Original subtitles

At the end of the last century,

there were, on certain savage northern European coasts,

men who feared neither God nor the law.

They lured ships towards the rocks, where they were smashed to pieces.

These men then plundered the wrecks.

They were called Wreckers.

The captain is their leader.

He is a brute.

His strength gives him power over his henchmen.

He has committed so many crimes that he's become almost mad.

Villagers say he is haunted by the ghosts of his victims.

His madness makes him dangerous and unpredictable.

Le Bosco, cursed by all navies, the dark angel of any crew.

He landed there dead drunk from a foreign ship one night

with his bag on his shoulder.

He follows the captain, but this fallen sailor,

never without his knife, dislikes taking orders.

He bides his time like a vulture.

He is false and crafty.

Paul. He, too, is a former sailor.

He suffers the captain's orders, but grovels to Le Bosco.

He will be on the winner's side.

He is cruel and cowardly,

and, when he's given prey,

he becomes enraged, worse than the others.

He is deceitful, because each of the three thinks he is on his side.

Tina, the wrecker. The angel of the accursed.

Wild and perverted.

This cruel animal is always ready to snap up the innocent

who come too close to her she-wolf jaws.

She will show no pity.

It's a game for her to plunder wrecks and kill survivors.

More than one dead man, his throat cut,

takes with him to the beyond, as a final, hellish vision,

the image of her magnificently shameless naked body.

Help.

Something wrong, Captain?

Leave me alone.

Look.

- Clear off, you drunk. - Get lost.

Now what's the matter? Have you gone mad?

There.

A moment ago.

Didn't you see anything?

Here? I'm the only one here.

Are you afraid of ghosts, Captain?

I thought I saw something.

It's nothing. It's nothing.

It's nothing.

Sounds like he saw a ghost.

Perhaps there was a ghost.

Just for him?

Just for him.

Help.

Bring us some drinks.

A ship has been wrecked on the rocks.

A ship? When?

Only a few hours ago.

How do you know?

Were you there?

It was guided onto the rocks by misleading lights.

On purpose?

Of course it was on purpose.

Shut up.

You know very well there are no Wreckers anymore.

Who knows?

The tide may have washed up the bodies.

I asked you if you were there.

What about you?

- Were you there, Captain? - Me?

I was here.

So, why have you got blood on your shirt?

You're mad. There's nothing there.

God curse the Wreckers.

The sun is rising over the shore.

A sad and grey day.

The tide is out.

I can see two small figures.

They are getting up.

They start walking...

That's enough.

Shut up.

They are still weak.

They support each other and stagger forward.

Be warned.

If they discover the secret of this cursed village,

nothing will stop them from taking revenge.

Let the ghosts come.

I'm not afraid of anyone.

Let them come and see the captain.

God or devil.

Come and have your throats slit.

Come on, then.

Ghosts, come to me.

Phantoms, come to me.

Demons, come to me.

Come back and see the captain.

I challenge you.

You died tonight. I will kill you again.

We have to shut him up or he'll tell them everything.

He's drunk.

I saw your heads smashed against the rocks.

What the hell is going on?

I don't want any trouble here.

It's morning. We're closing now.

Finish your drinks and go.

It happened one windy night

It happened one stormy night

Crashed on the rocks, a stray ship

Leaves two beautiful, innocent girls

A celebration of beauty

Some accursed men were wandering about

Full of wine and alcohol

They plundered the wrecks at night

Innocence destroyed by rape

A celebration of beauty

I should've killed that bastard.

What are you talking about, Louise?

It's only a song, Bosco.

A story about Wreckers.

There are no Wreckers nowadays.

It's just a song, Bosco.

As long as it's just a song.

I don't want to hear your damn song.

It makes me sick. Shit.

There's a curse on this village. The demons are free.

What did you see? Tell me.

There were two ghosts. They were staggering about.

Pale and covered in blood, with crazed eyes.

- There were two women. - Where did you see them?

Over there, by the ship cemetery, near the haunted ruins.

Come with me, you two. Hurry.

The demon has been set free.

God help us.

He has been imprisoned in the ruins for centuries.

Now, he is free.

Misfortune is upon us.

I can sense that he's still in the ruins.

Maybe now, his long wait will be over.

They're here. We must drive them out.

They won't come out alive.

