When a forensic examiner encounters a body at a horrific crime scene, she discovers it belongs to the father who vanished decades ago. As she investigates his past and the mystery surrounding his return, unsettling evidence draws her into a dangerous case.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like slow-building horror mysteries that grow increasingly gruesome and feature an intriguing family connection; Not for you if you want fast-paced scares from the start.
