ComingSoon is debuting an exclusive, previewing the upcoming Norwegian horror movie from Neon starring Renate Reinsve, which is out in select theaters on June 7.

Check out the exclusive Handling the Undead clip below (watch other clips and trailers):
“On a hot summer day in Oslo, the dead mysteriously awaken, and three families are thrown into chaos when their deceased loved ones come back to them. Who are they, and what do they want?” reads the synopsis. “A family is faced with the mother’s reawakening before they have even mourned her death after a car accident; an elderly woman gets the love of her life back the same day she has buried her; a grandfather rescues his grandchild from the gravesite in a desperate attempt to get his daughter out of her depression. Handling the Undead is a drama with elements of horror about three families, a story about grief and loss, but also about hope and understanding of what we can’t comprehend or control.”
