A 1970s creature-feature survival horror where environmental catastrophe turns wilderness animals into relentless killers, trapping hikers in a brutal, escalating siege.

The depletion of the earth's ozone layer causes animals above the altitude of 5000 feet to run amok, which is very unfortunate for a group of hikers who get dropped off up there by helicopter just before the quarantine is announced.
