A sheriff named Dan Gillis (James Farentino) investigates several grisley murders in his small town of Potters Bluff.
During his investigation he slowly discovers that dead people are coming back to life and killing visitors to the community. He also discovers a book on witchcraft and voodoo in his wife Janet's dresser.
Janey (Melody Anderson) is a school teacher and all really seems normal, but Dan knows something isn't right, so he consults with the town coronor, Bill Dobbs (Jack Albertson).
After this encounter Dan really does suspect his wife is in on the murders, but all is NOT what it seems and Dan learns the terrible truth at the end of the movie. I'm not going to say anymore. If you haven't seen this you should. It took me 44 years to finally see it again.
The killings in this film are really gruesome and the needle in the eye scene is an excellent special effect handled by Stan Winston, of course. The Blu-ray presentation is top notch and the extras are very informative about the making of this movie.
This is a highly recommended thriller that really has a great twist that you'll not soon forget. I hadn't forgotten it in 44 years.
