All language subtitles for Anthropophagus aka The Savage Island (1980)

- I don't feel well.
- lt's the cable-car.

- What's wrong, Maggie?
- Nothing, I'm okay now.

It's the heir throwing a tantrum.

With all this moνement
he's starting to kick.

Think what he'll do when
we're on the boat.

No, if there was any danger the doctor
would have advised us not to travel.

Anyway, we'll only be making
short trips from island to island.

Don't count on that.

Alan told me he's rented
the boat for a month.

He wants to use it as much as possible
and visit the entire archipelago.

Not with Maggie in this condition.

Then leave us on the first island
and get us on the way back.

- Come dear, sit down.
- Yes, I'd better.

Be careful.

Damn it.

- I'm so sorry.
- It's nothing.

I'll pay for it.
It's the least I can do.

- My husband's always so clumsy.
- I'm sorry.

No, it's nothing.

Excuse me, but I heard you
talking about a boat.

Do you know if there's space
for an extra person?

What?
You want to come with us?

You think Alan would mind
if we brought her along?

No.

I'm meeting some friends
on one of the islands.

Okay.

- Is it a deal?
- Sure.

- I bet he stiIl isn't here.
- As usual.

He's always late.

There he is.

Look at you.

Alan, this is Julie.

A pleasure.

- The pleasure's aIl mine.
- Come on, get in.

- I'm in the front.
- Arnold, come in the back with me.

We have to stop at the
hotel to get the suitcases.

That's the island I need to get to,
about 1 00 miles from the coast.

We could include it in our tour.

It's strange there's no
ferry service to the island.

It isn't that strange at all.

It's practically empty out of season.

There are some families that
are self-sufficient.

It only fills up with tourists in the
summer, I assure you it's a paradise.

- How do they get there?
- They have a boat or hitch a lift.

Unfortunately, l got held up
and I've arrived late.

l would have gone with
my friends three days ago.

- But we wouldn't have met.
- Right!

WelI, are we going to this
paradise or not?

l say we vote on it.
If it's a yes, raise your hand.

Then we're going.
Let's go.

I can't wait to be on the boat.

- How Iong will it take to get there?
- Two days.

- Everyone here?
- Yes, everyone, let's go.

Come on, we're all here.

Give me the bag.

I think it's this one.

Come on.

Don't worry, darling.

It's normal,
I feel a little sick myself.

- Fantastic, isn't it?
- Yes, it's amazing.

Excuse me.

- He didn't hang around.
- I guess not.

Actually, I'm flattered.
He's a nice guy.

I Iike Carol as weIl,
and she's got the hots for him.

Yes, but don't feeI too flattered,
he tries it on with everyone.

- Why don't you like him?
- Not at all, he's fun.

The fact is, Carol's my sister.

- Want to hold the wheel?
- Yes, sure.

Keep an eye on the compass and make
sure it stays in that direction.

It's easier said than done.

- Good.
- Thanks.

This is for the past, this is for the
present, and this is for the future.

Come on, Carol, forget about
the past and the present.

I know them perfectly well.
Tell me about the future.

What do you want to know?

If it's a boy or a girl
and if it will have a happy life.

I want to know all about the baby.

PIace your right hand on the cards.

Good, now choose three
and turn them over.

Now turn another one over
with your right hand.

Well?

Are you going to say something or not?

- What do they say?
- To be honest, l don't know.

Sometimes the cards aren't very clear,
and they don't always say something.

In this case, I can't interpret them.
I don't see anything.

It's all very confusing,
it's never happened before.

I think we should do it again
at another time.

If you ask me they're very clear.

The two knights are
two men by your side.

One of them is Arnold
and the other one is the baby.

So, it's a boy.

The sun is a positive sign,
a sign of strength, security...

and it will protect the two
knights for the rest of their lives.

As for the night, that symbolises
peace and serenity.

- So...
- so, it's time to eat.

If anyone knows where
the can opener is.

