     Take a first-person view of a night of terror in this entertaining homage to infamous B-movies of yesteryear. The going away party for everyone’s friend, Rob Hawkins, soon turns into the beginning of a nightmare for all in attendance. NYC is being attacked by a strange, unknown creature, standing at over three hundred feet high and wreaking havoc upon everything in sight. A small band of party-goers decide to make a break for it, until they learn of an injured friend across town, Rob’s on again/off again girlfriend Beth. The mission is on to rescue the woman he loves; but they gotta get there first. To do so they must evade creatures great and small and overcome sorrow and tragedy in the face of disaster. Shot from a first-person perspective, this unique film pulls out all the stops and delivers on all levels. Roar.
