The premise
Nathan Hayes is a religious man trying to hold onto his farm and keep his family in line. A real estate developer is trying to buy most of the farm property in the area, including Mr. Hayes’ family farm, in the hope that the Tennesse Valley Authority will choose the town for the site of a new dam and recreational area. The night of a terrible storm, an unidentified, glowing object crashes on the Hayes farm and with it comes a horrible curse for the family and other members of the community.
Horror Vault's take
When a mysterious glowing object crashes onto a Tennessee farm during a violent storm, it sets in motion a slow, creeping horror that poisons everything it touches — the land, the livestock, and the people who depend on both. Young Nathan watches helplessly as his already fractured family buckles under the weight of something far beyond a bad harvest. Director David Keith's adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft story fuses rural americana with sci-fi dread, delivering a grimly effective tale of contamination and decay. The idyllic farmland backdrop makes the encroaching wrongness all the more disturbing.
