A quiet New England town becomes the site of a grisly murder, leaving a young man dead and his girlfriend in critical condition.

With the realization that a maniac is on the loose — and with the help of police chief (John Ireland) and newspaper columnist (Kerrie Keane) — Sam must unravel the mystery before additional murders occur, all the while unaware that his own daughter might be the next victim. An intense and disturbing supernatural slasher from the director of Legend of Hell House.
