with witchcraft which is Janet's interest. Dobbs denies it, and tells him that he was
slightly insulted by Janet for insinuating that he knows about black magic.

and Dobbs finds it incredible. Meanwhile, the sheriff's assistant calls,
informing him that she is late due to her car. So he asks her to inquire about the film he brought
to the shop; then she asks him to check the letter on his desk, which is about the burnt man.

arm. He is startled by the sheriff and runs off. the sheriff becomes

pump attendant, and asks her to submit it to the police to check if he is the missing person.
After that, the sheriff immediately takes the film to the shop. He suddenly bumps into the
re-animated doctor. He then asks the doctor if he believes in the possibility of resurrecting
a person after death and getting them to wander around. The doctor finds it unbelievable.
So the sheriff tries to convince him that the flesh he examined was from the man he
hit the night before, not from months ago. However, the doctor refuses to acknowledge it.
He insists that corpses have been missing from their graves. But the doctor calmly tells him
these people have not been returned to life. Suddenly, the sheriff's assistant calls him,
so the sheriff dashes into the office. The assistant reads the information they received
about Dobbs. He discovers that Dobbs was a former chief pathologist on another island,
and was dismissed due to unauthorized use of dead bodies in the county morgue. After hearing that,
the sheriff immediately goes home. As he arrives, he looks for his wife,
but she is not around. He picks up the video camera and plays it. The film shows a couple
playing hormone-hide-and-seek, but suddenly the woman stabs her partner in the back.

of the killings committed by the townsfolk. He proudly reveals that they are his art, and Janet
is his masterpiece, admitting that he has been performing his secret to re-animate the dead,
and the people in their town are all re-animated corpses.
Dobbs confesses that he gave Janet to him as a gift. She is his gem,
whose capacity to live exceeds the others. the sheriff is perplexed and questions his intention.
Dobbs is playing God, and considers himself an artist; he uses the re-animated corpses to
kill more people, so he can do his craft. the sheriff gets infuriated and points the gun
at him. Dobbs challenges the sheriff to kill him, saying he will not die anyway.
Dobbs tries to trigger him more and introduces Janet, who suddenly shows up in his office,
speaking casually to the sheriff. the sheriff gazes at his wife in bewilderment
as she speaks to him blankly. Dobbs tells him she is dead, but the sheriff is in denial.
Then he touches her face, and shockingly he peels off her skin. But Janet is still
talking nonstop while walking toward him. He then points the gun at her and shoots her.
He's frustrated as Janet keeps blabbering despite the wound, so he anxiously reshoots her twice.
Just then, Janet comes to her senses. As she walks backward, she tells the
sheriff she is dead and pleads to bury her. All of a sudden, Dobbs approaches him from behind,
so he immediately shoots him. After that, he dashes into the cemetery and looks for Janet.
He then finds her, and she pleads to bury her again. So the sheriff does as she requested,
and she expresses her love to him before she's entirely suppressed.
Meanwhile, Dobbs gets up and revamps himself. As the sheriff mourns, the townspeople arrive
and pay their respect. He's stunned to discover that all the people he
knows in the town are re-animated corpses. Afterward, he is told to be happy for his wife.

In the last scene, the sheriff returns to Dobbs' office. Dobbs shows him the film where Janet is
stabbing him to death. the sheriff freaks out and stares at his decaying hands. Dobbs then
offers to fix them, implying that the sheriff has also been a re-animated corpse from the start!
