The Risen (2001)

In the year 1865, the world saw a phenomenon that had not occured before or since in recorded history--a month without a full moon. While science saw it as merely a calendrical anomaly, 2 grieving wives affected by the American Civil War saw hope and turned in desperation to the power and promises of Black Magic to return their loved ones to them. On sacred grounds, a sacrifice of blood from the grieving is required to bring the beloved back to rise again.

135 years later, gravedigger Arthur Roth unknowingly stumbles upon the same grounds to open a new lot for the cemetery he works for. But while Roth is unknowing, he is far from innocent. He bears the burden of a horrible secret--one that his wife Adrian holds above his head and stands to bring crashing down upon him should she become aware of his mistress, Rebecca.

As the exposure of his infidelity and the revelation of his secret draws near, Roth’s world is turned upside down. But as he will soon find out, he is not the only one with a secret, and while life an be the cause of misery, death can be just the beginning!
