Dan Gillis (James Farentino) and his wife (Melody Anderson) have moved to small New England town Potters Bluff, where Dan is to be the new Sheriff. They quickly discover strange goings on: people who have turned up dead, presumably murdered, appear to turn up again shortly after, alive and well. An 80's cult favorite.

From the shocking opening scene to the, well, shocking ending, this is a great flick. An underappreciated film in the horror canon.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere in this one. Any horror movie involving messed up things happening within the insular, provincial community of a small coastal town—I'm in!
