This mysterious movie will suck you in and keep you hooked right until the very end. It is a wonderful example of independent filmmaking that managed to raise its entire budget from local sources.

Most of the actors that appear in the movie are amateurs or inexperienced performers. This makes the film all the more impressive as it certainly holds its own against Hollywood productions from the same era.

Writer and director Don Coscarelli funded most of the movie through donations from friends, family and local businesses and enlisted the help of friends to do most of the production work.

The film opened to mixed reviews but went on to earn a Saturn Award and a Special Jury Award at the Avoriaz Fantastic Film Festival. Yes, it is creepy, but it is also captivating. Give it a try!
