Scintilla

2013

The planet’s deadliest secret… is about to be unearthed.

An elite team of mercenaries are chosen to carry out a covert operation deep in a former Soviet State. They must first battle the ferocious armed militia at ground level before descending through a maze of tunnels inhabited by dark, menacing creatures.

When the team arrives at an underground laboratory they discover the purpose of their mission: a genius scientist has been genetically splicing alien DNA with human and the results of this revolutionary work need to be secured. The soldiers must protect and save the specimens whilst avoiding the threats of multiple predators, both human and otherwise.

Reviews

“Scintilla is an excellent example of genre-savviness done right”

Critics Associated

“A triumph of minimal monster design. Not quite a creature feature, not far removed from the pit of Quatermass, this is classic stuff”
