Short description

In 1950s rural Idaho, a young boy watches helplessly as his friends and brother fall under the spell of a mysterious widow living up the road and becomes convinced that she is a vampire.

What's left behind the scenes

Director and screenwriter Philip Ridley later claimed that he personally painted the wheat yellow because he preferred that color.
Viggo Mortensen is listed at the beginning of the credits, but the character he plays does not first appear on screen until the 42nd minute of the film.
