Original subtitles

At the turn of the century, the world was fascinated by the occult.

And Russia was no exception.

Especially fashionable were so-called Spiritist salons.

Incantations became a popular pastime.

Dear Baron, I don't know what to say!

My husband looked so alive! I could even touch him!

You and your assistant are able to do incredible things.

It's just science.

It erases the boundaries of the worlds, as well as those of the distances.

I promised you that.

Then death no longer means final separation?

Off you go.

Thank you very much!

Here, your cut for today's seance.

I can't do it anymore.

I'll never do it again.

Alright, I'll pay you more, how much do you want?

I don't want money.

Listen, friend, I'm afraid...

you're not fully understanding the importance of what we're doing here.

We didn't start this...

so that grieving widows...

could communicate with their departed spouses.

The truth is, we discovered the gateway to the world of the dead.

And that's so much more important than the discovery of America, you understand?

- It was always him. - I beg your pardon?

It has never been the dead.

These were demons. God, what have I done?

We opened the gate for him. Good God, save and protect us!

Stop it!

Stop this nonsense right now!

Have mercy on sinners!

They don't understand anything.

He's still here.

Here?

Oh, him?

Then I wish to speak with him.

Sorry, I overslept.

- There's nothing going on anyway. - Ah yes.

Why didn't you go to Vasa's party? It was a lot of fun.

I couldn't make it.

Same old story.

Seriously, I really couldn't make it.

- What would you like today? - I'm not sure.

- Are you in a hurry, miss? - It's great here, right?

Yes it's okay. They have bouncers.

I'm sitting here!

My table!

- Good day! - Hello!

- Young lady? - Yes?

I would like this.

They are from Moscow!

And they're planning a mega-cool party tonight. They do it professionally or something.

Do you see the guy with the tattoo? That's Nikita, he is really hot!

We have to go to that party!

Don't look, but one of them is totally checking you out.

What about that?

I noticed.

Katya! Smile at least once!

It's just an invitation, nothing more.

How long are you going to mourn your prince charming?

It's been six months! He's not worth it!

That'll be more expensive, what do you think? It doesn't matter, as long as I have my system.

We definitely need better speakers. The ones we have aren't good enough.

Vadik has taken an interest in the service at this place.

- The brunette? - Looks nice.

Invite her.

- He's too shy. - I can hear you, you know.

How would he be able to handle her anyway? There are no buttons, no equalizers.

- Go to hell! - Relax.

- Let's help our baby. - Sure.

Revered Sasha, what are you doing after your shift ends today?

- Nothing yet. - Excellent!

Guess what! They want us to show them the coast!

What do you say? Are you in? Say yes!

Come on, it'll be fun.

Hey! Careful, watch out, watch out!

It's really cool here!

It's magical!

Look around, isn't it gorgeous?

Are you coming tonight?

- Where to? - To our party.

Or do you already have plans?

Not really, I have time.

Are you cold?

- Katya! - They're calling us.

We're coming.

Come on, kid!

Stop that, I don't want to swim!

I'm coming to get you!

Did you see the house? It's certainly old.

- And it's definitely empty. - Dream on. Forget it.

Katya! Come on, dance!

- Here, this is for you. - Thanks.

Do you like it here?

Yes, I didn't know that they hosted parties like this here.

I always thought that it was just an abandoned factory.

- They're not the organizers. - What are you saying? It's an illegal party?

That's what it's all about!

We are firmly convinced

that drinking and dancing does not require permission from any instances.

- This is such a cool party! - That's what I'm saying!

A selfie!

Come on!

How awesome are we?

This is the best party I've ever been to.

This is just the party for the masses. We save the best to ourselves.

- What are you talking about? - The best of the best!

- We don't have anything planned. - Is that what you think?

The girls are locals. Do you have something?

Uh, what do you mean?

Well, we like to visit different locations.

Special locations, without organizers.

You're not talking about breaking into a house are you?

Nothing criminal, just a place for a small house party.

We don't steal anything, we clean up afterwards. But it has to be really special.

Like the house on the beach, right?

In which you worked last summer. Sasha told us all about it.

I can't do that. Can you never shut up?

Come on!

Your mysterious prince is gone, and you know your way around the house.

