At a future (2020) underwater mining platform, an alien parasite, dubbed the "vampire bug," ^[2] plagues the crew of the platform.^[3]

Creature Feature gave the movie 3 out of 5 stars. It found the movie to be a mixture of Trancers, Alien (film), The Abyss and The Thing (1982 film). It praised the script by Alex Simon for keeping the movie interesting. It was not as enamored with Scott Levy's direction.^[5]
