Caught in the clutches of a nefarious island, Edward Prendick crosses a terrifying Thing that soon wreaks upon him a flood of endless torment. With one treacherous turn after another, Prendick must make his way through this world or suffer the end of his own.
Chapter 9 was completely self-funded, with a wholly original score, and shot entirely on location at Northwest Florida state and local parks, all on an old Super 8 film camera.
