Farley Wilder (Matt Farley) is an adrift young man, spending his days as a voyeur peeping in the windows of cavorting women. When he’s not living up to his reputation as the town weirdo, he’s disappointing his overbearing father. Though his father just wishes his aimless son (now “too old for college”) would finally get a job, Farley quietly brews with resentment until one day, it unleashes in a bloody wrath! Sent away for his crimes, who will save Farley’s small New Hampshire town when its woods become overrun by beasts known as Trogs?
A tribute to one of Farley and Roxburgh’s all-time favorite B-movies, Silent Night, Deadly Night 2, this early-career outing is also the Motern duo’s first and only foray into 35 mm filmmaking. The muted colors and homey, old-fashioned quality to the film grain gives this autumnal-set horror film the perfect Halloween vibe.
