Just Before Dawn Page #2

Synopsis: Five campers arrive in the mountains to examine some property they have bought, but are warned by the forest ranger Roy McLean that a huge machete-wielding maniac has been terrorising the area. Ignoring the warnings, they set up camp, and start disappearing one by one. If that sounds too run-of-the-mill, there's a genuinely shocking plot twist half-way through...

Who'd you expect to run into up there?

Oh I don't know, maybe some demons.

I hear some of them are kinda cute.

Whoa!

You okay?

Yeah I'm fine.

What was that?

That's it folks, end of the line.

We should be on the property

but we're gonna have to

hoof it from here.

Here Megan.

Oh thank you.

Here we go.

Johnny.

What?

That's mine.

Can't carry all this stuff,

we'll have to come back for some of it.

Forget my sunglasses.

Hurry up.

There's some big falls.

Should be about a mile from here.

Get your cameras ready.

You don't own something like this man

you just bow down to it.

My God, that is incredible.

Yeah, this is perfect.

This is the place huh?

. Yep-

Jonathan and I'll go back

for the rest of the stuff.

- We expect a nice warm

camp fire when we get back.

We'll work on it.

You can set up the tents huh?

No problem, where are they?

Right over here.

- Hey do you think you can

make it back before dark?

- Might have to carry the

cub scout there on my back

but we'll make it.

Just put 'em right there.

Right.

- Give Daniel a hand with

the tents, all right.

Hey Warren.

Yeah.

Do you think you should go back

and tell that forest

ranger where we'll be?

Yeah it was a stupid thing to do.

We'll it's getting too late to do it now.

Yeah.

. HEY-

Nothing out there but

God's little creatures.

More scared of you than you are of them.

I know, I know.

But this time it's different.

What is?

I don't know.

- We just got off

to a bad start, that's all.

Yeah we sure did.

- Save the loving for the

moonlight, and let's go.

- Jonathan will

you bring some more wine?

Does a bear sh*t in the woods?

Oh I don't believe it.

Come give me a hand?

Yeah.

So they get in the barn and he says

do you wanna stay down here or

do you wanna go in the, the.

The loft?

Oh experience huh.

No kidding.

Okay so you tell a joke now Danny.

I don't know any.

Yeah right.

Okay so where the hell are they?

- I told Warren he'd never

make it back before dark.

That's okay.

If it's an animal the

fire will keep it away.

Better be an animal.

Really.

Hey Connie.

Hey I mean you're the

one that's supposed to be

cool right now you know, I mean,

you're the veteran climber.

If you're scared just say the word

and I'll scream my frigging head off.

Me too.

That's okay.

Look.

Warren!

- Hey Connie if there's

really somebody out there

what do we do?

- Maybe we ought to make a

run for it, to the camper huh?

In the dark?

- Yeah.

- Wait a minute.

Warren.

Warren!

Warren?

Connie.

All right who is it?

What do you want?

Who is it?

What do you want?

Boo!

Hey we're on an outing here.

- You know I could've

stabbed you, you jerks.
