A forest.

Now, for many of us, the forest represents different things.

It may be a magical place, a place of adventure.

It may be a place of play.

It may also be a place of fear.

A place of hungry wolves or conniving witches.

A place where children go and never return.

But it may also be a home,

a place where families are born.

Where they grow, where they prosper,

where a parent teaches its child the ways of the world,

which, of course, includes its dangers.

Because it's a parent's intuition, isn't it?

To protect no matter the cost,

'Cause sometimes, no matter how hard you try

to shield yourself and your family

from the dangers of a world,

Sometimes life has other ideas.

Because there comes a time in every life

when its world is changed forever.

For the life affected, the question then becomes,

how does it cope?

Or maybe they become angry, bitter, twisted,

hellbent on revenge.

Because what happens

if the forest fights back?

You ever shot a deer?

No. Have you?

Yeah. Once.

So you're not coming?

Do you know what, Simon? I'm gonna tell him, I am.

Because after everything you've said to him,

everything you promised, you just can't be bothered.

You wan to be pretend to be on a work trip.

You know what else? Fuck you.

Fuck you.

You're gonna be sick if you play that in the car.

Benji? Benji, come on.

Come on. Bloody thing.

Off anywhere nice, are we?

Yeah. We're visiting his dad's family.

Oh. Family's hey?

The only thing worse than your own is someone else's.

You can choose your partners,

but you can't choose your in-laws, am I right?

Mine are a nightmare.

Getting , I think is the best thing I can.

Sorry about that, love.

They've been tearing around these roads there for weeks.

But they're up to something though. You mark my words.

Something criminal.

Friend of mine, the other night,

he got driven into a ditch, he did.

Car's completely right off.

So we got off lightly, if anything.

Excuse me? Can you pull over?

-Oh, oh. Yeah, sure. -Please?

-Yeah. -He's gonna be sick.

Alright. Okay.

Go, go, go, go.

Get it up.

Get it up, get it all up. That's it.

And again.

Better? Come on, sit down for a minute, okay.

Give it a minute here.

You okay? You might wanna listen to me in the future.

Thought Dad was picking me up.

Yeah. Well, he got delayed.

What happened?

Nothing. Just a work thing.

You're getting deported, aren't you?

What?

Deported. You and dad not married anymore.

No, Benji. No, we're not getting deported.

Come on. He's gonna meet us at your grandma's.

Really?

Yeah. Yeah, so come on, get in the cab.

Benji, come on.

He's just like what my little boy used to be like.

Less than five minutes down the road

and he'd be spewing up his guts.

And then the cheeky get to blame me for it.

Hey, sucking on a sweet,

that's what used to take his mind off things.

Cheeky little bugger.

Benji.

Is everybody all right? Is everyone okay?

I think it's still out there.

Oh. Oh.

That's okay.

What's going on, Mom?

Oh, thank God.

Mom, there's something wet.

You're gonna move back. Move back behind me.

Keep your eyes closed.

Move to the front.

Move.

Bambi.

Bambi.

Benji, come on. Come on.

Bambi.

Bambi.

Trust her to make us go and wait like this.

Well, you know what the taxis are like,

especially around here.

Andrew. Kitchen roll.

Isn't Simon picking them up?

Simon? Simon's not coming.

Our brother has a work do. Apparently.

At least he had the decency to let us know.

Well, why don't you give her a call?

I would do, but I don't have any signal here, do I?

Um? Landline?

Had to have it disconnected.

Why?

Mother kept calling the police.

Your mother.

Mary?

Bambi.

Mary. Come back inside, please.

Oh. Or speak.

It's hard enough being married to your son

without you running off.

I thought I told you to watch her. Sit there.

I was.

Just don't let her out of your sight.

Well, actually, you're not my real mum.

You'll get fat, you know? If you keep eating those.

Will I?

Yeah. You'll balloon like a bouncy castle.

Bounce, bouncy, bounce.

They're here.

What was that?

Thanks, Grandma. That's not freaky at all.

Yeah, we're on our way back now.

Everything on track?

Don't worry. Trust me.

What?

I've gotta go.

Call me when.

What?

If it's really as dangerous as you claim,

surely we'd be safer inside.

Okay. Well, what about the driver?

We just left him.

Well, that's his problem.

-Harriet. No. -Well, it is.

No.

I'll go.

What? No.

I can try and get some signal. Call for help.

Andrew.

I dunno, it's up to him. Maybe it's for the best.

Ah.

Anything?

She pretty tasty, hey?

What was that?

Behind me.

Grandma?

Grandma? Grandma?

Shut up!

Harrison.

What?

Don't do that.

Why not?

Because it's mean.

She's annoying.

You're annoying.

He's dead, isn't he? The driver.

No. No, Josh was with him.

It'll be okay.

Try not to think about it, okay?

When's Dad getting here?

Soon.

He'll know what to do.

Ow. -Sorry.

Sorry.

It's creepy, isn't it?

