Sportswriter Paul Taylor, after a near-death experience on the operating table, can hear the voices of the recently dead. These voices direct him to people who need help from supernatural dangers. In this story, his mission takes him to a remote Canadian island haunted by a creature made from mud and clay. The only thing which can harm this mud golem is salt.
IMDB Page
One of two made for TV horror stories the others called The World of Darkness, about sportswriter Paul Taylor who after a near death experience due to a motorcycle accident gains the ability to hear voices of the dead. In this one he gets told to go help the residents of Logan's island whom are under the threat of a golem or as called in this film a mud monster. Heaps of fun like all great creature features you don't see the monster till the end and contains a great pre Evil Dead crawling hand scene. Shame they only made the two movies Granville Van Dusen who played Paul Taylor would of been a great rival to Kolchak.
(7 out of 10)
