Ah! This was brilliant!! Stan Winston with some of his finest work and one of the most creative “undead” stories I’ve seen! This was like a rated R Twilight Zone episode!

It will take your breath away. All of it.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply creepy small-town nightmare where the line between the living and the dead dissolves into something far stranger. The film trades in visceral body horror and the suffocating paranoia of not knowing who, or what, your neighbors really are.
