Transcript

Underneath the streets, 36 feet long. Over 2,000 pounds, it's killed five people already. And it's about to break out.

Share yourself for paralyzing shocks. Pusum horror. Terrifying suspense. Unsapast terror runs amuck as a mindless, mis-sporn abomination from outer space is unleashed upon an unsuspecting world. Humanity seems powerless to stop it. Alien terror.

If you see this movie alone in your lounge room, you may never be the same again. How's Motor Stricken by an meteor in the swamps of Florida? It signals the arrival of the alien dead.

I'm an attending physician at the Peter Bede-Bregum Hospital. And I don't want to listen to any more of your football jumbo! I'm a hero in so many years! Because I believe it, I want this thing stopped!
