Plot

Sam Phillips and his child Tony are playing outside their farm. The father is abducted by a strong light.

Three years later, the light returns, and plants a seed. A half-human half-alien creature grows up, and when it moves it is run over by a car. Ben is attacked and killed when he looks for the runaway man. Jane is also killed. The creature moves to a cottage nearby and attacks a woman, leaving her pregnant. When she returns to consciousness, her belly grows to abnormal size and she gives birth to a full-formed Sam and dies. Sam steals Ben's clothes and drives his car, without bothering to get rid of Jane's corpse, which will be found by a lorry-driver.

Sam seeks Tony, who lives in a condominium building in London, with his mother, her new boyfriend Joe Daniels, and a French au-pair Analise Mercier. Rachel and Joe are professional photographers and share a studio downtown. Many nights, Tony has got nightmares. He wakes up soaked in blood, but it's not his, as the family doctor discovers. Sam picks Tony up from school, until Rachel finds them. Although Joe doesn't like it -he intends to marry Rachel- Sam goes to live with them, saying he can't remember anything. Tony sees him eating his pet snake's eggs and runs from him. Sam goes after him, talking to him smoothly, and drinks his blood.

Rachel finds Jane's photo in Sam's clothes, but he can't remember her either. Tony discovers he has certain powers now, so he sends a human-size soldier toy to kill their nasty neighbour Mrs Goodman, in revenge for killing his pet snake. Also, a teddy-clown becomes a human-like clown.

Sam and Rachel both decide to visit their former residence, the farm, while leaving Tony at Analise's regard. However, she brings Michael, her boyfriend, and they make love. Tony demands to play hide-and-see with her. She does so, only to be knocked out by the clown and used as a kind of womb for the alien eggs. Tony sends a toy tank to kill Michael. He discovers Analise and runs away, but a puma kills him. The building keeper Mr. Knight is also killed when Rachel asks him to watch Tony, as nobody answers the phone at home.

Sam and Rachel make love in the abandoned farm, but she gets afraid because his skin starts to bleed and decompose. Joe has taken Tony there. Sam and Tony go up a hill towards the alien light. Sam has now taken the form of an alien, and his scream kills Joe. Along with Tony, Sam enters the light and returns to the alien world. Rachel then goes back to the flat on her own, only to be killed by the same creature that impregnated the woman in the cottage.
