The people of a small town reap what they sowed when they shun one of their own, leading the diseased, disfigured and disgruntled outcast to slaughter a local family and draw the authorities into a deadly cat-and-mouse game. Not having considering his talents with an ax, the townspeople are now eliminated one by one in a bloody wave of revenge. A classic in the B-horror and exploitation genre, The Shunned is clearly for connoisseurs.