What is it?

I don't know. She's been painting them for weeks.

Brought you some clothes.

Oh, thanks.

They're Harriet's, so.

I'll be careful.

Thank you.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

Where'd he come from?

Another crash, do you reckon?

No. No, too clean.

Staying in that motherfucking house is my guess.

What's he doing out here?

Fuck knows.

Take him back to the truck.

Wimp.

Harrison!

What?

Come here, please, darling.

Why?

Because I said so.

What are you laughing at?

Um.

Darling, so sad.

What's sad, Grandma?

I don't know why you bother. She's lost it.

She's all.

Darling, this is Simon.

Grandma?

No. Not my son.

Harrison!

What?

I said come here.

Oh, Simon.

It's Benji, Grandma.

Oh.

Grandma?

Grandma?

Mom! Mom!

Benji? Benji!

Benji.

Mom, it's back.

Move! Go, go, go.

Get back. Go Benji!

Go Benji!

Whoa! What the fuck?

What the fuck was that?

What the fuck was that?

What the fuck?

Come. Let's go.

No.

Come on, Mary.

Come on, Mary.

Mary. Go.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Wait. Where's Harriet?

Where's Harriet? Did you see her?

He's coming, Dad!

Dad!

Shut the fuck up!

Mom?

Go, go, go.

Shit. Stay there.

Come on!

Hold on, watch out. Bad shoulder.

Mom!

Mom!

Faster. Go faster!

Come on.

Fucking put your foot down.

Gear stick's stuck.

Fucking hell! Come on!

Do you think it's supposed to be the creature?

What? Was she there?

You're gonna wanna see this.

Should I?

Shh.

Fuck! Fucking fuck.

Are you not seeing what I'm seeing?

There's a tree, a massive fucking tree

in the middle of the road.

And it's all Simon's fault, insisting that we all come down

just because he didn't wanna spend a weekend alone

with his fucking kid.

And then what happened? The bastard didn't even show up.

Oh, Simon?

You're Simon.

It's Benji, Grandma.

Oh. Anyway.

Where is he? Where's Dad?

Simon,

he's out playing in the park.

He'll be home soon for his tea.

Hmm.

Can't you just do it?

No.

-Why? -Because they need my help.

Can't Grandma just do it?

No, Grandma.

Benji, I want you to do it.

For me. Please.

Oh, no.

Right. So when we're ready.

You gimme the signal to drive.

Exactly. Then?

Don't know.

-You do. -I don't.

I've just explained this to you. It's not rocket science.

I don't understand why I have to do-

'Cause I've asked you to, and I need you to. Okay?

Drive, Benji! Drive!

Dad! Dad!

Mom, I don't know what to do. Mom!

Mom, Mom. -Hold on!

Oh,.

Watch your grandma.

Andrew?

What are you?

Is he okay?

Why aren't you watching Grandma? Where is she?

Grandma? Grandma?

No, no. Shh, shh.

Okay.

She's there.

Come on.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

What the fuck do you want?

You fucking thing.

No.

Sorry.

-What's that smell? -Shh.

Stay here, okay? -But.

Benji, I mean it. Stay here.

Mary? Mary, it's me, Xana.

Mary?

Mary, it's me, Xana.

Hey, are you okay?

You gotta stay with me and Benji, Mary.

It's okay. Okay?

We're worried about you.

Death. Death.

Death. Death.

Benji? Benji, what the hell are you doing?

Mom, I just thought I saw something.

Did you not listen to a word I said?

♪ And here he comes down to the ♪

♪ You better go into the skies

Mary. Mary, shh.

There definitely was.

Run!

Come on, Mary. Come on.

, it's okay.

It's okay. Benji, run!

So there's a little boy, Harrison. He's 15.

He's on his own. We need to call the police.

I think it's best we get you back to our house.

There's satellite phone there.

And there's another guy, Josh. He's 30.

Try not to worry, love. We'll look after you.

We'll get you back, get you warm, call the police.

We'll work out what to do.

You'll be safe there. Promise.

With me.

Where?

So we gonna give the police a call now, yeah?

You okay. -Mm.

It's your father.

Jo?

Jo, is that you?

Jo?

Jo, is that you?

It's all right, Michael. It's me.

You can lower your weapon.

I thought you might have been.

Dad? Dad.

Made me drive through it.

Benji.

Shut the fuck up.

You better have a fucking good explanation.

Let's try and not swear, Xana.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Will you please stop swearing?

How do you know them? How do you know those men?

It's complicated.

Oh, it's complicated?

Yes.

Do you know what's complicated, Simon?

Your son has just seen his uncle dead on the road.

That's complicated.

Andrew?

Yes.

And Josh?

I don't know.

I did tell you, didn't I? I did tell you not to come.

Is that all you've got to say?

None of you were supposed to be here.

I wanted to look out for Benji.

I didn't wanna let Benji down.

Really? Really?

So that's the reason why you begged me

to take him this weekend.

