Why tonight?

  • Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
  • It goes hard on violence and frights — not a wind-down.

The story

Thirty years after a murder on the night of Avalon Bay's graduation dance, the sleepy town's teens meet grisly ends at the hands of a prowler once thought to be a jilted soldier home from war.
