Dark Circles Page #2

Synopsis: Haunted house film about a pair of sleep deprived parents who begin to experience disturbing visions after moving from the city to a country estate. Alex and Penny have just become parents of a baby boy when they decide that the city is no place to raise a child. Relocating to a farmhouse, the couple finds their relationship deteriorating due to the demands of caring for a newborn, including a lack of sleep. When Alex and Penny begin seeing a mysterious woman around the house, they at first dismiss the sightings as hallucinations brought on by sleep deprivation. But as the visions appear more often, the parents are forced to consider that evils are at work in their home. By the time the truth about their new home is revealed, their tenuous grip on sanity has already begun to slip.

No!

God damn it! God damn it!

Are you on channel A or channel B?

Channel B.

Got it.

Should I put it back on the shelf?

You don't have to yell.

I can hear you through the monitor.

Okay.

Yeah, put it back on the shelf.

I think you have it pointing at the ceiling.

You need to point it down to the crib.

All right, that's it.

Just move it a little bit to the left.

What's wrong?

Oh, God.

Where are you taking my mom?

I'm sorry, babe.

I love your mother, but the effect

with the camera was a little creepy.

- Well, what about the monitor?

- It's good.

Move it two inches to the right.

What's goin' on with him?

I don't know, but I cannot go back in there.

That counts as a turn.

Oh, God.

What the hell is that?

Oh, my God.

- What's going on?

- Oh, my God.

I don't know.

- Let's go see.

- Yeah.

I don't understand.

I'll check it out.

Why don't you take him inside?

I'm gonna throw up.

How could we not know?

We saw it on a Sunday.

We moved in on a Sunday.

We can't live like this.

With Tanner not sleeping?

It was his first night like that.

We'll... We'll get rest.

You need quiet.

I'll manage.

I mean, that was the whole point.

Nah, we'll be fine.

I mean, how long can this last?

A few weeks?

B*tch!

Alex?

Son of a b*tch!

These dumbasses didn't

hook up the dryer exhaust.

I could hear you all the way

upstairs in the bathroom.

I didn't know I was that loud.

No, it must be the pipes.

Just another charming

idiosyncrasy of this house.

I got it.

You know, I don't like you

leaving the baby alone up there like that.

No, I... I've got the Internet hooked up.

He's just watching porn.

Okay.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you... What are you doing?

Come on.

Play something.

Hey.

I need help with the baby.

Look, I just need you to bathe him for me.

I have to go lie down.

Okay.

Make sure you clean the sink

before you put him in, okay?

Wait. I don't put the baby

in the sink full of dirty dishes?

Shut up.

I'm gonna put you right here.

Right there.

Look at that.

You ready for your bath?

I found Tanner's blankie.

It was in the guest room.

Hey, buddy.

Look what I found in the guest room.

I found your blankie.

Yeah.

Yeah, do you like that?

God, what is the matter with you?

God!

Did you not think to check the water?

I did check it, when I was filling it up.

Oh, my God.

If I hadn't come in here...

I can't even leave

the baby alone with you for one minute.

I can't do everything myself.

No, just go. I've got it. Don't even.

What are you doing on the floor?

Hey.

You're getting heavy.

It's their lunch break.

Let's see if we can get

some sleep for an hour.

Penny?

Penny?

Hey.
