The first half of this movie is really good. A corpse is found buried beneath a home. Everyone in the house is dead but police think it looks like the dead family was trying to get out. The police bring the "Jane Doe" corpse to a morgue where the protagonists, played by Hirsch and Cox, proceed to dissect it. They gradually uncover the mystery of the dead body and it's by far the most intriguing portion of the movie.

As the story progresses, it turns into more of a haunted house flick, albeit an entertaining one. There are a couple of deaths along the way that tick up the body count. One of them is an animal death which seems to occur only to bolster sympathy for Cox and Hirsch. This was likely thought necessary for those character's perils later.

There are some sustained scares but it's nothing too frightening. Only a couple of jump scares happen...nice to see that trend lessening. If you're averse to gore, especially surgical gore, you may want to steer clear of this.

The ending was decent. Nothing mind boggling, but the best fit given the tone of the rest of the story.

Overall, this was a nice surprise. It was better than expected.
