Deadly Dead

In the new film from the producers of “Sundmõte,” police are called to a quiet coastal house, where they find two victims with brutally disfigured bodies. But in the backyard lies a third corpse, naked and pale, whose body is already badly decomposed. The man has no visible injuries or identification, and there is no explanation for his presence there. How did a man who has clearly been dead for weeks end up at the centre of a fresh, violent crime? It turns out that the unidentified corpse belongs to forensic anthropologist Meg Garland’s father, who disappeared when Meg was still a child. At first, she refuses to cooperate, but eventually both scientific curiosity and fragmentary memories of her father’s fear on the night he vanished draw her into the investigation. Soon Meg must face the horrifying possibility that her father was not who she thought he was—and that whatever he feared most may still be lurking nearby. Meg is played by Deborah Ann Woll, known from the “Escape Room” film series and the series “Daredevil,” “The Punisher” and “True Blood.” Supporting roles are played by Jeffrey Donovan (“Law and Order,” “Burn Notice,” “Sicario”), Will Hochman (“Blue Blood”), Jack Doolan (“The Boys,” “Sisu”) and Don Keith Opper (“Critters 1-4”).
