Zach (Dan DeHaan) is mourning the death of his girlfriend, Beth (Aubrey Plaza) after she was bitten by a venomous snake while hiking. But soon after her funeral, she turns up at home totally fine, minus a hazy memory. Zach is so relieved to have his girlfriend back! Until she starts acting strangely violent... and hungry.
I really enjoyed this film. I don't like how it just kind of opens with people in mourning and you have to spend a while slowly piecing together what happened. But once it gets going, it gets interesting. You get to see a man in love, given a second chance to say all the things he wanted to say to his woman before she died. And it's heart-breaking when he has to come to terms with the fact that the Beth that's returned is not quite the same Beth who left.
This is a horror film for people who hate horror films. You get to watch a supernatural love story without fear of jump scares. You can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the story as it unfolds before you. Definitely a unique type of horror, but one I can appreciate.
