When she and her boyfriend tried to open the refrigerator, they were sprayed with blood.
The refrigerator was later revealed to be cursed by a demon who her mother made a deal with to sate her vengeance on her husband (Joel Torre), according to a former policeman/detective turned hunter who was obsessed with the case involving her parents. Tina's mother killed the woman 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 policeman/detective was blinded when he tried to open the refrigerator.

When they prepared the formula, the father sacrificed himself as bait. The refrigerator dragged him. The couple pushed the refrigerator, Tina descends to the hole, revealing the demon's victims, some dead, others barely conscious. She lighted the bomb, but her mother appears holding a cleaver.