I didn't beg you.

-"Oh, oh, please." -It's your turn.

-"Please." -You're his dad.

"Please, darling, take him off my hands."

That didn't happen.

I want you to want to spend time with him.

I want you to want a relationship with your own child.

Who told them to do it?

I did. But nothing like this has ever happened before.

You've done this before?

Willbexr have been dumping chemicals for years,

but these were evidently different.

- Oh my God- - We didn't know that they-

We need to call the police, Simon.

-No. -Yes.

-No. Don't. -Yes, you do, Simon.

-No. -People have died.

Your own family have died.

Yeah, and I'll go to prison. What will Benji think, huh?

No, think about the impact it'll have on him

having a father in prison.

I don't think it will have any impact whatsoever.

He knows exactly what it's like not to have a father around.

Xana. Xana.

Yeah.

Eddie? Eddie, are you there?

What do we do now?

Carry on as planned.

Yes, boss?

How are you getting on?

We're nearly there.

Let us know when you're ready.

Roger that.

Jesus Christ.

Sorry.

What have you fucking gone and done now?

It's heavy.

Shut up. Shut up!

Gimme the phone.

Xana.

Give me the fucking phone.

Xana.

Fucking stop.

-Simon. -Boss.

-Simon. -Fucking stop.

Simon, we need to call the police.

Hand it over.

He might not hurt you, but I will.

So fucking give it.

Now, let's calm all this down, shall we?

Less of the histrionics.

What the hell is all of this?

On a little clear-up job, aren't we, boss?

Your husband here.

Ex husband.

Needs to, how should we say it?

Cover his tracks.

Now we're laying a little trap is all.

What sort of trap?

Plan is to draw it out of the shadows.

Draw what?

The creature that attacked you.

You're bringing it here?

It's perfectly safe,

Safe? Safe?

Xana.

You knew about this.

Our son is here.

You're unbelievable.

I can't believe you. I can't fucking believe you.

We're safe here. Benji is safer here.

Nobody is safe here, Simon.

Where is Benji?

Stupid fucking thing.

You sure this is a good idea?

What do you mean?

I don't know. I mean, it's a bit cruel.

It's a fucking animal, mate. It doesn't have feelings.

I'm going for a piss.

What?

No. Can't you wait?

I'm desperate.

Fuck sake.

Mary. Mary, look at me.

Hmm?

Where's Benji? Where did he go?

Up the hill.

What hill, Mary?

-Oh, this is pointless. -Shut up.

To fetch a pail of water.

Okay. Mary, think, think.

Where is Benji?

One day he gather them up.

Chair. And bleed.

Kill, kill, kill, kill

Xana, she's lost it.

No, no, no, no, no. Mary.

Mary, look at me, look at me. It's me, I'm Xana.

And you know Benji. You know Benji, you love Benji.

Where is he? Where's Benji?

Would you like some potatoes with that?

Chop, chop, chop, chop.

-Mary. -Chop, chop, chop.

Chop.

Benji! Benji!

Xana!

Fuck. Benji!

Xana.

Shit. Benji!

Xana, come back inside.

Benji!

Xana!

Fuck sake.

Tyler.

Fuck.

You all right? Are you okay?

I'm gonna get you out here. Okay?

You're safe now.

Let's get you out of here.

Eddie, come in, Eddie. Where the fuck are they?

Will one of you fucking pick up?

Boss? Boss?

Fucking kid! I'm gonna kill him.

Fuck.

What the fuck?

Benji! Benji!

Mom?

Benji!

Mom.

Benji!

Mom, where are you?

Benji!

Mom!

Whoa! Where is he, Jo?

Jo? Jo?

Jo? Jo?

Fuck you!

There you are, you little fucking shit.

Benji!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Just gimme a fucking second, yeah?

Hand it over.

Stay still. Stay still.

Hand it over.

Hey, do it, Benji. Do it.

Hand it over.

Do what he says.

Give me the fucking phone.

Benji, give it to us!

No.

Please, Simon. Please.

This is you, this is. Turn him against me, poison him.

Mom's got nothing to do with it. Mom lied for you.

I heard what you said.

Enough!

Dad!

-Give me. -Thank you.

Fuck.

Give me the phone, Simon.

No.

Come on. It's over.

No. I won't let you, Xana.

I won't let you ruin my life.

Your life?

Mom!

Simon.

Sorry. Sorry.

Mom.

Benji.

Mom.

Listen to me. Stay very still.

When I tell you, you are gonna run as fast as you can. Okay?

I'm not leaving you. I'm not like him.

You have to.

I'm sorry, Benji.

I should have told you about your dad.

I love you so much.

I love you too.

He wants his baby.

Benji, you're gonna stay very still.

And just trust me.

It's okay. Fawn's okay.

Benji.

It's okay. It's okay.

No!

Die, you fucking son of a bitch.

Grandma? Grandma?

Grandma.

Benji. Oh, my dear Benji.
