Storyline:
What if the one you lost... came back wrong?

After the sudden death of his father, young Jamie and his stepmother Marla struggle to rebuild a sense of normalcy. But grief turns to dread when a grotesque, otherworldly creature begins visiting them at night—wearing the face of Jamie’s dead father.

At first, Jamie believes it’s a sign—a second chance. But Marla knows better. The creature mimics the father’s voice, remembers intimate details, and lurks in the shadows, watching. As the visits become more frequent and violent, mother and son must confront what the creature really is—and what it wants.

Is it a ghost? A hallucination? Or something far older... and far hungrier?

Because grief opens doors.
And some doors were never meant to be opened.
