Original subtitles

- I've never met anyone like you.

You have zero boundaries.

Look, Maddie, it's not an attack on you.

The point is this just isn't a good living arrangement

for us anymore.

Maybe you'd be better off finding a studio place,

just somewhere you can like clear your head,

figure some things out.

This doesn't need to be a negative thing, you know?

I think being alone for a little could really be good

for someone like you.

- We need you out by the end of the month.

- Hey. Yeah. I, I know, it's been a while.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry. That's, that's terrible.

Tomorrow? I'm, I'm actually not gonna be here tomorrow.

I'm going on a trip with some friends.

Oh, Maddie, it's, it's gonna be a pretty rough one.

Of course.

Yeah, yeah. Of course you can.

- Dr. Moranda, can you explain quickly

exactly what is The Barren Cabin?

- Sure, The Barren Cabin

is analogous to say Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster,

only in this case, we're not talking about a creature,

we're talking about a place

- Last call for gummy worms - Was presumed to exist...

- You ate that entire bag already?

- Truly documented... - Hey, Gemma.

You told your friend to bring her own food, right?

- Be nice, Alice. I brought extra.

- You sure she'll be able to keep up?

- Yeah, yeah. She'll, she'll be fine.

- For four days in the freezing cold with no service?

Yeah.

- Ah, the cabin gets its name

from its location, purported to be

in the desolate Canadian Barren Lands.

- Hey, hope you weren't waiting too long.

- It's fine. Hi.

- Hey, I am Laura. - Alice.

- Talia.

- I'm Madison. Hi.

- Come on in.

Here. - Thanks.

- So how are you? How was the bus?

- So, it was great.

It's so good to see you again.

- You too. - Now, listen to this one.

"The exact location of The Barren House remains unknown,

but according to the police reports, the coordinates used

by the missing persons were all the same."

- Ooh. - Wooing.

- The owners of The Barren Cabin,

the Blackwell family, Jacob, Mary, and their two children.

The father, Jacob, goes into town

to sell his fur once a month.

Then one month, doesn't show up. What happened?

- They, ah, unfortunately find

the entire family, ah, dead save for Mary,

who is horribly mutilated and deranged.

Ah, before authorities could even be called to the scene,

the cabin is set ablaze.

To this day, ah, that is the last known sighting

of The Barren Cabin.

- Um, I should mention that part of the reason

that we're covering this, ah, YouTuber and friend of ours

named Jake Levinson, actually was covering the topic

on his channel and actually went looking for it.

Um, and unfortunately after leaving,

has been missing for now the past three months.

There have been over 40 missing cases in that general area

over the past 20 years.

Can you explain at all why so many people

have gone missing in that general region?

- As for, ah, Jake Levinson,

ah, my heart goes out to his family,

and we, ah, all pray for his safe return.

Wish I could explain, ah, with any degree of certainty,

but, ah, The Barren Lands are an incredibly desolate area,

and I can imagine it would be very easy for someone

to get turned around, ah, while exploring.

- I really think it's a magnetic thing,

like what people say about the Bermuda Triangle.

Somewhere where a compass points to true north

instead of magnetic north.

I mean, the missing hikers could've just gotten lost.

- I don't know, I feel like if it was that simple,

one of the hikers would've made it back.

There was the wormhole theory, my personal favorite.

- Hanging in there?

- I don't know, I feel like it has to be

something a little more sinister.

- That's because you watch scary shit all the time.

- I'm serious.

Oof, cramps? I got ya.

- Thanks. Be right back.

- How you holding up?

- Dying.

- I'm really sorry about what happened.

- It's just that it was so outta nowhere, you know?

Like, "Hey, by the way,

we hated you this whole time, get out."

- That's horrible.

- Just don't know why this same pattern keeps

just repeating with me, you know?

God, I have the worst instincts picking friends.

I'm still here.

- I know. I really appreciate you letting me stay with you.

- Yeah, of course, you just need to get back on your feet,

and I'm sure it won't take long.

