The premise
John Hall is a drifter who wanders into a small town in Maine. He needs a job and decides to seek employment at the community's top business: a large textile mill. He is hired to work the "graveyard shift" -- from around midnight to dawn -- and, along with a few others, he is charged with cleaning out the basement. This task strikes the workers as simple enough, but then, as they proceed deeper underground, they encounter an unspeakable monstrosity intent on devouring them all.
Horror Vault's take
A drifting loner takes a late-night job at a rundown Maine textile mill, only to find that the real danger isn't the grueling hours or the ruthless foreman — it's what lurks in the labyrinthine depths beneath the factory floor. Based on a Stephen King short story, this blue-collar horror plunges a ragtag crew of workers deeper underground on a seemingly routine cleanup job that turns into a desperate fight for survival. The oppressive industrial setting amplifies every shadow and skittering sound, building dread long before the carnage begins. Fans of King adaptations will recognize the bleak New England atmosphere and the sense that ordinary people are utterly unprepared for what the darkness holds.
