Plot

Tina arrives from abroad in her former home which she inherited from her parents,[4] when she receives the news of her mother's suicide and her father's disappearance. The refrigerator starts taking lives, starting with Tina's friend's pet cat. Her manager tries to give her another chance, until the refrigerator takes him alive, despite Tina trying to rescue him from the tentacles. When she and her boyfriend try to open the refrigerator, they are sprayed with blood.

The refrigerator is later revealed to be cursed by a demon who her mother made a deal with to sate her vengeance on her husband, according to a former detective turned hunter who was obsessed with the case involving her parents. Tina's mother killed the women who she suspects to be her husband's mistresses, chopping them up and feeding their corpses on the refrigerator, until the police saw her corpse in the refrigerator. The detective was blinded when he tried to open the refrigerator. They also consult with the priest, giving them instructions to defeat the demon. Her father appears as a grotesque faced man, when he accidentally doused with boiling oil while he was cooking and he fell upon the floor, following the cauldron.

When they prepare an explosive formula to destroy the refrigerator, Tina's father sacrifices himself as bait as the refrigerator drags him. The couple push the refrigerator, Tina descends to the hole, revealing the demon's victims, some dead, others barely conscious. She lights the bomb, but her mother appears holding a cleaver and fights her own daughter, but her father, barely conscious, holds his wife and asks Tins to leave. The bomb goes off, destroying the hellhole and the refrigerator and saving the couple.
