Je m'appelle Victoria
Comment allez-vous?
Santé... no... no...
My sister sent me a postcard
All it said was: come to Paris, it will be good for you
48 hours after I arrived...
...she and everyone I've met were dead
Open the bag
Sorry?
- Open the bag - Open my bag? Ok
Have you been in Paris before?
No, I've never been here before
I get nervous sometimes
- Ne comprend vous francais? - Sorry? I don't understand
She asked you if you understand French
No, I don't speak french
Are you staying in a hotel room?
I'm staying with my sister
Hey, welcome to Paris
Have you fun yet?
She's... I don't know where she's staying...
...but she studies at the Sorbone
Her address?
I don't know. I'm sorry She's picking me up at the airport
I don't know
Welcome to France
This trip is gonna change you forever
Aren't you excited?
Yeah definitely. I just have a headache
There is the sister I remember
Where are we going?
This is where you live?
Yep. Is pretty creepy, right?
Got a good deal with the rent, though
You'll loved this
France's first serial killer had a room on the fifth floor
He chopped a bunch of bodies before someone complains...
...about the noise the bone saw is making everyday
They making proud of him But the guy went fucking mental
By the time the cops got here, he already killed everyone in the fourth...
After the massacre everyone moved out...
Too much bad blood, they said
- What? - I'm just fucking with you
It's just a shit building
You gotta learn to lighten up, honey
There's not a homicidal maniac lurking in every shadow
Alright. Turn the light on, would you?
I don't know where the light is
I wasn't talking to you
What?
Is every single moment of your life into scare the shit out of people?
Even that as a suggestion breaks my heart, Carolyn
Don't take it personal. They do it to everyone. Are you ok?
Yeah, I know is... Where I'll sleep?
Sleep in Baltimore, Vic
Nor even the dead sleep in Paris
It's just I didn't sleep on the plane last night
I was nervous about the flight so I can't sleep...
Yeah, well... Sorry there's no time
We got a party to get ready for
Sorry? There's no way I can go to a party tonight
Not dressed like mom, you can't
C'mon. Let's go shopping
Do you feel ok?
Yeah...
Sure don't have anything to say to Quasimodo?
What do you think so far?
Of what?
Of what? Of Paris!
Look around you, is the most beautiful city in the world!
The City of light. Romance, art, architecture, beauty...
It's hard to imagine that stays on top of the larger mass grave of the history
C'mon. You can't go to a party without the shoes
Oh, God! You scared me!
You? You usually are so calm and collected
What are you taking?
Nothing... I told you I have a headache
Well, spin that ass! The taxi's coming
Victoria, this is my dear friend Hugo...
He's one of the hosts of the most fabulous party...
Hugo, this is my infamous sister Victoria
Je m'appelle Victoria
We all speak english here, sister
- Ok - Ok
What am I? An amateur?
No. This is for your sister
For me?
- Ladies, please. Come in - Au revoir, mon cherie
C'mon sis
Carolyn wait Where are we going?
It's too late to turn back now
I don't understand What kind of party is this?
This is the kind of party that'll change your life
It changed mine, anyway
Seriously, why anybody want to throw a party down here?
Because this is where the dead bodies are
You're just trying to scare me? Aren't you?
I'm not. I swear. Everything I'd say is absolutely true
Paris' dirty old secrets
"Abandon all hope here you enter"
Pretty
200 years ago, Paris ran out of room to bury its dead
The graveyards were stuffed, like fifteen bodies deep
The corpses were rotting in the streets
Some brilliant person decides to start over. Just dig out the bodies...
...of every dead person in Paris. All seven millions of them...
...and stuck their bones in this mines shafts under the left bank
- Seven millions? - Isn't that funny?
Don't the police try to stop you?
They tried. They created a whole task force to shut us down. The "catacops"
There's 300 miles of tunnels under the city and we never go party the same place twice
Que-ce tu fais? Que-ce tu fais?
Do you remember Nico and Leon?
Hey
Let's move, Jean-Michele is waiting for us
Who is Jean-Michele?
You'll meet him
He and Hugo were who came with the idea of throw out parties down here
...have become more and more popular...
I have being accused in the press of being in love with the death
A kind of necrophilia, I suppose
But in ancient Greece, it was a practice of philosophers...
...to keep a human skull on their desk
The idea was this...
...only with a conscious awareness...
...of our pending death
Can we appreciate our life fully
I always found myself persuaded by that sentiment
The only problem is...
...I never own a desk!
Welcome to the Catacombs!
Hello!
Hey there!
A water, please?
Can I have a water, please?
You don't have to drink here
- Are you Jean-Michele? - Carolyn has told me a lot about you?
What did she say?
She said you are afraid of the darkness
I'm not, really
You're not? Because I am We all are
Why the hell do you come to this place, then?
"It is God's kindness to terrify us so that we become stronger"
Where am I suppose to drink?
You're wasting your time, Jean-Michele
She doesn't drink alcohol
It's not alcohol It's absinthe
- Go, go, go. C'mon! - She did it!
I can see this going very badly
Hey! Space cadet! Are you okay?
So, since you arrived in Paris... Did you see a ghost yet?
- That line is getting so old... - She's in Paris...
The most haunted city in the world It is a legitimate question
Look around you Six million people...
Torn from the ground and stacked under your feet like wood for the fire...
If there are ghost anywhere, there are ghosts in Paris
If there are ghosts anywhere, there are ghosts in this place!
You know, he's absolute right The catacombs are haunted
But not by ghouls or specters The catacombs are haunted by people
The lowest creeps and lunatics drown down from the surface by morbidity
Death is a spectacle An opera
When the cult of the Black Virgin began inverting the rites of...
...Catholiscism. Painting the statue of Mary in black...
...and praying to Satan...
Even when those people claimed to have given birth to the Antichrist
No sane person took them seriously
But they did
They take a child...
...born of the incest...
...raised on raw meat...
...they never allow him to see daylight...
...tought him he was the destroyer of man
Dress him in a gruesome goatskin mask What do you expect?
By the time the boy was eighteen... They have succeeded
They have created...
...a hawking...
...unthinking lunatic...
...so evil...
...that definitive he could be called the Antichrist
C'mon! A killer with a goat mask?
It's just another myth A more frightened one, but...
...still a myth
There's articles in the newspapers every week about people that come down...
...to the catacombs and never make it out
No, this is not a myth This monster they had created...
...is down here. Somewhere
Ok, you guys don't go to graduate school with Carolyn. Do you?
Let's go swimming
What do you say sis? Do you like taking a dip?
C'mon Vic! Nobody gives a shit Get over it!
Get naked. Get in the water
Carolyn...
- Carolyn - C'mon! Take 'em out!
It just your body. You have a beautiful body
You didn't see the Balboa
Is nothing, you guys. I'm just a little cold. That's all
Yeah, right. Otherwise she would been the first one in
But it's cold! I'm wanna go home!
You know, Vic. You might try for once in your life...
...to not be the lamest person in the room
Leave her alone!
Well, it gotta be me, right? I think I'm gonna go back to the party
That sounded much more hateful that I meant
Can somebody show me the way back to the party?
Is that way
Looks like you're stuck. And you have to go swimming
- It's ok. I'll find it - Vic, don't be a retard...
...you can go back alone. You gonna get lost
It's a maze. Vic! Seriously!
Vic!
As with us soon you shall be
Is what it says
- You scared me - Good
People like you need to be scared
I'm serious, dumbass. Don't walk out like that. It's dangerous
Sound doesn't travel in the Catacombs. You could get lost before you know it
You're not lost. Are you?
No. I don't think so
Maybe I'm lost
Are you serious?
What's so funny?
Whoever wrote that doesn't think it matters which way we go
What it's say?
"There is but one way to enter this life...
...but the gates of death are outnumbered"
That's great
What the fuck was that?
I though you said sound doesn't travel down here
It doesn't. Stay here
I get it
The guys are just trying to scare you. They live for that shit
Bye! Fuck off!
Carolyn, I wanna go home. Please
Wait! Wait! Can you feel that?
What?
The music in my feet. The bass. We're almost back to the party
C'mon! Dance with me
What happened? Turn on the light! What happened?
- Why it went out? - The batteries must be dead!
- Hang on! - What?
What do you mean they're dying?
Batteries die. The light starts to glimmer
Oh my God! What we got here?
- The flashlight is dying! - It's ok!
No it's not. The batteries are dying
You're such a spaz!
Oh my God! What are we gonna do?
Why they still doing that? It's not funny!
You can't be my sister You had to be adopted
All I wanna say is how can you be so calm right now?
Because of the first rule on the Catacombs
Always brings more than one light source
Do you see, spaz? Not everything is a crisis
C'mon. The party is closer
Carolyn!
Carolyn! No!
Carolyn! please!
Please!
Help!
Help me!
Help!
No!
My God

