After a six-month stint in a psychiatric facility, Jessica (Zohra Lampert) moves with her husband, Duncan (Barton Heyman), and their hippie friend, Woody (Kevin O’Connor), to a remote farm they recently purchased in New England.
There, they find a strange young red-haired woman named Emily (Mariclare Costello) camping out in the farmhouse and invite her to stay.
It turns out that she looks just like someone named Abigail Bishop, who had lived in the house and drowned in the local lake in 1880, and she’s more than a little loco.
Psychologically fragile, Jessica is forever hearing strange voices and seeing strange bodies and faces, and the film constantly teeters between her hysterical state and a reality so unreal as to be absurd.
What poor old Jessica has stumbled into seems to be a nest of vampires. They’re on the loose all over the farm and the village.
Or is what Jessica sees merely a delusion of a damaged mind unable to grasp reality?
