A NASA scientist discovers transmissions to and from outer space. Along with is wife, they track down the source to a convent headed by priest Christopher Lee. The nuns and Lee turn out to be aliens who need a crystal from NASA to get back to their home planet. They blackmail the scientist to steal it for them, but they have more sinister plans. This combination of horror, sci-fi and 70s disaster flick works best as the first genre, mainly because of the presence of Lee; the other genres are hampered by the low budget. Sue Lyon, the original Lolita in Kubrick's film, plays the wife, in one of many appearances in bottom-of-the-barrel 70s film towards the end of her career.
