Director- Donald M. Dohler

Some country kids from Maryland get greased. The Sherriff is convinced it was a bear, and so some of the dead kids pals take off into the woods to hunt the bear. They get greased too, and now the Sherriff is sure that it’s a bear. At last, when another guy gets freeze-dried, the Sheriff decides that maybe he better check it out. Yet another person gets killed, and a random person who calls himself “an adventurer” (in rural Maryland eh, that must be quite an adventure) shows up to check out a meteor which landed near town recently. Oh yeah, that meteor. That one that has something to do with the plot? Oh yeah, I know that one. At the “meteor” landing site, they discover a spacecraft instead, and nearby, a dying alien creature that looks somewhat like a partially mummified Tammy Faye Baker. It communicates to the adventurer with a purple brain ray and then dies. The story goes a little something like this, Mummy Faye was transporting three other specimens of alien, which are all violent and vicious and have been the ones responsible for the recent decline in the local native population. Each one has its own brief battle scene in which it is dispatched with little fanfare. The first appears to be a relative of the Creature from the Black Lagoon, made out of old inner-tubes. The second is a giant half-goat half-ant that appears to have tendonitis or arthritis. The third, is invisible, except that we can see it thanks to the magic of stop-motion claymation and double exposed film.

The adventurer knocks ‘em all off, but himself turns out to be an alien, of the veiny peeled tomato looking species, sent to earth just for the purpose of hunting other aliens. Super stinky acting and dialogue are almost contradicted by the cool, albeit very low budget effects. Clearly there was a lot of heart put into this film, and it appears to have been intended as a demo of sorts for the FX talents involved.
