Starring Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward, the film follows a handful of residents who discover gigantic, subterranean monsters with a voracious appetite for anything that moves. As the townsfolk grapple with the relentless and unpredictable attacks, the suspense intensifies, blending humor with heart-pounding terror. The creatures, dubbed Graboids, challenge the survival instincts of the eclectic group, turning the quiet desert community into a battleground.
