To start off, Young Tony's father is abducted by aliens, and isn't heard from in over a year. Wife Rachel has moved on believing that her husband Sam has simply deserted his family for some unknown reason. A year later, a UFO deposits a hideous alien creature in the forest, it crawls to a cottage and impregnates a woman it finds there. Moments later, the woman awakens with goo all over her mouth (the site of the implantation) and a puddle of melted alien slime next to her. Her belly then begins to grow... and grow and grow! Suddenly she gives birth... to a full-grown man. And boy does he leave her a mess, as you can well imagine. The newly birthed man turns out to be Sam, Tony's missing father.
Sam returns to his family, claiming to have no knowledge of where he has been. By now, his wife has a new (and really annoying) boyfriend who is convinced that Sam is up to no good. Sam starts doing weird things like eating snake eggs and causing copious amounts of blood to appear out of nowhere, as well as some psychic powers. He tells his son Tony that he's been somewhere else and has been changed. He wants Tony to change too. After sucking on Tony's shoulder for a while, Tony starts having unique powers too. He can move things with his mind, he now has a creepy clown friend that has a yo-yo with razor blades on it and creates a human-size toy soldier to kill the bitch neighbor next door.
Tony also has a live-in babysitter who eventually becomes cocooned on the ceiling and deposits eggs of some sort that are put into a refrigerator full of green slime, apparently for some sort of gestation purposes. To make a long story short, Sam has ultimately come back for his son. A flash of light and they're gone. Mom goes home, finds the refrigerated eggs, picks one up, and "sploosh". An appendage of some sort flies into her mouth from the egg, just like the poor woman in the cottage. I guess this is revealed to show that the process may start all over again.
Creepy from beginning to end, this movie made the video nasties list, one of only two films from the U.K. to do so. It was banned for a short time, maybe a year or two, but was then released to the general public after some heavy editing. A few years later when compared to other video nasties, it didn't seem quite so bad I guess, and was re-released intact and uncut.
This movie is a must-see if you really wanna be freaked out. I haven't spoken to many people that have seen this film, but the few that have seen it say that it scared the hell out of them too.