I'lI give him a hand
or we'll skip dinner.

But I haven't finished with you,
we'll continue later.

I'd better give them a hand as well.

Thank you, you managed
to find a way to calm Maggie.

Why did you stop?

Because the cards didn't reply,
and I believe in the cards.

And I can't just invent things
when l can't see them clearly.

If the cards didn't reply,
why are you so worried?

If you ask the cards about the
future and you don't get a reply...

then it means there is no future
for the person asking the question.

Aren't you coming to eat?

Good morning.

Maggie's still asleep.

We're not far from the island, right?

If the wind keeps up like this we'll
be there in a couple of hours.

- Do you want one?
- No, thanks.

- Are your friends waiting for you?
- sure.

To be honest,
they're not really friends.

It's a French couple with
a 1 5-year-old daughter.

I keep the girl company and they
pay for my holiday, that's all.

What do you do in winter?

In winter I study languages
at university.

Then, in my free time, l work
for a private television station.

- What do you do?
- Medicine.

Two more exams and I've finished.

And so will the cruises
and the good life.

- Have you argued with Carol?
- No, why?

That's strange, when I woke up
this morning she was already up.

I asked her what was wrong and she said
we shouldn't have let you come with us.

She begged me not to go
ashore on the island.

I couIdn't get anything
else out of her.

But don't worry, Carol's a lunatic,
she has been since she was a child.

It's the all the fault
of those damned cards.

We can't tear her away from them,
it's stronger than her.

- Be careful here.
- You were right to call it a paradise.

- Why don't we stay for a while?
- It's worth a thought.

- Where's the village?
- lt's just behind that ridge.

We'll come with you.

Let's go.

My ankle!

It must be dislocated.
That's all we need.

I don't think I can come
with you, l'm sorry.

- What a shame.
- Get it in water so it doesn't swell.

- Do you want me to stay?
- No, it doesn't matter, you go.

Goodbye, Julie.
Enjoy your stay.

- Do you need anything?
- No, thanks.

- It's strange though.
- What?

- l don't see my friends' boat.
- lt must be moored somewhere else.

There must be another jetty.

There weren't any others
two years ago.

I guess they built another
one in the meanwhile.

I guess.

I noticed there was a strong current
as we approached the island.

I'd already heard about it
from my French friends.

They're very erratic.

Sometimes they push towards land,
and sometimes out to sea.

- They must be influenced by the tide.
- Probably.

I almost died last time.

The current dragged me out
and I couldn't get back.

It feels like a ghost town.

Julie did say it was a
quiet little place.

Anyone around?

- Not a soul in sight.
- They must be in church.

- Looks like it.
- There's a church by the old cemetery.

- But it's deconsecrated and in ruins.
- Let's take a look around.

Come on, Carol.

Let's look in the general store.

That's the telegraph.
It's in poor shape.

Poor shape?
I'd say it's been put out of use.

Aren't there any teIephones
on the island?

It's never been connected
to the continent.

That was the only means
of communication.

Look at this, the last telegram
was sent on the 7th of June.

That's over a month ago.

Something doesn't add up.

Nervous?

- Have you figured out the mystery?
- No.

- Where are the others?
- They're trying to find someone.

Daniel, let's go back.

Look.

A woman.

Then there is someone here.

Let's have a look.

Can we come in?

Is anyone here?

Why don't they answer?

The window!

Look.

"Go away"

There she is.

Come, she's trying to get away.

Can you change the water?
Do you mind?

It's like he was eaten alive.

Nothing.
They've vanished into thin air.

Let's go back to the boat.

Maggie's alone!

Arnold, stop!

What are you going to do?
Are you crazy?

- Let go!
- You won't make it!

They must have sensed
a storm coming.

Yes, that must be it.

The boat will be back again
tomorrow morning.

It's getting dark,
there's nothing more we can do.

We just need to stay calm.

You're right, it's getting dark.

Let's just worry about finding
somewhere to stay for the night.

