Officer Daniel Carter finds a blood-covered man on a lonely road and takes him to a small rural hospital. Carter soon learns that hooded cult members have trapped the building and that patients and staff are turning into violent creatures. He works with his estranged wife Allison, other medical workers, and a father and son who are fighting the cult. The film uses a dark, serious tone and fills the hospital basement with blood, strange visions, and practical monster effects.
The story focuses on grief, death, and the wish to bring dead loved ones back. Dr. Powell uses the hospital and a hidden cult to open a doorway to another world. Carter's broken marriage and the loss of his unborn child give the supernatural threat a personal side. The film treats these ideas as tragic horror, while its main warning is that trying to defeat death can destroy everyone.
