Wife Carol is at her breaking point and daughter Sandra finds little respite from the parental bickering in her boyfriend Larry. Then one afternoon, an alien space craft lands in the desert. The alien takes over the minds of some of the local humans and animals and is able to see through them. The animals attack and the terror begins.Shortly thereafter, the kindly family dog attacks Carol, harmless "Him" begins to exhibit menacing behaviors, and other animal life seems to become peculiarly aggressiveins.