Let's go to my French friends.
I'm sure they'll put us up.

- Is that all their stuff?
- Yes, but they've disappeared.

lt feels like a nightmare.
What could have happened?

I don't know.

It all seems so absurd.

Someone must have frightened them.

But nobody runs away without taking at
least some of their personal effects.

Unless they were terrified
and simply panicked.

Perhaps an epidemic broke out.

- A fast acting virus.
- No, there's no such virus.

Besides, we would have
found the bodies.

Don't you think?

That woman Daniel saw,
she must know what happened.

She might turn up again.

If that was her intention
we would have seen her by now.

No, I don't think we'll see her again.

Even if she did try to scare us
with that macabre masquerade.

I'd say she succeeded,
even if it might be too late.

What a romantic sight.

Not to pry, but do you prefer to eat
in your room or the dining hall?

Service is included.

- Anyone want some more?
- No, thanks.

We should get Carlo to eat something.

I made him down a bottle of wine and
it's better he sleeps until tomorrow.

Poor Maggie.

We should look for her.
She might have come ashore.

- It would be pointless.
- What do you mean, pointless?

- How can you say something like that?
- Because l feel it.

Like I felt that we should never
have come to this island.

But you didn't listen to me.

I felt it straight away.

But we still got off the boat.

And now it's too late.

There's an eviI presence
on this island.

A presence that won't let us leave.

An inhuman presence driven
by a diabolical force.

I feel the vibrations in the air.

And they're the vibrations
of a horrendous force.

It wilI destroy us.

It will destroy us like it
did all the others.

That's enough.

We'll look for Maggie in the morning.

- Okay?
- Okay.

We'd better get some sleep.
There are two bedrooms.

I suggest we all sleep
in the living room.

Yes.
We can use the sofa.

I heard it as well.
Let's check it out.

Look, the piano.

I'm over here.

Help me.
Let's get him upstairs.

Ariete!

lt's me, JuIie.
Do you remember me?

Calm down.
It's all over.

Steady on!

Shut up, it's nothing serious.

She didn't touch any of your
vital organs, it's just a cut.

Even if it is deep.

Boil some water, clean
the wound, then bandage it.

- How is she?
- lt doesn't look good.

She's very confused.

Who knows how long
she's been down there?

She's the daughter of French
couple I told you about.

- You didn't teIl me she was blind.
- lt happened when she was five...

in a car accident.

- How's Daniel?
- lt's nothing serious.

I'm just worried it might
get infected.

I want to get some antibiotics
from the general store.

- Are you going now?
- Yes, I'd better.

I'll go with Arnold.

Can you hear me?
What happened here in the village?

What happened to your
mother and father?

I don't know.

- But they're scared.
- scared of what?

I don't know.

I call them,
but they don't answer.

Mummy, daddy, where are you?

There's no-one left.

No-one!

Just him.

I can hear him when he's close.

I smell him.

Yes, I'm the only one
who can hear him.

I know when he's close.

- l smelI him.
- Who is he? What smell?

Blood.
He smells of blood.

Blood!

Calm down, it's aIl over.
There's no need to be afraid.

We're here.

- lt isn't too tight?
- No, it's fine, thanks.

Now try to get some sleep.

Where's Julie?

She's upstairs, with the girl.

They should be there.

- I've found them.
- Let's go.

Do you want one?

Thanks.

- Does it hurt?
- No, it's just a scratch.

- You should rest.
- l'd rather keep you company.

When will this storm end?

It's stopped raining but there's
still lots of static in the air.

- You're scared, right?
- Yes.

WelI you don't show it.
You're gorgeous.

You're an exceptional woman.

Julie, l...

I don't know if you've
noticed that...

- No, it doesn't feel right.
- lt's because of Carol, isn't it?

You're wrong, me and Carol are
just old friends, that's all.

- I don't care how things stand.
- Okay, you're not interested.

But I still want to tell you.

CaroI might love me, but she can
never give me what I'm looking for.

