After losing her husband, Alice seeks comfort at her in-laws' isolated family home, hoping to heal alongside those who share her grief. Instead, the reunion turns into a nightmare as family members are possessed one by one and transformed into terrifying Deadites.
Forced to fight for survival, Alice must confront unimaginable horrors while discovering that the promises of love and family can become terrifying curses. Set almost entirely within a confined location, the film combines relentless supernatural terror with emotional family drama, making it one of the franchise's most intimate and brutal entries.
