2006 ·1h 30m · ★ 4.5 (67)

On a hot summer afternoon in the sleepy town of Blackwater Louisiana, a meteor streaks across the sky and crashes through the roof of the local Natural History Museum. The meteor is actually a spaceship containing an alien life form which animates the museum's partially frozen Woolly Mammoth and begins a rampage. Local authorities and Government Investigators join forces with Frank Abernathy, the Museum Curator, and his father Simon, a B-Movie enthusiast, to bring down the giant mammoth in this alien-invasion flick!

Why it matters

A sweaty, swamp-soaked creature feature that mashes up alien invasion sci-fi with good old-fashioned monster chaos.

  • Practical effects bring the woolly mammoth’s rampage to life with surprising tactile grit, evoking ’80s creature comforts.
  • Small-town Louisiana setting drenches the film in Southern Gothic atmosphere rarely seen in alien-themed horror.
  • Perfect for fans of campy B-movie thrills and nostalgic genre mashups—think *Tremors* meets *The Blob*.
  • While the plot stumbles and pacing drags, the earnest performances and practical creature work keep it watchable for monster maniacs.
