I got this movie thinking that it would be a bad film, but I thought it was going to be a fun bad movie. Some good gore, horrible story and some boobs. Unfortunately, the only thing it did have was a horrible story! The gore was a no show and there was more topless girls in this segment that came on before the movie and lasted maybe five minutes than there was in this film. The monster looked like a fat Xenomorph from Alien, which is to say it looked okay for a cheap movie, but give me more nasty kills and less speculation, please!
The story, a spaceship runs into trouble as it is about to reenter Earth's atmosphere. Seems the pilot gets infected with some kind of spore and transforms into a monster. Ship crash lands into a Florida swamp, thus the rest of the film takes place on the same area for the rest of the film. A place that is supposedly out in the middle of nowhere, a place where you have to hire a dumb guide though all the while I was thinking the interstate was probably just right out of camera range. Well the monster is on the loose as a group that is looking for the ship soon discovers. Well, they really do not discover it soon enough. The film is just to full of speculation scenes, I mean they seem to know this film is crap, but they do not ramp up the gore and other things that make a film like this thrive and instead treat us to swamp guide arguing with other people.
So that is pretty much all there is to it. There was a point in the film where I thought it was going to start taking off as they did have an interesting aspect to their story as the orange spores soon begin appearing all over the swamp, but just as it looks like it is going to start getting more fun to watch, we get more speculation and more arguing. The ending seems very rushed, but I am going to say that this is also a good aspect of the film as it meant it ended quicker! The fact that Joel Estevez is the only actor I recognize really should have clued me in to how bad the film would be, but I still thought it would be a fun bad...it was not for the most part.
