Storyline

A group of humans arrive on Sirius 6-B to investigate an SOS signal sent out from the planet, which has been supposedly deserted since the destruction of the man-made weapons known as "screamers." Once the squad arrives, they find a group of human survivors eking out an existence in an old military outpost, but more important, they discover that the threat of the screamers has become even more insidious, now that they're able to morph into human form.

User Reviews

I Liked It and I Think You'll Like It

I have to say, I absolutely love Sci-Fi of all types. This movie to me was in the same caliber as Supernova, Aliens 3, and Impostor. I expected low-budget everything but what I got was a perfect presentation. Everything looked high budget from the ship sets to the mine sets, nothing betrayed the fact that this is not a 50 million dollar movie. I couldn't believe it. I can't imagine how someone who loves sci-fi couldn't love this movie. I didn't find anything to be out of order. I liked the kick-ass female lead, the sleazy commander and the rest of the cast was great too. The costumes, weapons, the screamers and the plot were really top-notch and the few gory scenes were done phenomenally. Like another person said, if this is the worst movie you've seen all year, you're having a great year. If you've played the video game Dead Space this movie has the same feel as that game. Hope you like it.
