SYNOPSIS: 

An Ex Military specialist is called in one last time to recover deadly military experiment (PHOBE)who has escaped. Tracking the PHOBE to a small planet called Earth, Dapp must stop the Phobe and destroy the egg within 72 hours.

According to the IMDb, even though the budget is listed as $5000, the actual working budget of the movie was $250 dollars Canadian. The $5000 estimate comes from if the gear that was used to make the movie had to be rented. All the camera and lighting gear, including the editing suite's, were donated by the community channel that footed the bill for this turkey.

Most Ludicrous Premise
