It's the future. There is acid rain all over the place. After a big "computer readout" (green letters scrolling onto a black background) explains this set up, we see a band of army deserters make its way through alleys and under bridges until they end up taking refuge in an old warehouse. Looks like some sort of research lab to them, what with the computers, animal cages and such, but there's nobody home, no even the lab rats. The geeky one of the bunch starts hacking on the computer while the rest check out the sleeping quarters, grab some grub and in one case, have a soapy shower encounter (clean water is a big deal after all). After discovering a severed head and large holes in the rat cages, the bunch begin to wonder what exactly happened to the previous residents. At dinner, the geekozoid starts freaking out, puking black liquid and finally dying. We get to see glimpses of a large, black Alien-esque monster lurking around the complex. Next, Ashlyn Gere and Linnea Quigley are attacked by a very fake-looking giant rat. Linnea stomps the rodent, but Ashlyn suffers quite a nasty bite to the neck. Later, she flips out and beats the crap out of Linnea until she's crushed and pukes up more black stuff. The crew are picked off until a lone army dude is left to fight the vasiline-covered rubber monster.
This is one low-budget feature, filmed mostly in a few rooms with some metal shelving and dim lighting. The slobbering creature isn't too convincing and is even less scary when the ridiculous final battle takes place. The two scream queens seem to do an admirable job with the material they're given, but this is pretty much a by-the-numbers Alien rip-off.
