At the end of the last century, on northern Europe's coasts,
lived men who feared neither God nor the law.
They lured ships towards the rocks where they were smashed to pieces.
These men then plundered the wrecks.
They were called wreckers.
The captain is their leader. He is a brute.
His strength gives him power over his henchmen.
He has committed so many crimes that he‘s become almost mad.
Villagers say he is haunted by the ghosts of his victims.
His madness makes him dangerous and unpredictable.
Le Bosco, cursed by all navies, the bad seed of any crew.
He landed there dead-drunk from a foreign ship one night
with his bag on his shoulder
He follows the captain,
but this sailor, never without his knife, dislikes taking orders.
He bides his time like a vuIture.
He is false and crafty
Paul. He, too, is a former sailor.
He suffers the captain‘s orders, but grovels to Le Bosco.
He will be on the winner’s side.
He is cruel and cowardly
and has a worse temper than the others.
He is the strongest, because each of the three thinks he is on his side
Tina, the wrecker. The angel of the accursed
Wild and perverted. This cruel animal is always ready.
to snap up the innocent who come too close to her she-wolf jaws.
She will show no pity.
It‘s a game for her to plunder wrecks and kill survivors.
More than one dead man, his throat cut,
takes with hirn the image of her magnificently shameless naked body.
THE DEMONIACS
Help.
Help!
Something wrong, Captain?
Leave me aIone
- Hey, clear off, you drunk. - Get lost.
Now what’s the matter? Have you gone mad?
There.
A moment ago. Didn’t you see anything?
Here? I’m the only one here.
Are you afraid of ghosts, Captain?I
I thought I saw something. It’s nothing. It’s nothing.
It’s nothing.
Sounds like he saw a ghost.
- Maybe there was a ghost. - Just for him?
Yes. Just for him.
Help!
Bring us some drinks.
- A ship has been wrecked on the rocks. - A ship? When?
Only a few hours ago.
How do you know?I
Were you there?
It was tricked by lights guiding it into the rocks.
- To cause a shipwreck? On purpose? - Of course it was on purpose.
Shut up.
You know very well there are no wreckers anymore.
Who knows? The tide may have washed up the bodies.
I asked you if you were there.
- What about you? Were you there? - Me? No.
I was herel
So, why have you got blood on your shirt?
You’re crazy. There’s nothing there.
God curse the wreckers!
The sun is rising over the shore!
A sad and gray day!
The tide is out!
I can see two small figures.
They are getting up!
- They start walking. - That’s enough!
- Shut up! - They are still weak.
They support each other and stagger forward.
Be warned.
If they discover the secret of this cursed village,
nothing will stop them from taking revenge.
Let the ghosts come. I’m not afraid of anyone.
Let them come and see the captain!
God or devil. Come and have your throats slit.
Come on, then.
Come on, ghosts.
Come on, phantoms. Come on, demons.
Come back and see the captain. I challenge you.
You died tonight. I will kill you again!
We have to shut him up or he’ll tell them everything.
He’s drunk
I saw your heads smashed against the rocks!
What the hell is going on?
I don’t want any trouble here
It’s morning. We’re closing now. Finish your drinks and go.
It happened one windy night
It happened one stormy night
Crashed on the rocks, a stray ship
Leaves two beautiful innocent girls
A celebration of beauty
Some accursed men were wandering about
Full of wine and alcohol
They plundered the wrecks at night
Innocence destroyed by rape
A celebration of beauty
I should’ve killed that bastard.
- What are you going on about, Louise? - It’s only a song, Bosco.
A story about wreckers.
There are no wreckers nowadays.
It’s just a song.
As long as it’s just a song. I don’t want to hear your damn song!
It makes me sick! Bloody hell!
There’s a curse on this village. The demons are free.
What did you see? Tell me!
There were two ghosts. They were staggering about.
Pale and covered in blood, with crazed eyes.
- There were two women. - Where did you see them?
Over there, by the ship cemetery, near the haunted ruins.
Come with me, you two. Hurry
The devil has been set free!
God help us.
He has been imprisoned in the ruins for centuries.
Now he is free.
Misfortune is upon us!
I can sense that he’s still in the ruins!
Maybe now his long wait will be over.
They’re here. We must drive them out.
They won’t come out alive!
- What if they are ghosts? - There are no ghosts.
