A bold and brilliantly constructed cross between Pet Sematary and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the debut feature from writer-director Lee Cronin is a genre game changer that masterfully builds the tension, delivers the frights and leaves the audience reeling. “Sends shivers down your spine from beginning to end… very very creepy” – Fortean Times Synopsis: Sarah moves her precocious son Chris to a secluded new home in a…
