"The size of a dragon... And something about eyes, cat's eyes. And the old man, the Indian. Didn't he describe that creature as being a part of everything in God's creation?" - Dr. Robert Verne

Why watch this? ... to see if you are brave enough to endure the creature...

Plot Summary: This horror film follows an environmental agent and his wife to a logging operation in Maine where a dispute has arisen between the company and a local Native American tribe. They investigate accusations that the paper mill is poisoning the environment and discover a horrifying truth lurking in the wilderness. Soon, they become entangled in a terrifying fight for survival against something terribly dangerous.

Dad's Preview: This film is special to me because my best friend, David, narrated the entire plot to me late one night when sleeping over. I was terrified and could not wait to see it. He was right, because this film is really scary, especially the night scenes, where the monster is lurking in the forest, just out of sight. It may seem campy now, but I still can't watch it at night alone without all the lights on!