That’s enough. If they are alive, they must be exhausted.
We’ll easily catch them.
- We must try to capture them alive. - Why?
I want to finish them off.
Over here. I can see them.
Give me that.
Stupid bitches.
- They’ve gone. - They’re in one of the wrecks.
We can’t search all the wrecksl
Did you see anything, Bosco?
I haven’t seen them. They must still be here.
- We must wait until daybreak. - We’ll find them eventually.
I know how to drive them out. Paul, bring your lamp.
Come here, all of you. Le Bosco has an idea.
You come down too!
- Hurry up. - Let’s go.
- What are you going to do? - I’m going to burn them.
Give me your Iantern.
Stay here and tell me if you see them.
Bosco!
Tina?
Bosco! Captain!
Come on, we have to find Tina!
There they are!
They’re heading for the ruins.
The cursed ruins. You mustn’t go there.
Let me go!
Look! They’re over here!
Captain! Bosco!
They’re over here with me.
Come back.
Don’t go over there!
Stop! Don’t go over there!
Come back!
- Tina! - Follow me.
Come on.
- Come on. - Don’t go there!
Let go of me. Let me go.
Leave me. Don’t touch me!
Leave me alone. I want to get them.
I want to kill them!
For God’s sake, let me kill them!
Let go of me.
Don’t go there!
Come back here. It’s high tide. You’ll be caught in the seaweed.
You’ll be killed. You crazy? Don’t go to the ruins. Come back!
They were in the marshes.
They are wounded. Let me take care of them.
- I’ll look after them. - All right.
You knew the risk you were taking bringing them here.
It’s too late now.
Look after them so they can rest. I’ll speak to them afterwards.
I know you are there!
You saw them!
They can set you free if they wish.
But you’re the one who has to wait!
They have to come of their own free will.
I’ve seen how pure they are.
How innocent they are!
I won’t intervene,
but I beg you to spare them!
So be it.
Let destiny be fulfilled!
Don’t you want to play, Madame Louise?
Last night ended in tragedy.
- What happened? - There was a shipwreck.
And the captain thought he saw the ghosts.
Le Bosco was also acting strangely
- And at dawn - What happened at dawn?
They were in the marshes near the haunted ruins at dawn.
And now -
There they are.
How do you know all of this?
I just know.
What if they’re still alive?
For God’s sake, shut up
The captain has shut himself in his house. He’s afraid.
You’re all crazy!
You know what’s hidden away in the ruins. If they made it there
Two girls. Wounded and exhausted!
I think they must have drowned!
I hope so
If they are hiding in the ruins and they free
Don’t mention his name!
We don’t really know what’s hiding in the ruins.
Yeah.
But if they manage to get that far...
what will happen?
All I know is that no one has been there for at least a century.
Shut up! You don’t know what you’re talking about.
- Do you understand? - Help!
Stop it!
That’s enough from you. Come here with me instead.
With you?
All right.
They can no longer speak!
We have to help them.
You’re the only one who can help them.
I will save you.
I will give you back peace.
You needn’t be afraid of us.
The ludicrous costume helps keep the villagers away from the ruins.
As for me, I’m the keeper of this tomb.
Try to tell me how I can assist you.
Revenge.
You are free to take your revenge
The one supposed to be in this tomb is trapped somewhere in these ruins.
He can only be liberated by innocent hands, by victims of evil.
Tonight he will call you. He knows you are here.
It’s up to you whether or not you want to set hIm free.
Only he can give you the means to take revenge and find peace again.
But he’s a black angel, a demon wearing a habit.
If you set him free, you will also release his dark forces
which have been locked away for a century now.
The entity imprisoned in these ruins can be very dangerous.
Right now he’s possessed. Evil lives within him.
The one behind the door is two-faced!
You can find peace there, or death
It’s up to you now. You can expect him to call you tonight.
Stop fidgeting.
I know they will return.
Until I touch their corpses with my own hands,
I won’t believe they are dead!
Where do you expect them to be?
They’re dead, I tell you.
It’s as if I can see them.
I can feel them watching me.
Their spirit is searching my head to find me.
Their hatred won’t leave me!
I know theywill return.
They can think of nothing else but me.
They’re looking for me in order to take their revenge.
Dead or alive, I know they will be back.
I saw them in the tavern!
They were covered in blood.
They were watching me.
