Imagine if Alien was made for $47 and a pack of gum.
In the future, a private detective tries to stop a large corporation from mining an element whose side effects include igniting human flesh and destroying internal body parts.
Practical Effects
Gloriously cheap flesh-igniting effects that aged like milk.
Production
Future that looks like a mall parking garage at 3am.
Director
William J. Murray
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director William J. Murray never made another feature film, possibly because he achieved everything he needed to say about humanity in 89 minutes of flaming miners.
This is peak '80s straight-to-video sci-fi horror: combine Alien's corporate conspiracy, The Thing's body horror, and zero dollars, then pray Blockbuster customers don't read the back too carefully.
