It's Time To Recall.
Let's Get Started.
Turn On Subtitles and Spoilers Ahead! On the way to their new home, a new bride
named Elizabeth romanticizes the moment while her husband, Dr. Henry Kellenberg, drives.
On their arrival, Henry carries Elizabeth through the doorway and shows her the luxurious
house on top of a hill. He then introduces her to Oliver, his son, and Claire, who is
the resident housekeeper. While looking around the place, Elizabeth realizes that Oliver
is blind, but his disability does not limit his skills. That evening, the newlyweds share
dinner in a grand but intimate setting before ending the night in their bedroom. The following
day, Henry surprises Elizabeth with her new closet full of clothes that excites the new
bride. He continues to show her all the rooms and features of the house to familiarize the
place. After touring most of the rooms, a door by the hallway grabs Elizabeth’s attention
and she asks Henry what’s inside. He explains that although the whole house and everything
inside it are already hers, that particular room is off-limits. He also makes her promise
not to enter it no matter what. When she does, Henry kisses her in the hallway while Claire
looks at them from a distance. In their bedroom, Henry informs Elizabeth that he won’t be
around tomorrow because of some work matters. She raises concerns about not wanting to be
left in the house, but he insists that she stay and see this as an opportunity to be
comfortable in her new home. She then wakes up to an empty bed and makes use of the pool
because of her boredom. She explores the house and Claire asks her if she is hungry. Before
Claire prepares a meal, Elizabeth asks her about Henry, but the housekeeper is not too
keen on sharing any information about him. Elizabeth spends the rest of her day reading
a book, sipping on some chocolate milkshake, trying on clothes, and wearing jewelry. To
end the night, she takes a bath and sees the two housekeepers go home. Elizabeth has trouble
sleeping and curiosity soon gets the best of her. She breaks Henry’s only rule and
goes toward the forbidden room. The room seems like a laboratory where she sees six metal
drawers with vital signs monitors displayed on each one. She is too interested in what
lies behind the drawer, so she presses a button that opens it. To her surprise, the drawers
are cryogenic pods that contain bodies. Horror grabs her throat when she sees a clone of
herself lying unconscious and preserved. Terrified by the sight of this, she runs back to the
bedroom to try and calm herself down and tries to contact anyone, but the signal is down,
causing her to panic more. Unknowingly, Elizabeth falls asleep and wakes up the next day, still
not over the fact that she saw a clone of herself. That day, Henry has returned home,
playing the piano for her, while looking at him with suspicion. Because of this, she feels
uncomfortable around him, but she acts as if nothing happened to make herself safe.
Henry notices her meek behavior, and he senses that Elizabeth has seen what is inside the
forbidden room, calling her a good liar. However, she denies his subtle accusations, so he suggests
that they send the housekeepers home so that they could spend the day alone. Both of them
have an intimate moment together, but Elizabeth has lost faith in her husband, knowing that
she is in great danger. In the middle of the night, Henry gets out of bed, and so does
Elizabeth. She looks down at the basement where the forbidden room is, but Henry comes
from behind her, saying, “Elizabeth my pet.” In a sinister way, he holds his machete while
revealing that he is aware of her trespassing into the room, which frightens her so much.
She runs away from him in an attempt to escape, but the doors are entirely locked, making
her hide in the wine cellar. During that nerve-wracking night, Henry decides to just wait for her
in the living room, and Elizabeth makes her way upstairs, thinking that the coast is clear.
From the fireplace, she grabs an iron poker as her only tool of self-defense. She climbs
up the stairs, where Henry grabs her foot from below, causing her to fall. While she
lays on the floor, he mercilessly kills her with the machete, abruptly ending her life
and their marriage all at once. To hide the evidence, Claire and Oliver help him dispose
of Elizabeth's body in the garden. Oddly enough, the three seem pretty experienced in doing
it, as if killing and burying a person is not new to their nature. After the body’s
disposal, the three of them eat breakfast together, but this time, Henry is not treated
as the boss but rather an accomplice. On the same day, Logan, a detective who also happens
to be Henry’s friend, visits him and shares a drink. Logan asks about Elizabeth, but Henry
brushes the topic off by steering the conversation toward Logan’s work life. Henry gives him
advice on dealing with the strain of employment to steer the topic away from him altogether.
