You Can't Escape It!

A tense, cerebral sci-fi horror about an astronaut's grotesque alien transformation that explores the unknown terrors of space exploration and the fragility of human form.

The first manned spacecraft, fired from an English launchpad, is lost from radar before roaring back to Earth and crashing in a farmer's field. The rocket is found to contain only one of the three men who took off in it; and he is unable to talk but appears to be undergoing a torturous physical and mental metamorphosis.
