The End... Or Is It? | |
| Contamination / int_9e86e227 | comment |
The End... Or Is It?: Good news, the alien cyclops and presumably "queen" is dead. The bad news, there's eggs spread in secret on random cities around the world, and we see one burst in the middle of a crowded street just as the movie cuts to credits. | |
