Nacho Cerdà, a friend of Hussain's who had been impressed by the screenplay, later suggested the film as a project for Filmax.

The film ends with Marie's daughter, Emily, explaining that she knew her mother would never return. The bridge that brought her there has been destroyed, and she plunges into the river, drowning. Marie's father's voice comes over the radio, telling her to return and join the family he has created. When her doppelgänger comes after her, Marie flees to the truck parked outside and drives away. She runs from him and finds Nikolai's body being eaten by boars. She flees his office in the present and runs into her past self as she comes up the steps, and continues fleeing into the sunlight until she finds herself back in the house, this time between the past and the present, where the apparition of her father explains that he has always loved his children and his wife, and could not let them leave him.
While searching for the truck, Marie finds her father's now desiccated body in the barn, and is then pushed into a pseudo-past where she realizes her father and the notary are the same person. Nikolai tells Marie that they can escape in the truck along with their mother and their younger selves. The house reverts to its state on the night of the murder, and they see their father returning home. He explains that their father intended to kill them along with their mother when they were babies, and that they cannot leave until he has managed to reunite the family in death.

Threatened by the zombie-like creatures, Nikolai shoots one of them in the leg, only to find that the wound appears on his own body. The house seems to change at random between a state of dilapidation and a state of domestication. Having attempted to escape, she meets Nikolai, who tells her that they are twins, adopted separately following the murder of their mother. Having been taken to the wooded island, she finds that the house is dilapidated and inhabited by zombie-like creatures, one of whom looks like her.
