Local legend has it that the Fowler Funeral Home in Santa Loraina, CA, is plagued with death of the most unnatural kind. Rumored to have been purchased to launch a ranching business by Zeb Fowler, the land was subsequently converted into a funeral home when the cattle all began dying of a mysterious and undiagnosed ailment. When Zeb and his wife gave birth to a hideously disfigured boy named Bobby soon thereafter, the story took a strange turn as the pair attempted to shelter their son by covering his face with a burial shroud. After young Bobby disappeared at the age of eight and his parents were found brutally murdered a decade later, rumors began to swirl around the community that Bobby may still be alive. Now single mother Leslie Doyle (Denise Crosby) has moved into the long-abandoned and hideously decrepit home with aspirations of restoring it and taking on the role of town mortician for the town of Santa Loraina, and, along with her children, Jonathon (Dan Byrd) and Jamie (Stephanie Patton), she is about to discover that some legends never die. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Nothing but the usual schlocky scares featured in low-rent zombie pics.
-
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Traz um susto ou outro, mas, de modo geral, a avalanche de clichês, a direção burocrática de Hooper, as péssimas atuações e os ridículos efeitos visuais acabam tornando-se excessivamente irritantes.
-
Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, Dread Central
It's good to see Hooper back in form and doing what he does best.
-
Staci Layne Wilson, Horror.com
The DVD has a lot of additional release material, which is sure to please Hooper's fans.
