The Curse

You!

Do you believe in the supernatural?

Or are you one of those people who...

Who seek to play!

And defy the unknown!

Juvenal de Souza

He fell into that last category of people.

His horrifying story.

It will be told in the following scenes.

And let it stand as a warning

to all the reckless!

Juvenal...

Calm down.

Are you all right?

I had the same nightmare again last night.

The one with the witch?

What witch? Come on!

Calm down, calm down.

I'll get you something to calm down.

I'll be right back, alright?

I'll be back in a minute, okay?

Bye.

What's happening to you?

It's me, Marina.

- Take this, my love. - Thank you.

It was that old woman again.

Let's get help from a doctor.

I'm fine.

It's not necessary. It was only a nightmare.

Are you already mistaking me for the witch?

No, of course not, my love.

You know that I love you, don't you?

Let's see a doctor tomorrow, Juvenal.

Sure, sweetheart.

Well, doctor.

Everything started on the Good Friday holiday.

Marina and I had nothing to do.

And we decided to go for a drive.

- Let's take some pictures? - Sure.

Great.

This one is really good.

Excellent.

I love being your model.

Let's find a better spot?

How about we go over there? Near that hut.

- What do you think? - Sure, that works.

Hey, sir, I really shouldn't say anything,

but if I were you, I wouldn't go there.

I feel like it. Why shouldn't I?

An old witch lives there. She hates visitors.

Whoever goes there, she puts a curse on them.

What nonsense is this, man?

Stop it.

I'm just taking pictures.

And that's exactly what I'd do in your place.

I just wanted to warn you.

Alright.

But don't worry, I don't believe in such nonsense.

Alright. You know best, sir.

Look, Marina, doesn't she look like a witch with that crazy hair?

Wow, it got dark. Looks like rain is coming.

Yeah, looks like a big storm is coming.

Hold on, Marina, just a moment.

- Let's leave, Juvenal. - It'll be a great shot, hold on.

Whoa!

What are you doing trespassing on my land?

Easy, grandma.

I'm just taking a picture.

Why don't you take your jokes about my wrinkles to hell?

Juvenal, let's go. Come on, Juvenal.

Relax. She's just a crazy old woman.

You'll see what this old woman is capable of.

Your flesh will rot with cancer,

they will crumble to pieces and burn like embers.

I'm almost done, grandma.

A masterpiece that will last a lifetime.

You're not the first arrogant fool I've seen.

You won't be the last, but beware, you may regret this.

Many have doubted me, and now they're gone forever.

To stand by their blasphemies.

- Stop, honey! - Crazy old lady.

Do you really think we believe in that stuff?

I couldn't care less about that.

Damn you! Damn you!

You'll regret crossing me.

May hellfire burn your insides.

With those expressions, grandma, I'll win the photo award.

May your life be ended by the worms.

That's weird.

Marina.

Huh?

Look at this.

Not a single photo of the old woman came out.

That's true.

I don't know how this could have happened.

It was that witch, that damn old woman.

Easy, darling, don't get upset.

After what happened, he can't sleep at night.

I'll prescribe you some medication, Juvenal.

Well...

What happened is purely psychological.

With rest, everything will improve.

Now I'll get better.

- Thank you, doctor. - Farewell.

- Thanks, doctor. - Have a good day.

But that nervous treatment

would've been useless, Juvenal.

Simply because

Juvenal wasn't suffering from nerves.

What's happening?

I'm the boss, understand, Miss Carmen?

My orders must be obeyed.

But nobody is saying otherwise, Mr. Juvenal.

I came only to request a confirmation.

What? Talk.

No, that's fine.

If the order isn't delivered by tomorrow morning,

Consider yourself dismissed!

I don't know what's wrong with you.

Lately, Juvenal, everyone has been saying

you're very irritable.

Then fire me.

The problem is if they're unhappy, the company suffers.

So what? What do you expect me to do?

Why don't you go on vacation?

Yeah, I suppose so.

I've been kind of tired lately.

Then it's settled, Juvenal.

Go home and get some rest.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Mr. Juvenal, what happened?

Is everything okay?

How arrogant, huh?

What a strange thing, huh?

That man is impossible.

Best of luck.

Could a simple event,

an ordinary incident.

Completely change someone's life,

To the point that even a

psychiatrist can't fix it?

That was what was happening to Juvenal.

First, there were the nightmares,

then his awful rage.

He lived in a constant state of tension.

He had a genuine dread of nightmares.

Juvenal!

That cursed old woman won't leave me alone.

Look, I know you don't believe.

But I have a very bad feeling about this.

And I want to take you to a place of worship.

Here, this will make you feel better.

Look, darling.

I've been thinking about your idea of seeing the pai de santo.

I think it might help.

I think so as well.

Holy Father, blessed Father, come, through the Holy Spirit.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.

On Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Place your life in my father's hands, raise your hand.

Trust me, my father, with your life. Raise your hand.

Amen.

You may speak, my daughter.

My father, we are facing a great problem.

I don't know what's happening to me.

I can no longer sleep.

We're going to do a ritual to help you.

