Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

gordon lucas I love this movie, and even own it on laserdisc.Most critics of this movie miss what I think is the real point of this hilarious spoof. Here is an alien monster out to wipe out the bunch of them, and to a man (and woman!) they are acting more like teenagers in the back seat of a car than interstellar warriors! The cast is totally concerned with making out with each other, and to heck with the monster, or anything else for that matter, in a truly bizarre attempt to commit group suicide. The Dead Space is really between their ears!Yes, it is basically a remake of Corman's Forbidden World, but effects (especially the robot) are better and Marc Singer is more believable as the heroic (?) Ranger.This is great stuff, and it becomes more of a hoot each time you watch it! It's one of the most entertaining travesties you'll ever see!

Scarecrow-88 Delta 5 is a disease which has no cure and kills whoever has contracted it, with spaceman("freelance controller") Marc Singer landing on a research station containing scientists attempting to find a cure. A cultured creature(a "metamorphic mutant") breaks loose ala ALIEN and starts attacking crew members. The creature infects those it slashes with a flesh-eating virus that ravages the body relatively quickly and so avoiding it's mandible claws are a must. Singer's guns seem to have little to no effect on the creature so another method will have to be discovered pronto or else no one will be able to survive.DEAD SPACE is umpteenth movie to use BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS footage of battles in space(Singer encounters some "resistance" while answering the distress signal which lands him in hot water)and probably features Roger Corman sets. You have the chest bursting scene where the mutant breaks from it's human shell(the creature, in it's initial infantile form, invaded a victim through the nostril of her nose!) and continues to grow at an alarming rate(examples which mirror ALIEN, also). The uniqueness of this sci-fi horror's creature is that it is a virus which needs to kill because that's what it is designed to do. A virus kills cells and humans, as you know, have plenty of them. It travels through the science installation's vent system and becomes such a nuisance that anyone who has the misfortune of ending up in the same room with it normally doesn't last very long. As other like-minded individuals, I seek after low budget 80's sci-fi creature features, which rip off hits like ALIEN, producing clones on a smaller scale with B-movie casts. DEAD SPACE operates in this fashion which is why I enjoyed it more than the mainstream crowd who would probably find this laughable junk not worthy of their time. Director Fred Gallo shoots around the rubber creature as much a possible, attempting to make it scary, even though the grand reveal(and this is often this case) turns out to be a bit underwhelming. It does allow Singer to play hero, and he gets to show off his muscular physique for the ladies. Singer has a partner in a robot who operates under his command(basically a man with props glued to a uniform)he calls "tinpan".

gridoon The filmmakers apparently had enough money to be able to afford decent makeup effects, but not enough for a creature that would move around and attack convincingly. We never get a chance to see the "monster" move from one place to another - whenever that happens (supposedly), the camera focuses on the "terrified" reactions of the humans that are nearby. And when a man is attacked by it, he simply seems to be holding an inanimate object against himself so that it won't fall to the ground. This is still not the worst "Alien" rip-off around (the two "Xtro" films are even worse, for example); it's actually sufficiently entertaining if you've got 68 (!!) minutes to spare. (*1/2)

BaronBl00d I saw Alien. I loved Alien. Dead Space is no Alien. Take Alien and leave out Sigourney Weaver and other credible actors, remove artful direction by Ridley Scott, eliminate wonderful special effects, extract suspense, banish a sensible, thought-provoking script, exile any kind of passion in the material and you have this mess of a film called Dead Space. What a complete bore! Master thespian Marc Singer stars as the space vigilante out to help a space station in the middle of cheesy special-effects land. Soon due to biological testing, a metamorphic mutant is created to fight disease only it ends up becoming a behemoth of evil trying to kill every person alive. The mutant goes through several excrutiating special effect stages including an adolescent stage where it resembles not a little a mini-Godzilla. The film was a test of my endurance not to fall asleep or fast forward or turn the television off. Roger Corman produced this innate rip-off and he should be ashamed. At least if you are not going to use something original, try and do some justice to your source. The film is so bad that there is even a softcore sex scene which happens in a dream! The only dead space in this film was the 80 minute void that I can never replace! Whew! Bow Wow!
