Rating: - Campiness At Its Finest
The year is 1946 and while some last minute soldiers are still making their way home, most of them are already back from the war and are starting up families, going to work or school, or just enjoying their time at home.

Rating:  - low buget shocker is a five star treat,and yes it really did happen
ben johnson,friend of john wayne and oscar winner for the last picture show,stars and makes this low buget thriller really work. this is a case where the lack of money really hels this movie look more like a documentary than a movie,and that adds to the chills it gives you.
