Microbes are brought back to earth via a space probe from Venus. A scientist named Doctor Zeitman (John Carradine) does experiments on people with the microbes to make people ageless but yet it turns them into monsters whenever they get into a rage and when he dies his evil assistant named Evelyn Avery (Dawn Wildsmith) takes over as she approaches an ageing horror film actress named Lynn Roman (Bobbi Bresee) who is hurting for a good wage and successful gigs offering her the serum to stay young and beautiful.
When she injects the serum it makes her sick and then whenever she faces her detractors shre then turns into a hideous bug-like alien resulting in a predictable attrition problem.
Someone named Ross Anderson (Drew Godderis) studied this serum and tries to warn her about her dangerous attitude but yet she is totally controlled by this drug and doesn't listen to his warnings so she goes on a killing spree towards movie porducers and casting directors when she is turned away by them.

OK so during the beginning of the film it shows a spaceship aiming to go to Earth and then the screen goes blank with the opening credits. Then when the story starts it doesn't explain this alien spacecraft since we don't see this object anymore.
A secuirty guard is trying to focus on something with his computer and then a mysterious woman whom is of course Evelyn Avery appears in which she unlocks on what looks like a parasite and trapping this guard with this creepy object. This was supposed to look suspenseful to watch but it was wooden and extremely corny. However with the shots of this thing seemed to pay tributes to those old fashioned drive in monster movies.
A couple stop their vehicle in an alleyway in which this looked way too planned out and unnatural. All of this looked terribly phony. However a nice dark shot on this security guard strolling near them and tripping out in an alleyway and attacking. Plus some horror violence occurs which seemed similar to a Troma Team type of horror flick.
Evelyn has a discussion with and eccentric old man Dr. Zeitman at a table which looks incredibly rough. Plus it looked tiring to watch. The makers needed to whip this in shape big time.
The next day an actress Lynn Roman is uptight on her gigs as well as being a diva about all of this in which this came across as too over the top and annoying to watch.
There's a good shot on her lying on her chair suntanning as well as a good shot on Evelyn herself staring at her standing up. I must admit that this moment looked fairly well done. It leaves a nice horror touch with Evelyn tempting her to use a drug she's offering to her. Things really start to grow intense in which Lynn threatens to call the police when she turns her back on this evil one. When she turns around this made the moments mysterious which I won't give away. This was one of the film's only drawing card.
There's a good dream sequence with Lynn on a stage at an awards ceremony and then showing her face monstrous holding the award.
After she starts her day there's many pointless moments to fill in the time with her getting stressed as usual along with her taking a shower in which you may have guessed was a long one and you're right about that. Pretty pathetic.
Lynn's caretaker Elaine Talbott takes a long swim by skinny dipping in the pool with focused shots on all off this. Yes folks another time waster.
A good close up shot on Lynn looking paranoid and then exposing her sharp teeth.
After Elaine had her long swim she is drying herself off with a creature standing behind her. It's not scary as you can tell that it's a rubber costume. Still it can look pleasing for a trashy horror flick such as this one. Nothing to brag about either.
A cheesy but powerful intense moment with Ross Anderson trying to confront Lynn on what she's doing to herself along with a good close up shot on her with her red eyes and her screaming.
Lynn talks to her movie producer in which things get nasty when she isn't happy with him and then once more turns into a beast which looked effective in a b-film fashion but when she throws this person around around it looked awfully corny.
Brent Price whom is Lynn's boyfriend comes home with his mistress in which she does a striptease killing more wasteless time. Yet, when Lynn spies on the situation it looked effective when she was upset to take more of that drug to turn into a creature again. When this happens there's a good shot on Brent being killed by a creature coming through a bedroom window.
Bottom line is that I knew I was expecting a trashy monster flick and that's what I got but it was trashier than I expected. It is definetely a tribute to those cheesy monster movie drive-in's but with barely any class at all. There are the odd good cheesy terrifying moments and some intensity saves the film from bombing but otherwise making this film was a waste of time. Oh, if you watch a scene in a casting directors office he has a poster of Kenneth J. Hall's first writing project The Tomb which was directed by his partner Fred Olen Ray as that one was trashy but alot better than this one. But don't let the poster fool you that it went to theatre's as it was a direct-to-video horror flick like this one folks.

The acting is pretty bad but some of the actors try hard like Bobbi Bresee (Lynn Roman) as a has been horror film actress who tries to show her aggressions but isn't convincing alot of the times but knew how to cry emotionally well. Yet is not convincing when she complains about her wage towards a casting director. She overly does it by getting sick after injecting a needle in her arm. Seems to do well acting desperate towards someone else for a part in his car and losing control of herself. Does well acting in a rage towards someone else in a certain situation. Seems to pull off averagely by screaming at someone in an office before turning into a monster.
Drew Godderis (Ross Anderson) seemed to do fine with his serious attitude in the film and can pull it off not too shabby. He seemed strong within his presence as well as getting serious within his discussions but at the same time he is a bit over the top. Had the perfect brawny looks and appeal which works in well to his persona.
John Terrence (Brent Price) plays the hunky boyfriend to the diva in which he seemed a little too mediocre in his role. His looks weren't exactly there for the kind of person he was supposed to have been. I don't find that he was the best choice for the kind of part that he was supposed to have been in this one.
B-movie cult icon Dawn Wildsmith (Evelyn Avery) looked great for the part as an evil one in the film by giving people needle's and turning them into creatures. She speaks smoothly and has the evil expressions too. In a scene towards another actress she seems to pull it off ok speaking to her on how to succeed in her business. She was credited as Donna Shock for some strange reason.
Jerry Fox (Harry Fox) coudln't act his way out of a wet paper bag by playing a casting director as he shows very little characteristics to his part. I can't see him going places whatsoever. Just too wooden.
Pamela Gilbert (Elaine Talbot) as the caretaker was another wooden actress that wasn't cut to be in the industry. She was also supposed to be a sex object but looked a little too wholesome. She just says her lines and no characteristics. She can't even freak out when the terror strikes her. No golden stars.
John Carradine (Dr. Zeitman) was badly out of shape in his cameo with his speech as you can tell he was very close to his death bed. He wasn't memorable at all by what he did and seemed to force his performance which is a shame as I often enjoyed his performances within everything that I saw him in.

Bobbi Bresee exposes her breasts while taking a bath. She also takes off her top near a bathroom mirror as well as taking a shower too.

An arm is ripped off
A face is mangled
Lots of bloodsheds
A claw is stabbed through a man's chest
A chest explodes

We have some nice cheesy quivering synthesizer playing by Paul Natzke during the opening and closing credits of the film and everywhere else the music sounds quite out of tone. Yet some interesting low sounds as well as old fashioned cheesy ghostly music as it blends into the scene when necessary.
