Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaProduction caused producer Carlos Aured to completely retire from filmmaking. In a 1999 interview with Fangoria, Aured mentioned that he tried several times to get the filmmakers to take a more professional approach to the film, but the Spanish crew was too laid back. As a result, the film went over schedule and over budget, from which they shifted all the debts onto Aured, once filming was complete.
- GoofsWhen Mr. Bodi's corpse falls down, he is shown to have been decapitated, but in the next shot of his corpse lying down, his head is completely attached.
- Alternate versionsAlthough uncut by the BBFC the UK video version featured a heavily edited print which removed all the shots of Michael discovering dead mutilated bodies and shortened the shot of the alien erupting through a man's face. Additionally, this version is also presented as "Mutant II."

Performed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Featured review
Two guys and a girl are on vacation in Spain. On their way to Madrid, they run across the small town of Duarte, where a Skylab fell four years prior. Unfortunately, microbes from the station didn't burn up upon re-entry as originally assumed. The townspeople are being infected by the alien microbes, turning into deranged, beer throwing hosts for alien predators.
Fun film is a bit slower going than you'd expect, spending time on the characters' love triangle. Highlights? We briefly meet a family including a guy who sounds like a Three Stooges reject. There's a groovy scene with a masked wacko and a big truck that tends to teleport. There's also a smartass bearded guy who's awesome and isn't in the film nearly as long as he should be. You don't see much of the creatures themselves, but when they appear, the effects are good. Think the chestburster from Alien with spider legs.
