An alien civilisation comes up with a plan to transform rubbish into electronic transmissions. On Earth, a family's satellite dish picks up one of these signals, which results in a monster running wild in their home, eating everything - and anyone - in its way. Sci-fi comedy horror, starring Diane Franklin and Gerrit Graham.

After Stanley Putterman installs a state-of-the-art satellite dish in his backyard, a strange monster leaps off the screen and needs to feed on humans for survival. The Putterman children Sherman and Suzy—along with Suzy's metalhead boyfriend O.D.—are left to figure out what to do.
