Storyline

Political pressure forces the military to allow reporters to tour the Area 51 base. When one of the facility's long-term alien residents uses the distraction to escape with other captives, the base turns into a horrifying destination.



Short Review

Another AfterDark / Syfy production. This is listed as horror, but is more sci-fi in nature. The military decides to allow two reporters into Area 51 to show transparency and concern for community by letting them see there are no aliens at the base. The trouble begins when the captive aliens (which look more like demons) break free. I like Boxleitner, though he is always in low budget, cornball sci-fi. This is more of the same. It isn't great, but I enjoyed it.
