| Sci-Fi Movie PageJames O'EhleyAt certain points you'd be forgiven for thinking that you're watching a soft-core flick. |
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordThe monster, an obvious HR Giger rip-off, looks completely different every time it’s onscreen; of course, it’s supposed to be continually mutating, but mostly it looks too immobile to be menacing. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergA nastier, sillier, cheaper version of Alien -- but the blu-ray is great! |
| User ReviewMark G:fresh: :fresh: :fresh: :fresh: :fresh: [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3]This is another one that I'm giving a high rating to because it's one of thoes "You won't belive how funny it is but it's not supposed to be" kind of movies. Very low budget "Alien" rip off. There's a great part, when it becomes nessacary to operate on a guy and cut out his liver, without putting him to sleep first. After cutting him open but before pulling his liver out he stops screamming and has them hold on for a second, . . . . . . . . . . . . one last drag on a cigerett. If you can find it, buy it, and watch it[/size][/font] |
| User ReviewEugene AThis movie is an absolute guilty pleasure for me. I'm fully aware that it is a low-budget imitator of Ridley Scott's Alien (1979), but there's something about this film that still makes me enjoy it regardless. I'll be fully honest and say that I though the story, acting, and special effects were actually pretty good for a low-budget 1980's sci fi horror movie, and music is some of the greatest 80's cheese I've ever heard in cinema. So yes, I do in fact enjoy this movie for what it is. |
| User ReviewDavid WDespicably unpleasant 80's "Alien" knock-off, bursting-at-the-seams with utterly vile splatter effects, loads of gratuitous female nudity (Not that there's anything wrong with that!), plentiful poorly-lit, low-rent, soft-core sex-scenes, & a simple-minded, extraneous plot ( A motley group of geneticists attempt to corral a slavering, murderous-mutant escapee from their lab with very unsuccessful results-), mainly present as an excuse to showcase the slightly pornographic & VERY moist & slimy goings-on. This is Producer Roger Corman's sleaziest effort ever (And that says alot!!), and I love it!! SPOILER ALERT: The drooling "Alien"-Imitation menace is finally done in at film's end by feeding it some cancerous tumors from the terminally-ill wacky-professor character (Joyously-hyper Fox Harris, in his ever-present mung-drenched lab coat-). They, of course are removed from him without the aid of anesthesia, & in very bloody close-up shots! Mmmm-mmmm!!! Somebody get me a spoon!! |
| User ReviewZach OSchlocky fun. It's a goofy journey with some memorable scenes, gross FX, and enough nudity for a cinemax late night film. |
| User ReviewJames OThough Galaxy of Terror gets the rap for being an Alien knock off, this is more similar to Alien. It's got great gore, a fantastic monster, sweet make-up FX by John Carl Buechler, a rocking score, and some nudity. So there's something for everyone. Remade terribly in 1991 as Dead Space. |
| User ReviewChance FFrigging awesome Alien rip-off beaming with sleaze and slime. Sci-fi trash at its best! |
| User ReviewFrancisco GAn amazing looking sci-fi flick for such a tiny budget, fun, complete nonsensical opening, loads of female exploitation, vintage synth soundtrack, tons of gore, stupid monsters and a plot stolen from Alien. What more can you ask from your average cheesy sci-fi flicks? |
