The premise

A strange mortician tells four horrific tales to three drug dealers that he traps in a local funeral parlor.

Horror Vault's take

A sinister mortician with a flair for the theatrical holds three drug dealers captive in his funeral parlor and spins four chilling tales — each one a horror story rooted in the very real terrors of Black American experience. From corrupt cops and plantation ghosts to possessed dolls and monstrous consequences, every segment uses the supernatural to confront social evils head-on. Part anthology horror, part moral reckoning, the film twists genre conventions into sharp cultural commentary without ever losing its bite.
