Threshold (2003 TV Movie)
5/10
Watchable Flick for Killing Time Only
22 April 2006
While repairing a spacecraft, an astronaut is perforated in the arm by a tiny meteor. Once back in Houston, he stays in the hospital for a further examination. Along the night, he breeds some sort of alien moths that attack people with B-negative blood type, transforming them in creatures with claws. Dr. Jerome 'Geronimo' Horne (Nicholas Lea) and Dr. Savannah Bailey (Jamie Lurner) have forty-eight hours for finding a way of destroying the aliens, otherwise Houston will be completely bombed to limit the outbreak.

"Threshold" is a non-original sci-fi movie with the usual clichés, and with a storyline that mixes "The Astronaut's Wife", "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", "Alien" and other sci-fi of the 50's and 60's. The ham Nicholas Lea is awful, the effects are very poor, and in the end it is a watchable flick for killing time only. The conclusion suggests a sequel that fortunately has not been filmed. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Invasores" ("Invaders")
