Action Horror Sci-Fi

6.2 / 10

British Army radiation drills at a remote Scottish base attract a subterranean, radioactive entity of unknown nature that vanishes, leaving two severely radiation-burned soldiers... and a "bottomless" crack in the earth. Others who meet the thing in the night suffer likewise, and with increasing severity; it seems to be able to "absorb" radiation from any source, growing bigger and bigger. What is it?? How do you destroy a thing that "feeds" on energy?

Saw this as a kid in the 60's. Scared me then, not so much now. Convenient for them to just happen to have those transmitting antennae on the trailers just lying about. - @Tuesday, April 22, 2014 10:25 AM
