On a volcanic planet, the lone survivor of a space mission is infected by giant mutant space rats. Returning to earth, she begins to wreak havoc and spread her rodent strain. Only the mysterious Dr. Steele and man of action Jake Walsh can team up to stop her, but is it too late?
Prodigious auteur of numerous low-budget genre classics, Jeff Leroy (Creepies, Giantess Attack) forms a unique hellscape blending practical effects, puppetry, and budget-conscious CGI along with some truly epic performances (Randal Malone channeling his best Dr. Moreau era Brando) and creates a film that reads like a Vaporwave Prometheus with a healthy dose of giant rodents thrown in for good measure. Fresh off a successful one night engagement at Nitehawk, Spectacle is proud to host this limited run of a new cult classic!