In Claire’s separate quarter, Oliver visits and gives her flowers, which she refuses to
accept, saying that he should stop being nice to her. He asks why she still serves Henry
despite being unhappy, but she says they have unfinished business. Oliver accuses her of
being in love with Henry, but she just calls him immature. To get rid of him, she accepts
the flowers hesitantly. Weeks later, another “Elizabeth” is on
the way home, just as what happened to the one before. It is complete deja vu. Again,
he carries her to the home entrance, tours her around, and gives her gifts for their
marriage. The new Elizabeth also asks Henry about the forbidden room, and he gives his
warning speech once again, to which she agrees to abide. Again, Henry gets to experience
their honeymoon, just with another version of his bride. That night, he informs her that
he will leave in the morning, just as he did last time. Now alone in the house, she entertains
herself by looking at the paintings in the art gallery and dressing up just for fun.
However, she runs out of things to do, so she decides to sneak into the forbidden room
she promised not to enter. Inside the lab, she opens the drawer and sees her clone, which
frightens her enough to run away. Unlike the last time, the clone opens her eyes and gets
up after being preserved for a long time. She seems confused about her whereabouts and
identity, so she blankly walks around the home undressed. Disturbingly, she enters the
bedroom where Elizabeth has fallen asleep and touches her body as if she is someone
familiar. Elizabeth wakes up to Henry greeting her good morning before informing her that
he gave Claire a day off, leaving the both of them in the house. In the bathroom, she
acts frantically because of her puzzled thoughts about her marriage, the room, and her safety.
Without consent, Henry enters the bathroom and proceeds to wet a towel while telling
Elizabeth that he is aware of her entering the room. He uses the towel to choke her,
but she is able to fight back and be free from him. She hurriedly runs downstairs to
the front door, but it is ineffective since the system is completely locked. Because of
this, she grabs a knife from the kitchen while Henry prepares halothane to knock her unconscious.
The trembling Elizabeth stays in the kitchen when Henry calmly approaches the piano to
play some music but leaves just as the recorder continues the musical piece. Thinking that
Henry is preoccupied with playing, she gets up, allowing him to come from behind and put
the towel against her face. Elizabeth twitches around because of the chemical’s contents,
and after acting like she is unconscious, she stabs Henry on the back of his neck. The
couple lies beside each other, where moments later, Elizabeth regains her strength and
sees her husband in a pool of blood. She tries to unlock the door by using his fingerprints,
but all are invalid, leaving her no choice but to clean the space before Oliver and Claire
find out. She drags the body to the elevator after deciding to clean herself up, covering
any evidence of the event that took place. Excessively tired, Elizabeth falls asleep
in the living room and is woken up by the sound of a ringing phone. She immediately
gets up to contact emergency services, saying that she is locked inside the house, with
no means of opening it. Seeing Oliver and Claire on the way to the house, she drops
the call to avoid any suspicions from the two. Upon their entrance, Elizabeth greets
them, which makes them completely aback—seeing her still alive. Claire realizes that something
is amiss after hearing that Henry is upstairs because he is “not feeling well.” Henry
never stays upstairs, leaving Elizabeth unsupervised, especially that her clones are killed by him
for not long. Claire could not wrap her head around the fact that something terrible has
happened to Henry, so she comes to the kitchen and experiences a heart attack. Emergency
services arrive at the home, and Elizabeth sees this as a perfect opportunity to escape
or ask for help. However, Oliver warns her that the police will eventually find out about
Henry’s murder. She tells him that she killed her husband out of self-defense, and Oliver
assures her that everything will be fine as long as she listens to him. Both of them team
up to dispose of his body in the backyard secretly. Oliver reveals that Elizabeth is
a product of biogenesis, an experiment led by Henry and Claire, who are both doctors.
They talk about the contents of the forbidden room, where six identical genetic copies or
clones are present. According to Oliver, she is the fifth clone of the Elizabeth Harvest
project. Elizabeth cannot comprehend anything and just breaks into tears. Moments later,
Detective Logan makes his way to the house for another regular visit which means that
they should prepare themselves to brush off any suspicions. Logan is surprised that Elizabeth
is the one welcoming him, as Henry never misses a meeting with him. Out of nowhere, Logan
asks Elizabeth if she contacted emergency services because the station informs him that
a “Mrs. Kellenberg” called to get some help. Oliver saves her by saying that the
emergency was actually for Claire, who is now hospitalized. Unconvinced, Logan asks
more about the situation, but Oliver comes from behind with a rifle and shoots the helpless
detective. Despite his loss of sight, his aim is exceptional; he assures Elizabeth that
she does not feel bad about Logan because he stopped one of the clones to escape death,
bringing her back to the house for Henry to kill. He also admits that Henry is only motivated
by killing the clones after reliving the honeymoon phases. As he gives her more information about
the experiment, Elizabeth becomes more frantic because of her identity crisis, but they have
to store the body in the backyard once again. There, Oliver advises her to pack her bags,
run away as far as possible, and bring a significant amount of money with her. Elizabeth proceeds
to pack her bags; while gathering her things, Oliver enters to ask her if she could read
Claire’s journal to him. Feeling sorry for his inability to read, she opens the journal,
but he locks her inside the closet. Out of agitation, she screams after being tricked
by a blind boy. Feeling defeated, she decides to read the journal to pass the time. Claire’s
story starts five years ago, on the day she was invited by Henry to take part in his study.