It's because of a crazy old woman who put a curse on me.

An old woman's curse got to you. What needs to be done?

We need to perform a ritual at the crossroads.

First, we need to undo this magic and relieve you.

Come to me, come to me, come.

You must remove your shoes.

Do I have to remove my socks too?

No, just the shoes.

Feel the energy, the work is becoming more powerful.

Concentrate.

There.

You fool, do you really think this is going to solve anything?

Because you will never be free from my curse!

Never! Never! Never! Never!

This curse will never leave!

Get out of here! You witch!

Leave me alone! Get out of here!

Juvenal!

What's this?

What's wrong, Juvenal? It's me, Marina.

Come on, get up.

Come on, Juvenal.

Come on, honey, let's go.

It wasn't like the old days.

Everything had become a burden too heavy to bear.

I'm afraid something terrible might happen.

Something awful.

That's what concerns me.

I'd give anything to end this curse and get our lives back.

You're tired. You should get some sleep.

How can I possibly sleep?

As soon as I close my eyes, I see that damn old lady.

Maybe it really is that simple.

What if we go find the old lady and apologize?

That might actually be a good idea.

When?

It's a dreadful night.

If it was part of her plan to drive me insane.

I have to admit, she has talent.

I can't believe it.

You were just highly susceptible to her words.

Marina.

We forgot something.

The photographs.

Oh, darling, let's go inside and you'll see all will be well.

My God, it's not possible.

Marina, she's staring at me.

Stay calm, Juvenal.

She's dead.

You idiot, you came back.

Because I chose to.

I wanted you to hear the end of my curse.

Your flesh shall be torn apart.

And it shall burn.

Like it was on fire.

Burning within the furnaces of hell.

You're dead!

How are you going to catch me?

She keeps up with this shit.

Your ravenous flesh.

It will become living, festering wounds.

And only with raw flesh.

It will feast.

With lots

and lots of fresh flesh.

Let's go, Juvenal. You're too shaken.

The mind of Juvenal.

It had transformed even further.

From that day forward, he began to waste away.

He couldn't sleep or calm his nerves.

No matter where he went.

He heard the horrible laughter.

And the terrifying voice of the hag accusing him.

This is how you are.

Because I chose to.

Juvenal?

Open up!

It's me, Marina.

Open up, I want to talk to you.

I need to talk to you.

Open the door.

Meat... I want it...

- Give me... - Oh, that's insane!

- I want... - What is it you want?

Raw meat...

Alright, just a moment.

There, your meat is here.

And day after day...

Marina would bring him a plate of fresh meat.

Love, your meat is ready.

Juvenal, please let me in.

Why do you stay locked away?

Do you want me to call the doctor?

Are you feeling okay?

Thank you, sweetheart...

How are you feeling?

I'm not leaving here.

What is happening to you, Juvenal?

Juvenal!

I knew you couldn't take it. You shouldn't have entered.

It was the old hag's curse.

It was that bitch's curse.

It burst me open, crying out for meat.

And only after bringing me so much pain.

That the blight wants to eat too.

Oh, Juvenal, that's horrible.

I'm going to call the doctor now.

Marina.

My curse... will be complete.

You are dead!

What do you want from me?

Leave me alone.

That's right, your wife will abandon you.

And as you explode, you'll become a specter.

She is beautiful, with a long life ahead.

You're already near the end.

She vanished.

Goddamn.

That's true.

Marina is young and beautiful.

Other men will come her way.

She will leave me.

She will leave me.

She'll pay.

Hello? This is Marina.

Things here are far from okay.

He got much worse, and I'm scared.

Yes, that's right.

Alright, talk to you later.

See you soon.

Did you call your lover?

Do you want to be rid of me?

Huh?

- You're insane! - Insane?

- You are repulsed by me. - Stop, Juvenal!

Get back here!

- You whore! - Stop this!

Whore!

No! What happened, Juvenal?

No! Control yourself!

Look, Marina, it's that damn witch's curse.

I love you!

- Are you running away with your lover? - Stop!

No! No!

No, Juvenal! No!

No! Don't!

Juvenal, control yourself!

Don't do this to me. I'm begging you.

You murdered her, Juvenal.

Now what?

Damn witch, what do you want from me?

Are you not pleased?

Huh?

Yes, I killed her, but you told me to do it.

You're really sick, aren't you?

Have you considered it?

Who is going to feed you now?

Who will feed your tumor?

Are you listening?

The ambulance is almost here.

The doctor that she called.

But your end hasn't come yet, Juvenal.

Because I...

You see, I've got other plans for you.

Damn it, I'll escape, got it?

Nobody, nobody will catch me! Nobody!

They're leaving.

Your punishment is to remain in this house.

Your entrails

will turn you

into a pile of bones.

Cursed witch!

Wretched witch!

I can go now.

My curse is complete.

But you do have an alternative.

You can take Marina's body.

Look at her, the poor thing.

Her fresh and tasty flesh.

Yes, that is what I'll do.

I will feed on her flesh.

This is the sweet tale of Marina and Juvenal.
