This is quite a nice little lost horror gem. First of all, I am a sucker for movies about towns with secrets and creepy townfolk (see original Wicker Man). This was written by Dan O'bannon (Alien and Return of the Living Dead fame) and also features a bit part by the soon-to-be-famous Rober Englund (Freddy Kreuger).
The story centers around a small-town sherrif played by James Farentino who is trying to figure out who is killing tourists. Well, it turns out, we find out pretty quickly, it's local townspeople doing the killing. The question actually is... why are they killing tourists and why are they filming it?! Overall, this film has a nice creepy, cold and foggy, atmosphere.

There are a few gore effects added on by the studio to give it more commercial appeal, but the overall story still is intact. There are several especially good sequences, my favorite being when the creepy mortician repairs a womans crushed face. For horror fans, you might find this to be of interest.
