flesh. Who can save humanity from enslavement and eventual

"Alien Apocalypse" tells the terrifying story of a team of
astronauts who have returned to Earth after completing their mission
in outer space. Dr. Ivan Hood (Bruce Campbell – the Evil Dead
trilogy and the upcoming Man With The Screaming Brain), Capt. Kelly
Lanahan (Renee O’Connor, Gabrielle from “Xena: Warrior Princess™”)
and Capt. Chuck Burkes (Michael Cory Davis – Alien Blood) have been
away for 40 years, deep in cryogenic sleep. Upon landing, the team
finds itself in Oregon – now an unrecognizable desert wasteland!
Soon, the intrepid trio are captured and forced into unceasing
labor. Now Dr. Hood and Kelly must lead a revolution to free the
human slaves from their alien taskmasters.
