The premise

The storm-swept and depopulated town of Leffert’s Corners has been terrorized for decades by grotesque creatures that breed in the depths beneath the local cemetery. A group of townspeople have hatched a last-ditch plan to destroy the ghoul-infested graveyard, but their mission is interrupted by the arrival of a band of violent thieves intent on retrieving money hidden in one of the graves.

Horror Vault's take

Leffert's Corners is a ghost town with a grim secret: something monstrous has been festering beneath its graveyard for generations, picking off anyone foolish enough to stay. A desperate band of survivors has finally decided to end the nightmare for good — but their plans unravel when a crew of armed criminals rolls in chasing buried loot. What follows is a claustrophobic collision of human ruthlessness and ancient, inhuman hunger. Based on a tale by H.P. Lovecraft, this low-budget creature feature leans hard into pulpy, gore-soaked thrills.
