Plot

A group on their way to Las Vegas for a wedding stop to pick up a man whose car has broken down. The man, Bailey (Norbert Weisser), claims to an alien who destroys polluted worlds. He shoots the others in the car and kidnaps Eve (Samantha Phillips) deciding to postpone his plans to destroy Earth until they are able to have sexual relations.[4], Eve thinks Bailey may be an escaped mental patient, and this seems likely when Bailey's therapist (Scott Paulin) shows up, but he seemingly is also not who he claims to be. [5]

Production

The entire film was shot in three days.[6] Written and directed by Albert Pyun, the film has no special effects other than a single cube and was mostly filmed on one set. [7]

Reception

Creature Feature gave the movie two out of five stars. Moria found the film "awful" [8] Rivets on a poster was much kinder to the film, finding it a "beautiful and intelligent midnight movie, which is good enough – and funny enough – to make you forget its flaws."

gollark: This isn't very surprising.
gollark: I mean, it does say so in Christianity.
gollark: For life.
gollark: And I wouldn't trust anyone but me to be supreme eternal world dictator™.
gollark: Currently.