- What if they are ghosts? - There are no ghosts.

We'll be the judge of that.

If they are alive, they must be exhausted.

We'll easily catch them.

We must try to capture them alive.

- Why? - I want to finish them off.

Over here. I can see them.

Give me that.

- They've gone. - They're in one of the wrecks.

We can't search all the wrecks.

Did you see anything, Bosco?

I haven't seen them.

They must still be here.

We must wait until daybreak.

They're trapped. We'll find them eventually.

I know how to drive them out.

Paul, bring your lamp.

Come here, all of you. Le Bosco has an idea.

You come down too.

- Hurry up. - Let's go.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to burn them.

Give me your lantern.

Stay here and tell me if you see them.

Come on, we have to find Tina.

There they are.

There they are. They're heading for the ruins.

The cursed ruins.

Let me go.

You mustn't go there.

Look. They're over here.

Follow me. They're over here.

Come back.

Don't go over there.

Stop. Don't go over there.

Come back.

Follow me.

Come on.

Come on.

Don't go there.

Let go.

Let go of me.

Leave me. Don't touch me.

Leave me alone. I want to get them.

I want to kill them.

For God's sake, let me kill them.

Let go of me.

Don't go there.

Come back here. It's high tide.

You'll be caught in the seaweed.

Stop right here. Are you mad?

Don't go to the ruins.

Come back.

They were in the marshes.

They are wounded.

Let me take care of them.

I'll look after them.

Very well.

You knew the risk you were taking bringing them here.

It's too late now.

Look after them so they can rest.

I'll speak to them afterwards.

I know you are there.

You saw them.

They can set you free if they wish.

But you're the one who has to wait.

They have to come of their own free will.

I've seen how pure they are.

How innocent they are.

I won't intervene,

but I beg you to spare them.

So be it.

Let destiny be fulfilled.

Don't you want to play, Madame Louise?

Last night ended in tragedy.

what happened?

There was a shipwreck.

And the captain thought he saw the ghosts.

Le Bosco was also acting strangely.

And at dawn...

What happened at dawn?

They were in the marshes near the haunted ruins at dawn.

And now...

there they are.

How do you know all this, Madame Louise?

I just know.

What if they're still alive?

For God's sake, shut up.

The captain has shut himself in his house. He's afraid.

You're all insane.

You know who's hidden away in the ruins.

If they made it there.

Two girls...

wounded and exhausted.

I think they must have drowned.

I hope so.

If they are hiding in the ruins and they free...

Don't mention his name.

We don't really know what's hiding in the ruins.

But...

if they manage to get that far...

what will happen?

All I know is that no-one has been there...

for at least a century.

Shut up, you two.

You don't know what you're saying.

Do you understand?

Enough. Stop it.

That's enough.

Come here with me instead.

With you?

All right.

We're not allowed to talk about what's down there, in the ruins.

We all know that we'll be doomed if the forces of darkness are set free.

They can no longer speak.

We have to help them.

You're the only one who can help them.

I will save you.

I will give you back peace.

You needn't be afraid of us.

The ludicrous costume helps keep the villagers away from the ruins.

As for me, I'm the keeper of this tomb.

Try to tell me how I can assist you.

Revenge.

You are free to take your revenge.

The one supposed to be in this tomb is trapped somewhere in these ruins.

He can only be liberated by innocent hands, by victims of evil.

Tonight, he will call you.

He knows you are here.

It's up to you whether or not you want to set him free.

Only he can give you the means to take revenge

and to find peace again.

But he's a black angel,

possessed by a demon.

If you set him free, you will also release his dark forces

which have been locked away for a century now.

The entity imprisoned in these ruins

is someone who was dear to me once.

Right now, he's possessed. Evil lives within him.

The one behind the door is two-faced.

You can find peace there, or death.

It's up to you now.

You can expect him to call you tonight.

You are restless.

I know they will return.

Until I touch their bodies with my own hands,

I won't believe they are dead.

Where do you expect them to be?

They're dead, I tell you.

It's as if I can see them.

I can feel them watching me.

Their spirit is searching my head to find me.

Their hatred won't leave me.

I know they will return.

They can think of nothing else but me.

They're looking for me in order to take their revenge.

Dead or alive, I know they will be back.

I know they will be back.

I saw them in the tavern.

They were covered in blood.

