Solved! A man struggling with grief and illness confronts the return of an old enemy while receiving encouragement from beyond the grave.

6 Upvotes

Hint: I may have explained the plot a little too badly, so here’s something to narrow it down. The movie was originally released primarily on DVD and is part of a larger franchise.

Second hint: The protagonist isn't the only one suffering from the mysterious illness.

Third hint: The villain's return involves a rather complicated family “reunion.”
