The Dead Hate the Living!

Scientist Eibon records a message declaring his success at bringing the dead back to life and his ambition to join them. He speaks of his obsession and the danger of his experiments. The monologue sets a dark tone, foreshadowing the horrors to come.

A zombie breaches Eibon's laboratory and attacks him, interrupting his ominous project. The encounter shows that his resurrection experiments are not under control. This early violence hints at the threat the hospital crew will later face.

A group of young filmmakers arrives at the abandoned hospital to shoot a horror film, unaware of its dark past. The setting connects to Eibon's earlier experiments, though the crew doesn't know it yet. The encounter marks the start of the film's central location and danger.

Nina, Shelly's sister, arrives on set and challenges Shelly's control over the project. She tries to retool the film and its special effects to suit her needs, escalating tensions. The conflict disrupts their production and foreshadows later betrayals.

Filming pauses as the crew explores the hospital, hoping to find inspiration. They stumble upon Eibon's hidden laboratory and the strange coffin containing a corpse. The discovery hints at the hospital's gruesome history.

David decides to use the corpse as a prop, disgustingly blurring the line between fiction and reality. Shelly quits the film in protest, leaving the crew short-handed. The decision intensifies the supernatural stakes.

Eric accidentally reawakens Eibon by opening the coffin, which emits a purple light and creates a vortex. Two zombies emerge and attack the crew, killing Eric in the process. Eibon revives Eric, continuing to manipulate the dead.

The film reveals that Eibon's obsession with resurrection began after his wife Ellie died of cancer. His motive explains the reckless hunger to bend death to his will. The backstory adds tragedy to the horror.

The undead methodically eliminate crew members, and Shelly is among the first to fall. Topaz is terrified but persists, while David and Paul improvise to survive. The group's dynamic fractures under the relentless onslaught.

Topaz is captured and brought to Eibon's laboratory, because she killed Ellie, who has become a zombie. The capture raises the stakes as Eibon uses her as leverage to force the survivors toward his lair. The moment tightens the sense that no one is safe.

Paul and David disguise themselves as zombies to infiltrate Eibon's lair and eliminate the remaining enemies. Paul dies during the assault, sacrificing himself to preserve the mission. David frees Topaz and prepares to end Eibon's reign.

David destroys Eibon and escapes the hospital with Topaz, only to find themselves in a dimension inhabited by the dead. The world shifts around them, suggesting the undead's grasp persists beyond the hospital's walls. The ending leaves the destiny of the survivors ambiguously haunted.
