Anne (Crampton) is the dutiful and supportive wife of local pastor Jakob Fedder (Fessenden), but feels that the decades have turned her marriage into a soulless affair. However, a chance encounter with an old flame suddenly exposes Anne to a newer sense of power, as well as an insatiable new appetite that comes with a deadly cost…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Horror legend Barbara Crampton delights in this gory and darkly comic new chiller, which the star of classics like Re-Animator and Castle Freak also produces.
