ANYONE IN IT WE KNOW?

Timothy V. Murphy, Stan Kirsch, Lindsey Stoddart, Patricia McCormack

WHAT’S IT ABOUT THEN?

An isolated sheriff's station in the forest is packing-up to leave after the dam project whose community they were serving is completed when a strange teenage boy arrives naked and covered head to toe with blood. He appears uninjured so the three officers suspect he has murdered someone and detain him while they try to identify who he is. 

He is an enigma however - his fingerprints impossibly match multiple missing persons and an analysis of his blood shows many blood types.  The boy has the ability to control his blood which freely flows from him and does things under his direction.  Anyone touching it has strange flashbacks to violent attacks.  Sheriff Jack (Timothy V. Murphy) is determined to puzzle things out since he feels racked with guilt at his inability to save one missing girl a year previously who was one of the fingerprint matches.  But what does the boy want, who is he, and how can they stop his murderous spree?

SO IS IT ANY GOOD?

It's a very good atmospheric chiller about a small isolated group of people under attack from an unknown horror.  Plenty of shocks and a genuine intrigue on who is behind it all.  The special effects are suitably gory and the blood effects are effective.

It's not a star vehicle with no well-known names amongst the cast but this hardly matters.

ANY SPECIAL FEATURES?

Unpreviewed.
