“The Cleanest Kill on Earth.”
Directed by Tobe Hooper
🏆 1 nomination
The premise
A young man learns that his parents had been used in an atomic-weapons experiment shortly before his birth, and that the results have had some unexpected effects on him.
Horror Vault's take
When a young man uncovers the dark truth about his parents' involvement in a secret Cold War-era atomic experiment, he begins to realize the disturbing legacy it has left inside his own body. What starts as a search for answers quickly spirals into a terrifying confrontation with forces he can neither fully understand nor control. Brad Dourif brings his signature intensity to a story that blurs the line between personal nightmare and government cover-up.