I said no!

Katya, you just took us there.

And you have a problem, that should finally be solved.

How? Just by going there?

Great idea!

No, but by going there with Vadik.

One should replace negative memories with positive ones.

Katya, when will you stop tormenting yourself? Do you like Vadik?

Yes, you do.

For the first time in ages you're looking at someone again. You're smiling too, huh?

Let it happen!

This is Crimean Gothic of the very finest.

Wow!

Cool!

You can't post anything, I told you!

- Why not? - Nonsense!

Do you want us to get arrested?

- Who owns this place? - An architect.

- Must be quite rich. - No shit.

It's the lower lock. They never use the upper one.

- They? You said he lives here alone. - They died.

- His child and his wife. - Here?

No, in a car accident.

Let me quote a classic:

The beauty of rural life lies in its informality.

Brilliant!

Dirty!

A true crow castle!

Check it out!

What a great fireplace!

- Should we turn it on? - Definitely.

Excuse me!

Totally cool place.

But it's a bit too old-fashioned for my personal liking.

- And one door doesn't open. - It's probably stuck.

It's wet.

Should I blow?

There's no air going through.

Isn't there a fan heater?

Hey! Oh, excuse me, um, I'm looking for a fan heater.

- I think it's underneath the stairs. - Aha.

You know the rules. No one can hear us.

What's this?

"A study of the demonic entities".

"Nikolai Karlovic of Pit". It's this house!

For me, that's a freak show.

How amazing is that?

"All sketches in this book were made by the author

drawn by hand during his visionary revelations."

Are these real?

What did they smoke back in those days?

Good question.

Mmh, beautiful.

Well, does her majesty intend to help out?

Or does she think that we're her free maids?

You like her boyfriend, right?

You know, your fairytale castle needs renovating. There is mold everywhere.

This is the dining room here.

Yes. And the baron sat in the middle. Show me.

"Baron von Grube, a famous philologist and mystic."

"At the beginning of the 20th century this was his country house,

known as the largest Spiritist salon on the Crimean coast."

"He claimed that the devil showed him the inhabitants of hell."

Let's see.

He died in a psychiatric hospital in Berlin.

Damn it!

I almost believed it. You can have it.

Oh, what's the guy doing? Because I know.

This is Alexander Blok, dumbass.

- Nikita, Nikita. - What?

The best people summoned ghosts back then.

Let's do that too! Sure, of course! We're also the best!

Seriously? A seance?

It says here how to do it.

- Who do we want to call? - Pushkin!

- Main thing not Zoi. - No, the baron!

- Out of respect for our host. - Yes!

Exactly, a crazy host is still missing, let's do it.

Did you call me?

- Okay, we need a medium. - What?

Exactly! I want to be that.

Yes?

I call the spirit of Baron von Grube.

Alright, alright, alright! Sorry.

I call the spirit of Baron von Grube.

I call the spirit of Baron von Grube.

Baron von Grube, if you're here, give us a sign.

It must've been the shutters!

- This isn't funny anymore. - Be silent.

There's someone here.

I think you have the wrong house.

It's okay, man.

We're leaving, we're leaving. We're all leaving, go now.

We're all leaving, calmly.

- This is really embarrassing. - Get out!

We thought the house would be empty.

- We are not thieves or burglars. - Get out!

I won't call the police.

- Why not? - Nikita, leave!

No no no! Why didn't you call the police hours ago?

You have no idea.

Didn't you hear us?

How long have we been here?

- Look at him, he's totally fucked up! - Calm down.

He can hardly stand!

How do you know that he's the owner, eh?

The house is boarded up. Where is Katya?

- Get out immediately! - Alright, alright!

Can I get my stuff?

- Get out of the house! - Take it easy.

- Relax, calm down. - Out!

Nikita!

Is he alive?

I've set it to minimum.

Where was he all this time?

Do you know him?

No.

- That's what I said. - A hobo.

It's low season, so he must've broken in.

- What if he comes after us? - He won't remember anything.

- We'll lock him up somewhere. - Yes, in the basement.

- That's too harsh. - What do you suggest?

When he wakes up, he'll attacks us again.

Let's just get out of here.

- What? - We should go.

Seriously?

