Knucklebones (2016)

Neesa is about to graduate from high school when her boyfriend dumps her. He says he’s doing her a favor. It’s best for both of them so they don’t miss any opportunity’s when they go to college. He is surprised when instead of being grateful, Neesa attempts to take her own life.

After she recovers, a couple of her friends convince her to go to the old factory with Adam and Travis. Legend says it’s haunted. It closed in the 1970s after people were murdered on the graveyard shift.

Even though it’s been closed almost fifty years, the generator and electricity still works and the factory is clean.  When they hear a noise in the basement that seems to be coming from behind the wall, Adam cuts open the wall and they find a box of Nazi crap hidden within.

The box includes some dice made from knuckle bones. As if that isn’t creepy enough, you can use them to summon a demon.  Three of the five are all in on bringing forth the demon. Neesa is more interested in leaving a message for Ryan telling him she loves him, misses him and it’s not his fault that she tried to die.

Soon there is a Nazi demon skeleton slinging quips around and the kids scatter.  At this point, new characters show up, like the addicts who break in to steal metal, and the crazy guy living in the factory who’s been looking for the Nazi stuff for years.  Hurrah more victims. 

Ridiculous dialogue

Adam: We found the dice in the basement sealed behind the wall.
Crazy guy: I was afraid of that. Been coming here for years looking for them. Eventually I just moved on in here.
Neesa: There wasn’t anything about any kind of banishment ritual.
Crazy guy: I was afraid of that too.