He found Claire’s work about neurogeneration very intriguing, but the rest of the medical
field are against their views on this study. The journal entries reveal that the real Elizabeth,
who was Henry's wife, died of a rare medical condition after giving birth to Oliver. Unable
to deal with her passing, Henry decided to create and harvest clones of Elizabeth and
hired Claire to help him perfect the process by “cracking the code.” After three years
of endless tests, she got the formula, and they started to prepare the body for completion.
To instill memories in her, Henry recorded messages and played music for the subjects
every night to let information be absorbed in their minds. The initial test attempts
were abortive because one of the clones appeared disoriented and mentally incapacitated. After
discovering the forbidden room, she runs away and manages to step foot outside the house,
but Logan brings her back. In the present, Oliver brings supper for Elizabeth, so she
knocks him to the ground after he opens the door. She tries to extract the front door
code, where Oliver tells her a combination of numbers after being tied. As she proceeds
to the front door, she realizes that the code is invalid and goes back to Oliver to confront
him, but he has escaped. Fearfully, she grabs a knife before going to the lab, where she
sees Oliver tending to one of the clones. According to him, he refuses to let Elizabeth
go if she does not disclose the contents of the journal and informs him how much Claire
knows about the Elizabeth Harvest project. While Elizabeth looks at her clone intently,
Oliver tranquilizes her, and she gets unconscious as a result. Now a prisoner of Oliver, Elizabeth
is tied to a metal chain in their bedroom, strictly kept inside. No matter how much she
tries to be free from it, her strength is not enough to unchain herself. She continues
to read the journal and finds out that years ago, the cloned Elizabeth who Logan returned
has died because of “suffocation.” Henry claims that he has no idea why, but Claire’s
suspicions are already present. Despite this, she and Henry shared a short-lived affair.
While she is busy reading, Oliver enters the room to give her food and asks her if Claire
has disclosed any information about him in the journal, but Elizabeth says that Claire
did not write about him at all. When she tells Oliver this, he reveals that Henry blinded
him out of jealousy during his childhood because he did not like Oliver's growing friendship
with one of the clones as a child, and after Oliver confronted him of molesting one of
the clones. Henry attacked Oliver in his sleep but claimed that it was because of an electrical
fire that made him blind. In the journal, Claire writes that she did not find any birth
records of the true Elizabeth, putting her under the impression that Oliver is not their
son but rather a person made up by Henry. She suspects that Oliver is a younger clone
of Henry, the revelation of which Claire asked Henry about, and he did not deny it. Finding
out about this, Elizabeth grows more afraid for her life. While she sleeps, Oliver comes
up to her, holding a knife against her neck, desperately asking if Claire has written anything
about him. The nervous Elizabeth tells him about Claire’s suspicion, but she assures
Oliver that he is not Henry because he can still change his ways. She then tries seducing
him in hopes of letting his guards down, which she succeeds at, making him say the code to
unlock the door. After hitting him repeatedly, the sixth Elizabeth appears holding a rifle
and points it at the fifth Elizabeth. Confused about what is happening, she experiences a
dilemma on who to believe. She instructs Elizabeth to fall to the ground. She spots the scissors
and uses them to stab Oliver and shield herself with his body. Disoriented, the new clone
shoots and kills Oliver, which also wounds Elizabeth, but she still makes her way outside
in desperation to escape. Upon her exit, she is fatally wounded by the
new clone, but before she dies, she tells the clone to read Claire’s journal. The
new Elizabeth reads Claire’s journal, which tells how Henry and Claire met and details
their work together on the Elizabeth Harvest project. She also finds out that Claire discovered
that Henry simply wanted to relive his honeymoon night with each new cloned Elizabeth before
brutally killing them. This horrified Claire so much, but she still chose to take his side.
In the present, Claire has recovered from her heart attack and returns to the house
where the final Elizabeth awaits her entrance. She welcomes Claire, hands her the journal,
and tells her to put her studies to better use after saying that she has earned the luxurious
home. Elizabeth makes her way outside, willing to start a life of her own independently.