We organize the most romantic environment ever for you,

and you want to get away?

No, my friend, come on, go, get started. Katya is waiting!

Careful.

We can't leave him like that.

Don't forget the good night kisses.

Is he supposed to freeze to death down here?

Well, then I'll look for a blanket.

There's mold everywhere. I didn't notice that before.

Can you handle this?

Yes, I have experience with something like that.

I need the money to pay the tuition.

Here's the key to the lower lock.

The upper one is always stuck, we don't use it.

I don't use it.

Let's go upstairs.

Honestly, it's been half a year now!

You finally have to accept that and go on with your life.

Really!

Sometimes I think the house would fall apart without you.

I see you here every day.

I wake up, and everything crumbles and rots.

You should come back to Moscow.

Next time, I'll force you to come with me!

It looks like he lives here.

How can you stand it here? It's not cold.

Maybe he just pisses in the house.

I think that's cool somehow.

So we summoned a crazy person.

We've never done it in a haunted house, huh?

Boo!

Damn, are you crazy?

Here I go in again.

The cold!

"The genus of the lower demons lives in the damp gloom of hell."

"They are capable of evoking sleep and colorful visions."

"It lures the souls and feeds on human suffering."

Continue here:

"Despite her innate cowardice

attack those hellhounds who stand in their way."

Stop it!

This seems to be someone's favorite book.

- Oops! - I found in the basement.

Almost had him locked up with it.

Looks great.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Nikita!

Well, force majeure!

Klingeling!

- Are we continuing the seance now? - To hell with spirits!

- Let's party! - Yes!

I'm sorry, I thought you were done.

Not quite yet.

Did you see her?

Where?

Over there, they are watching us.

No one's there.

Andrej?

Need something, Katya?

I found this in the nursery, behind the stuffed animals.

Should I throw it away?

The mug belonged to my wife.

He must have broken it and hidden it.

I thought we could keep it.

For what?

As a reminder.

So that nobody forgets them?

I'll throw it away.

Shit. Press that down.

Press on it, very tight.

- Does it hurt a lot? - No.

Go to the kitchen, Katya, there's a first aid kit.

- Where is Katya? - What?

- Where is Katya? - I don't know.

Katya?

I was looking for you.

Did you find something?

No, nothing.

I don't like this either. Let's leave.

Katya!

Driver's license: Leonidov, Andrei Nikolayevich.

I wrote you that it's over. I don't need your help anymore.

I probably didn't receive the SMS.

Are you driving away now? It's only the beginning of August.

Yes, I'm leaving.

May I go in and charge my phone? The battery is empty.

Give it to me.

Honestly, it's charged.

I want to tell you something.

Please don't interrupt me or I can't do it.

I don't think you should live alone anymore.

You've buried your soul with them, you can't do that.

I can see it.

And if you allow me, I'd like to be with you!

Katya.

Nobody, and especially you, should be anywhere near me.

You... you don't mean that.

You don't understand, I know for sure that you need me.

I need you too. So much.

Go.

And never come back here.

Andrej? It's Katya.

Say something. I know you recognized me.

Is everything OK?

Sorry, stupid question. And I'm so sorry.

What happened here is terrible.

I... Andrej!

Andrej!

Say something!

I'm looking for something to break the lock.

- Go away! - Andrej!

Go away!

You shouldn't be here.

It's deadly here.

- Please, not again. - That's enough now!

Don't do that, don't do that.

Kiss my ass!

I don't give a damn!

Please, come with me.

- We have to open the cellar door. - Then explain this to me first.

Vadik, please, I... I messed up, I don't know why.

He's the owner?

The house was boarded up months ago.

I never thought he would still be here.

You recognized him? Yes, but something has happened.

- He was supposed to leave. - Were you two together?

- It doesn't matter. - Oh really?

Only an unimportant, small detail? We broke into his house!

Problems?

We're leaving.

The house belongs to him, and they were dating.

It's not like that, and it doesn't even matter.

Holy shit!

Wait, something strange is going on in this house.

This isn't normal, everything is falling apart.

And in the basement where Andrej is, I don't know how to explain...

This is just a run down house and Andrej is a psycho.

- Katya, is this really him? - Where do you want to go now?

