Storyline

A rocket containing bio-hazardous material to be disposed of by launching into space crashes in a remote wooded area. An army team is sent to recover it. One of the men is infected and mutates into a monster, killing most of the rest of the team. One man escapes with the help of a brother & sister who live in the woods. He then tries to stop his former buddy, while also fighting against another army team sent in to destroy everything. The bio-material was supposed to create a super-soldier, was banned, and the crash of the rocket appears to have been deliberate so the experiment could proceed. But who is behind it all? And will others be infected?

Trivia

User Reviews

Typical rental store trash

What bothers me about this low budget trash is that when I go to the local video store it is filled with these great appearing (from the cover) videos. Most of these are movies that no one has ever heard of. Most of them will have a cameo role of some reasonably big star and have him or her the star of the movie. They all look like a "TV movie" with a few swear words thrown in the get an R rating to make you think that this is a "real" movie. Usually about 10 minutes into the movie I realize that I got taken again. My advise is that if you never heard of it, don't rent it or first check here to get some reviews.
