Mark Fisher disappeared from his home in a brilliant flash of blue light almost two years ago. His friend Seth Hampton was the last to see him alive. Now a string of grisly, violent murders leads Seth to believe that Mark is back, and something evil is inside of him.

The film has some shortcomings, and these can largely be attributed to the independent, low budget status of the film. The filming does not look quite as professional as it could, and the acting is good but not necessarily great. But these things should be expected and not judged too harshly.

Overall, the film is effective and gets across what it is trying to present. Others have called it a cross between "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "The Thing", which is true. But it is not a ripoff of either of these and a new vision in its own right.

1987. Seth Hampton (nicely played by Graham Skipper) sees his friend Mark Fisher (a solid performance by Josh Ethier) disappear in a flash of blue light. Two years later Mark returns as total raving psycho who embarks on a killing spree.

Writer/director Joe Begos keeps the enjoyable and engrossing story hurtling along at a breathless brisk pace, ably crafts a creepy and unsettling mood, maintains an unsparingly harsh tone throughout, generates a good deal of tension, perfectly captures the gritty aesthetic of low-budget 80's sci-fi/horror fare, and delivers a handy helping of graphic gore. This movie further benefits from the spirited acting from a game no-name cast, with especially lively work from Vanessa Leigh as feisty waitress Jen Craven and Ethier as the crazed Mark. The tight 80 minute running time ensures that this flick never gets dull or overstays its welcome. Done with a spot-on savage and relentless aplomb, this honey overall rates as a good'n'gruesome blast.

This movie was decent and like all movies that have a low budget they try to make up for that with blood. In this case it kinda worked. The story is basically about a guy named mark who gets abducted and comes back a couple years later as a alien.

It's one of the movies that include many type of thing like a combination of the body snatchers and splinter. I admit that the story line wasn't that bad and even though I expected more gore ( even though it's pretty gory) it was an okay movie. Some people would rate it lower them only reason why I didn't rate it lower was because I expected a stupid movie. It's one of those movies that tries every way to be as gory as possible to entertain the viewer. The affects were okay the blood was good the alien tongue that mark has looks really fake but it's okay. And of course many people die and the movie ends like most movie ends with something else that might happen. All and all its an okay movie to watch if you like those type of things that I listed above but it one of those movies that you could laugh while you watch with your friends.