They were watching me.

You don't care, do you? You weren't there.

You don't believe in ghosts.

You're nothing but a bitch in heat.

No, you can't make me forget them.

They will kill us.

They came back from the dead

to tear us apart.

Good for them if they are alive.

I will kill them...

like wicked creatures.

I want to strangle them.

I want to feel their bones breaking between my fingers.

I want to gut them,

drink their blood straight from their wounds.

I'll smash them with my heels and you'll be there to see it.

There will be nothing left of them.

Nothing, nothing, nothing.

I tell you I saw them, as clear as I see you now.

The captain's completely mad. He should be locked up.

He's becoming dangerous.

Everyone seems to know about it.

News travels fast around here. People are staying indoors.

- There's no way they can know. - We've said too much.

There's that sailor who saw the girls in the ship cemetery.

What about Louise?

Did she see anything?

Louise? Yes, perhaps.

She has second-sight.

Tragedy is upon the village.

Tonight he will be free.

Who do you mean?

The one who hides in the ruins.

I can see him.

He is waiting.

He is calling.

I can see you.

Open this door,

so the devil's fury may be unleashed on this cursed land.

Let the death of us all be the price of your life.

Unleash all the forces of evil upon us.

I will give you the power.

Go on.

That's it.

Now, open the door.

Good.

He is free.

You came when I called to you.

I am free

and you will sacrifice your bodies to me.

Come.

You say nothing, but you speak to me with your minds.

I will give you all my power,

so that you may carry out your revenge.

You may go. Now I am within you.

You have all of my power until sunrise.

Once the daylight comes,

you will be just as weak as you were before.

Go now.

You only have a few hours to carry out your revenge.

They're alive.

I saw them. Poor things.

So, Louise, who did you see?

Tell us what you know.

I didn't see anyone.

But I do know everything that happened.

That's the way I am.

I know things I have never seen.

I've heard about your gift of second-sight.

Are they alive?

- They're alive. - Where are they?

Right here.

- No, Bosco. - Calm yourself.

Captain, stop him.

So there you are, my children.

You are very much as I imagined.

Yes, I've seen you before. Here, in my head.

What's your name?

You don't want to tell me?

What about you?

How old are you?

I see. You're not very talkative.

Are you hungry?

Thirsty?

Good, that's a start.

But I would like to hear the sound of your voice.

Maybe you aren't able to speak.

Is that it? Are you mute?

Poor wretches, they are mute.

Monique, bring them some grenadine.

I understand.

You have to leave.

Let me look at you a while longer.

I'm afraid I may never see you again.

Listen, I would never betray you.

You can always think of me as a friend.

Are you afraid of those girls?

Cowards...

You're running away. You're terrified.

I'm not afraid of them. I'm going.

I'll bring you back their heads.

Where are they?

I'm not afraid. I want them.

They just left. They're she-devils. They've left for the hills.

Shut your mouth, bitch. Who asked you?

Help me.

Beware,

the sailors were here. They were intoxicated.

Save yourselves.

There is nothing I can do.

I have no more power left.

Yes, I can save them by myself

if you wait here until daybreak.

You will keep them alive until then.

My powers will leave you and return to me.

I will save them.

Yes, I know what will happen.

You will be left powerless against your enemies.

You will be quite defenceless.

But they will live, thanks to you.

That's good.

It's nearly dawn.

Leave as soon as it's light.

Try to save yourselves.

They will live.

Your revenge escapes you.

In this mad world,

the only thing that might possibly be left for you is generosity.

Do they have to die?

In a short while.

I would like to save them.

They gave us their lives.

Can't you help them?

Nothing can save them now.

No, I cannot leave the ruins.

But their revenge will be carried out.

The four pirates are condemned.

They will perish.

We will go to meet them.

You will be too late.

That doesn't matter.

We've finally got you. You will die here.

You little she-devils.

No magic can save you this time.

You whores.

Take advantage of them one last time.

Rip her to pieces.

More. Again.

Rip.

Worthless.

Bitch.

I hate you, slut.

Hit the slut.

Blood. Yes.

Hurt you.

You like to play?

Hurts, doesn't it?

Just like rats.

You like it.

Stop it. Are you mad?

What are you doing? Are you insane?

What have I done?

They're going to drown.

They're innocent.

Innocent
