Transcript
00:00So, this film's story begins with a dense jungle.
00:03Here, there was a house in the middle of the jungle.
00:06They used to live a family, in which there was a mother and her two children.
00:09One of the children's name was Sam, and the other's name was Nolan.
00:13These people have been living here for a long time,
00:16because their mother believes that the human world is over.
00:19A bad force has destroyed everything, which spread like a virus.
00:24And the name of that thing is evil, which means evil or bad.
00:28This evil was a face-changing entity.
00:31The one who touches a human, he goes crazy like a human.
00:34He loses his control and kills his own people mercilessly,
00:38to trap a human so that he is deceived.
00:40That entity changes its form and comes in front of that human.
00:44That human is then forced to go near it and touch it.
00:47And this is how the world is destroyed.
00:49But this family was somehow saved, because they had made their house in such a way,
00:54that they can escape from that entity in every way.
00:57Now that entity, that evil, could go anywhere.
01:01But he can't come to this house, so that his life is not in danger.
01:05Now if they had to go out of the house, then a rope would tie itself and come out.
01:09The rope was especially tied to the house, so the evil could neither touch the rope,
01:13nor could it harm a person tied to the rope.
01:15Now with the help of the ropes, she was surviving in the middle of the jungle.
01:20That is, she was still alive.
01:21With the help of the rope, she would go out to find food.
01:24And there was a greenhouse nearby, in which she used to grow fruits and vegetables.
01:28But the evil was always around her.
01:30The surprising thing was that she was only seen by the children's mother.
01:34The children had not seen her yet.
01:36But her mother had explained that she can come to you as an evil animal.
01:40And you won't even know that she is an entity.
01:42So if you leave the house without a rope, and the evil touches you, then everything will be over.
01:47But even after taking so much care, it was very difficult to live.
01:51Because it is obvious that this is a jungle.
01:53So there was a lot of shortage of food.
01:55She also had a dog, which she used to give very little food.
01:58Because those poor people had less food.
02:00So what would she give him?
02:01Now the mother had made some rules.
02:03Which she used to remind her children again and again.
02:06So that she doesn't make any mistakes.
02:07In addition, she used to tell them such stories.
02:10So that the children understand how dangerous it is outside.
02:14She also tells them that your dad was also touched by an evil.
02:17Because of which I had to kill him.
02:19Moreover, this evil has come in front of me many times.
02:22Sometimes as my dad.
02:23Sometimes as my mom.
02:25And sometimes as my husband.
02:27Once he came in the form of a little girl.
02:29Who was pretending to be injured.
02:31But I didn't help her.
02:32But killed her.
02:32Because I knew how evil she was.
02:35After which these people go to sleep.
02:36But the voice of a frog.
02:38Was not letting mom sleep.
02:40When she went to check outside.
02:41She realized that there was no frog here.
02:43Because of which she understands.
02:45That this is the work of evil.
02:46In addition, she also saw that terrible evil.
02:50Which scares her a lot.
02:51But ignoring it, she came back inside.
02:53From this, we can guess.
02:54How dangerous this evil is.
02:56And how they have to fight death every day.
02:58Anyway, the next morning.
03:00Mom decides to go to the jungle.
03:01With her two children.
03:03To find food.
03:04Before going.
03:04She also prays.
03:06That our home protects us.
03:07After coming to the jungle.
03:09She collects what she gets to eat.
03:10Whether it's a frog.
03:11A frog.
03:12Any animal.
03:13Whatever it is.
03:14It should be edible.
03:15Because in the winters.
03:16They were more difficult.
03:17So what she didn't eat.
03:19She had to eat.
03:20Here we notice that Sam and Nolan.
03:21Although they are brothers.
03:23But there is a lot of difference between them.
03:24Like Sam used to believe.
03:26All the rules made by his mother.
03:28And he also believed them.
03:29That they were telling the truth.
03:30But Nolan had a little doubt.
03:31That's why sometimes he hid.
03:33And even broke his mother's rules.
03:35He wants to know how evil looks like.
03:37Is it real or not?
03:38Or my mother will be scared like this.
03:40And is the outside world really over?
03:42And is there any danger there?
03:43He has asked this question to his mother many times.
