The premise
It is 1879 in the Dakota Territories, a band of men who set out to find and recover a family of settlers that has mysteriously vanished from their home. Expecting the offenders to be a band of fierce natives, but they soon discover that the real enemy stalks them from below.
Horror Vault's take
Set against the unforgiving Dakota Territories of 1879, a ragged posse rides out to rescue a settler family that has vanished without a trace — assuming human culprits are to blame. What they find instead is something far older and far stranger lurking beneath the earth. The Western landscape, usually a stage for human conflict, becomes hostile territory of a different kind entirely. Equal parts frontier thriller and creature horror, The Burrowers earns its dread the slow, suffocating way.
