Editor's Note
Young lovers on a cross-country trip stop in a small Nebraska community and make a shocking discovery. One day, three years prior to the couples' arrival, the town's children killed all of the grown-ups at the apparent behest of a demon simply dubbed "He Who Walks Behind the Rows." Based on a short story from horror scribe Stephen King's "Night Shift" collection, this film spawned a slew of bloody sequels.
Plot Summary
While driving through Nebraska, a young doctor and his girlfriend stumble upon a religious cult comprising murderous demon-worshiping preteens.