But not that I'm rushing you.

- Glad we're hanging out again. Really missed you.

- Just been so busy.

- Guys!

- What the hell?

- Don't touch it.

- What do you think it means?

- Maybe some kind of ritual.

- For what?

- Maybe we should head back.

- What?

- Well, well, it's just, this is weird.

- The whole point of the trip is weird.

- Yeah, but this seems like kind of a warning.

I mean, Gemma.

Seriously?

- Hold up.

- And I think we're here.

- Don't tell me we came all this way for nothing.

- So if Barren House was that easy to locate,

someone would've found it years ago.

- They did and then they disappeared.

So much for your magnetic theory.

- Are you sure we followed the coordinates exactly?

- Look for yourself.

- All right, well, well, we got where we wanted to go.

Can we head back?

- No, we're not giving up this easily, okay?

I say we keep looking around.

- I agree. The coordinates might not be exact.

I think we should set up camp and then look in the morning.

- Hey, hey.

Gemma, Gemma. Alice is gone.

I woke up and she was gone.

- What's happening?

- Gemma!

Alice!

- Alice.

- Alice!

Alice! Hello?

- Gemma!

Hello?

Alice!

Alice, what is it?

I don't know where, where they...

Hello?

Maddie?

- Huh?

Uh!

Ah!

Hello?

Gemma!

- Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Oh.

- Talia?

- Hey.

I tried to get you up off the floor, but you were out hard.

- You're alive.

- I am.

Hey, let's take a look at that.

- Alice, she wouldn't stop screaming,

and I don't, her bones were...

- You did all you could.

- Were you close?

- I only really knew them through Gemma.

- Do you think she's okay?

Maybe she'll find help, come back for us.

- Yeah, if they can find us.

- Have you ever seen a storm like that?

- No.

Nothing like that.

This is gonna sting.

- Thanks.

- Yeah. Of course.

You're not gonna make it far on that leg.

And after that storm, I have no idea where we are.

- Barren House.

- Right? But it's not where we thought it was.

This is solar powered.

Too bad there's no service for about a hundred miles.

Oh, God.

- What?

Is it bad?

There's no food.

- I noticed.

- Talia, there's something really wrong here.

I mean, do you feel it?

- You mean the fact that this place vanished for 50 years?

Um, that's just bullshit.

You know that, right? - No, no.

We, we shouldn't be here.

- Ah, do you have somewhere else in mind?

- Listen to me. I, I don't think we're safe here.

- Why? What'd you see?

Madison,

please don't go crazy on me.

We need to keep it together. Okay?

Just until somebody finds us.

This cabin is just that, a cabin.

Can't hurt us.

- Don't leave.

- Okay.

- What's that for?

- Keep track of the days.

Oh, I, ah, I found some soap under the sink.

Okay. I'll give you some privacy.

I'm gonna go do the clothes in the sink.

- Thanks. - Mm.

I tried to tell them that...

I have no idea. Because.

We haven't been able to find anybody yet,

and we have no idea where we are,

but we're alive.

We have water.

- Talia, who are you talking to?

- It's stupid, I just, I just thought

maybe it would help to keep a record of things.

- Talia? - Oh!

- Talia!

You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.

- Wh-Why were you crying?

- I wasn't.

All yours.

- Hi, my name's Madison Hughes.

It's been six days since the storm.

Nobody's come for us yet.

Obviously, we have no idea where we are.

Whenever we've tried to find the way back,

we either get lost or we end up back at the cabin.

We did find Gemma's backpack, which has a flare gun.

Maybe someone will see us.

Probably not.

I, ah, I found this book.

It was full of these horrible, disgusting things.

It belonged to Jacob Blackwell.

That means this actually is the Barren House.

Something horrible happened in this house.

Feels like the longer I'm here, the less I understand.

That scares me.

What...?

The fuck? What the fuck?

- I, I don't remember.

I don't know. That's, that's so creepy.

