See the films the platforms disagree about most →A young boy, mourning the death of his parents, begins to suspect the local mortician, known as the Tall Man, is not what he seems. He and his older brother investigate the funeral home, discovering the Tall Man is a supernatural entity from another dimension, reanimating the dead as his dwarf slaves and shrinking bodies for interdimensional travel. They are drawn into a nightmarish world of flying silver spheres and deadly creatures.
