The dead of night changed the lives of many... and ended the lives of some.

Horror

A young soldier who was thought to be killed in the line of duty in Vietnam returns home shortly thereafter, much to the confusion of his family. Upon his return, he exhibits strange, withdrawn behavior and begins wandering the streets at night.

VIBE

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.
