Central Highlands, Vietnam, July 1971. When American pilots detect something big and heavy moving through the jungle some 75 miles northwest of Fort Nowhere, Lt. John Barrows and his squad are sent to check it out. At the same time, NVA Captain Ho Huong is tasked with a two-fold mission by his commanding officer. His main objective is to locate and exterminate bands of rogue VC who have been terrorizing villagers south of the DMZ. He is also to check out reports of something very large that is moving through the jungle. As the two squads of opposing soldiers carry out their missions, both Barrows and Ho realize that something large and dangerous is cutting a swath of death and destruction through the region and that the only way to deal with it is to join forces. The Killer Things is an off-beat, exciting blend of horror, science fiction and men in war caught up in a situation that’s enough to try their sanity as they form an alliance to deal with a horror that simply shouldn’t exist! 3
