The premise
After a bizarre and near fatal encounter with a serial killer, a newswoman is sent to a rehabilitation center whose inhabitants may not be what they seem.
Horror Vault's take
When a traumatized TV newswoman retreats to a secluded woodland retreat on her therapist's advice, she hopes to recover from a deeply disturbing encounter with a notorious killer. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by a community of residents whose strange behavior and nocturnal habits raise chilling suspicions. Joe Dante's cult classic delivers razor-sharp practical creature effects and a wicked satirical edge alongside its genre thrills.