03:46But she tells him.
03:47That this is all a trick of the devil.
03:49He is putting these things in your mind.
03:51So that you doubt me.
03:52You are suspicious of me.
03:53You go out.
03:54And he hunts you.
03:54That's why you can't see evil.
03:56Now.
03:57While looking for food.
03:58Nolan saw an egg of a frog.
04:00One of them falls down.
04:02Now Nolan's rope was not so long.
04:04That he could go down and pick up the egg.
04:06If he wants to do this.
04:07Then he has to open the rope and go down.
04:09He was going to do this.
04:10But his brother Sam.
04:11Refuses to do this.
04:13By saying that as soon as the rope opens.
04:15Evil will come to you.
04:16And kill you.
04:17Now.
04:18At his brother's behest.
04:19Nolan does not open the rope for now.
04:21But when he started going from here.
04:23Then he put his foot on Sam's rope.
04:25Because he was getting angry at all these things.
04:27Due to which Sam's rope opened.
04:29And he falls down.
04:31His foot gets stuck in the roots of the tree.
04:33And gets injured.
04:34Now.
04:34Because the rope is stuck.
04:36Nolan is not able to help him.
04:38That's why he whistles.
04:39And starts calling his mother for help.
04:41But we see that here's Sam.
04:43Starts feeling a strange fear.
04:44And his mother heard the whistle.
04:46So she tied the rope.
04:47And started moving towards him quickly.
04:49But after some distance.
04:50His rope is over.
04:52She can't reach there.
04:53That's why now mom opens the rope.
04:55And goes down to him quickly.
04:56And both of them come up.
04:58With the children.
04:58But then we see an old and downy woman.
05:01That evil.
05:02Whose tongue was very strange.
05:04And she starts moving towards them.
05:06But at the right time.
05:07Mom tied herself and her children with the rope.
05:09Now evil was only visible to mom.
05:12The children were not able to see her.
05:14But seeing their mom nervous.
05:16They understand that evil is nearby.
05:18After which mom comes home with them.
05:20Mom was very angry with them.
05:22That's why she told them to.
05:23Break a rule.
05:24She actually wanted to check.
05:25If my children remember that rule.
05:27Because if the child doesn't break the rule.
05:29It means that evil has taken over them.
05:32But after saying both the rules.
05:33She was convinced that.
05:34Thank God both are fine.
05:36But Sam's leg was very injured.
05:38Maybe his bone was broken.
05:40Now mom had made a place like a basement in the house.
05:42Where she used to lock her children.
05:44So that they think about evil.
05:45Imagine it.
05:46That it is real.
05:47And feel fear thinking about it.
05:49So that they can stay alive.
05:50Because fear keeps a person alive.
05:52Now whenever mom was sitting outside the house.
05:55Evil always used to come to talk to her.
05:57To trap her.
05:58Like today he comes in the form of her husband to talk.
06:01But mom avoids him.
06:02After that incident in the jungle.
06:04Now Nolan's suspicion had increased.
06:06That there is nothing here.
06:07And he also asked his brother about this.
06:09That when your rope was untied.
06:11Did you feel anything strange?
06:13Or did you see anything?
06:14Sam says I don't remember.
06:16Nolan says I remember my brother.
06:18I didn't feel anything strange.
06:20Nor did I see anything like that.
06:21So I don't think there is any evil.
06:23Maybe it's all our mom's imagination.
06:25It's her imagination.
06:26Who knows the outside world is still there.
06:29But Sam was not interested in his words.
06:31Because he had faith in his mother.
06:33Now Nolan also has a sleeping disorder.
06:35That's why his mom tied bells on his feet.
06:38So that when he wakes up from bed.
06:39He should know.
06:40Because it shouldn't happen.
06:41That he goes out of the house and sleep.
06:43Mom told the child that I used to live in the city.
06:46When all this didn't start.
06:47I was a different person before.
06:48But when the whole world ended.
06:50Then I also changed completely.
06:52I didn't come here.
06:52And now we are trying to stay alive.
06:54Mom also had a snake tattoo on her neck.
06:57She said that I saw evil in the form of a snake many times.
07:01That's why I made this tattoo.
07:02So that evil can't recognize me.
