The story revolves around a small alien creature that escapes from a mysterious container at a secret military establishment. How did the container get there you ask? Well the government is experimenting with matter transferring from other dimensions.
The little critter runs around everywhere killing as many unsuspecting victims as it can. The reasons for the killings is never given, but it seems to be just killing for the sake of killing. Did I use that word "killing" enough? I hope so.
The monster is played by the directors son Chris Ray...yes the same Chris Ray responsible for "Two Headed Shark Attack" and other wonderful little gems. The film took about 2 years to complete due to financial trouble and the end of the film seems to indicate that the money just ran out and everyone just said "screw it".
What I mentioned in the last paragraph by no means is a criticism of the film. It's a wonderful little film and a great way to kill about 79 minutes, and I do get a hoot out of some of the bloopers at the end of the movie during the credits.
The cast includes Aldo Ray, Angelique Pettyjohn, William Fair and Carroll Borland and all do very well considering all the chaos going on behind the scenes. The extras includes interviews with director Ray, his son Chris and some of the other actors involved.
I love this film and respect Ray a hell of a lot as a film maker since he was able to complete this under almost impossible sircumstances. Been there done that.
The Blu-ray presentation has the film looking great, and I highly recommend this for any fan of 80's schlock.
