Horror

A young soldier who was thought to be killed in Vietnam returns home and exhibits disturbing behavior, much to the confusion of his family.

This is a grim, atmospheric descent into 70s Canadian horror. It feels like a dusty, forgotten grindhouse flick, blending supernatural dread with the lingering trauma of war. Expect unsettling vibes and a slow-burn creepiness.
