Synopsis:
牠們 (They)

以四名成年人為中心,他們正在經歷夜驚,並試圖應對他們之前童年經歷的影響

Centered on a group of four adults experiencing night terrors and attempting to deal with the fallout from their prior childhood experiences

1983 年,一個名叫比利·帕克斯 (Billy Parks) 的小男孩從噩夢中醒來後受到驚嚇,難以入睡。 他的母親瑪麗向他保證,他認為壁櫥裡的怪物是虛構的。 當他試圖再次入睡時,一個黑暗的幽靈從他的壁櫥裡出現,把他嚇跑了。

在今天的 2002 年,劇情聚焦於一位名叫 Julia Lund 的心理學研究生,以及讓她的生活發生翻天覆地的事件。 小時候,她經歷了可怕的夜驚,在目睹父親自殺後表現出來,但似乎已經克服了這個問題。 她與兒時的朋友、現已長大的比利(喬恩·亞伯拉罕斯飾)重聚。 在餐廳裡,比利經常被閃爍的燈光嚇到,因為他現在非常害怕黑暗。 他告訴她,他相信他們的夜驚是由某種超凡脫俗的東西引起的,因為他小時候被神秘生物綁架並失踪了兩天。 他警告她在開槍自殺之前要遠離黑暗。

朱莉婭留在她的醫護人員男友保羅盧米斯的公寓裡尋求安慰和悲傷。 盧米斯有兩個室友,他屈從於他們,支付他們的租金和水電費。 當他被動地要求他們捐款時,他們嘲笑他,甚至開玩笑說要保留他給他們的電費錢。 他們的控制權,以及為什麼他們負責這個家,從來沒有被解釋過。 即使其中一個看到他的女朋友裸體並與她調情,室友,而不是他,也會出現。 儘管他們有控制權,但室友們從未被發現有任何超自然的起源或能力。 那天晚上,朱莉婭聽到淋浴的聲音,並調查發現從水槽排水管中噴出一種神秘的黑色液體,浴室鏡子揭示了一個通往充滿神秘生物的異次元的開口。 保羅聽到她的尖叫聲並前來幫助她,卻發現她獨自一人。 他暗示她可能一直在夢遊,因為她不記得發生了什麼。

在他的葬禮上,朱莉婭安慰比利的父母,並會見了他的兩個朋友和室友特里阿爾巴和山姆伯恩賽德,他們慢慢開始相信他的說法,因為他們在孩提時代也經歷過夜驚,並懷疑他們會回來。 被山姆粗心的評論冒犯了,朱莉婭參觀了比利童年的房間,發現他的抽屜裡裝滿了電池。 特里出現並為山姆的麻木不仁道歉,並告訴她比利經常談論朱莉婭和他的夜驚經歷,以及為什麼他痴迷於遠離黑暗。

當朱莉婭在偏僻的地方開車時,當汽車神秘地停下時,一個未知的生物衝過擋風玻璃。 在她設法解決問題後,她被比利的景象嚇了一跳,跌跌撞撞地走上馬路,卻差點被迎面而來的卡車撞倒。 朱莉婭為了安慰而訪問保羅的公寓,卻發現他和他的朋友特洛伊和達倫喝醉了。 她厭惡地離開。

在特里和山姆的公寓裡,三人組研究比利的日記。 特里和山姆問朱莉婭是否經歷過夜驚的複發,她否認了。 特里解釋說,她在 5 歲時目睹了她的妹妹淹死在她家人度過夏天的湖中後,開始產生夜驚。 有一次,她從臥室消失,回到狗屋,當她父親伸手要她時,她用菜刀刺了他的眼睛,因為她確信他是某種惡魔。

朱莉婭起初持懷疑態度,但在遇到一個名叫莎拉的小女孩後,她慢慢開始相信她朋友們的故事,莎拉是布斯醫生的病人之一,她也患有夜驚症,這種恐懼症是在她母親英年早逝後開始的。 莎拉聲稱“他們”會在她可怕的噩夢中吃掉她,唯一讓他們遠離的就是燈光。 然後她開始在她手臂上的一個奇怪的標記上挑,一個類似的標記也出現在比利的手、山姆的肩膀和特里的腳踝上。 特里和山姆很快就被這些生物帶走了。

當朱莉婭發現“他們”在她額頭上留下的印記並拔出一根長長的黑針時,她終於相信了這些故事。 她害怕地跑到保羅的公寓。 保羅現在確信朱莉婭瘋了,用安眠藥給她的飲料下藥,並試圖打電話給布斯博士。 意識到他給她下了藥,她跑到地鐵站把安眠藥吐出來,結果被關在車站裡,關門把她鎖在裡面。

被困,她被迫乘坐火車回家,是唯一的乘客。 火車的燈開始閃爍,車輛完全停止。 她下了車,看到火車隧道裡所有的燈泡都在這些生物襲擊她之前爆裂了。 朱莉婭設法逃脫,最終被一群試圖幫助她的工程師發現,但朱莉婭用玻璃碎片猛烈攻擊他們,確信他們不是人類。