I don't know why I would do that.

I, I, I must have been sleepwalking.

- That's not just normal sleepwalking.

- Maddie, I know.

What do you want me to say? I'm sorry, okay?

Why are you here?

- What are you doing

- In my house?

- Talia, are you asleep?

- In my house?

Ah. Uh.

Uh.

Oh my God. What happened?

Oh.

- It's getting pretty hard to stay hopeful.

It's been three weeks without any food.

How long can you go without eating?

I think Talia is getting sick.

I have been getting headaches.

Talia says it's the head injury.

My leg is getting worse.

It's getting harder and harder to walk.

Talia?

- Hey, you're up.

Hey, can you get the fire started?

- Oh my God. - What?

- What fuck are you doing?

Oh, it's Alice! Jesus Christ!

- What's wrong with you?

- Why are you cutting her up?

- Madison, we've been eating her for days.

- What?

I tried to get a nice cut.

- Ooh.

- Maddie, please. Let me see.

- Uh!

- Are you okay?

Come here.

Hey, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

I know you're confused, but I'm here. Okay?

I'm here.

Shh. Shh.

Shh.

- We, we, ah, we ate her!

We couldn't find, I couldn't fucking, oh God!

Oh my God!

Without out it, I couldn't, I can't...

I just wanted my friends to like, they,

they always leave, they always leave me!

I don't know why.

Stop it! Stop it!

Talia, what are you doing?

Goes...

I don't know what to do. Um, can you, can you move it?

Ah, shit.

Phew. Okay.

Do it.

Okay.

Talia.

Stop it.

Stop it, stop it, stop it.

Come on.

Hello? - Maddie?

- Gemma, Gemma, oh my God.

You're alive. - Where are you?

I can't believe this. Where are you?

- Barren Cabin. Gemma, I, I have no idea how we got here.

I, I don't know where we are, but please,

you have to come get us.

- I'm, I'm actually not gonna be here tomorrow.

I'm going on a trip with some friends.

Please, things are so fucked here.

Talia's going crazy.

- I'm, I'm, I'm actually not gonna be here tomorrow.

I'm going on a trip with some friends.

Oh, Maddie, it's, it's gonna be a pretty rough one.

Um, I'm actually not gonna be here tomorrow.

I'm going on a trip...

Talia, why is the door locked?

Open the door!

Talia?

Jesus Christ.

- He's dead.

- What?

- They beat him to a pulp.

They nailed him to a cross.

The crows pecked at his flesh,

and we laughed and laughed and laughed.

- What the are you talking about?

Oh.

Oh, my...

Oh, Talia, please stop it.

- They came, but they didn't listen.

He saw enlightenment through my agony,

through our children's.

When they saw what he'd done,

they burned it all down, the house,

even the children.

But guess what?

We're still here.

And they will pay.

Oh,

will they pay.

You will all feel the pain that we felt.

She warned you not to come.

- Please stop, stop.

- It's all your fault, you stupid bitch!

- Oh God.

Talia, what's going on?

- It's for your own good, Maddie.

That leg needs help.

- Talia, let me go.

- Just keep still.

Talia.

Talia.

No. What are you, what are you...

Oh, what the fuck?

What are you doing?

Oh my God! No, Talia, please, please, please, don't!

No, Talia. What the fuck?

Stop, don't, stop, God!

- Almost done.

- Fuck!

Oh my God!

Fucking!

- Almost done.

See, that wasn't so bad.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I know you wouldn't leave me.

What the fuck?

Another for me.

- Why are you doing this to me?

- You want me to take it easier?

- You put needles in my fucking leg.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- I thought you were my friend.

- I mean, I thought you liked me.

- I do. We are.

- Then why are you hurting me?

- Gemma was right about you.

- What? - It's never enough.

- What the hell are you talking about?

You're just this lady, spineless little worm.

No matter how much someone does for you,

no matter how much time they spend with you,

no matter how hard they try to fix your putrid,

nasty fucking wound,

you are never satisfied.

