Biography
Many years ago, a family of gypsies were living in a cave in the mountains. A great fire spread through the forests of those mountains. A group of forest rangers and firefighters rushed to the seen to put out the flame. Having noticed the gypsies, the groups tried to save them. The gypsies, however, accepted their fate and burned to death, all but one. Forest Ranger Lester Tile saw a young boy, horribly burned, flee the seen. He had not been heard from since.

Many years later, Lester Tile has become chief forest ranger. In his park, which was formerly the gypsies mountain, the area called Northpoint has had many disappearances. A elderly couple had gone missing up in the mountains. The Boy had returned, now a hulking deformed monster.

A group of six friends enter Northpoint. The Creature begins stalking and murdering them, one by one. Tile sends a Forest ranger named Mark O’Brien to investigate Northpoint.

Near the end of the film, when five of the friends are dead, final girl Nancy cowers in fear at the sight of the Creature. O’Brien comes to the rescue and shoots the creature with a tranquilizer dart. It refuses to be sedated, so O’Brien resolves to knock it out with a log. It works and O’Brien goes to comfort Nancy, until the Creature kills Mark. It then walks towards Nancy smiling. The movie ends in the winter where a baby is heard crying from inside the cave. It is implied the Creature raped Nancy.
