuses her of killing her sister.
21:36And in a flashback, it's revealed that Jules was possessed that day and killed her sister.
21:41The monk says it has happened again, and now she has killed everyone.
21:46He then begins eating a fetus, and it is revealed that while she was possessed, Jules killed
21:51everyone present except Annie, due to her tattoo.
21:55The master's spirit appears, and Martha is shown nailed to a wall with her stomach
22:00ripped open.
22:01The master confronts Jules, saying they are going to have so much fun together.
22:06He then reveals his demonic face, and the movie ends.