Don't you get it? She lied, he is the owner.

Then he's just the owner. He's locked up and not going anywhere.

- We're leaving tomorrow morning as planned. - Is she imprisoned too?

Please, listen to me!

I should actually lock you up with Andrej.

Hey, that's enough.

Watch out. Clarify this with your girlfriend. What are you saying?

Or isn't she your girlfriend anymore?

End of the discussion!

I came here to have fun and that's what I'm gonna do.

Let's go!

Vadik, please...

Katya, I got it.

Now please stop inventing nonsense.

Hi, kid.

What now?

Where did the ball come from?

What kind of a madman would do that?

I've had enough. We're packing up and leaving.

- Why are you turning now? - It's not funny anymore.

But you only have eyes for her.

- Look around, the party is over, right? - That's my decision to make.

If you've had enough, call a taxi.

Sasha? Do you want to go too?

- Not yet. - See?

Damn it! Where is he going?

The person you are trying to reach is currently unavailable...

Holy shit, you scared me!

Are you lost?

Occupied!

Katya?

The person you are trying to reach is currently unavailable...

Man, did you scare me!

- Did you see Artur? - No.

- Did he go with Polina? - The cellar is open.

I beg your pardon? Did you let him out?

No.

Sasha!

- What was that? - Run away, fast and quietly!

Katya!

What the hell was that?

Sasha?

Come on now! Go on, go, go!

Can anyone explain to me what's going on, huh?

Shit.

You don't understand. They will kill Andrej, they'll kill him!

Chill out. Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet!

- I can't reach Polina. - No reproach.

The car's still here.

Don't look!

Get out of the car!

Go to the house!

It won't help. We need more fire.

They don't like fire. They clogged the fireplace.

- Do you know her that well? - Good enough.

- What are these monsters? - Vadik, stop it!

He knew about her from the beginning. And now three are dead!

- What about Polina? - Nobody invited you here.

- And why are you still alive? - Because I brought her here.

Listen carefully. Your only chance is to stay in the house.

Where it's warm. Burn everything you can find.

You can run away tomorrow morning, then they're not as dangerous anymore.

We're out of firewood.

So they are ghosts?

Demons.

In the form of my wife and my son.

Monsters from another world.

Is this for real?

Are you still in doubt?

He studied hell.

He found the door and left it open.

When I bought the house, I didn't believe it either.

- What do they want? - Just me.

You became a danger to me, so they started killing you.

Make torches out of the chair legs.

Have they killed anyone else?

My friend wanted to take me away from here.

At that time I didn't know what they were going to do.

After that happened, I boarded up the house,

I isolated myself from the outside world and learned to live with them.

I didn't expect anything to happen with you.

The fire mustn't go out. Leave tomorrow morning.

Andrey, wait!

I'll put on some tea.

Mama, play with me!

Yes!

Do you want to fly?

- Again! - But only one more time!

Papa!

Kick it to me! Yes, fast, fast!

Good.

You shouldn't have followed me.

I would have stopped her until tomorrow morning.

What was that?

These monsters exist at the expense of those who let them in.

Fear is their food.

But they give something for it.

For me, they create the illusion that my family is still alive.

Only I lose her again. Over and over again.

Have you been here all this time?

I went crazy.

And I prayed that everything would return to normal.

It started with the dreams.

I was actually answered.

They were so real.

So they prevented me from forgetting.

Then came the mold.

And finally, them.

They just stood there and stared at me as if they were saying.

"Let us in, and we will always stay with you."

One day I couldn't resist, so I let her in.

Then the dreams lasted for days.

And when I finally woke up and saw their real faces,

I realized that I had invited monsters.

Have you never tried to run away?

I didn't want to.

Shit!

What's this?

Andrej!

Where is Sasha?

We have to start the fire!

They'll kill us one way or the other.

They'll leave him alone, they want us. So they will continue to kill.

Well, am I right?

Vadik, what's that?

He said they depend on him.

When he is no longer there, they are not there anymore.

Tell me another solution!

There is none.

- Put the weapon down. - Katya, he's right.

I brought her here.

They will go with me.

Katya, no!

Run!

No!

Don't repeat my mistake.

Let go.

Take her outside.

What is it?

Hug me.
