Thanks to an auto accident, a parasitic alien manages to get into a hospital. It quickly moves from the crash victim into a candy striper. Among the patients at the hospital are some rather short high school basketball players. It is through them that we watch the events unfold. The infected, or inhabited, candy striper becomes predatory. She goes after men for sex and after women to spread. Infected women develop an incredible sweet tooth and devour anything sweet they can find. The horror then spreads. As the horror takes over more of the hospital and the CDC locks it down, the basketball players and a few friends do everything they can to try and get out of the hospital. But soon it becomes evident that the problem has spread too far. Now if they manage to escape it will only be to delay the inevitable if they cannot halt the spread of aliens before they get out and take over the whole world.

The movie starts with a teenage blind girl and her friend having a car accident, seemingly the blind girls friend dies and she is then taken to hospital. She has contracted an infection from some kind of alien seed. One of the candy stripers tries to help her stay alive but is also infected after they kiss. From then on the candy stripers are infecting each other, slaughtering people or trying to breed with several of the men in the hospital. They also like very sweet things but you will have to see to find out why! It is up to a group of high school students who become trapped within the hospital to try and put an end to the madness. This film does offer something most viewers would like to see:horror,nudity,gore and some comedy too. Don't expect to see a great film although for its budget i feel as though it worked well with a few likable characters, the way in which the candy stripers were killed was unusual and there is a scene where one of the main candy stripers transforms into an alien and shows her true self. Fairly predictable with a straight forward plot!My rating is 5 out of 10!

Two young women are driving on a highway at night and come across an overturned vehicle. They get out of the car to take a closer look. Realizing that something is dreadfully wrong, they get scared and drive away quickly. Unfortunately, one of the girls, "Tammy" (Sarah McGuire) has been embedded with an alien life-form and she kills the driver, "Sue" (Monique Cooper) while it is still in motion. Tammy is then taken to a hospital in a small town called Wucaipa where she embeds the alien life-form into a local candy striper named "Janine" (Deanna Brooks) before dying. At around the same time three high school basketball players, "Matt" (Brian Lloyd), "Brian" (Kevin Thomas Fee) and "Joey" (William Edwards Jr.) are injured in a game and are taken to this same hospital for treatment. Accompanying them is the sister of one of the players, "Cherie" (Torie White) and Matt's girlfriend, "Krystal" (Nicole Rayburn). From then on it becomes a struggle for life and death for all concerned. At any rate, as others have already mentioned this is not a great movie. The acting is below average, and the plot is totally predictable. Still, it has plenty of decent action and some attractive women which adds some scenery, if nothing else. That said, even though everything has pretty much been done before and this movie doesn't really go over any new ground, it was still an okay movie. Not great, but okay. And while it certainly could have been better, I've definitely seen a lot worse.

Okay, don't expect much from a low budget film that features numerous Playboy bunnies and you're in for a night of modest entertainment. Some of the scenes, alien transmission in particular, are so bad they are simply hilarious. My uncle almost died trying to watch this because he couldn't stand how stupid it was, however, with a group of friends getting through this film is very easy. The R-rating could only have been given for the partial nudity in the movie (breasts and bottoms) and not for the "violence". The "scary" scenes in here are only scary because of the cinematography, the blood is orange ... I mean ... come on, orange blood.

A blind girl (Sarah Ball) infected with an alien seed lies in a hospital bed, a candy striper (Deanna Brooks) watching her. "Give me a kiss" she asks and the candy striper, a little weirded out, gives this dying girl her last wish. While they kiss, an alien pops out her mouth and infects her as well. Now this candy striper infects the others (Monique Cooper, Eliza Swenson, Serria Tawan) and they go on a mission to either infect or kill the rest of the hospital, right as out heros (Brian Lloyd, William Edwards Jr., Kevin Thomas Fee, Nicole Rayburn, and Tori White) arrive.Okay, everyone here is pointing out the fact that Playboy bunnies are given starring roles in this movie. Sure, they're not so great at acting, but they surprise you with OK jobs and they do more than sex scenes (There's only 2).The special effects are pretty bad, even though I was satisfied with the aliens that pop out of the mouths and the last look at the alien in full form.It all has a sort of "Slither" type feel. Slither in a Hospital, if you will.A worthy entry to the "so bad it's good" pile!
