A substance, similar to a huge mass with a life of its own, heads towards an American town devouring everything it encounters. It is the result of a government scientists' experiment and it seems that nothing and no one can stop it. When all hope seems lost, a young man discovers that the "substance" can be eliminated with cold. Remake of the successful 1958 fanta-horror. Scholastic, without flaws, almost identical to the original '58 film except for the use of colors and a few extra effects. Lacking originality, it remains fluid and quite entertaining.