Selfish. Selfish, little worm!

You're a fucking virus!

Fucking virus.

- I was able to piece together some of the book.

Clearly Jacob and Mary were into the occult.

It seems like he was forcing her to mutilate herself.

Really stark, brutal rituals.

That's all I can figure out so far.

Come on.

- Hi, Maddie.

It's your leg, Maddie.

- No.

- It's too far gone.

- Kill me now?

- Stay still.

Do you want to die,

because that's what will happen if you keep on...

Help!

- Okay. We're coming in.

- Oh thank God! Thank fucking God you're here.

- Hey, hey, hey. Just, just calm down, okay?

- No, please. She's still here!

- Who's still here? - There's another girl here.

She's out of her mind. She's trying to fucking kill me!

- Just stay calm. Yeah?

- Right, check it out.

Oh no, hey, hey, hey, hey, no.

If you're hurt, just, just, just stay cool. Just stay calm.

Okay? It's all right.

Okay? Stay still.

Hey, Frank. Everything okay up there?

Frank?

- Yeah, we're all clear.

- Okay, okay. All right, ah-

- Wait, no, no. She's still here.

- All right, okay, okay. No problem.

All right. Is there another exit?

- I don't, um, there's, there's, there's something else.

- Okay, well, ah, well, which way do you think that she...

- Ah, oh God!

- What the hell?

- Frank! Ah!

Shit! My shoulder!

Where is she?

He needs help!

Please, help him!

Get him help! I can't fucking move!

Ah! Ah!

Oh, God!

Did the, did the ax

pierce his lungs? - I don't...

How would I know? - Okay, okay.

Check his breathing. - Okay.

- How's it sound?

- Raspy.

- Okay. Okay, listen.

I need you to listen to me. Okay?

You're gonna have to do something.

- She's still here.

- Look, it doesn't matter! We don't have time for that!

Like right now, his lungs are filling with blood.

- Oh God. - He's slowly suffocating.

Ah!

You're gonna have to do a tracheotomy.

- What? No, no, no, no.

I can't do that. I can't do that.

- Well, you have to! Listen, okay?

First, you're gonna have to make a small incision. Okay?

- Okay.

Well, with what? - No, no, wait.

- Okay.

- Okay. Here's what you gotta do.

You gotta find the cricothyroid membrane. All right?

Put your hand on his Adam apple.

You got it? Okay.

Now take your finger and slide it down.

Do, do you feel another bulge?

- Ah.

- Do you feel another bulge? - Ah, I think so.

I think so. - There should be a slight

indent between that and the Adam's apple.

That's where you need to cut.

Oh.

I, I think, I think I got it. I got it.

- All right. Good, good, good, good.

Now make, make a half-inch horizontal cut.

About a half-inch deep. You understand?

- Huh, okay.

Okay.

All right, yeah, you got it, you got it.

You can do it. I'm ready.

Oh.

- Okay, now do you see a yellowish membrane?

- I don't, I can't really see anything.

- Oh, okay. All right, all right, that's okay.

Now just, you're gonna have to make the cut

a little bit bigger, okay?

All right. Just enough so you can see it.

- Okay. - Ready?

- Ready.

I, I think I see it.

- All right, now you will take that knife

and cut right into that membrane, right into it.

- Yellow stuff, the...? - Yeah, that's it.

- Okay.

- Almost ready?

Deeper! - It's all the way in!

- Jesus Christ!

Okay, okay. Just forget about it.

Just, just, just remove the knife.

All right, stay there.

All right. - Uh.

Okay, okay. Wait a minute, here.

This is what you're gonna have to do.

Uh! Ah!

Take that.

Now, you're gonna have to, you're gonna have

to broaden the airways.

Now take your fingers and just pull to make it wider.

Okay? - Oh, oh.

Shouldn't I wash my hands?

- No, no! There's no time for that!

Okay? Come on, we're losing, he's suffocating!

Come on! - Okay.

