not to spoil things, but actually it assimilates several of the cast,if one includes an adjacent research camp...AND an alien spacecraft is also thrown in...not really a carpenter fan, but this is a horror/scifi i keep coming back to...and for once the sequel (which this is) exceeds the ancient black white original in all ways...ciao.
