The premise

When a meteorite touches down in the New Jersey woods carrying a monstrous alien slug, it’s up to four teens to stop it before it’s terrifying brood consumes all life on Earth!

Horror Vault's take

A meteorite crash-landing in New Jersey unleashes a ravenous alien organism with an insatiable appetite and a rapidly multiplying brood. As the creature works its way from the woods into the home, a small group of young people becomes the last line of defense against a threat that could devour far more than one quiet neighborhood. Shot on a shoestring budget, this early-80s creature feature leans hard into practical monster effects and relentless carnage. It's a love letter to classic sci-fi horror dressed in gloriously gooey low-budget clothing.
