Synopsis:

A couple go out into the swamp to search for gators. The wife is pulled under by a mysterious force. The husband, Mr. Griffith, goes to town and tells everyone that his wife is missing. The townsfolk automatically assume, coupled with the other mysterious deaths, that a gator is the one killing everybody. Makes sense.
Anyway, a reporter, Tom Corman, starts investigating the goings-on. He finds a girl, Shawn, who has absolutely nothing to do with anything. He finds no answers, and eventually hears from Doctor Ellerbee's patient that a meteorite smashed to earth, and shortly afterward zombies started walking around. The survivors gather together to figure out a way to defeat the monsters. Will they? Who knows, the movie just kind of cuts off!
