CriticsCritics: 56
AudienceAudience: 6.0

After a group of teenagers accidentally kill a young boy, a grieving father turns to a mysterious backwoods witch for supernatural revenge. Their actions unleash a terrifying creature that begins stalking those connected to the tragedy, transforming the story into a dark rural monster horror tale.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like atmospheric 1980s monster horror, practical creature effects, and revenge stories with a dark supernatural edge; Not for you if you need polished writing or consistently strong acting.
