Film
Long
On a remote farmstead, a woman sleeps alone. It is a time not too long ago when the film begins, and the obsessed and wealthy Dr. Epstein sets up a series of scientific experiments. He subjects his adopted sons, Pete and Re-Pete, along with his beloved flapper, Baby Dee, to various scientific tasks. Things take a strange turn when Epstein makes a deal. In doing so, he opens a door to the unknown, rips the fabric of time, and unleashes a shadowy character bent on reducing everyone he encounters to dust.
