Not much is happening on a typical Saturday night in Little Rock, apart from college campus panty raids and cuties in scanties heating up the hormones of local frat cats on the prowl. Suddenly a flaming meteor crashes into a nearby swamp and unleashes a lifeform so terrifying it defies description or destruction!" The movie was filmed in Little Rock.
