The premise

A simple yet proud rancher conspires to murder his wife for financial gain, convincing his teenage son to participate.

Horror Vault's take

Set against the unforgiving Nebraska farmland of the 1920s, this adaptation of a Stephen King novella follows a stubborn rancher who hatches a dark scheme to hold onto the land he loves — at a terrible human cost. What begins as a cold act of calculated greed curdles into something far more haunting, as the weight of sin proves impossible to bury. Secrets fester, relationships fracture, and the line between guilt-fueled nightmare and genuine supernatural menace grows dangerously thin. King's slow, suffocating brand of rural dread is on full display here.
