It kills… but cannot be killed!
When a radioactive creature rises from beneath the Earth’s surface near a Scottish village, it leaves a trail of death and destruction as it feeds on energy. A group of scientists and military personnel race to understand and stop the growing threat before it reaches a nuclear facility. This tense British sci-fi thriller mixes atomic age fears with creeping horror in a battle against an unseen enemy from below.
