This dark, brooding low-budget effort opens in Vietnam, where young infantryman Andy Brooks (Richard Backus) is struck down by a sniper's bullet. At the same time in Andy's hometown, his poor mother is uttering a desperate prayer for Andy to come home... and shortly thereafter, he does. Despite Mrs. Brooks' exultation at her son's safe return, it becomes apparent to the rest of the family that there's something terribly wrong with Andy; he won't do much more than sit in a chair, staring blankly

Bob Clark (PORKY'S, A CHRISTMAS STORY) and screenwriter Alan Ormsby (MY BODYGUARD, CAT PEOPLE) get extra points for an early and knowing response to the reintegration process of U.S. soldiers returning from Vietnam. At this late date the film has no value as a horror flick, its scares predictable and without any sense

Not a lot happens in this spooky, sometimes creepy tale from the 70s. It moves slowly, but effectively for the most part. Worth watching to see how they handle the genre.
