Kevin and his friends take his fathers boat out for the day. While they're having fun in the sun, a meteor falls into the ocean nearby. Shortly afterwards a storm picks up, the skies become black, rain pours down, the boat loses power, and the radio conks out.
Nearby is Hells Beacon, an island with a lighthouse run by Roy and Rene. Roy picks up their distress call and arrives at the beach about the time the teens wash up with the tide, but Kevin is missing. And the beset remedy for getting over Kevin? For Kevin's girlfriend it's apparently making out with another girl on the trip. Yeah....
The kids stay at the lighthouse and in the middle of the night they hear something strange. Turns out it's Kevin getting all monster-y and eating the family dog. Oh that can't be good.
The monsters look more like something from the black lagoon, but they're actually aliens. The only way you'd know that is because Roy says they are. So.... aliens ride on meteorites? I would expect a meteorite to turn something in the ocean into a monster, not bring an alien with it, but there you go.
The one saving grace for this movie is it's under 70 minutes. Other than that there's not much to recommend it... in other words, there's nothing to recommend it. Although I supposed you could watch for the character whose hair changes from flat to curly and back again. Also at one point the kids refer to Roy and Rene as an old couple. What are they, in their 40s or 50s? When I hear the phrase old couple I think of white haired grandparents.
