Undeadable

Wade Stuckwitch hasn't left his house in years. When a mysterious talking doll named Todd arrives in the mail, it delivers news both miraculous and terminal: Wade has won the lottery, he has a brain tumor that will kill him, and his wife Caroline will take enough in the divorce to make the cure unaffordable. Todd's solution is simple — kill her.

But Caroline won't stay dead. Poisoned, dismembered, blended, and disposed of, she reappears every morning as if nothing happened — until Wade realizes his wife isn't just resilient. She's feeding on him. And the only way to survive a soul-sucking demon may be to become someone whose soul isn't worth eating.

Undeadable is a horror-comedy that earns both words the hard way. It's not a man-vs-monster story wearing a marriage as metaphor — it's a marriage story that turns out to be a monster movie, and the line between the two never fully resolves. The comedy is merciless, the horror is domestic, and the protagonist's name is Stuckwitch, which tells you everything about the script's sense of humor and its sense of stakes. This is genre filmmaking that treats its audience like adults.

The production math is elegant. One house, two actors, one puppet. The reset structure means every dollar of production design pays off multiple times. And the concept lands in one sentence at a pitch meeting or in a thumbnail on a streaming platform: a man keeps killing his wife, but she keeps coming back hungrier. This one starts with murder and gets worse from there.
