The Falling (also known as Alien Predators and Mutant 2) is a 1987 American-Spanish science fiction horror film starring Dennis Christopher, Martin Hewitt, and Lynn-Holly Johnson.^[1]

Synopsis

Three teenagers vacationing in Spain drive through a town where the space station Skylab crashed several years earlier, bringing with it alien organisms that transform their human hosts into flesh-eating monsters.

Trivia

• The film was shot throughout Spain in May and June 1984, but not released until 1987.
• Production during the movie caused producer Carlos Aured to completely retire from filmmaking. In a 1999 interview with Fangoria, Aured mentioned that he tried several times to get the filmmakers to take a more professional approach to the film, but the crew was too laid back. As a result, the film went over schedule and over budget, from which they heaped all the debts onto Aured, once filming was complete.
