Following a rash of mysterious disappearances, a naked teenage boy (Rocky Marquette) covered in blood suddenly appears outside the police station brandishing a gore-spattered hunting knife. Believing him to be involved somehow in the disappearances, Sheriff Jack Sheppard (Timothy V. Murphy) and his partner, Laura Russell (Lindsey Stoddart), take the boy into custody and interrogate him. When the boy starts talking, however, Sheppard's whole world begins to collapse around him.

3/5

3/5
Provides a cast-iron example of that well-known movie maxim: Never Trust A Little Old Lady (at least not one that's played by Patty "The Bad Seed" McCormack). Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Sure, this is filmed like a standard B-movie thriller, but the plot keeps us guessing ... and it's creepy and unsettling enough to give us nightmares. Go to Full Review
