Vacationing friends find their Spanish holiday disrupted by some nasty alien parasites who made their way to earth thanks to the SkyLab crash. It’s revealed that classified experimentation was being done on animals and with part of SkyLab making landfall in the area five years back, the creatures managed to survive and are now bringing a small Spanish town to messy ends. The trio of buds learn that the Apollo 14 mission gave NASA access to a bizarre alien organism, all this information shared by a NASA professor they come across who was looking into some disturbing occurrences in the area thanks to their nearby lab. Insane townsfolk with murderous intent and more than a few corpses have the three youngsters and the scientist racing for a cure. There is an antidote but with the townsfolk under alien control, it’s gonna be a tough go. Hopefully they manage to get the job done because the awful things gestate inside a host body, taking over the vessel until exploding on out and it is one disgusting way to shuffle off this mortal coil. Our three leads are likable enough, keeping a sense of humor throughout. Lynn-Holly Johnson is cute as all hell and equally delightful as the female of the trio and I have always been a fan of Dennis Christopher. There’s a weird vibe of goofiness imbedded in the damn thing and it’s oddly refreshing as the awfulness plays out. Granted, many reviews I have read were not a fan of the lack of seriousness but I think I’ve seen so many crap productions sternly playing out with an unbearable self-seriousness that this felt like a lovely reprieve. It’s a bit more chill than it should be and never establishes the tension it deserves but the characters are likable, the minimal effects work is gooey and the Spanish location is easy on the eyes.
