Synopsis

Jack Scalia and Jamie Luner star in this hair-raising thriller that pits humans against the combined power of machines and nature as the plant employees put their lives on the line in a frantic bid to prevent a massive disaster.

Director

Fred Olen Ray

Director/screenwriter/makeup artist Fred Olen Ray hocked virtually everything he owned to make The Alien Dead (1978). Never mind that, as a graduate of the Brown University School of Engineering, Ray could have named his own salary in practically any job in his field: Celluloid was in his blood, and there it would remain from 1978 to the present.

If nothing else, few other bottom-barrel filmmakers outside of Fred Olen Ray can boast an acting talent pool that has included the likes of Lawrence Tierney, Buster Crabbe, John Philip Law, Jan Michael Vincent, P.J.
