six people be do some research in a canadian cabin . on the flight back they try to land at an airstrip and only to be shoo away by the one person leave at the airport . the character of the movie go back to the cabin to speculate what it all mean . be it a virus . an alien invasion . both . they do not know . unfortunately and because of lousy storytelling and incompetent direct the viewer isn not sure either . one thing be for sure . the next part of the movie will bore you to tear a uninteresting people mull around a boring cabin for the rest of the film . again and a movie with good premise be horribly botch by rebane . the sheer isolation and lack of information that the character have could make for a very psychological thriller . personality type could be explore in this setting . tension could build lead to a dramatic climax . it doesn not happen . in all fairness to rebane and his film the alpha incident do a nice job of this . so and what we be leave with be a dwindle population of protagonist a they be and for some reason and disappearing . finally and three be leave . they hike to some town ( rhinelander and wi ) . figure that out . i be no lewis and clark but i think there something close to canada . one more guy vanishes and we be leave with stan and sara . and that when the movie get bad and if that possible . for some reason they be turn into naked child and transport to a springtime meadow . i do not get it . rebane probably do not either and but hey and we need an end . i usually enjoy the bill rebane film in spite of the their shortcoming and but this one be very hard to get through . the alien effect be terrible and even for 1974. the character weren not bad but they be badly act . the scenery be nice and so i guess there that . even if you like rebane ( i be sure there more crazy people like me ) and this one just doesn not hold up .