- That right. Do it, do it, do it.

Put your hands there.

All right. Now keep your fingers in there.

Now grab the tube with your mouth.

Goddammit, use your tongue! - I'm trying!

- All right, now press that tube in there,

just like a straw into that wound.

Press it into the wound like a straw.

- What?

- There you go.

Good, good, good. Okay, now suck.

This feels wrong!

- You're removing blood from his lungs. Okay?

So that he can breathe! Pick up that fucking pen, let's go!

- Oh! Okay, I'll do it.

Okay.

Come on, come on.

Get in there. - Ah!

- That's it, that's it.

Here we go. Hey, baby, suck and spit.

- Ah! - Suck and spit.

That's right, good.

- That's good, Maddie.

That's very good. That's real good.

- Oh, no, no. We're not done yet.

Uh-uh. Not yet.

- Hey, Frank.

416, we just found a female, young adult unconscious

just off the Northwest Trail.

- 10-4. Copy that, I'm gonna send someone, over.

- 216, okay? - 2124 here.

Ah, we miscalculated, we might need another vehicle.

Can send him over, patrol?

- Do you need, ah, an arresting team? Over.

- Copy that. We have to change over to channel two.

- Station, there's a rescue flare in the air

about six miles east.

- Hey, we're coming in.

- Hello?

Hello?

- Gemma?

- Maddie?

Maddie, it's me.

- Gemma! Gemma, oh my God!

- Maddie.

Ah, Maddie, the door's locked. Ah, open up.

- I don't, I'm scared.

- Okay. It, it, it's okay.

Just, just open the door.

- How do I know it's you?

- What do you mean?

- I don't, I don't even know

what's real anymore.

Talia went crazy. She killed them.

She tried to kill me! - What?

Maddie, Maddie, open the door.

- How do I know it's really you?

Gemma! - Um...

We've, um, we've known each other since the first grade.

We grew up on the same street.

Your, your favorite color is blue.

You, um, you hate gym class.

We skipped it in eighth grade and got detention

and your mom was furious, remember?

Maddie,

look, I know I distanced myself from you

a little bit and, and I'm sorry.

I just, sometimes I need a little space, you know?

And I'm not very good at setting boundaries. I just...

Maddie, I'm sorry.

But I'm here now and I, I promise,

I'm, I'm not gonna leave you again.

Okay? Please, just, just open the door.

Maddie.

- It's really you.

- Oh, my...

What...?

Um, okay, it's gonna, it's gonna be okay.

Oh my God.

- And Mary was a witch, Gemma.

Her husband tortured her.

And he killed the children.

And then the townspeople, they blamed her.

They tried to burn the place down.

- Oh, Maddie, Maddie, please calm down.

- She cursed the cabin to keep it for her,

to make, to make us feel the pain that she felt!

The Barren House will never die.

She lives under the floor.

- Maddie, Maddie, you're gonna be okay. Okay?

- Yeah. My leg, yeah.

We've just been using soap and water to clean it.

- Wait. We?

- Talia, Talia sewed it, but it's infected.

So, it's been getting worse every week.

And she said we might have to amputate it.

- Wait. What are you talking about?

It's been two days.

- What? - Who's Talia?

- What do you...?

Okay, come on. Come on.

It's been months. Look.

Go ahead.

Oh!

- We're still here

You will all feel

the pain that we felt.

We'll rampage.

- Hi, I'm Laura. - Alice.

- Maddie.

- Get out of my fucking head!

- Maddie, it's me.

- Gemma? - Yeah.

Now put the ax down.

- You left me. - No, no, no, no.

- You did. - No.

- It's, it's your fault that I'm here.

I said that we should go back.

You don't listen to me. You never listen.

- Maddie, calm down. - You abandoned me.

You're just like all the others.

I mean, I, I needed you and you left me all alone.

I'm always alone.

This is all your fucking fault!

Uh!

- Maddie?

Maddie.

- "Don't leave me here."
