The premise
A young soldier who was thought to be killed in Vietnam returns home and exhibits disturbing behavior, much to the confusion of his family.
Horror Vault's take
A Vietnam soldier presumed dead makes an unexpected return home, but something is deeply, irreversibly wrong with him. His family struggles to reconcile the person they loved with the increasingly disturbing presence now living under their roof. This quiet, dread-soaked film weaponizes domestic familiarity against the viewer, turning the family home into a site of mounting horror. It stands as a uniquely bleak entry in 1970s horror, using the wounds of the Vietnam era as its dark emotional engine.
