The Barrens Page #3

Synopsis: This movie is about the Vineyard family and their trip to the New Jersey Pine Barrens. There is a legend that the Jersey Devil lives in these woods. It came about after a woman known as Mother Leeds had 13 children, but she offered up the 13th child to the Devil so she and her other children didn't have to leave their house as they were going to be forced out by the town folk because she was having too many kids in the area back in the 1700s. So it's now the present, and the Vineyard family are going to camp there so the father (Stephen Moyer) can release his father's ashes. But while there they hear that someone has gone missing, and Richard (Moyer) thinks it's the work of the Jersey Devil. So they move their camp site to get away from the rest of the campers only to find that they're in more trouble than they were before. But is the legend of the Jersey Devil real, or is it just another story?

to get themseIves caught up in it.

The more determined ones,

weII, they'II do whatever they can

to free themseIves.

- Yeah.

Oh, by the way, you're going to want

to lock up your food at night.

Tie it up to a tree branch,

not in your tent.

Is that reaIIy necessary?

WeII, we had an incident

a couple weeks back.

- What kind of incident?

- It was a bear attack.

A coupIe campers stumbIed

across a bear feeding

and the bear got defensive.

You know how it goes.

I thought bears were not indigenous

to the Pine Barrens.

There's only a handful of them

and usuaIIy they do keep to themseIves,

but, Iisten, just stick to the traiIs

and you'll be fine.

- You have a great time.

- Thanks.

- It's so freaking Iame.

- It's pretty Iame, eh?

Yeah, totaIIy.

( Iaughing )

Richard:

Who's your new friend, Sade?

- Just some guy.

- Yeah?

How oId is "just some guy"?

- Ow. Can you heIp me?

- Oh, are you okay?

- It stiII hurts.

- Still?

( heavy metaI music pIaying )

SeriousIy?

- Say cheese, buddy.

- ( laughing )

( ceII phones ringing )

It's hot.

Yeah. It is hot.

The sun's setting,

so it wiII cooI down in a few minutes.

Take a Iook at what I'm doing,

Danny boy.

You're going to have to know

how to set up your own tent someday.

Hey, wiII you do me a favor?

In the top of my backpack is my knife.

Can you get it for me?

Be carefuI.

Whew.

( growIing )

Danny!

- Richard!

- ( groans )

- Here, Richard.

- ( screams )

BIood-- bIood must have gone

to my head.

Here. Okay.

- Let's get up.

- No.

Hi.

So... you coming?

- Coming where?

- To the campfire.

Where you can have s'mores

and hot dogs,

and there wiII be ghost stories.

Camping, what do you think?

I wanted to set my own fire.

WeII, we can do that Iater.

- AII right.

- Okay. I'II meet you out there.

Man:
Oh, you missed it. 10 minutes

before your guys showed up to camp,

a family of deer

waIked right through the site.

Richard:
When we were coming here,

a deer waIked in front of the car

and somebody

had removed its antIers.

The ranger said that they had

probabIy been torn off on a fence.

It wasn't a fence.

- I'm sorry?

- The deer and his antIers.

- It wasn't a fence that tore them off.

- Okay. What was it then?

It was the Leeds DeviI.

- Oh-ho, Jersey DeviI.

- Ooh.

Both:

Ghost story time.

Baby, you reaIize

this is just a story, aII right?

Well, you know,

I'm going to go take a dump,

so I'II see you guys in a bit.

Nice. LoveIy.

AII right, so the Jersey DeviI.
