The press kit spends a lot of time trying to frame Kevin Bacon’s casting as a return to "solid acting" rather than just a paycheck. Bacon famously disliked making the movie at the time (he has since come around to it), but the studio papers spin his involvement as an artistic choice to do a "blue-collar action hero" role.

Behind-the-scenes interviews with Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward filmed on set in 1989.

The story follows handymen Valentine "Val" McKee (Kevin Bacon) and Earl Bassett (Fred Ward), who are eager to leave their dull lives in Perfection behind. Their departure is halted by a series of mysterious, violent deaths in the area. Alongside a visiting seismology student named Rhonda (Finn Carter), they discover the culprits: giant, subterranean, worm-like creatures that hunt by sensing surface vibrations.
