Invisible aliens turn Texas farmers into bloodthirsty zombies—and nukes are on the table.
BLOODSUCKERS FROM OUTER SPACE
Nobody Can Escape ...
Texas farmers turn into zombies when they become infected by an energy field from outer space. The residents must escape before an overeager general can convince the President to drop a nuclear bomb on the rural town.
When Texas needs saving, sometimes the only answer is a nuclear option—or a really big laugh.
When an invisible alien energy field lands in rural Texas, it doesn’t just kill the crops—it turns farmers into pasty-faced, blood-hungry fiends. With a bomb-happy general on one side and a doomsday energy field on the other, this lo-fi genre mashup finds plenty of dark comedy in the middle of nowhere.
