After a meteor shower in the countryside, a destructive alien bio-mechanic form arrives together with the meteors feeding of electricity. The engineer Linda Fletcher (Lisa Hartman) has returned from New York with her son Billy Fletcher (Michael Greene) to the farm of her father, the local doctor Avery (Pat Hingle), to be responsible for the construction of a power plant with Japanese investment. Her friend Walt Tressie (Luke Edwards) has indicated her to the Japanese representative Mr. Shikido (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) and she is pressed by the mayor Bruce MacNamara (Xander Berkeley) to accomplish the tight schedule to the commission of the power plant. Meanwhile Linda is seeing her former sweetheart and baseball player, Sheriff Tom Conway (A Martinez). After a couple of deaths, they learn that the creature must be destroyed to protect other towns. Will they succeed in their intent?
"Not of This World" is one of those B-movies made for television that recalls a sci-fi from the 50´s in colors. There is a poor character development, lame special effects but entertains. Maybe the most irritating is the conclusion, with Linda, Tom, Shikido, Doc and Billy happy together, forgetting that Gerry gave his life trying to stop the alien creature and not reporting the event to the National Security Agency. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Semente do Terror" ("Seed of the Terror")
