    Synopsis:\u00a0<\/strong>The story take place in a decayed school called “Herrington High”. The school faculty members (Robert Patrick, Bebe Neuwirth, Salma Hayek, and Jon Stewart) are infested with rapidly reproducing space worms that take over their minds and bodies. As mind-controlling parasites rapidly begin spreading from the faculty to the students’ bodies, it’s ultimately to the few that are left – an unlikely colllection of loners, leaders, nerds and jocks – to save the world from alien domination.<\/p>\n

    The film takes place in fictional Herrington, Ohio. However the film was shot interely in the State of Texas (Austin, Dallas and Lockhart).<\/p>\n
