Horror Vault's take

When a Washington journalist finds himself inexplicably drawn to a quiet West Virginia town, he discovers its residents are being terrorized by a mysterious winged entity that defies rational explanation. Strange visions, prophetic phone calls, and creeping dread pile up as he struggles to separate truth from delusion — and to understand what this dark presence wants. Rooted in real-life urban legend, the film builds an atmosphere of suffocating unease rather than conventional scares. Richard Gere anchors a story that feels less like a ghost story and more like a waking nightmare from which no logic can save you.
