"Did you know the Krauts have started deporting foreign Jews? I don't know what they do, they just take them away. But those taken haven't written with news. I can't stay, I have patients to see. Don't forget: no initials or clues on your linen. As for jewellery, bring all the gold you have, anything of value"**
- The Gestapo used you as bait. But what do they know about me?
- How to get in touch with you, via the barber. That's why they needed a credible customer. To get to Dr. Eugène.
- Eugène? Is that what they call me? Have you ever heard of Dr. Petiot? Nobody has ever mentioned the name?
- No, never. The Gestapo want to crack your network.
- They won't get me. I know the area backwards.
"Dr. Satan slaughtered at least 30 innocent victims, The coroner examines the meagre remains found in a quicklime pit. Most are unidentifiable. What cries of distress, what wails of suffering did these walls hear? Foul crime or sadism? It's a total mystery. But Marcel Petiot will be labelled monstrous, the serial killer of the century"

original title·····Docteur Petiot
language·········French
**
Based on the true life story of French WW II medical doctor and serial killer Marcel Petiot. While the Germans occupied France from 1940-1944, Using the codename "Dr. Eugène", Petiot pretended to have a means of getting people (Jews, Resistance fighters, and ordinary criminals) wanted by the Germans to safety outside France. Petiot claimed that he could arrange a passage to Argentina, for a price of 25,000 francs per person. Once victims were in his control, Petiot told them that Argentine officials required all entrants to the country to be inoculated against disease, and with this excuse injected them with cyanide. He then took all their valuables and disposed of the bodies. He is suspected of the murder of about 60 victims during his lifetime, although the true number remains unknown.
"I know he's there, in the darkness. He is watching. He waits. He is everywhere. He wants David's soul"
- Mom wasn't crazy. I'm not crazy. What if she saw something out there?
- I saw something. And it wasn't a fuckin' dream. I wasn't imagining things, 'cause that doesn't happen. I saw it through the window last night.
- My mom didn't believe in God or the Devil. Never did. None of us do. She didn't believe.
- What does it matter whether you believe. You think the wolf cares if you believe he's a wolf? Not if he finds you alone in the woods.
- What did you say to my mom?
- I told her the truth.
- No, you told her your truth. Priest, you really think the devil's out there? That's your truth?
- Your mama died. You heard her words, her warning. You think she's crazy because she saw a wolf, saw him coming? He's not out there. He's already here.
"Do you smell him? I bet you do. I smell him, too. He's close now. He's rotting. All alone"
"He used his own blood as ink. He seems to think he's locked in a cellar. Like a small child.There's food in the cellar even something to drink. But he drinks his own blood. because he's afraid... There is someone with him in the cellar. He is afraid that this someone will turn to face him. That's that. There's one part here that bothers me. He says he regrets that he hadn't the courage to kill us all"
- I saw that farmer's daughter... I think. She's following us.
- That's not possible. You're seeing things.
- We have to turn back. We need to let her out.
- We're almost at our destination. I have done much worse things than leaving some girl in a cellar. The first thing you learn when working for the King is to forget.
- To forget? You killed the girl's father.
- Why did you lock her up?
- To protect her. From you.
- Oh. it was me who lusted after that titless scrag? You were the one imagining.. how it would feel to rape a young. innocent thing like that. That's the ugly truth the young professor wanted to lock away. You have always studied in peace far away from all this. But meanwhile here in your homeland we woke up to war every morning. Now that you're finally here. Bear this task honorably with me to the end. I promise I will not let anything bad happen to you brother.
- We belong to the Royal Border Commission of the Russian Emperor and the King of Sweden**. What's the name of this place? There's no record of a village on the northern edge of the swamp. This village is a crucial point for the border.
- We are not on the northern edge. We're in the middle. In the dead center of the swamp.We found these houses empty. Didn't come across any people. All that was left were the monks' robes. scattered all around. Some thought that they had just abandoned their faith. Others said that someone had taken them away. Ever since the day we got here not one of us has really dared to live. Or to die.
"On this site there used to be a monastery of the Russian Church. More surprisingly. the sauna was possibly here even before that. The monks found it and built their monastery next to it. Something made them believe that in this very sauna a man could wash all his sins away. Without asking for forgiveness. Without prayers. One of the monks writes: Maybe it is not a sauna, but only appears to be one because we can't comprehend what it is"
"The impulse had become irresistible. There was only one answer to the fury that tortured him and so he committed his first act of murder. He had broken the most deep rooted taboo and found not guilt, not anxiety or fear, but freedom. Every humiliation which stood in his way could be swept aside by this simple act of annihilation: Murder"
