[edit] Plot Overview
[edit] The Movie
A mountain resort is invaded by hideous aliens from another planet. The aliens resemble gigantic eyeballs and go around decapitating any humans they come into contact with. A radioactive cloud begins to surround the mountain that they land on, keeping anyone from entering. The aliens seem to be drawn to a girl with telepathic abilities, an ability the aliens possess as well. The survivors run to the mountain observatory and fortify it, then fight off the crawling eyes with Molotov cocktails.
