The plot opens with the murder-suicide of Dani's sister and her parents. Early into the movie Dani receives a worrying email from her sister, who has been troubled for a long time. She tries contacting her back and asking their parents, but no success. It's revealed that her sister filled the house with car fumes, killing everyone outside. The aftermath is portrayed graphically, as we see the parents' bodies laying in bed and the sister with a hose attached to her mouth, with bloodshot eyes and vomit on her clothes. Shortly after, we see Dani's reaction as she has a panic attack at home. The grief Dani feels at the loss of her family is an overarching theme, as she's still recovering, which allows the cult to lovebomb her. Pele also mentions losing his parents in a fire, which is used as a way to get her to relate to him and thus allow herself to be further lovebombed.

Yes. It’s pretty sad and disturbing how they die, especially the youngest daughter having to see most of her family as deadites. They are visibly dead and corpse-like, though they can walk and speak.
