The Black Waters of Echo's Pond Page #3

Synopsis: Nine friends take a holiday at a Victorian home on a private island and uncover a game that when played brings out the worst in each of them. Jealously, greed, hatred, lust, all of the things they keep buried deep inside themselves rise to the surface and come to a boil. The Black Waters of Echo's Pond shows those who look into it what they want to see... but what you want to see isn't always the truth.

Yeah, Veronique, come on.

I promised Renee I wouldn't watch

any of the ball games.

- You gotta suffer too.

- Can't we watch a little TV?

No. Watching TV is the last thing

in the world I want to do out here.

Not even

"Astro Babes from Mars"?

- Get out. Put it on.

- No.

No, seriously, that's embarrassing.

- No way.

- That's embarrassing.

Post. Post.

- Keep it up.

- Hey, over here.

Keep it up. Keep it up.

What are you doing? No.

- What are you doing? No.

- What the f***?

That was a rental, you know.

Looks like there's gonna be

some late fees.

Watch a little--

Oh. Hey.

- Oh, great.

- Hey. Hello. Hello.

That radio station

sucked anyway.

Must be the circuit breakers.

It's an old house. It happens.

- It's okay. I got you.

- Goddamn, Boy Scout.

- A flashlight already, huh?

- Sit tight. It'll just take a minute.

Yeah, hook up some cable

while you're back there, MacGyver.

Come on,

there's got to be a flashlight

or candles around here somewhere.

Guys, come look.

Sh*t, the lights are out

in the whole house.

Anton?

Oh, sh*t!

Dude, you almost gave me

a heart attack.

- Anton, are you okay, sweetie?

- Watch out. Watch out.

- I'm all right.

- I found a flashlight.

Watch your step.

You'll fall through.

You're not gonna believe

what I found here--

a whole 'another room.

These don't work.

Someone must have

sealed this.

Whoa.

Looks like

some sort of game.

Let me see.

Hey, check this out, guys.

It says, "Apollo had forged

a magical flute

from lightning and earth

as a gift to Hades,

the once Eden-like

kingdom of the Pans,

to celebrate

their laughter and song.

But the lure

of the powerful flute

proved far too great

for this once naive, fawn-like race

who soon stumbled

into a deadly feud

- of chaos and destruction."

"Remember,

neither the keenest mind

nor the sharpest wit

is a match for the truest heart.

Each player selects

a game piece..."

Yeah, yeah, we get it.

It's like Monopoly.

You roll the dice

and move a space. Let's play.

- I don't know about this, you guys.

- Randophomos,

the ghost oracle,

- and the carnival of curses.

- Curses.

The haunted forest

of the Furies.

Guys, stop it. Pete's ghost story

really freaked me out.

- Did you guys hear that?

- What?

- Wait, listen. Listen.

- Knock it off.

It's the ghoul of Beacon's Isle!

Stop it. You're scaring me.

- Don't you ever make that face again!

- What's wrong with you? What face?

Did you see that?

Did you see that?

Oh, my God, man.

That was so f***ing creepy.

Did you see that?

"First, on your quest,

you must pass the haunted forest

of the Furies.

Pray that you do not

stop there,

for these three
