after the opening credit over a black sheet of paper with spot of white paint spray onto it and oh ok i will be generous and call it a star field and we witness an alien spacecraft crash into a meteorite and be force to land on earth . a terrible look model spacecraft land on a terrible look model field . three nearby camper investigate . from the burning spacecraft a reptile like look alien and the nightbeast emerges and ok so i lie it a guy in a dodgy rubber monster mask and silver spacesuit . the camper be quickly kill by the nighbeast laser gun which shoot awful special effect at people . the town sheriff jack cinder ( tom griffith ) be inform . he alert his deputy lisa kent ( karin kardian ) and gather a posse of men together to investigate . meanwhile the nightbeast have kill an unlucky motorist who stop on the side of the road for a leak . his two annoy kid run for help . they approach a house and inside two young people be kiss and the girl say someone run towards the house . the guy get up to take a look and be attack and gutted by the nightbeast and it kill the girl as well . then it manage to kill the two kid with his laser and maybe the nightbeast ain not so bad after all . once the sheriff and his men arrive at the scene they have a gun or laser battle with the nightbeast . after possibly the most unexciting gun fight in film history only the sheriff and his deputy and a local man jamie lambert ( jamie zemarel ) survive . but the nightbeast be still alive and bullet seem to have no effect on it . the next day the sheriff visit the town mayor and bert wicker ( richard dyszel ) and his girlfriend mary jane ( eleanor herman ) to get permission to evacuate everyone in the town . he refuse say a party he be hold for the governor ( richard ruxton ) can not be cancel and and that he doesn not want to create a panic situation . the sheriff evacuate the town anyway . two doctor and steven price ( george stover ) and ruth sherman ( anne firth ) be attack by the nightbeast before they can leave . however and they manage to scare the nightbeast away and survive . together with the sheriff his deputy and jamie they decide to stay behind and fight the alien . write and direct by don dohler this have to be an amateur film and make with family and friend and look at the credit and see how many dohler be involve . for that reason i should probably cut it some slack but that still doesn not stop it and or excuse it from be a throughly awful film in every department . it have no story or purpose and thing just happen to waste time and whats with drago ( don leifert ) strangle his ex girlfriend suzie ( monica neff ) . this and many more scene add nothing to the film . the script have no logic either and why do the nightbeast stick around the town once it be supposedly evacuate . the special effect be embarrassingly bad and just look at the effect when the nightbeast shoot someone with his laser and a computer effect an 80 spectrum would be ashamed of . there not really much blood or gore in it and a ripped open stomach and a severed arm and a decapitation but they all look predictably poor . credit where it due and the nightbeast itself look alright for the most part . there a sex scene between the sheriff and his deputy which have to be see to be believe and music that even a porno would be embarrass about and two really ugly naked people make this a difficult sequence to watch . less than stellar acting and photography and music and lighting and edit make it a real chore to sit through . and the bad thing about this film . it commit the mortal sin of be boring and not fun in the slightest . sorry don mate and but do not give up the day job . definitely one to avoid .
