Plot

An evil Archbishop and his followers summon a demon to destroy the world, but the demon's first act is to kill its summoners. It does so in an appropriately unique manner, by turning the bodies of its victims into what appears to be solid shadow, which disintegrates at the first touch of light, any light. Light is in fact the demon's anathema. Unable to stand the slightest glimmer at its creation, the creature gains strength and solidity with each kill, allowing it a greater resistance to the light; and with it the ability to affect and control those around it, including a pack of vicious dogs. As the town is orchestrated towards its own destruction, it proceeds to hunt down a particular child. A pivotal sacrifice, necessary to complete its transition into the light, and unleash its Evil.

Reception

TV Guide noted in its positive review that "While the basic premise and a few details of Shadow Builder are familiar, the movie has been put together with commendable skill."[1]

gollark: Discord was *meant* for gamers originally.
gollark: Hmm, so apparently in May 2019 Discord had >=250 million users.
gollark: Valve might make sense, actually. They have a successful gamery product with a kind of terrible chat thing.
gollark: I don't think so, necessarily.
gollark: Okay, Nitro not covering costs may actually be a bit of an unfounded assumption, I can't easily find information on it.
