The core action of this film takes place in the basement where the ill
son's bedroom is located. In the basement is the once embalming
room. It's used a metaphorical image as the “gateway” of the spirits

EMBALMING
“An embalmer is someone who has been trained in the art and
science of embalming and may not have any contact with the family,
although many people fill both roles. Embalming training commonly
involves formal study in anatomy, thanatology, chemistry, and
specific embalming theory combined with practical instruction in a
mortuary with a resultant formal qualification granted after the
passing of a final practical examination and acceptance into a
recognized embalming body.”

research.”