07:04Now Nolan tells his mom.
07:06Mom, it's possible that other people are still alive.
07:09How can our house be special?
07:11Then his mom replied.
07:12Son, you should be thankful that you are alive.
07:14And don't think too much.
07:15This house can only protect us.
07:18Now time passed slowly.
07:19And they don't have any food.
07:21That's why mom has to force both the kids.
07:23To eat the leaves and branches of the tree.
07:25Although they can't eat it.
07:27But they have to eat it.
07:27Now one day Nolan had a bad dream.
07:29That evil was pulling me into the well.
07:32When he woke up.
07:33It was night.
07:34And he was outside the house.
07:35Even without a rope.
07:36Because while walking in sleep.
07:38He came here.
07:39And he couldn't find out.
07:40But his mom comes out quickly.
07:41And takes him inside.
07:43She asked him questions.
07:44And started testing him.
07:45So that she can check if he is a devil.
07:47After which she locked him down.
07:48So that he feels the fear of evil.
07:50And his soul becomes completely pure.
07:53Becomes clean.
07:54Which was mom's thought.
07:55But after this incident.
07:56Nolan is sure that there is no evil.
07:59If there was.
07:59He wouldn't have killed me that night.
08:00He then tells his brother.
08:02That we have to get out of here.
08:03To the outside world.
08:04Because I believe that the world is still there.
08:07And there is no danger there.
08:09Mom has gone mad.
08:10She won't leave here.
08:11But if we stay here.
08:12Then we will die of hunger.
08:13Then Sam asks.
08:15But mom what about them?
08:16Now we can't leave them alone here.
08:18When their talks were going on.
08:19Mom stands outside.
08:21And listens to everything.
08:22Which hurts her a lot.
08:23The next morning.
08:24She shows the kids her old pictures in camera.
08:27With the camera.
08:28Mom made a picture of herself.
08:30And her kids.
08:31She did this.
08:32Because she was afraid.
08:33That my kids might leave me.
08:35Then she tells her kids.
08:36That I am very sorry to say.
08:38That we have run out of food.
08:39So now we have to kill the dog.
08:40And eat it.
08:41We will survive by eating it for a month.
08:43After hearing this.
08:45Nolan felt bad.
08:46Because he liked that dog a lot.
08:48So he started questioning again.
08:49His mom says.
08:50Did you see?
08:51This is all that evil is doing.
08:53He is doing this against us.
08:54So that we can kill all three.
08:56But even though she doesn't want to.
08:58Mom gets ready with her crossbow.
09:00To kill the dog.
09:01But before that.
09:02She kills him.
09:03Here comes Nolan.
09:04What a knife in his hand.
09:05He says.
09:06There is no evil here.
09:07Listen to me.
09:08Which he says.
09:09And cuts his mom's rope.
09:11And locks them in the greenhouse.
09:12So that he can explain to them.
09:13That there is no evil here.
09:15Their fear is useless.
09:17But then evil comes in the form of a woman.
09:20In front of his mom.
09:21He starts moving towards his mom.
09:23His mom didn't want to die by his hands.
09:25Because this way he would have killed both the kids.
09:27So she takes a piece of glass.
09:29And cuts his throat.
09:30And this way his mom dies.
09:32Sam had also given all this.
09:33That Nolan has locked his mom inside.
09:36Without a rope.
09:36He quickly ran.
09:37And came.
09:38He removes Nolan.
09:39But when he came inside.
09:41And saw his mom's body.
09:42He completely breaks down.
09:43He starts crying.
09:44Seeing this.
09:45Nolan also felt bad.
09:47He was regretting.
09:48That he didn't listen to his mom.
09:49And made a big mistake.
09:51And now he also starts believing.
09:53With all his heart.
09:53That yes.
09:54There is really evil.
09:55And he ties the rope to himself.
09:57But Sam's health was getting worse.
09:59Because he was not getting proper treatment.
10:01Moreover.
10:02The situation was more difficult for him.
10:04Because his mom died.
10:05So now he will have to somehow keep himself alive.
10:08He was living his life according to the rules made by his mother.
10:12But obviously she was facing a lot of difficulties.
10:15Like lack of food.
10:16One day when Nolan was looking for food in the jungle.
