Cheryl Smith stars as Lila Lee a young woman whose father is a gangster. In the opening scene we see him killing both his wife and her lover with a machine gun and then driving off into a mysterious place where he is attacked by ghouls.
Lila is adopted by a minister and his church. We never learn his name but we certainly know he has an unhealthy desire for Lila. One day she receives a mysterious note from a woman named Lemora (Leslie Taplin) saying that her father is dying and wants to see her one last time before he passes away.
Lila leaves in the middle of the night and takes a strange little bus toa weird place where the first thing she sees are monsters running thru the woods, and those same monsters kill the driver played by Hy Pyke.
Lila meets Lemora and things get really weird as the young woman wants nothing to do with Lemora and her minions.
The ending of the film is a nice, but unexpected surprise in whcih the minister also gets his cumuppance. The entire vibe of this film is different from anything I have seen before.
Director Richard Blackburn has made a very unique and bizarre horror tale told from the prospective of a young girl who really has no purpose in life until the very end of the movie.
If you haven't seen this movie you should. I really recommend this and it goes perfectly with the Halloween season.
