The little coastal town of Clark's Harbor seems like the perfect place for psychiatrist Brad Russell and his wife to get a little peace and spend more time with each other. But the locals don't seem very friendly and every time a storm rolls in another mysterious death occurs... Could an ancient Indian legend of ghostly tribes and human sacrifice have anything to do with it?

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Beautiful, moving film.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Overall plot is a rip-off of "The Fog." The special effects are lifted from Roger Corman-Vincent Price Poe movies (same shots of rolling clouds and lightning endlessly repeated). The two kids can't act; I think the boy was chosen because he could make his eyes real big. Duffy is surprisingly okay. Easy to figure out who's the villain, just look for who isn't around when things happen.

"I'm A Cop, Not A Witch Doctor". ~ Chief WhalenDr. Brad Russell and his wife decide to movie to a nice little coastal town of Clark's Harbor. Seems like a nice place to live although some of the people aren't overly friendly it's still a seemingly alright place to live - it's beautiful and the house is nice. Soon enough one person turns up dead, then another - this happens every time a storm rolls in off the sea. There is an old Indian legend around time but as Chief Whalen says 'legends don't kill people'. Is it ghosts? Is it a crazy murderer? Or is it all a series coincidences?Very atmospheric: storms, fog, dark nights, suspenseful moments, murder. This one is a pretty darn good TV movie. I really enjoyed it. 8/10

Forgettable movie adaptation of a mediocre book by John Saul, an incredibly talented writer of atmospheric horrors/thrillers. Saul,A master of scary novels has some books that are as good or better then King. So-there comes the questions:1)why haven't more of his books been adapted to movies? and 2) why was the ONE book picked cry for the strangers?This story is big on atmosphere I'll give it that but aside from that I wouldn't say it's memorable in the least-and I have been a big fan of Saul. I never even made it fully through the book. The strange thing is, every other-or practically of saul's stories is better. So you gotta wonder:who on earth picked this one?The movie is just another thriller. I think more books should be adapted by Saul, a great writer on many levels. When I think of the great ones I think:"comes the blind fury","punish the sinners", and "The god project" to name a few. all of which would have made superb movies.

Saw this on UK TV some years back - just as my interest in John Saul reached a peak.Not a bad film, really - considering the TV-movie limitations imposed on it - but not so great either.If you like John Saul give it a go - otherwise......don't bother.
