Erin designed it to keep her lover around, but when she eventually chose her husband anyway, Otto snapped and killed them both. It's revealed that he is Erin's lover Otto, who was living in a hidden space behind the closet. When Kevin receives a message from Natalie to stay out for the night, Natalie is attacked again and chained up by the tall, thin man who it turns out has been living in the house the whole time. Robert denies attacking Natalie in the night or poisoning Kevin and their dog, and he's telling the truth. He's severely in debt and needed the house for money, so he was trying to scare them into leaving. This wasn't Natalie, of course, but Claudia's husband Robert who was also responsible for the weird post. The stranger came to the house as he saw an advert online where Natalie supposedly spoke of wanting to be attacked. The police think that Natalie has been slowly poisoning her husband, but when she's attacked by a random stranger who tries to sexually assault her, the truth is revealed. Shortly afterwards, Kevin collapses and doctors discover that nerium, which can be lethal in big doses, was found in his bloodstream. Natalie continues to experience weird events in the house and finds photos of her sleeping on her phone, as well as seeing a "rail thin, pale" man in the house. As he walks Natalie out, he offers to buy the house back from them at a reduced rate, but she refuses. She finds out that Jay and Erin were having marriage troubles as Jay was cheating on Erin with a succession of women, while Erin was getting her own back by having an affair with a mystery man.Ĭlaudia doesn't think her brother killed himself and his wife, but isn't allowed to elaborate as her husband Robert interrupts. To try and get to the bottom of things, Natalie goes to see Claudia to find out what happened to the previous owners. However, things start getting more sinister as first Natalie's sister Dani disappears in the house, and then Odi has to be put down after ingesting poison. When Natalie reports the events to the police, they find nobody on the security footage and Kevin puts it down to a "paranoid hallucination" due to the stress they're both under. They also keep receiving weird mail in their name that they never ordered, like porn magazines, but it seems that there is somebody in the house as Natalie is attacked during the night. It's not just things going bump in the night that happen after the couple move in. It's Jay's sister Claudia who sells the house to Kevin and Natalie, much to the displeasure of her husband Robert. We later learn that these two were Erin, who designed the entire house (that's important for later), and her husband Jay. The bloody opening sees a panicked woman talking to 911 before we hear a gunshot and the camera pans up from her dead body to another corpse missing half of its face, presumably somebody who died by suicide after killing the woman. It's definitely not a true-crime tale though and is a fictional account. Motion Picture Exchange Aftermath ending explainedĪftermath opens by claiming to be inspired by true events, but it's not exactly clear what those true events were and how closely they followed what happened in the movie. Weird stuff starts happening almost immediately in classic haunted house tropes, like their dog Odi barking at an empty closet and things disappearing and reappearing in a different place.īut who or what is actually haunting the house? We're about to delve into major spoilers about the ending, so look away now if you haven't seen Aftermath yet. It doesn't sound like a promising beginning to a fresh start and so it quickly proves after Natalie and Kevin move in. They only know about the home as Kevin is working as a crime-scene cleaner and had recently worked there after a gruesome murder-suicide involving the previous inhabitants.
The thriller stars Twilight's Ashley Greene and X-Men's Shawn Ashmore as Natalie and Kevin, a couple who are trying to salvage their marriage and decide the best way to do it is to move to a new home.

While not a Netflix Original movie, Aftermath ticks a lot of boxes of the type of movie that could be huge on the streaming service.
