| Those poor people in 1974.... |
Based on a Theodore Sturgeon novel? WTF....OK, so a falling rock from outer space lands on some Earth island and is covered up over time.
 |
| Pretty much says it all. |
The worlds best villains, oil drilling companies, are clearing the land for an air strip so they can be more evil by building more oil rigs. The crew tries to extract the rock, but it starts glowing and attaches its non-specific magic blue glowy stuff to the dozer they were using and that's when things go down hill. Actually, it went down-hill when you realized that you're watching a 1974 made-for-TV "horror" movie about a sentient piece of construction equipment that appears to hate people.
There's not really much to this one. Simple and dumb. Dreadfully boring and not scary. There was never any sense of urgency. This movie tries to be serious, but you just can't sell this to people. Killer Clowns from Outer Space was more believable than this. Obvious to everyone on the set, this was a quick paycheck. But it's another classic I can cross off the list.....but I'll never get the time back
Only one cast note that I found interesting:
A very young Robert Urich!
Friday: Blood sucking...eh....bartenders?
