THE HOME

At the nursing home Ekskuggan, something begins to change when Monika moves in. The residents start behaving more and more strangely, and when the night staff refuse to come to work, Monika’s son Joel realizes that something is wrong. His mother is haunted by something terrifying and all too familiar—something both he and she believed they had left behind. One thing, however, has been clear from the beginning: you come to Ekskuggan to die.
