Near a small american town in the middle of nowhere a spacecraft crash lands,and out of the wreckage emerges a creature hellbent on destroying everyone it meets with it's ray gun.During a gunfight with some of the locals the creatures ray gun gets destroyed so it decides to spend the rest of the movie ripping its victims apart instead.Eventually a handful of survivors devise a way to kill it in the fun finale.There obviously wasn't much money in the budget kitty and the actings not upto much,but there are some cheap but ok sci/fi type laser effects,there is also a fair amount of decent gore,the creature itself looks pretty good and just check out that great video sleeve.I will happily admit to having a soft spot for this little film,the sleeve itself stirs up a lot of fond,nostalgic memories from those great old days of video.This uk tape is actually getting quite hard to find now so you will have to search around if you want to see it.
