“ | You want to be part of the Minimoys’s world? Now is the time. The moon is full. We'll take care of you. | „ |
~ The Gang's most famous quote. |
“ | They're big city kids who have nothing to do, so they organize role playing games. Three years ago it was the the Batman group against Superman. They were jumping off buildings thinking they could fly. And this year it was all about the movie, "Arthur and the Minimoys." It's been crazy ever since they found that house in the movie. They come here for the weekends, take drugs, fight and some of them end up dead. It's tragic what they do to each other. | „ |
~ Police Officer describing the Gang and their purpose to Alex, Samantha and Jean. |
The Gang are the main antagonists of the 2022 French psychological horror-thriller film Arthur, malédiction. They are a group of a bunch of out-of-town, drug-addicted teenagers who played deadly role-playing games. Such as Batman vs. Superman from three years ago, but they started playing Arthur and the Invisibles after discovering the house that was filmed and started organizing their own cult and turned cult members.
History[]
They are first seen in the film in the abandoned town that was used for filming for the Arthur and the Invisibles trilogy, They observe the protagonists of the film, from their arrival until their departure, Later on the protagonists go into the forest to find wood to make a fire, having fun together and toasting Alex's birthday. Dominique, who has moved away, finds Momo's phone. Alex and the others begin to worry about Momo, but continue to party. While going to bed, Alex and Samantha mutually confess their feelings and kiss. In the night, Alex is awakened by a nightmare where he sees Momo, Pilou and himself being attacked by strangers. Leaving the tent to go do his business, Alex notices lights coming from the forest in the distance as well as several people. He calls Momo thinking it's him, but he gets no response and the lights suddenly go out. The next day, the teenagers discover the cooler overturned and the food eaten. Douglas thinks a bear might have done this, while the others tell him there are no bears in the area. So they send Douglas to the car to do the shopping while Dominique and Maxime go swimming in the river in the forest. Douglas follows the flags Renata has hung from the trees to find the way back to the cars, but falls sur a strange tree where a person seems to be stuck inside. As he approaches the tree, a person arrives and knocks him unconscious. Maxime and Dominique are resting by the river but end up discovering Momo's body, unconscious, hanging from a tree. Maxime, while trying to unhook the rope attached to Momo's foot, puts his foot in a bear trap which cuts off his foot. Dominique arrives to get Maxime's foot out of the trap and succeeds in cutting the rope to which Momo is hanging, who dies from his fall. Meanwhile, the rest of the group find the hole used for the filming which, in the movies, was the gateway to the kingdom of the Minimoys. Taking Jean's camera by tying it with a tied rope to observe the depth of the hole, they then observe something strange that rips the camera off, pulling Jean into the hole. Alex cuts the rope that connects Jean to the camera and saves his friend.
Renata angrily tells Alex that they should all go home after what happened. But in the distance, they notice Dominique, carrying Maxime on his back and who ends up falling to the ground. After being joined by the group, Dominique explains to Alex that Momo is dead and begs him to leave. After treating Maxime, Alex, Jean and Dominique bring him to the cars, leaving Samantha, Mathilde and Renata at home. As they arrive at the car, they find that a log has fallen on Renata's vehicle and Douglas has gotten lost in the forest. While Alex and Jean are looking for him, they leave Dominique and Maxime behind in Jean's car with instructions to honk every 2 minutes to make sure they are okay, and to honk several times in case of problem. At home, Renata and Samantha sit on a swing to listen to music. Mathilde then looks at the photos she has taken with her camera and notices in the photos that a person is watching them from the window upstairs in the house; when she turns her head to observe the window, she then sees that the person is still observing her. To be safe, she locks herself in the barn, but sees through the door that a person is lurking around the barn. She climbs onto the roof, which attracts a whole honeycomb towards Mathilde, who is allergic to bee stings. Stuck in the barn, she breaks the window to try to get out but succumbs to her allergy. Alex and Jean, still in the forest looking for Douglas, find the latter with his hands clinging to a tree. As Jean approaches him, he notices that his arms are ripped off, signifying Douglas' death. Dominique, watching over Maxime, notices that strangers are approaching the car; he then honks several times to signal the danger to Alex and Jean, but someone breaks the car window. In the distance, Alex and Jean hear the cries of their friends, but, soon enough, they are already dead. Alex and Jean therefore head towards the house to alert Renata and Samantha.
In the distance, Xander calls Samantha telling her to get away as soon as possible, but the person who has been watching them all along cuts the wire of the swing she is sitting on, causing her to fall into a tunnel under the house. Xander, Jean, and Renata cast a fluorescent light to locate her and grab a rope to bring her to the surface, but a hand grabs Samantha's foot and drags her down with her into the basement. Alex and Jean therefore immediately go to the basement to try to find her and, while crossing a tube, Alex falls on Pilou's lifeless body, but finds Samantha, alive and made up with paint like in the film. Jean announces to Renata, who remained on the ground floor, that they have found Samantha; but as she catches her breath, a person who had confused themselves with the walls of the house with paint on her body, approaches her and kidnaps her. As they head back downstairs, Jean, Samantha, and Alex lay on the floor, taking a deep breath, but upon hearing footsteps, Alex turns around and gets knocked out with a punch. Kidnapped by people dressed as Matassalai, characters from the Arthur and the Invisibles trilogy, Alex, Samantha, Renata and Jean regain consciousness while they are tied up. A Matassalai approaches Alex telling him that the moon is full and that he is ready to join the world of the Minimoys, Jean tries to find a plan and cut the rope that keeps them prisoners. As the Matassalai pull on the vines to send Alex into the world of the Minimoys, as in the second part of the saga, Jean arrives to rescue her friend with Renata while Samantha leaves to seek help.
But as she tries to get the Matassalai's attention, several people disguised as Seides (the minions of Maltazard in the movies) arrive, armed with knives, and one of them stabs Renata who bleeds out. A fight between the Matassalai and the Seides then begins. Alex tries to escape from the vines that hold him prisoner and Jean fights with a Matassalai, which knocks him out; but as he is about to finish him off, Alex arrives and stabs the Matassalai in the back with a spear. After escaping, Samantha comes across a figure, which turns out to be a person disguised as Maltazard, the villain of the Arthur and the Invisibles movies. As she flees, she is caught by Maltazard, who tries to strangle her to death, but she is saved by the paranoid inhabitant of the house, whom the gang had met to ask directions. Shooting Maltazard with his rifle, he then kills the Matassalai and the remaining Seides. He then approaches Alex telling him that he told them not to approach this house because it was dangerous; he then threatens Alex by pointing his gun to his head, and tells him not to set foot in that house again, which Alex accepts. The inhabitant of the house leaves and leaves them in the middle of the corpses, but the police and the emergency services arrive to save them. In the morning, the police, who have completely secured the place, announce to them the death of Mathilde and tell them that the bodies of their friends will be repatriated. The police also tell Alex, Samantha, and Jean that their attackers were just a bunch of out-of-town, drug-addicted teenagers who played deadly role-playing games like Batman vs. Superman, but they started playing Arthur and the Invisibles after discovering the house that was filmed. When getting into a police van that will take them to the hospital, Alex notices an individual at the window of the top floor of the house watching them. After they leave, the house and the field around it are surrounded by police and medical examiners, dealing with the corpses of the Matassalai and the Seides, as well as those of Mathilde, Renata, Douglas, Dominique and Maxime but also the band member, disguised as Maltazard.