她致力於布斯博士的精神病院,在那裡她再次受到攻擊並被傳送到她之前看到的另一個維度,只是這次是在壁櫥裡。 她向布斯博士和一名勤務兵大喊救命,他們都看不到她,也聽不到她的聲音。 布斯博士關上了門,這些生物把朱莉婭拖走了。

In 1983, a young boy named Billy Parks is frightened and has difficulty falling asleep after waking up from a nightmare. His mother Mary assures him the monster he thinks is in the closet is imaginary. As he tries to fall asleep again, a dark apparition emerges from his closet and spirits him away.

In present-day 2002, the plot focuses on a Psychology grad student named Julia Lund and the events that turned her life upside down. As a child, she experienced horrifying night terrors that manifested after witnessing her father commit suicide but has seemingly overcome the problem. She reunites with a childhood friend, a now grown-up Billy (Jon Abrahams). In the diner, Billy is constantly startled by the flickering lights, as he is now deathly afraid of the dark. He tells her that he believes their night terrors are caused by something otherworldly, as he was kidnapped by mysterious creatures as a child and went missing for two days. He warns her to stay out of the dark before shooting himself.

Julia stays over at her paramedic boyfriend Paul Loomis’ apartment for comfort and to grieve. Loomis has two roommates whom he is subservient to, paying their portion of the rent and utilities. When he passively asks them to contribute, they mock him, to the point of joking about keeping the money he gave them for the electric bill. Their control, and why they are in charge of the home is never explained. The roommates, not him, appear in charge even when one of them sees his girlfriend nude and flirts with her. Despite their control, the roommates are never revealed to have any supernatural origin or abilities. That night Julia hears the shower running and investigates to find a mysterious black fluid erupting from the sink drain, and the bathroom mirror reveals an opening to alternate dimension filled with mysterious creatures. Paul hears her screams and comes to her aid only to find her alone. He suggests that she might have been sleepwalking, since she does not remember what happened.

At his funeral, Julia consoles Billy’s parents and meets up with two of his friends and roommates, Terry Alba and Sam Burnside, who slowly begin to believe his claims, as they also experienced night terrors as children and suspect they are returning. Offended by Sam’s careless comments, Julia visits Billy’s childhood room and discovers his drawer filled with batteries. Terry shows up and apologizes for Sam’s insensitivity and informs her that Billy used to talk a lot about Julia and his experiences with night terrors, and why he was obsessed with staying out of the dark.

As Julia is driving in the middle of nowhere, an unknown creature sprints across the windshield as the car mysteriously stops. After she manages to fix the issue, she is startled by a vision of Billy and stumbles onto the road only to nearly get hit by an oncoming truck. Julia visits Paul’s apartment for comfort only to discover him drunk with his friends Troy and Darren. She leaves in disgust.

At Terry and Sam’s apartment, the trio study Billy’s diary. Terry and Sam ask Julia if she has experienced any return of the night terrors, which she denies. Terry explains her night terrors started when she was 5 years old, after witnessing her sister drown in a lake where her family would spend their summers. In one instance, she disappeared from her bedroom and returned in the dog house, and as her father reached in to get her, she stabbed him in the eye with a kitchen knife, as she was convinced he was some kind of demon.

Julia is at first skeptical but slowly starts to believe in her friends’ stories after meeting a little girl named Sarah, one of Dr. Booth’s patients who also suffers from night terrors which started after her mother’s untimely death. Sarah claims ”They” are going to eat her in her horrible nightmares, and the only thing that keeps them away is lights. She then starts picking at a strange mark on her arm, a similar mark that also appeared on Billy’s hand, Sam’s shoulder, and Terry’s ankle. Terry and Sam are soon taken by the creatures.

Julia finally believes the stories when she discovers the mark left by ”Them” on her forehead and pulls out a long black needle. She runs to Paul’s apartment in fear. Paul, now convinced that Julia is insane, drugs her drink with a sleeping pill and attempts to call Dr. Booth. Realizing he drugged her, she runs to the subway station to vomit the sleeping pill out, only to get trapped in the station as the closing gates lock her in.

Trapped, she is forced to ride a train home and is the only passenger. The train’s lights start to flicker, and the vehicle stops completely. She gets off and sees all the light bulbs burst in the train tunnel before the creatures assault her. Julia manages to escape and is finally discovered by a group of engineers who attempt to help her, only for Julia to violently assault them with shards of glass, convinced they are not human.

She is committed to Dr. Booth’s mental institution, where she is attacked once more and transported into the separate dimension she previously saw, only this time inside of a closet. She screams for help to Dr. Booth and an orderly, neither of whom can see or hear her. Dr. Booth closes the door, and the creatures drag Julia away.
