Okay, so this movie really messed with my head. It centers around a morgue tech who manages to bring a little girl back to life – but here’s the catch: keeping her alive requires… let’s just say a very disturbing and ethically questionable process involving pregnant women. Things get even more twisted when the girl’s mother, a nurse herself, finds out her child isn’t exactly gone. They strike a deal, and honestly, it’s a deal with the devil. Once they go down that road, there’s absolutely no turning back. It’s a dark, disturbing story that will definitely stick with you.

Runtime: 1 Hour 38 Minutes
