What Risen is
Near Creston, Iowa. Morning. A scorched cornfield. Lauren Stone arrives to study the site of a meteor strike, now a government quarantine zone. The landscape has turned alien; something is mutating. Her investigation reveals a threat beyond comprehension. For fans of low-budget, high-concept 1950s sci-fi.
