After a strange meteor destroys a communications satellite and crashes into Tampa Bay, a sickly looking fish finds itself the meal of a beautiful nightclub bartender named Val. Moments later, as the bar is closed and locked tight, the infected Val becomes ill and all Hell breaks loose. Hidden from the others, the parasite she has unknowingly eaten rapidly grows, bursting from her throat and becoming the puppet master for the chaos ahead. With no possible way to reach help or escape, the trapped club-goers must fight to survive and plan to destroy the creature before it is let loose into the world.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic siege narrative, relying on the stark contrast between the club's glamour and the escalating body horror. It explores the group's dynamics under pressure, using the confined space to amplify a sense of claustrophobic dread.

What lingers after the credits is the visceral, practical-effects-driven design of the central creature, a puppet master born from grotesque transformation. It's a straightforward, pulpy siege film with a memorable parasitic threat. — MovieFinder Editorial
