An 
company.
I remember seeing this film as a kid on late-night television and have searched for it for years (not remembering the title). Actually, it takes place very near to where I live, but anyway, this is NOT an exploitation film in the usual sense. Certainly a low-budget effort with varying degrees of amateur acting and strong portrayals, you do feel the smothering mood of impending doom for these folks. The casting of Seamon Glass (remember him in DELIVERANCE?) was essential to the reality of this tale since he doesn't seem to be acting at all. A perfect late-night tale of confusion and fear with a perfect ending.
They must have filmed this in four or five days. Who was right in the end? I miss these old black and white low-budget efforts. They formed their own reality when they weren't making fun of serious topics as in this case. Definitely a 7. It's on DVD. Check it out.
