Can you dig it? CAN YOU DIG IT????
Truly original filmmaking.
So very John Carpenter.

THE NATION DEMANDS MORE FARMER JIM.
A noir film about a gunman hired to kill someone. I'm sure he'll be fine.

My first pure Christmas movie of the year. Maybe my first for several years. A strong choice for returning to the genre.
Enjoy the suspense. Sail away, but don't skip to the end.