- Are you Peter Neal? I'm Captain Germani! Of the Rome Homicide Squad. I apologize, but a girl was killed 5 hours ago. A girl named Else Manni. We wanted to know if you knew her?
- This is the first time I've been to Rome.
- You just arrived, Mr. Neal?
- You mean, do I have an alibi? Yes, I landed from New York about 2 hours ago. Well, I didn't know the girl, I'm sorry.
- She died from 4 deep wounds. Throat, chest and suffocation. Her mouth was stuffed with pages from a book, Tenebrae.
- Tenebrae?!
- I've read all your books Mr. Neal, except your new book Tenebrae. Just started on it last night. The book deals with a murder commited with an old fashioned open razor, right? Don't tell me who did it, I haven't finished it yet! This girl too was killed with a razor and your books' pages staffed into her mouth and we found this on the floor of your appartment here. It's addressed to you!
- "There was only one answer to the fury that tortured him."
- Isn't that a passage from your book?
- Yes, Yes it is.
- I respect you Mr. Neal, believe me. I don't want to make your stay in Rome a nightmare, but we're going to need your help.
- Well I've made charts. have tried building the plot the same way you have trying to figure it out but I just have that hunch that something is missing. Tiny piece of the jigsaw. Somebody who should be dead is alive, or somebody who should be alive is already dead.
- Explain that.
- You know there is a sentence in a Conan Doyle Book "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains however improbable must be the truth!".
- the Hound of the Baskervilles?
- Yes. You know the impossible in this case is that the chain of killings doesn't make sense! In Hound of the Baskervilles the impossible was a giant ghost mastiff ! The improbable in this case again, like the book is almost certainly weird, unbelievable but possible. That's what we have to find.
- Are you the kind of detective who, once you get on a case, nothing can get you off it bribes, beatings, the allure of a woman's body.
- That was true in the old days before we had a union.
- My daughter Delly. Well, she's gone. Two weeks. I'm used to her staying out nights, so at first, I didn't worry.
- You got any idea what she does with her spare time or...
- She hangs out with freaks. She smokes marijuana. Gets laid, I dare say.
- How old is she?
- 16.
- I'll need a picture of Delly, preferably one taken in natural light.
- All right. Go find her.
- Well, let's say $125 a day and legitimate expenses.
- You're hired.
- They were smuggling in something from the Yucatan. It's a piece of junk worth half a million, They've been flying it in piece by piece. The crazy bastards have been at it for months. The whole thing... crazy!
- Where is this half a million dollars' worth?
- It's out there over the shelf, out past where we found the plane.
- All right, come on, let's go.
- I want to know what it's all about!
- I told you!
- You... what the hell are you all about?!
- You're asking the wrong questions. Why don't you just be content? You've solved the case.
- I didn't solve anything. This... Fell in on top of me.
- Miss, New York on Saturday night is full of murders. Why do you have to bother me about one that happened in San Francisco?
- But this murder didn't happened in San Francisco, it happened right here, I saw it through a train window, there were two men in the room, one had a crowbar or something that looks like a crowbar, the other was an old man wearing an overcoat and bedroom slippers. The first man held the crowbar over the old man's head like this. I'm sure I can identify the body...
- Just a minute. "The Case of the Headless Bride." Oh? Bet that's exciting, huh? Full of murders. My, my. Did anybody in this book go to jail for malfeasance?
- For what?
- Malfeasance. That's making up a murder and taking it to the police. Now, get out of here, miss. And the next time you dream up a mystery let the author of this book solve it. I'm too busy.
- But this isn't a story, it happened. Mr. Morgan, you know all about murders. If you could...
- Go to the police.
- But the police..... Mr. Morgan, that's the man I saw murdered from the train.
- It can't be, Josiah Waring died in Long Island. It was in all the papers. He was trimming his Christmas tree and fell off a stepladder.
- They could've carried the body there. We've got to investigate.
"Miss Collins... we first met at 10 o'clock this morning, didn't we? Since that time, you've had me thrown out of a newsreel theater, chasing around Manhattan in my pajamas on Christmas eve, conked on the head by a total stranger, robbed of my favorite overcoat, and my fiancee, whom I've begged to forgive me twice a day for the last three years, will undoubtedly never... let me beg her to forgive me again. But the evening is young, you probably haven't even got rolling yet. So I think I'll stick around"
"The Cold Hour's coming. That means freezing our socks off and locking ourselves in our rooms. Otherwise the Invisibles can get in and kill you. They're like ghosts, but even more scary, and no one knows where they come from. Before, during the cold hour, all of us used to get into one room, but they're attracted by the warmth of many people together. So it's better to stay in our rooms, not many of us together"
"What if all this was just an experiment? Can't you feel they're spying on us? There are hidden cameras everywhere. We are guinea pigs. This is a behavioral experiment. We are being observed. We're in a concentration camp"

