The movie opens with a man named Dan Kessler (Daniel Baldwin) seeing his wife killed and his children pulled underground by a group of weird monsters.
After the credits we move to 5 years later and Kessler returns to the town where he was trying to raise his family before they were killed. Prophet Hills hasn't changed much, but it does have a dark secret.
The movie never tells us where Dan has been for the last five years, but he meets a man who wrote a book about mysterious disappearances and he decides to try and convice his late wife's sister that the creatures are real and will soon be coming back.
Nothing works out thanks to the interference of the local Mayor (Brad Dourif) and soon these monsters are running all over town eating people.
These attack scenes are well done and the creatures do look pretty damned good for a modern film. There is some, but not a lot of gore and the movie ends on an open note and an interesting twist at the end involving Kessler and his missing children.
It isn't a great film, but it did pass the time and it held my attention. You could do much worse as far as movies go. Worth seeing once anyway.
The rest of the cast includes James Russo, Shannon Zeller, Jennifer Kincer and James Arthur Lewis.