Why?
What are you looking for?

I don't know what to call it.

But I know I'll find it with you.

Damn you!
It's all your fault!

Everything that's happening,
it's all your fault!

Damn you!
You'll pay for this!

Listen, l...

- Where is that idiot going?
- Wait, I'll go.

What are you doing?

Open it!

Open the gate!

Where are you going?

What happened?

- Carol ran away again.
- Where is she now?

I don't know, she locked me
in the cemetery and ran away.

- Maybe she's gone back to the house.
- Maybe.

What is it?
What's wrong?

He's here!

He's close.
I can smell him.

Stay calm, l'm here.

Stay calm, l'll lock the door.

Where are you, Daniel?

What's wrong?
Keep moving.

It's pointless, they're dead.

They're all dead, Alan.

CaroI was right,
this pIace is cursed.

That monster's going to kill us all.
Me as well, Alan, I can feel it.

Don't talk nonsense.

The curse, the monster,
it's all bullshit.

lt's true, there's no denying Daniel
was killed by some sort of monster...

but perhaps it's all just the
work of some lunatic.

And we can kill him
before he kills us.

And I say we can't give up
on Maggie and Carol.

Dead or alive,
we've got to find them.

Let's go.

I wonder who this house belongs to?

It must be the Wortmann's, I've never
seen them, but it must be theirs.

KIaus Wortmann was in the
papers a few months ago.

He died at sea on his yacht...

and he disappeared with
his wife and son.

And none of the family are left?

Be careful, Ariete.

A sister, I think.
The papers said she took it badly.

They were very close.

The Wortmann's owned the island.

Their ancestors settled
here almost a century ago.

Let's have a look upstairs.

My god!

Quick, cut the rope.

- Who could it be?
- Ruth, perhaps, Wortmann's sister.

Come here!

Carol, say something!

What happened?

Daniel's dead, isn't he?

Yes.

- How did you know?
- she told me.

- Where is she now?
- she killed herself.

But how did you know?

I don't know,
but she was nice to me.

Even though she behaved strangely.

Last night, before I fell asleep,
she came to me...

and she begged me to forgive her.
Who knows why?

She was distraught.

Look!

The boat!
I knew it.

The current has brought
it back to the island...

and we must try to get to it
before it drifts away.

Wait here.

- How are you feeling?
- A little drowsy.

I think they gave me
some tranquilisers.

- I say we catch up with the others.
- Yes, just let me gather myself.

Please forgive me.
I was very mean to you.

Forget about it.
It's all over now.

But why?
Why did she kill herself?

I don't know.

Something terrible is happening.

- That's her, isn't it?
- Yes.

And that's the brother, the wife,
and son who died at sea.

It was a good family.

- What is it?
- lt's a notebook.

A notebook with handwritten notes.

It looks like a diary.

;'May 12, today they found the
bodies of the two German kids."

"Their horrendous slaughter
has terrorised the village."

I can't make out anymore.
It's all burnt.

You can make out something here.

"Many people have died,
in the village they talk of a monster."

"The tourists are leaving the island,
but he continues killing."

"The police came but they won't
be able to do anything to him."

"I've also hidden the bodies."

"Without the bodies they
don't have any proof."

"I've managed to hide
the entrance to the room."

What does it mean?

- We have to get to the boat.
- Let's split up, you go that way.

I'Il go.
You stay with Ariete.

Yes.

Maggie!

Come.

I'll take you away.

Go away!
Leave us alone!

We haven't done anything to you.

Go away!

Can't you see my wife's pregnant!

She's expecting a baby.
My son!

Our son!

You can't do it.
He's our son!

He's dead, he's just food now,
food to survive.

You'Il never touch him!
He's our son!

Eat me, damn it!

Marta!

Sit down.

Don't worry.

- Julie, where are you?
- I'm over here.

It's horrible, Carol.
That man is a raving lunatic.

Let's get out of here.

Hurry!

- Where are we?
- Quiet, don't speak.
