This starts off with a real bang. The incredible tension that builds in the first few minutes is gut wrenching. There seems to be a family going on a vacation to Niagara Falls but the boy in the back is terrified. The two adults are incredibly tense. When their car breaks down they are forced to stay the night in a motel, but their lives are cut short, seemingly by the boy. When the inexperienced deputy begins to analyze things, she finds herself in over her head. She calls in an old friend of the family, Harry, who reluctantly goes back to the town where he was born. There is a real tension there as well. He begins to look into things and stays with an old friend, but even that is creepy. Of course, Harry is pretty weird himself.
