The premise
A teenage boy and his friends face off against a mysterious grave robber, known only as the Tall Man, who employs a lethal arsenal of unearthly weapons.
Horror Vault's take
When strange things begin happening around the local mortuary, a resourceful teenager grows convinced that the enigmatic undertaker known only as the Tall Man is far more sinister than he appears. What starts as grief-fueled curiosity pulls him and his older brother into a nightmare that defies the laws of nature. Don Coscarelli's low-budget cult landmark blends dreamlike dread with genuinely inventive horror imagery, making the line between reality and hallucination impossible to trust. Few genre films from its era have left such a lasting impression on the horror landscape.
