After finishing off the campers, the hungry space monsters head for a nearby town, where they make their domain in the basement of an old house soon begin polishing off one hapless inhabitant after another.

Nice. What a pleasant surprise. This is actually pretty good. What seemed like a typical monsters from space movie turned out to be a very good low budget monsters from space movie. The acting is much better than you would expect and the makeup and creature effects are pretty good considering the budget constraints. There's some talent here. It's director McKeown's only film which it too bad. He really put together something fun for only $25k. Definitely check this one out. Fans of horror will be pleased.
