A group of skeptical government officials headed by General Randolph are brought to a remote laboratory for a demonstration in "Psychic Materialization", a successful side effect of an experimental drug. But the project scientists had warned that not enough testing had been completed to access safety concerns. In a freak accident during the demonstration to the politicians, a vicious creature is created! Unable to contain the monster, it unleashes unbelievable havoc & destruction against mankind! Reproducing itself at an alarming rate, and all known weapons seemingly powerless against the creature, the scientists are gravely concerned for the survival of mankind!

Why it matters

A low-budget ‘80s creature feature that channels Cold War paranoia through a mutant menace born of experimental science gone wrong.

  • Practical effects lean into gooey, grotesque monster design emblematic of mid-’80s creature flicks, with a charmingly DIY edge.
  • A snapshot of government skepticism and biohazard fears just before the AIDS crisis fully gripped the public imagination.
  • For fans of practical creature chaos who appreciate the earnest ambition behind DTV horror’s often uneven craftsmanship.
  • Not a polished classic, but a cult curiosity that captures that era’s anxious vibe about science and mutation run amok.
