The police are perplexed that Erin was able to accomplish in five minutes what their entire department could not accomplish in months. the Boones were a family who farmed the ancient land, and they still have a living cousin by the name of Millie. Mr. Wrede Prescott, who wanted the dam to be erected for financial reasons and made an example of Maynard and two other people to do it, left Maynard Nathaniel Boone at the bottom of the lake, according to Millie. The dam has endured for 90 years despite a yearly petition pleading with the state to have it demolished.

Erin and Finn are already aware of the company’s name because Jeffrey works there. He is responsible for the case to maintain the dam’s functionality. He is also a Prescott, which clarifies a lot, though. In the muddled flow of the plot, the coin-dropping revelation by Jeffrey that he not only heads the investigation keeping the Prescott dam up but also that he and his family are decedents of the evil guy who built it loses its impact. The inhabitants of the lake sought vengeance on Jake since he was Prescott’s blood. Finn is also at risk as a result of this. The lights go out, and all the bodies that Wrede’s greed left at the bottom of the lake rise to the surface and start marching towards the lake home.

By the film’s conclusion, the lake’s numerous dead bodies are wandering the landscape and dragging Jeffrey (Sears) into the water to perish. The moment, in which the zombies attack the witch academy. Jeffrey’s wife makes an effort to come up with one, claiming Jake’s death was all a ruse to draw Jeffrey close by, but it falls short.
