The premise

A newspaper publisher listens to the personal tapes of investigative reporter David Norliss, who has disappeared during an investigation. The tapes tell the story of that investigation, involving a recent widow whose late husband has been seen working in his private studio. As Norliss and the widow investigate, they unravel a plot involving Voodoo and the walking dead.

Horror Vault's take

When investigative reporter David Norliss vanishes without a trace, the only clues left behind are a series of personal audio recordings he made during his final case. His publisher listens in as the tapes recount a deeply disturbing investigation into a recently widowed woman whose deceased husband has allegedly been spotted in his private studio. What Norliss uncovered threads together dark rituals, voodoo, and the terrifying possibility that the dead do not always stay buried. This made-for-TV chiller unfolds as a layered mystery that grows increasingly sinister with each tape.
