[edit] Plot

After the loss of the father, the Doyle family move to the small town of Arkham. As the family struggling to come to grips with the loss of its father, the mother, Leslie (Crosby), takes over the long abandoned Fowler Brothers Funeral Home. However, Leslie's son, Jonathan (Byrd) is told of a town legend, by Liz (Adi), whom he meets at his new diner job. The legend that surrounds the home causes the locals fear it. Townsfolk suspect that the land the home lies on is haunted and the cemetery on the property to be the living place of a sadistic monster. The Fowler family soon discovers that something lurks beneath Arkham, something that raises corpses from their graves and feeds on death itself.
