The Dead Pit
Dr. Ramzi, a brilliant yet insane doctor who has been running horrible experiments on his patients in an effort to master death, being killed and buried in the basement of a mental health facility. Twenty years later, the hospital is running again and Jane Doe arrives at the institute. Upon her arrival, a major earthquake rocks the building. Jane insists that there are patients in the basement that need help but isn't taken seriously. In the following days she befriends fellow patients and undergoes hypnosis that reveals that she and her mother changed their names to escape her father. As the film progresses Dr. Ramzi comes back as an undead entity and uses his powers to manipulate inmates and kill staff. Jane also has the revelation that she is the daughter of Dr. Ramzi, as her mother was rightfully terrified of him. He ultimately uses his powers to raise the dead patients as zombies.
