Monster Horror

Die USA in den 1960er-Jahren: Harry Turner, ein geradezu fanatischer Verehrer des Horror-Autors H. P. Lovecraft, macht sich an die Verwirklichung eines gewaltigen Vorhabens.

Harrys komplette Familie arbeitet an dem Projekt mit, obwohl seine pragmatisch veranlagte Frau und seine beiden Töchter die Augen vor der gruseligen Wahrheit verschließen: Die Monster, die im Geisterhaus der Turners ihr Unwesen treiben, sind echt.

Eva thinks she can use her feminine wiles to woo Knox, but he has a couple more minions than they thought - and she ends up getting tossed through the window.

Death, it seems, isn’t always the end. I was a soldier, fighting for the lives of the whole damned world, when I went and got myself obliterated by this alien f**k. I figured that was it.
