A mysterious killer video tape is circulating around. One look at this tape and you have seven days left to live. News reporter Cindy Campbell witnesses this video tape and tries to work out a way to prevent her death. But that's not all. Crop circles have been appearing in the local corn fields. Is this extra-terrestrial as well as paranormal activity?

It's the way most horror films start. Two beautiful, scantily-dressed women alone together in a large, luxurious house scaring each other with ghost stories. Am I right?
Kate
Oh, come on. You're beautiful. I wish I had your legs.
Becca
I wish I had your butt.
Kate
I wish I had your...
Becca
Shaved pu**y?
[BECCA brings a Sphynx cat into frame and it meows]
Nobody's getting Snowball.
Clip 2
You watch the video. Your phone rings. A voice says you'll die in seven days. That's the way it goes, right? No. Not this time around, it isn't.
[The phone rings and KATE answers it]
Kate
Hello?
[KATE listens for a few seconds and then passes the handset to BECCA]
Becca
Hello?
Caller
I'm coming for you, my precious.
Becca
Oh. Hi, Mom.
Caller
Hi, Precious. Having fun?
Kate
[Walking away from BECCA in the direction of a bedroom]
Ask her which bathroom has a detachable shower head.
Clip 3
Cindy is collecting Cody from childcare and who should be running the place but Brenda. Remember her? From Scary Movie 2?
Brenda
Anyone new in your life, Cindy?
Cindy
Well, you know... I just haven't found the right guy. I'm looking for something more than just good sex.
Brenda
I know. You want commitment.
Cindy
No. I want great sex. And when I meet that guy -
Brenda
That's what I'm talking 'bout. You wanna guy that's gonna hit that thing hard, like... BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!...
[BRENDA has been demonstrating this in full-view of CODY and CINDY shields her nephew's eyes]
And then flip you over and come at you from the other side... D-O-DOUBLE-G!
[BRENDA notices a child staring at her]
DID I SAY STOP DRAWING?
[Returning to CINDY]
And then he'll look at you... like he gonna cut you.
Cindy
Oh, Brenda. You're so romantic.
Brenda
I guess!
Clip 4
You remember Cole Sear from The Sixth Sense, right? The little boy who could see dead people? Well, in this movie that character is Cody. And he can see into the future as well as ghosts.
Cindy
Honey... what is it? Are you having one of your visions?
Cody
There's a girl. With black hair. She wants to kill you. Your period starts in three... two... one...
Cindy
[Clutches her stomach and gasps as though suddenly wracked by abdominal cramps]
What else? Cody, what else do you see?
Cody
I see a little boy and a grown woman but no father.
Cindy
Oh, Cody.
Cody
I see you kneeling in dog sh*t.
Cindy
What?
[She realises that in kneeling to speak to CODY, she has indeed knelt in dog poop]
Cindy
What? Eurgh! Oh, for God's sake.
Clip 5
You need a babysitter. Fine. There are agencies for that. My advice? DON'T choose a Catholic priest. Not that all priests are predators but Father Muldoon? Yeah. He's got to be on the register.
Cindy
Father Muldoon!
Father Muldoon
Cindy.
Cindy
I'm so grateful you could come.
Father Muldoon
Oh...
Cindy
I've called all over for babysitters.
Father Muldoon
I don't mind filling in now and then. Where is little Cody?
[We hear footsteps running away and a door slamming closed]
Cindy
I don't know. He must be back in his room, playing. Anyway, make sure Cody washes everywhere. Also, he has a little rash on his behind. Could you rub this lotion on his little bottom? Just apply it liberally. Thank you, Father. Good night.
[CINDY exits through front door leaving FATHER MULDOON alone in her apartment with CODY]
Father Muldoon
Cody!
Clip 6
When you have sad news to impart to a young child, you need to take your time. Stay calm. Stay focussed. And be perceptive to the impact on the child. Right, George?
George
Sue's teacher, Brenda. She's... she's dead.
Tom
Oh. I'd better tell her.
George
No, no, no. I can do it.
[GEORGE approaches SUE who is sat on a stool watching TV]
Sue?
Sue
Yes?
George
You know your teacher, Miss Brenda?
Sue
Yeah.
George
SHE'S DEAD!
[SUE begins to scream as GEORGE loses it and starts shouting and crying hysterically]
GONE FOREVER! DIED A HORRIBLE, PAINFUL DEATH! GONE, GONE, GONE... JUST LIKE YOUR DOG.
Sue
My dog's dead?
George
I JUST RAN HIM OVER WITH THE CAR WHEN I DROVE IN! EVERYONE YOU LOVE AROUND YOU IS DYING!
[GEORGE and SUE begin screaming alternately]
Clip 7
Sayaman blames himself for the death of Tom's wife. But that's not all he's guilty of. Just listen to this litany of wrong-doings. Jesus...
Sayaman
Hello, Father.
Tom
Don't call me Father. I haven't been a clergyman since...
Sayaman
I'm sorry about that night but... if I hadn't fallen asleep while driving for that exact twenty minutes. If I hadn't drank that exact whole bottle of Jägermeister. If I hadn't raped and mutilated that exact mullato hitch-hiker.
Tom
Sayaman...
Sayaman
If I hadn't been caught in that exact motel room with those exact twin boys.
Tom
Sayaman. I don't see what any of this has to do with Annie.
Sayaman
I'm sorry. Those were other nights. But if it had been that night, I might have missed her.
Clip 8
Tom has stumbled upon a tragic car accident. Doubly tragic because his beloved wife, Annie is pinned to a tree by a pick-up and only the vehicle itself is keeping her alive.
Tom
Look... I don't understand all this fancy medical lingo. I wanna see Annie.
Trooper Champlin
She's split in half.
Tom
You mean, like... down the middle in half?
