The Empty Wake

At a funeral home, a young woman named Hailey is assigned to host a wake for a man named Andrew Edwards. It has been requested that Andrew’s casket be video recorded during the whole night. Her boss, Ronald, and another assistant, Tim, leave the building for the night. Outside a strong thunderstorm begins, causing the power to flicker. When she hears strange noises from the casket, which has moved on the bier, Hailey calls Tim and says that she thinks Andrew is alive in the casket. Tim quells her worries by explaining that his body is most likely releasing gases that are causing the noises. As the storm worsens, the building begins to occasionally lose power. A man does eventually arrive to the wake and after uttering something in Hungarian language abruptly leaves. Hailey then calls her friend Sharon, asking for her to check in the local obituaries for Andrew's name.

Sharon tells Hailey that Andrew committed suicide by leaping from the roof of a church after shouting gibberish. The power cuts out again, plunging the building into darkness as the noises resume from the casket. Trying to leave, Hailey discovers the front doors are chained shut. Returning to the viewing room she finds the casket tipped over and open. She is attacked by Andrew's corpse, but because the top of its head is missing, it cannot see her. Hiding behind the casket, she finds the top of Andrew's head, and its functional eyes lock onto her, allowing the rest of the corpse to find Hailey. As it attacks, a tornado strikes the funeral home, killing both. After it passes, a zombified Hailey rises and climbs through the window.
