The film ‘Laid to Rest’, is a glimpse into the psyche of a ghost trapped in purgatory. Jessie is a woman who is frozen in time and stuck in a moment. As she tries to escape this hellish cemetery, she is slowly suffocating. She explores a shattered relationship gone horribly wrong, and the give and take of this strange world of ours. ‘Laid to Rest’ is a deeply emotional story exploring twisted psychological emotions and the horror that lies trapped in our own minds.
