Summary
A meteorite that crashes into the forests of New Jersey turns a quiet night at camp into a terrifying nightmare. Directed by Douglas McKeown, this horror-science fiction thriller follows alien parasites that emerge in the heart of nature and begin to overrun homes and the town. These creatures, multiplying underground and in basements, turn the teenagers’ struggle for survival into a relentless chase. The dark atmosphere that envelops the screen leaves classic creature invasion clichés behind, trapping the viewer in a claustrophobic tension.
