Crawler (2004)

CRAWLER is a Timewarp Films production that got into principle photography back in 2003. It's a sci-fi/horror hybrid story about an alien that lands in the woods of Northern Maryland. Birthed from the meteorite from which it traveled in, the creature starts to roam the countryside, looking for its first meal. The "Crawler" as it is called is carnivorous - and is very, VERY hungry. Three UFO enthusiasts (portrayed by Darla Albornoz, Justin Timpane, and Daniel Ross) in the area happened to track the meteor as it landed, and decide to investigate the location the next day. They run afoul of a couple of government SPOOKS (James Keegan and Nikki O'Dell) that are heading a military unit operation (the unit is portrayed by Maynard Edwards, John Patrick Barry and Ayo Sorrells); that of locating the Crawler - and putting it on ice. Given a "snow job" from the SPOOKS that the woods are off limits, the UFO members are ordered to go back home. However, the Crawler has not been idle. Through the night it has been feasting on several town folk and has been getting larger with each victim it devours. When it attacks and kills a family member of the team, the cat is out of the bag and the SPOOKS are forced to quarantine the entire town. What follows are lies, double-crosses, government cover ups and death as both sides try to put an end - to the CRAWLER.
