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

Horrible movie.

Don't waste your time. I just caught a viewing of this. Waste of my time.

I like sci-fi, I even like bad sci-fi movies. I will watch anything with Lance Henriksen in it. This movie had bad special effects, no plot. The movie plays out exactly as you might think it will. There are 0 surprises anywhere. Many parts make no sense.

The chicks are cute. Beyond that it is a waste of time. Someone posted in the forums a few weeks ago what they thought the entire plot of the movie would be. I really wish they would stop making such horrible direct to video sequels of movies I like. People would go to the theaters for a good screamers 2 movie.