You don’t care, do you? You weren’t there.
You don’t believe in ghosts!
You’re nothing but a trollop.
No.
No, you can’t make me forget them.
They will kill us!
They came back from the dead...
to tear us apart.
Good for them if they are alive!
I will kill them like wicked creatures.
I want to strangle them.
I want to feel their bones breaking between my fingers.
I want to overpower them, drink their blood and wounds.
I’ll smash them with my heels and you’ll be there to see it.
There will be nothing left of them
Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
I tell you I saw them, as clear as I see you now.
The captain’s gone completely crazy. He should be locked up.
He’s becoming dangerous.
Everyone seems to know about it.
News travels fast around here. People are staying indoors.
- There’s no way they can know. - We’ve said too much.
There’s that sailor who saw the girls in the ship cemetery.
What about Louise, did she see anything?
Louise? Yes, maybe.
She has second sight.
Tragedy is upon the village.
Tonight he will be free!
Who do you mean?
The one who hides in the ruins.
I can see him!
He is waiting
He is calling.
I can see you!
Open this door, so the devil’s fury may be unleashed on this cursed land.
Let the death of us all be the price of your life.
Unleash all the forces of evil upon us!
I will give you the power. Go on.
That’s it!
Now open the door.
Good.
He is free!
You came when I called to you.
I am free and you will sacrifice your bodies to me. Come.
You say nothing, but you speak to me with your minds.
I will give you all my power, so that you may carry out your revenge.
You may go. Now l am within you.
You have all of my power until sunrise.
Once the daylight comes, you will be just as weak as you were before.
Go now. You only have a few hours to carry out your revenge.
They’re alive. I saw them.
Poor things
So, Louise, who did you see?
Tell us what you know.
I didn’t see anyone.
But I do know everything that happened.
That’s the way I am.
I know things I have never seen!
I’ve heard about your gift of second sight.
Are they aIive
- They’re alive. - Where are they?
Right here.
- No, Bosco! - Calm down!
Captain, stop him!
So there you are, my children.
You are very much as I imagined.
Yes, I’ve seen you before. Here, in my head.
What’s your name?
You don’t want to tell me!
What about you? How old are you?
I see. You’re not very talkative!
Are you hungry?
Thirsty?
Good that’s a start!
But I would like to hear the sound of your voice.
Maybe you aren’t able to speak!
Is that it? Are you mute?
Poor wretches, they are mute!
Monique, bring them some grenadine.
I understand. You have to leave.
Let me look at you a while Ionger.
I’m afraid I may never see you again.
Listen, I would never betray you.
You can always think of me as a friend!
Are you afraid of those girIs?
Cowards. Coward
You’re running away. You’re terrified.
I’m not afraid of them. I’m going.
I’ll bring you back their heads.
Where are they?
- I’m not afraid. I want them. - They just left for the hills.
Would you shut your mouth, bitch. Who asked you?
Help me.
Beware, the sailors were here.
They were completely drunk.
Save yourselves.
There is nothing I can do. I have no more power left.
Yes, I can save them by myself
if you wait here until daybreak.
You will keep them alive until then!
My powers will leave you and return to me. I will save them.
Yes, I know what will happen.
You will be left powerless against your enemies.
You will be quite defenseless.
But they will live thanks to you.
That’s good.
It’s nearly dawn.
Leave as soon as it’s Iight.
Try to save yourselves.
They will live!
Your revenge escapes you.
In this crazy world.
the only thing that might possibly be left for you is generosity.
- Do they have to die? - In a short while.
I would like to save them.
They gave us their Iives.
Can’t you help them?
Nothing can save them now.
No, I cannot leave the ruins.
But their revenge will be carried out.
The four pirates are condemned. They will perish.
We will go to meet them!
You will be too late.
That doesn’t matter.
We’ve finally got you. You will die here!
You little she-devils! No magic can save you this time.
Stupid whores!
Take advantage of them again!
Tear it!
More. Go on!
Tear!
Trash.
Bitch.
Here I go, slut.
Hit the sluts!
Blood! Oh, yes!
It’s gonna hurt.
I’m gonna - I’m gonna -
Hurts, doesn’t it?
Arching -
You liked it?
Stop it. Are you crazy?
What are you doing? Are you insane?
What have I done?
They’re going to drown.
They’re innocent.
Innocent.
