I've been around IMDB long enough to realize that some people just seem to love to leave crappy comments for movies. not every film can be the "worst" ever made. i mean, i'll leave "santa claus and the ice cream bunny" to fill that spot for me.

this film is slow and creepy. the acting is no better or worse than any other independent horror movie, but the story stuck with me after it was over. that's the sign of a good scary story, told well.

a small dying outback town has a visitor from far away, and the townspeople are being systematically taken over by a parasitic alien lifeform. we're just as in the dark as the unaffected residents who don't understand what's going on.

the scenery is gorgeous and it reminded me of another sci-fi story i read a long time ago, "stinger" by robert mccammon. another story of a desert community terrorized by aliens.

This is a small film, but it is still engaging. Reminded me of The Crazies but only set in a small Australian town and the source of the madness appears to be alien in origin. This has resemblance to a zombie film but more of 28 Days Later than Romero. Different, not a "great" film, but yet I found the main characters engaging. Not original and I predicted the ending fairly fast, but nonetheless I enjoyed watching this.

The film takes place in a small western Australia town near Beacon. Joanne Sharp (Jolene Anderson) is the law in the town, one that has a jail. Two objects fall from space and people become infected turning into zombies who attack other folks. There is a dust storm that isolates the town and a large alien creature.

PLOT SPOILER: It was easy to figure out the two objects. One was bad, the other was here to save us. However, there is more revealed at the very end which could turn into a more interesting sequel. The characters were bland and underdeveloped.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
