The gruesome, vividly described events of 1965 left its participants victorious but psychologically damaged. In 1980 the monster returns and snatches Micah's daughter, forcing him to call on his former comrades-in-arms to resume the battle. This intense adventure isn't for the faint of heart, but it will satisfy horror fans who crave gore along with unremitting dread. |