NOTE: "The film is based on Stuart's 1989 novel of the same name and takes a blunt look at incest and sexual violence in an English family." (Wikipedia)
Genre: Drama
"After his family relocates from London to rural Devon, sullen British teen Tom (Freddie Cunliffe) spends most of his time moping about the house. When he inadvertently discovers an incestuous relationship between his older sister, Jessie (Lara Belmont), and their father (Ray Winstone), the revelation threatens to have dire consequences. The mother of the family (Tilda Swinton), unaware of the dark secret, has recently given birth, and the siblings must contend with the harrowing situation." - (Rotten Tomatoes)
- Do you recognize this girl?
- Looks like the Valmont girl who used to live in the castle. Where did you take that photo?
- Yesterday, in the woods.
- You can't have. She died over two years ago.
"How can this be? You can't be alive. It's not possible. Don't worry anymore. We're together again. If there's any life left in you, help me to understand you. Help me to bring you back to this world. You're gradually abandoning death. There is life in you. You can draw it from deep down within you"
- You still don't understand. You can't save me. I can't carry on. Kill me. I'm evil. Save yourself. I am your death.
- It doesn't matter. Our vow. The two little girls and their music box. Remember? If you die first, I'll follow you.

- Nor did I expect to be, but it is a loud world, and this is an island. But an island, sir, ruled by a tyrant queen who has the power to send any one of us back to where we came from. The asylum*, I mean.
- What is the matter with you, Dennis? Why are you so angry with us? You're making your mother very unhappy.
- She's not my mother!
- Not this again. Who is she, then?
- She's a cheap tart. You killed my mum, you murderer! You bloody murderer!
- Dennis do you know what you're saying? Are you daft? I don't know where you get your ideas from. You're by yourself too much.
"You did this. You did your mum in. You killed your mother. You murdered your mum"

Follows the warped imaginative mind of a mumbling paranoid schizophreniac. He hardly seems aware of the present. His mind gradually slips back into the realm created by his illness, where he replays a key part of his traumatized childhood [Phantasmatic Fissures: Spider]

- We'll build The church here.
- I'm afraid it's not possible Reverend. The area belongs to the Sámis**
- Didn't you buy the land to do ore mining? Then what's the problem?
- We agreed to keep this area off the deed. The Sámis talked about something they can't control. Something spiritual.
- Like ghosts or something?
- Their words, not mine.
- Let my parish deal with matters of Heaven and Earth, and we'll leave the mining to you. The church will be placed here.
- What did Mother say to you?
- It wasn't her. It was someone else. I heard children's voices. They spoke a different language.
"When I'm gone, you have to take care of one of the girls. While the other one will get a bigger task. Place her with the reverend's family. And make sure that the two don't meet again until spring"

"On a hot day, two rebellious high school friends, Rickie and JT, decide to skip class to hang out at an abandoned asylum for the mentally ill. After breaking into the derelict place, the fun begins in the ill-lit maze of the institution's long corridors and dark rooms when, all of a sudden, JT discovers the body of a naked young woman covered with a plastic film. In light of this grotesque and unexpected finding, troubling questions rise as this seemingly unresponsive prisoner starts growling and gnashing. Who is this scarred woman? Was she a patient here, or was she the guinea pig of a demented scientist? Above all, how human is this unknown girl who cannot die?—Nick Riganas" - (IMDB)
- My people tell me you're one of the best five in your field. Your fee will be £100,000. You're to establish the facts.
- Regarding what?
- Survival after death.
- Where do I find them? I'm a physicist. In 20 years of studying parapsychology I've yet...
- If they exist, you'll find them in the only place I know where survival hasn't been refuted. The Belasco house.
- Hell House? I thought the Belascos had it sealed up after what happened.
- That was 20 years ago. They needed money. I bought it. There will be two others. A mental medium, Florence Tanner and a physical medium, the only survivor from the last attempt, Fischer. Between you three, I expect an answer within a week.
[Rate of breath increasing. Rising steadily. Infrared rays broken. Cameras activated. Evidence of electromagnetic radiation commencing. Medium's respiration, 210. Dynamometer, 1460. Evidence of ozone in the air. Ectoplasm forming. Separate filaments exuding from fingertips of both hands uniting to form two separate strands. Two strands moving toward each other. Ectoplasmic stalk through net, moving toward table. Miss Tanner coming out of trance. Premature retraction of ectoplasm causing brief systemic shock. Conclusion of sitting 2:48 p.m.]
"The body emits a form of energy invisible to the human eye. This energy can be expanded beyond the body where it can create mechanical, chemical, physical effects. Sounds, the movement of objects, such as we've experienced. This energy is a field of electromagnetic radiation. All living organisms emit this energy. Such power must saturate its environment. Consider the destructive residual energy which has been poured into it. In essence the house is a giant battery whose energy is tapped by those who enter. The residue I speak of has nothing to do with surviving personalities. My machine will fill the house with a massive counter charge of radiation which will reverse and dissipate its polarity. And Hell House will be exorcized"
"It isn't mindless, directionless power. It isn't multiple hauntings. It's only one. One entity pretending to be many others. That's where the answer lies! But what's the key? What is the key? Oh, God. Of course. Extremes. Limits. Legs! Belasco! Destroy me if you can! Don't leave the job half done! We're here! I'm here! Kill me! That's it! Tell me something, Belasco. Why didn't you ever leave this house when you were alive? Why? Did you despise the sunlight? Was it better hiding in the shadows? No one could really see you then, could they? No one could find out your secret then, could they? You weren't a genius! You were a deviant! A sawed-off little bastard! Your mother was a bitch! A whore! You were a bastard! A funny, little dried-up bastard!"

