- Not here.
- The f*ckin' usual.
So no big deal these days, right?
Some guy, what's his name?
- Uh, I don't know.
- Who knows, who cares.
Who cares.
F*ckin'.
Shoots his wife and kid,
and eats the f*ckin' licorice.
Sticks it in his mouth
and blows his f*ckin' brains out.
This guy has no ID,
no f*ckin' papers.
He probably squirreled over
the goddamn border.
Hey guys.
Channel 13.
Listen up, you're kind of blocking the shot,
can I get you to move forward a bit?
- Yeah sure.
- Thanks.
- You Ready?
- Yeah, almost.
Two minutes. (inaudible)
and we'll roll.
- Can't get close enough for an Emmy.
- Screw the Emmy!
- Settle for a f*ckin' paycheck.
- Story of my life.
We downloaded this video off the internet
sometime over the last three days,
I can't remember
exactly when.
Look at this guy.
Look at this f*ckin' guy!
Chowing down while his buddies are
shoving a corpse in the back of the van.
Some of this footage
was never broadcast.
It was secretly uploaded by
the cameraman who shot it.
It was his way of trying to tell the truth
about what was happening.
Bree Reno, reporting live
from Homestead,
where tragedy be-felled
an immigrant family.
An unidentified man has shot his
wife and 16 year old son to death
before turning the
gun on himself.
- Jesus!
- What?
- I don't believe this!
- What?
Is there something wrong with
the camera, just fix it!
She's still moving!
For Christ sake, Willy,
I'm right in the middle of...
- What?
- Jesus f*ckin' Christ!
For god's sake!
- I thought they were dead.
- They're supposed to be, they are!
I don't know, she's moving on
the freakin' gurney man!
- Get out of the way, come on.
- I need some backup here.
Get off of him!
- Are you all right?
- Jesus, what the f*ck was that?
- Keep still.
- The other ones moving!
Another one coming up too.
Take them out!
He's not going down.
He's not going down!
Holy shit!
Freeze!
You must shoot
them in the head!
No! No!
This can't be happening!
This can't be f*ckin' happening!
We downloaded a lot of what we found
off on television, on the net, off blogs.
Images and commentaries
over those first few days.
Most of it was bullshit.
None of it was useful.
This is what we were getting
from the news networks.
None of us can
claim to know exactly
what has caused the chaos,
that we've stand from experience.
A natural calamity or sort of
a massive or monstrous hoax?
I'm old enough to
remember Orson Wells'
'War of the World's,' possibly the
greatest hoax ever perpetrated.
That was just radio.
Now, its 24/7.
This is some kind of...
we are led to believe
almost anything...
We made a film,
the one I'm going to show you now.
Actually, Jason was the
one who wanted to make it.
Like that camera man
from Channel 13,
He wanted to upload it so that people,
you, could be told the truth.
The film was shot with a
Panasonic HDX-900-and a HVX-200.
I did the final cut
on Jason's laptop.
I've added music occasionally
for effects, hoping to scare you.
You see, in addition to
trying to tell you the truth
I am hoping to scare you,
so that maybe
you'll wake up.
Maybe you won't make any of
the same mistakes that we made.
Anyway, here it is:
Jason Creed:
The Death of Death.
No!
Cut! Cut!
How many times have I told you
that these things don't move fast?
You're a corpse,
for Christ sake!
If you run that fast,
your ankles are gonna snap off.
She's going fast, I have to go fast,
otherwise how am I supposed to catch her?
You're supposed to catch her later.
This is the beginning of the f*ckin' movie.
