This film essentially begins with a meteorite drifting through space until it crashes on a deserted island off the coast of Africa. Not too long afterward a small team of construction engineers are sent to this island to clear space for an airstrip and set up a camp for a drilling company due to arrive several weeks later. As it so happens, while working to clear away debrie they come across a strange metallic rock which is unlike anything they have ever seen before. But when they attempt to remove it the meteorite emits a strange kind of radiation into the bulldozer which not only takes possession over it but soon begins to seek out and kill all of those on the island. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I didn't expect much from this film prior to viewing it and as a result I wasn't too disappointed as it lacked the necessary suspense or horror which would have greatly enhanced it. Of course, being a made-for-television movie might have had some bearing on this as well. In any case, while it wasn't necessarily a bad movie by any means, it could have been better and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
