About this release
Strange events begin occurring when a rural widow (Maren Jensen) is visited by two friends from the city (Sharon Stone, Susan Buckner). It turns out that the religious organization which the woman's dead husband belonged to is a bit more than it seems, with a fanatical leader (Ernest Borgnine) to boot.
