Seven teens head up to a cabin on the lake for spring break. Mike has studied all horror films on video, and recognizes the signs of foreshadowing of doom. The others dismiss his concerns as the workings of a person that watches too many videos, but there really is something out there, and the teens begin experiencing an attrition problem when they start stumbling into all the cliches found in a typical teen horror film.

A group of horny youths decide to enjoy their Spring Break at a secluded backwoods house, unaware that there is a mind-controlling carnivorous monster on the prowl. Only the horror movie fanatic geek of the bunch can save the day...if he can get anybody to listen to him.
THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE is a commendable low-budget parody, and a solid B monster flick at the same time. I usually don't care for crossing the horror and comedy genres, but I was surprised to find this one entirely enjoyable. A nice looking cast, a laughable slimy monster(imagine a giant land-dwelling tadpole with a huge, toothy rictus and tentacles bearing industrial strength suction cups), and a couple of good gross-out gore sequences make TNOT a worthy watch and the perfect party flick.
