The first warning flag waved in his face (and ignored) arrives during a hike through the woods with Phil. The Cayles nestle into daily routine as Michael arranges his office in the house.

Phil lives with grandson Tyler (Anthony Del Negro, graduating from his small role in “Dead Souls”) and terminally ill wife Rosy (Marty Gargle), who is also afflicted with deep facial scars. I’ve grown so accustomed to the name-above-the-title star occupying less screen time than an extra in these movies (looking at you, Danny Trejo and Eric Roberts), it was a pleasant surprise to see him in a bona fide supporting turn. Young daughter Jessica (Athena Grant) isn’t so keen on the locale, vomiting the moment she steps onto the property.Ĭlassing the joint up is Dean Stockwell, who plays a much more integral part as neighbor Phil than expected. Initially chagrined by the absence of a pay television provider (and perhaps his own inability to properly research a town he plans to grow old in), he’s encouraged to embrace the simpler life by spouse Cristine, portrayed by poor man’s Jessica Biel, Kristen Bush. Michael Cayle (Sean Patrick Thomas, “The Fountain”) uproots his family from The Big Apple to open a local practice in Ashborough, a quiet New Hampshire community.

How I miss Fessenden’s big-ass fish, friends. One of the worst of last year’s batch (though it was released in 2012), and we’re talking about the year I had to dedicate hundreds of words to “ Midget Zombie Takeover.” Could the third time be that proverbial charm? The second up for consideration was “ Dead Souls,” a confounding parade of ghosts, senseless dog murder, zombies and Bill Moseley looking embarrassed. Larry Fessenden’s “ Beneath,” concerning unlikeable teens being eaten by a giant fish puppet, was somehow much better than it should have been. In the bygone era of 2013, I reviewed a couple of Chiller Films originals, the products of that most welcome addition to basic cable, Chiller TV. Soon after arriving, however, he discovers the town’s deepest secret: a terrifying and controlling race of creatures that live amongst the darkness in the woods behind his home. Michael Cayle thought leaving the chaotic lifestyle of New York City behind for the quiet, small town of Ashborough would bring his family closer together.
