And the next day, she sends him a text telling him to stay out of the house tonight. After Natalie loses faith in Kevin, she mentions they should think seriously about separating. At this point though, do I even care what the double back is? Because we know there is a double back of some sort, there’s still like 25 minutes left in the film. ![]() This just makes no sense at all.) But of course, Robert was trying to scare the couple into leaving his home.īut, when pressed, Robert denies attacking Natalie in the night, or killing their dog, or poisoning Kevin. (Stop, if you wanted to make an “investment” that would put you in debt, would you invest in your brother-in-law’s custom build home? That they were going to live in? Like, what? They could live there the rest of their lives. He had invested in Claudia’s husband’s home and after the house was sold for a loss, he was severely in debt. It turns out that it was Claudia’s husband, Robert, who was responsible for the post in Natalie’s name. But when she’s attacked at the front door of her home by an attacker that read a post online about how Natalie has rape fantasies, the Police realize what is going on. Which makes the police think that it is actually Natalie that is poisoning her husband. Kevin, soon after, collapses from a drug in his system called nerium… which is apparently lethal at too large a dose. And she also sees a “rail thin” man in the house. Things go from bad to worse when Natalie notices photos on her phone of her sleeping. I would have cut and run at this point, personally. After their chat, Robert, Claudia’s husband offers to buy the house back at a reduced rate. But Claudia really doesn’t think that her brother killed himself and his wife. And she learns that the couple had been having affairs. CURSE YOU – YOU FIENDISH DOUBLE BACK!) And then their dog Odie has to be put down after eating something poisonous.Įventually, Natalie goes to visit Claudia – the woman that sold them the house – in order to find out what might be happening with the house and how her brother and sister died. But I stuck with the movie solely because I had heard there was a clever double back at the end of the movie. (Can I just say that, I could have madlibbed a better screenplay based on the real events. But Natalie and Jay really think nothing of it other than to be annoyed that the dog wasn’t fed. And screenwriters everywhere should be made aware of this overly used movie script syndrome.īut then Dani, Natalie’s sister, completely disappears while at the house. Eventually, Natalie reports the events and the attack, to the police… but when the security footage shows her running through the house alone – the police write it off to Theatrical Insane Woman Syndrome. Because that isn’t a well-worn movie plot detail… is she just randomly going insane? Why, yes, of course she is! Because that makes sense. And worse? Natalie starts to think that there is someone else in the house when she is accosted in the night. Why?Īs the movie starts out, the couple start receiving weird mail, like porn and other things they definitely didn’t order. ![]() Anyway.) But Claudia’s husband, Robert, just doesn’t seem very happy with the transaction. ![]() Is it just me? Or does Ashley Greene look like Marena Baccarin’s (You know, from Homeland) doppleganger? Maybe I’m just seeing things here. Maybe.Īfter the introduction to Erin and Jay – and their swift departure from the film – we meet Claudia, Jay’s sister, who unloads the house to Kevin (Shawn Ashmore) and Natalie (Ashley Greene – Twilight) just to get rid of it. Erin was killed by Jay, and Jay committed suicide. Erin, the designer of the self-built home, and her husband Jay are having marital problems which culminates in a murder suicide. The opening is critical to understanding the entirety of the film. Was Aftermath based on true events? Could this even really be a thing? At the bottom of this post, I’ll walk you through the real world events that actually happened to inspire the movie. The movie opens with a notification that the movie was based on true events.
