In 1979, Skylab breaks apart during its reentry to Earth but because of its size (77 tons), it did not burn up completely and it scatters debris over the Indian Ocean and sparsely populated areas of Western Australia. But it brings back a deadly parasitic fungus. Based on the novel by David Koepp (who adapted his book for the screen) and directed by Jonny Campbell (ALIEN AUTOPSY). A splendid homage to 1950s B movie science fiction that balances laughs with genuine thrills. It doesn't take itself seriously and neither should you. With the exception of the first victim (Sosie Bacon, daughter of Kevin), the people who die are morons so you can enjoy their gory deaths. Is there anything better than scares and laughs in the same movie? Some of the cast are overqualified for stuff like this including Vanessa Redgrave (looking frail but wonderful to see her back on the screen), Liam Neeson and Lesley Manville but they seem to be having a great time. With Georgina Campbell, Joe Keery, Ellora Torchia and Gavin Spokes.
