Plot

A group of pilots in the Canadian wilderness begin to hear strange reports over their radios about planes crashing, cars stalling, and a deadly plague which has gripped the planet. As the plot continues, it's clear that Earth is in the midst of an invasion. The pilots barricade themselves in a cabin in the woods and wait for impending doom.

Reception

Creature Feature gave the film one star, calling it lumbering, the special effects awful, and the ending incomprehensible,^[1] Fantastic Movie Musings found it almost completely devoid of entertainment value featuring an ending that shows a 20-minute walk.^[2]