- I knew it. My sister... - Man, I'm hungry...
- Can we go eat? - You really thought I was dead?
That's histerical
You really thought I was dead this whole time. Didn't you?
I knew it! Oh my God...
That's histerical!
You thought I was really dead this whole time. Didn't you?
We fake the slash It's stage blood
There's no monster, it was just a prank.
It was Hugo on a mask. Will you show her?
Look. Do you see?
It was just a joke
A joke?
Not a joke. A prank, an initiation
The cult of the Black Virgin. The monster on the goat mask...
...it's just an underground haunted house meant to scary us fast
This guys is been doing it for years
We're gonna explain everything but the cops showed up...
...and raid us and separated us
It's been safer for you be down there, sis.
We've been call you for hours
Hello?
Victoria! Stop running!

It's the walls. You can't hear nothing
Leave alone me!
No... My God. Henri!
Hey, stop being such a drama queen

No, we shouldn't did what we did. But that what's these guys do
Every single moment of your life is into scaring shit out of people?
Didn't you see a ghost yet?
They just trying to scare you. They live for that shit
We thought it would be for you
Hey!
You scared me!
Good. People like you need to be scared
There's not homicidal maniac lurking in every shadow
Jean-Michele always says when you survive your own death, you reborn
Is the whole reason we come down to the Catacombs
Only with the conscious awareness of our pending death...
...can we appreciate our lifes fully
Why do you think I wanted you to came here in the first place?
I thought it will help you to get over your issues...
...to get rid of those stupid pills once and for all
- Where is Jean-Michele? - I don't know
Have you seen him?
- Merde, qui est qu'il est Ià? - Holy shit! Jean-Michele!
God! Oh my God! Stop shaking him!
Is he dead?
- Jean-Michele! - God!
Get of him! Stop shaking him!
No, no, not Jean-Michele! No!
Check his pulse!
Jean-Michele!

I fucking hate you!
Everything you ever done in your fucking life is a mistake
You're sorry? Always fucking sorry!
You ruined everything! I fucking hate you so much!
Look what you did! There's something wrong with you!

I wish you were dead! You're so stupid you couldn't even kill yourself!
What is fucking wrong with you? You stupid... Everywhere...
You should kill yourself... Crazy stupid bitch!
Everything you...
Nooooo!
My sister sent me a postcard
All it said was: "Come to Paris It'll be good for you"
48 hours after I arrived...
She and everyone I've met were dead
Airport, please
