BOOK OF BLOOD
The film starts with a hooded, apparently
disfigured individual eating at a diner, being watched by a stranger at
the bar. Unknown to him, the man's name is Wyburd (Clive Russell) who
has been stalking the young man. He eventually convinces the boy to join
him in his truck, where he soon passes out. The boy awakens strapped to
a table and Wyburd offers the boy a choice by killing him; offering him
a slow death, or a quick and clean death by hearing the story of the
Book of Blood a series of scars and inscriptions carved from head to
toe. Opting for a clean death, the boy reveals his story.
A young girl alone in her bedroom is
violently hurled against the ceiling, raped and beaten in her bed while
her parents stand outside screaming her name. Shortly before the
authorities break in, an unseen force literally rips her face off and
inscribes on the doorway "Do not mock us." Several months later, a
paranormal professor Mary Florescu (Sophie Ward) and her partner Reg
Fuller (Paul Blair) investigate the house in order to unlock its
mysteriously murderous past. Mary encounters Simon McNeal (Jonas
Armstrong) a seemingly clairvoyant young boy in her classroom to whom
she develops an attraction, both physically and due to his mutual
connection to the paranormal as she had had a similar encounter in the
past. Simon reluctantly signs on to assist in uncovering the presence in
the house, and the three of them move in. The first night, a series of
strange encounters culminates in an attack on Simon as he is hurled
across his bedroom. A series of writings on the closet walls light up,
much to the shock of both Mary and Reg. Mary begins to develop intimate
feelings for Simon after a particularly arousing dream, and focuses on
his abilities unlocking the potential of paranormal studies in the
house. Reg expresses his doubts and has Mary take the charred writing to
a lab for an analysis.
Simon
reciprocates Mary's feelings and the pair fall in love, in particular
after a second incident which was more violent and prevalent than the
first, Simon awakening with more scars across his body, and Mary has a
violent encounter of her own where she is terrified by the spirits of a
group of little girls. She tells Simon and Reg that when she was a
child, she had seen a fountain which was dried up, but every night would
become soaked and spraying with blood, fearing being called crazy, she
never told anyone about these visions, when excavators decided to remove
the fountain, they found the body of a little girl. Tracking down the
girl's father, they found he had claimed six more victims before being
caught, wracking Mary with guilt for not telling the authorities of what
she had seen. One afternoon, Mary receives a phone call and abruptly
departs, leaving Simon on the street, when he tracks her down at the
house, she reveals that she discovered he had been lying, using
gunpowder and sulfur to commit the "paranormal" experiences. He
confesses that the first time he did fake it, but the second time was
real. After she refuses to believe him, he storms out. Reg comes in
later and she shows him a transmitter sewn into the bottom of his
mattress which was used to flicker the power of Reg's equipment during
the experiences. Simon returns, determined to prove that he really had
his powers back, as he had believed to lost his clairvoyance when he was
thirteen, years after the death of his brother which he had predicted
(and earned his reputation to Mary). And was determined to keep them. He
goes up again to face the ghosts and again is attacked.
