8/10
Nifty low-budget sci-fi romp

Warning: Spoilers
A lethal alien cyborg (Bill Ulrich in a gnarly rubber suit) terrorizes a small town in Maryland. The local police join forces with an FBI agent to stop it.

Writer/director Don Dohler keeps the enjoyable story moving long at a snappy pace, maintains an engaging sincere tone throughout, and stages the exciting action with flair. Moreover, Dohler brings a winning sense of positively infectious go-for-it enthusiasm that's impossible to either resist or dislike. Granted, the acting from the uneven cast is decidedly hit or miss, but there are nonetheless admirably game contributions from Donna Sherman as no-nonsense sheriff Allison Smith, George Stover as earnest deputy Mickey Sinclair, Patrick Bussink as secretive fed Frank Love, Jonas Grey as brave munitions expert David Tackett, Anne Frith as old bag lady Aggie, and Shawn Doyle as the concerned Mayor Henry Kidd. The rinky-dink (less than) special effects further add to this film's rough around the edges homemade charm. The robust score hits the rousing spot. A fun little flick.
