Suburban life, set against the scorching sun of the California deserts, is interwoven with marital lies and endless betrayals. In this sci-fi nightmare, where Nathan Juran blends B-movie aesthetics with psycho-electronic suspense, he focuses on the state of mind of an unhappy woman trapped in the middle of a small town. On the night of a UFO sighting and contact with an alien force, everything turns upside down. Transforming into a colossal silhouette to take revenge on a world that no longer fits her, the woman sets out after her unfaithful husband. Amid dusty roads and gigantic shadows, a bizarre reckoning that straddles the line between horror and melodrama awaits the audience.