- Where were you when it** happened?
- In the cellar.
- What did you see?
- A flash of lightning. Where are the others ?
- We have to wait and see.
- Do you think we ever will?
- Why not? If we're not the only survivors.**
- Did anyone hear the news on the morning before the…
- Yes. They didn't say anything.
- We killed three men who were stealing our wheat. What else could we have done?
- I don't know. But they were men. There aren't many left.
- We're men too. We just survived. Because we were lucky. We have to defend ourselves.
- When we didn't want to sleep with him, he beat us. After you came, it was even worse than before. Every day, for hours, we had to repeat the same thing: that we are the only survivors, that God wants us to have children, that he is our lord.
- Who's "he?"
- Fulbert, the director. I don't know what he did before. He became the leader right away, just like that.
- Did he let you go, or did you run away?
- I ran away with Judith. but he caught her.
- What do you have to eat there?
- There was food on the train. Canned food, a bit of everything. And there was the farm next to the tunnel. He locked up the food with handcuffs. The law of the tunnel is the only law. Survivors, they will obey or die.

A group of French villagers survived a nuclear war and found themselves in the face of what was left of rural France countryside.
- You know, most of my colleagues would've walked away from a case like yours. But I found you intriguing. All that talk about monsters and Midian. When you imagined yourself being taken away to this invented city, to Midian, what sins were you gonna be forgiven?
- Are we back in therapy, Doctor? They were just dreams. Midian doesn't exist. Monsters don't exist.
- But murder does, Aaron. Murder is very, very real. It might start in the mind but then it changes to flesh and blood. Two days ago, the police brought me some photographs. They wanted to know if any of my patients was capable of doing what's in those photographs. I'm gonna show them to you. Because when you talked about murder on the tapes, I assumed it was just hallucination. That's what I assumed. What you described on those tapes, Aaron, was very detailed. Very specific. Houses, faces. These houses. These faces. Six families killed in ten months, Aaron.
- Oh, God !
- The Nightbreed. The last survivors of the great tribes. We're shape shifters. Freaks. Remains of races that your tribe have almost driven to extinction.
- This is too weird.
- To be able to fly? To be smoke? Or a wolf? To know the night and live in it, forever. That's not so bad. You call us monsters, but when you dream you dream of flying, and changing and living without death. You envy us . And what you envy...
- We destroy.
"I'm not one of them. I'm here to destroy them. See, I've cleaned up a lot of breeders. Families like cesspools. Filth making filth, making filth. And I did it over, and over, and over again. But it was all leading me here. I was born to destroy the breed"
- Now you wouldn't want to miss the Judgment Day, would you? The Apocalypse? It's here? They're warming up for it over at Midian. What I want you to do is go over to your church, get crosses, and prayer books, and Bibles, and whatever the hell else you people use. 'Cause we're going out there with God on our side. Whether it's Commies, freaks or Third World Y-chromosome mutants, we are there. Sons of the free.
- "So Moses spoke to the people saying, Arm yourselves for war and let them go and take vengeance for the Lord on Midian. And so they burned with fire all the cities where they dwelt and killed the kings of Midian, both man and beast" We've made a mistake. It's wrong, it's sacrilege! This is holy ground! There are children down there. You're killing children!
