    The main character is just *chef kiss*. Such amazing actor! I would love see him playing this character again and, of course, in another movie. For sure I'll look for his work, but If someone knows him from another movie, I would love see your recommendations!

I really thought the cops were going to at least go inside and check it out, but inside they just take the locksmith/thief away in the car and don't even bother going inside to check if the guy is ok. I was so mad and sad, so this was incredible story writing! 10/10 story for me, the plot was interesting, and everyone portrayed their roles outstanding.

    Great film! I think the tear is definitely from the thief's eye. May have been purge. When I worked at a funeral home we had a young woman with "tears" running from her closed eyes all through the wake because she was a hefty woman and had retained so much water. It alarmed some guests and others were all sentimental about it. It was sad. However, this body in the film is dry as a bone. I don't think this film is supernatural horror, but one theory I have is maybe his obsessive love has trapped the "spirit" of his dead wife into the reassembled version of herself and she sees & hears everything but is powerless to stop it.

    This is exactly how some not all police officer do. They really don't listen then the real criminals gets away. But there's a lot of sick people who would do a crime similar to the guy who wants to rebuild his wife after death. If he really loved her, he should of given her the love in return by letting her rest in peace.

      Jose's Vapors Choice in a real situation he would have told them instead of acting crazy the way he did and they would have arrested him then went to The house. This in fiction.

      Most cops would have investigated the house and made sure the person that was trying to be robbed was okay. I get they couldn’t because we wouldn’t have seen, but if the other robber explained this the person they just tried to rob was gonna kill his partner, he wouldn’t have died. I wonder how that interrogation session will go...
