One of them lands in the water just beyond the resort. Everyone flees screaming to their rooms, expecting a wall of water to follow, but the tsunami never arrives.

Their muffled screams are the last thing anyone hears before the signal is lost.... If you liked the movies Alien and Independence Day, you'll love Under Darkness.
