The premise

After losing his brother in combat, Jacob Singer returns home from Afghanistan -- only to be pulled into a mind-twisting state of paranoia. Singer soon realizes that his sibling is alive but life is not what it seems.

Horror Vault's take

A veteran returns home from Afghanistan haunted by the death of his brother, only to find his grip on reality rapidly unraveling. As impossible visions blur the line between the living and the dead, Jacob Singer is drawn into a labyrinth of paranoia where nothing — and no one — can be trusted. This remake of the 1990 cult classic transplants its mind-bending dread into a contemporary setting, trading familiar domestic horror for a post-war psychological spiral.
