From the
director of Gremlins and Piranha comes the ultimate masterpiece of primal
terror. Filled with edge-of-your-seat suspense, this riveting werewolf tale
sinks its teeth into your deepest fears and never lets go.
Severely
shaken after a near-fatal encounter with a serial killer, T.V. newscaster Karen
White (Dee Wallace, E.T.) takes some much-needed time off. Hoping to
conquer her inner demons, she heads for "the Colony," a secluded
retreat where her new neighbors are just a tad too eager to make her feel at
home. Also, there seems to be a bizarre link between her would-be
attacker and this supposedly safe have. And when, after nights of being
tormented by savage shrieks and unearthly cries, Karen ventures into the forest
to find answers, she makes a terrifying discovery. Now she must fight not
only for her life... but for her very soul!
