Plot

In 1989 on Kuttyhunk Island, scientist Mason Lane used microscopic parasites to advance human evolution. The experiment resulted in stronger, smarter, healthier humans, but something went wrong and three quarters of the island's residents died.

20 years later, a man pursued by police through the woods. As he reaches the shoreline, the writhing of a tiny parasite is seen beneath his skin. Trapped, the man dives into the ocean. As the police arrive at the shore, they hear a scream and see the man's remains disintegrating in the ocean.

Teenagers Jaimie Ackerman (Mircea Monroe), (daughter of the scientist who spearheaded the project), Kristen, Marco, and Justin, take a boat ride to Kuttyhunk Island. Their lodge is shown to be occupied with another couple who wake up to find their daughter infected with parasites only to be consumed by them as well. The group reaches the lodge afterwards with no idea what happened. Kristen decides to run in the morning before encountering a procession of men and women in mourning. She heads back to her lodge under watch by a mysterious figure.

Feline (The Stranglers album)

Feline is the seventh studio album by The Stranglers and was released in January 1983 (on the Epic record label in the United Kingdom). The first edition came with a free one-sided 7" single "Aural Sculpture Manifesto". Feline drew heavily on two of the dominant musical influences in Europe of the time, by using primarily acoustic guitars and electronic drums as well as Dave Greenfield's synthesizers. The American edition of the album included the British hit single "Golden Brown" as the closing track on side one of the original vinyl (and the fifth song in on the CD version).

Feline peaked higher than their earlier studio album release, La Folie, reaching No. 4 in the UK Albums Chart.

There were three singles released from Feline - The first was "European Female" which reached No. 9 in the UK Singles Chart in January 1983, and was followed by a remixed 7" version of "Midnight Summer Dream" in March (which peaked at No. 35 in the UK). The third and final single released was "Paradise" (released in July 1983) which reached No. 48.

Feline (band)

Feline were an English rock group formed in London, in 1995. They formed from the remnants of a few earlier underground bands such as Flinch and Miranda Sex Garden. Like most female-fronted rock groups of that era in popular music, they were likened to more mainstream acts such as Garbage, and The Cardigans.

Lead-singer Grog Prebble would never define Feline's music any more than acknowledging those dark elements within it, but admitteed to some influences such as Sonic Youth, Iggy Pop, and The Pixies. A classically trained pianist, Grog wrote the bulk of Feline's material; some of the songs she recorded with Feline were written by her prior to the band's formation.

Generally getting good write-ups in the rock press, such as NME and Kerrang!, they released a number of singles, a limited release album and a single full-length album between 1997 and 1998 but were not successful. Their record label dropped them in 1999 as part of a company-wide roster clear out, and they split, with several members moving onto form Ultraviolet, and then, the relatively more successful Die So Fluid.
