This Alien Is Pure Evil In the sci-fi tradition of Alien and Close Encounters of The Third Kind comes Xtro. Sam Phillips (Philip Sayer) is a scientist mysteriously abducted by evil extraterrestrials. Only his young son, Tony, witnesses the bizarre kidnapping. Sam returns to Earth three years later as a monstrous alien. He's back to claim his son for his new homeland and to infect the blood of random earthlings. Strange powers are transmitted to Tony, enabling him to animate his toys into lethal weapons. Together, father and son ravage anyone who crosses their path. Xtro features Maryam D'Abo (The Living Daylights) and is directed by Harry Bromley Davenport (Xtro: The Second Encounter).

Product Description Three years after the disappearance of Sam Phillips (Philip Sayer), his young son Tony (Brazil's Simon Nash) pines for daddy's return when mom Rachel (Macabre's Bernice Stegers) takes up with another man. The fractured household, which also includes a sexy babysitter (Bond girl Maryam d'Abo), is further upset when Sam mysteriously returns -and has a nasty habit of attacking local residents and seeping mysterious fluids from his wrist. Despite his father's menacing behavior, Tony continues to idolize him...even after he realizes dad might not even be human at all. A grisly, fast-paced blend of sci-fi thrills and gut-churning horror, Xtro became an instant audience favorite and remains one of the most popular British cult films today.

This British take on the ALIEN theme is not for the squeamish, but packs a B-movie shock. Sam Phillips (Philip Sayer) is kidnapped by aliens while playing with his son. He reappears three years later-- not quite himself, with bloody results for the quiet British community. A gory flip side to E.T. Look for Maryam D'Abo, who went on to be a Bond girl in THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS (1987)
Director Harry Bromley Davenport directed two XTRO sequels and producer Robert Shaye went on to great success producing the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET series.
