A group of friends find a glowing rock that falls out of the sky and take it home and it starts to grow. But is it a friend or a foe? The film explains it all in a dull and uninvolving manner by way of a confusing script and beige acting. The only actor who stands out is grizzled Tom Atkins as Professor Westleak. He seems like a real person. Not that gripping and the end where the child is reborn is just laughable.
