Wikipedia article
'Finale' is a 2009 horror film directed by John Michael Elfers and starring Carolyn von Hauck. Inspired by actual events from the director's life, FINALE is reminiscent of 'Suspiria', 'Hellraiser' and 'Rosemary's Baby', shot in super 16mm to capture an authentic 1970s feel, with all practical in-camera effects, borrowed from the lost arts of early film magicians.
The film was released in the United States on May 25, 2010, after premiering at A Night of Horror in Sydney Australia, and Screamfest in the U.S. in 2009.
Plot
A mother descends into madness after the apparent suicide of her eldest son.

But when Helen's investigation threatens to destroy her sanity in addition to her daughter's life, she realises that the only exit from the nightmare is the very route attempted by her dead son.
