Brand new 4K restoration of S.F. Brownrigg's hillbilly horror classic!

On a romantic vacation at a lakeside cabin in Texas, city gal Helen Fraser (Norma Moore) flees into the backwoods after a lurking, unseen psycho slays her husband with an axe. Lost and panicked, she runs into Odie Pickett (Gene Ross), the mean, moonshine-swilling patriarch to a degenerate clan of hillbillies. Helen becomes trapped in Pickett’s isolated rural shack, confronted with the family’s wretched life of poverty and abuse, while the maniacal killer stalks the woods, striking again and again…