Trooper Champlin
At the waist.
Tom
You mean this is the last time I can talk to the top half?
Trooper Champlin
Yes. The truck is the only thing that is holding her together.
Tom
[Produces a donut from his pocket]
Well, let's say this is her bottom half. Can I squeeze in a few minutes with that?
Trooper Champlin
I'm not... sure what you mean.
Tom
Let me explain...
Trooper Champlin
Tom! Go to her.
Clip 9
It's Tom's final few moments with the one true love of his life. One final hug. One final kiss. One final promise... that he just can't make.
Annie
Honey. Kiss me one last time.
[They kiss and when TOM draws back, he plucks a sparkplug from his mouth and drops it to the floor]
Annie
Promise me you'll never re-marry.
Tom
I promise.
Annie
And no sex, either.
Tom
I... I'm sorry, I didn't... catch that.
Annie
Uh, no sex.
Tom
Honey, you're not speaking clearly. Your injuries must be awful.
Annie
No sex.
Tom
Oh, cruel fate to shroud my wife's dying words in mystery.
Annie
No sex. NO SEX!
Tom
Poor Annie. We hardly knew her. She'll be missed terribly.
Annie
Oh, Jesus.
Tom
That's right, Honey. Go into the light.
Annie
Look! Just tell George, "swing away."
Tom
Right. Swing away.
Annie
Oh, sure. That you understand.
[ANNIE succumbs to her injuries]
Tom
Annie? ANNIE!
Clip 10
Cody. He's a creepy little fu*ker. Not the sort of child you want mingling with the mourners at a wake.
Cindy
Cody!
Cody
[Addressing a PREGNANT WOMAN]
It's a boy. He's going to be an a**hole.
[To a MAN SMOKING A CIGARETTE]
Smoke all you want. You're gonna get hit by a bus.
[To a MAN WEARING A TOUPÉE]
That's not fooling anyone.
Clip 11
Aunt ShaNeequa is a spiritualist medium. Cindy has gone to her to discuss the video she saw and her likely impending death.
Aunt ShaNeequa
Please. Sit.
[CINDY sits in a large, red armchair and a sound suspiciously similar to a fart is heard]
Cindy
It was the chair.
Aunt ShaNeequa
Hmm.
[Sits in an identical armchair but this is definitely a fart]
Hmm. Yes. The chair.
Clip 12
It's annoying when someone else finishes your sentences for you, isn't it? Makes you want to punch them in the face after a while, doesn't it? Even if that person is a spiritualist medium.
Cindy
So, can you tell me about -
Aunt ShaNeequa
The tape?
Cindy
Yes. I watched it and -
Aunt ShaNeequa
The phone rang.
Cindy
Right and then this voice said -
Aunt ShaNeequa
That you would die in seven days.
Cindy
Okay, that's getting -
Aunt ShaNeequa
Extremely annoying.
Cindy
Yeah.
Orpheus
Try being married to her. I catch sh*t about women I ain't slept with yet!
Clip 13
If you're awoken by spooky singing from your child's bedroom and you go in to find her covered with a white sheet playing with creepy marionettes, it's probably not your daughter under there.
Tom
Sue?
Sue
I can't sleep.
Tom
Well, it's way past your bedtime.
Sue
Why don't you rock me to sleep in your big, strong arms? There's plenty of room under the covers. It's a hot night. You don't need to wear pyjamas.
Tom
Where is my daughter?
Sue
Are you mad? I am your daughter.
Tom
No, you're not.
[TOM rips away the sheet that was covering the person on the floor only to discover MICHAEL JACKSON hiding beneath it]
Michael Jackson
[Screams]
Tom
Come here. What did you do with Sue?
Michael Jackson
I didn't touch her. I swear.
Tom
I don't believe you.
Michael Jackson
Please, for God's sakes... she's a girl!
Tom
Oh, you sick...
[A fight predictably breaks out]
Clip 14
Cindy's a News Anchor and wants to report on the death tape live on air. Her producer is against it. But that doesn't stop her getting to the teleprompter keyboard.
New Anchor
Meanwhile, a tornado in Charleston threatens a clothing-optional beach where, just yesterday, a naked couple was brutally murdered. This just five miles from the spot...
Cindy
[Running up to the AUTOCUE OPERATOR and knocking him aside on his wheeled chair]
I'm sorry. I have to do this.
News Anchor
...where the last naked couple was brutally murdered. Turning now to sports. And an evil videotape that kills anyone who watches it in seven days. It's true. We're all in danger. There's an alien force out there...
Carson
[Seeing this broadcast on a monitor]
Oh, no.
News Anchor
...that's trying to prevent you from knowing the truth.
Carson
[Approaching CINDY]
Campbell, are you insane?
News Anchor
Trust me, it's a horrible fate.
Cindy
Carson, I have to do this.
[CARSON takes control of the keyboard]
News Anchor
Do you hear me? Correction, there really is no danger. Actually, I didn't really mean anything I just said. Yes, I did. Every word of it. Everyone watching this could be dead in a week.
[The STUDIO CLEANER joins in the struggle causing the teleprompter to produce gibberish that the NEWS ANCHOR promptly reads]
News Anchor
(Gibberish) 1-3-4-19... 4-6-9...
[The STUDIO CLEANER now has control]
News Anchor
I been cleaning after this dumb-ass cracker, Giggins, for 10 years. But I been waxing his b**ch's ass for 12. Know what I'm saying, nig**r? I ride that ho like your mama rides the bus. She likes her some chocolate. Sharpton for President, y'all. I'm outty.
Clip 15
The President of the United States is meant to be composed, dignified and calm, even in a crisis. So quite where this came from is anyone's guess.
President
These men died for their country. Send flowers to their b**ches and hoes.
