Plot

The haunted pine forests of New Jersey is a wilderness area larger than the Grand Canyon. This wilderness abounds in dense forest and is the perfect refuge for a legendary creature, which has been feared by the locals since the 18th Century. Locals tell stories of a Native American shaman who mastered the forbidden black art of shapeshifting, a phenomenon recently verified by modern anthropologists. Legend has it that the shaman transformed his thirteenth child into a creature half man, half beast, in order to ward off the British Army during the American Revolution.
