A low-budget 1950s sci-fi horror about an alien intelligence that possesses humans and animals on an isolated farm, trading on paranoia and body-horror dread rather than spectacle.

At a decrepit farm outside a remote American desert community, something takes over the minds of some of the local humans and animals and is able to see through their eyes and control their actions.
