09/13/24 • 103 min
In the spring of 2017, the Chicago land area would find itself rocked by numerous sightings of a strange, 7-foot-tall, emaciated, humanoid with glowing eyes.

The witnesses were just as varied, rich and poor, from police and loading dock workers to professional athletes and people just out walking their dogs.
