About

The film delves into themes of supernatural phenomena, including psychic visions and mysterious entities. Klein's investigation leads him to interact with a figure named Indrid Cold, who seems to possess supernatural knowledge. As Klein delves deeper, he becomes entangled in a series of eerie events that culminate in a tragic disaster on the Ohio River. The movie features a blend of mystery, suspense, and supernatural elements, drawing inspiration from real events in Point Pleasant during the late 1960s.