10:20He comes to the road while walking.
10:21He called out for help.
10:22But he didn't see anyone there.
10:24But when he came back home.
10:25A man comes behind him.
10:26He says that I heard your voice.
10:28So I was calling for help.
10:29Are you okay?
10:30What help do you want?
10:31I'm a hacker.
10:31I was passing by with my son.
10:33Who heard your voice.
10:34And came here to help you.
10:35But Nolan thought that this was the evil.
10:38Who came behind me in the form of a hacker.
10:40He wanted to help but the kids.
10:42Couldn't believe him.
10:43Sick Sam comes out of the house with his mom's crossbow.
10:46To which he taunts that man.
10:47Although his condition was not good.
10:49But because of his mother.
10:50He was very angry at the evil.
10:52And he wanted to take revenge on her.
10:54On this.
10:55The man tries to relax him.
10:57And explain.
10:57That look.
10:58I didn't kill your mother.
10:59I don't even know about the evil you are taking the name of.
11:02Nor have I ever seen your mother.
11:03I didn't come here.
11:04To cause any harm.
11:06I am leaving.
11:07After hearing this.
11:08Nolan tells Sam.
11:09Brother.
11:10I don't know if he is right.
11:11He is a human.
11:12Not an evil.
11:13So don't kill him.
11:14But Sam was very eager to take revenge.
11:16Where is he going to kill?
11:17As soon as the man started going from there.
11:20Sam attacks him with a crossbow.
11:21The arrow hit his back.
11:23Due to which the man is badly injured.
11:25He ran away to the jungle.
11:26Nolan follows him.
11:28Where that man was not able to breathe.
11:30But still he called for help.
11:31Nolan comes home with his bag.
11:33When he opens the bag.
11:34He finds food.
11:35Some important stuff.
11:36And pictures.
11:37Which made him realize that that man was a human.
11:40Now.
11:40Because he was hungry.
11:42For a long time.
11:43So he gets hungry.
11:44At night.
11:45Sam heard a voice from outside.
11:46When he came out to check.
11:48There was a girl.
11:48Who was saying that I have come.
11:50To find my dad.
11:51My dad told me to stay in the car.
11:53But it's night.
11:54He didn't come back.
11:55Sam was shocked to hear this.
11:56He was also sad that I took the life of a real human.
11:59That's why he tells the girl the truth.
12:01That I thought he was a devil.
12:03That's why I killed him by mistake.
12:05The girl got scared after hearing this.
12:07She starts running.
12:08Sam also runs after him.
12:09But his fear is overpowering him.
12:12He starts seeing evils all around him.
12:14The scene cuts here.
12:15And comes to Nolan.
12:16Who went to the jungle.
12:17To find his brother.
12:18But he felt like the evil has taken my brother under its control.
12:22When he came home.
12:23He found Sam in the same room.
12:25But he was missing.
12:26He was completely changed.
12:27He tries to kill his brother.
12:29After which he sets the house on fire.
12:31He imprisons Nolan inside the house.
12:33Where he could see his mother.
12:34He goes down and hides.
12:36And faces the truth.
12:37Because of the fire.
12:39The rescuers come to save him.
12:40And both of them are taken out of the jungle.
12:43Nolan sees that the world is not over.
12:46It was all a lie that his mother had told.
12:48In fact she was kept in captivity.
12:50The world was still the same.
12:51It was inhabited.
12:52After this.
12:54We see Sam's camera in the same jungle.
12:56In his picture.
12:57He made this picture when he set the house on fire.
13:00Where Sam's shoulder had the evil's hand.
13:02From which we understand that the evil was there.
13:04But only in his family.
13:06Not in the outside world.
13:07And his mother had kept him here.
13:08By lying to the rest of the world.
13:10So that he could not go to the outside world.
13:13Because obviously.
13:14The evil would have gone with him.
13:15And he would have destroyed the whole world.
13:17But now that the evil has gone out with Sam.
13:20So now.
13:20Maybe no one could save the world from being destroyed.
13:23And even if what his mother had said was true.
13:26That the evil destroyed the whole world.
13:28And with this terrible ending.
13:30This movie ends here.
13:31That's it for today's video.
