The premise

Folklore professor Albert Wilmarth investigates legends of strange creatures in the most remote hills of Vermont. His enquiry reveals a terrifying glimpse of the truth that lurks behind the legends.

Horror Vault's take

When folklore professor Albert Wilmarth begins probing reports of unearthly creatures haunting the remote hills of Vermont, what starts as academic curiosity spirals into something far more dangerous. Shot in atmospheric black and white, this faithful adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's classic story immerses viewers in a world where ancient legends and cosmic terror bleed unsettlingly into one another. The further Wilmarth digs, the more he suspects that some truths were never meant to be uncovered.
