TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

CookieInvent There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

oulamies An expedition team investigating a planet faces terror as a woman on the team gets raped by an alien (with something that looked like a plastic pipe filled with green ooze) and starts killing her colleagues. The team will have a hard time surviving. After all it's a pregnant woman who's hunting them down! Being an 80s sci-fi movie, there has to be a space bunker full of lights, buttons, monitors and fancy space suits. They did some fine work with the backgrounds, and no fog machines were spared. There's also explosions. Yay! This movie is pretty dumb in many ways but hey, turn your brain down and enjoy the violence and cheese this movie has to offer. It can be entertaining.

puzzle10 Wow. This is an unforgivably bad film.In short: a dozen Knots Landing types (lots of make up, big hair and tight-but-ill-fitting pants) are inexplicably playing doctor deep inside a mine whilst their preggers-via-alien-in-vitro friend emasculates the whole bunch with her alien pre-partem craziness. Oh, and they're all really, really stupid and whiny.OK. So that's not really the plot. This is: a bunch of folks encounter an alien on some barren planet. The alien impregnates one of the crew, and the whole film is everyone trying to survive her increasingly nasty behaviour.The film is low budget, and what budget they had, they didn't use effectively. Every environment was recognizable for what it was: a mine tunnel (alien surface), the back of a delivery truck in shadows (the weapons storage facility). You get the idea. They didn't even really use props to give you something to look at. Oh yeah - and the alien is barely in the film - they clearly couldn't afford to show one as more than a static prop. So the crazy pregnant lady is the only baddie in this film.I guess we were supposed be looking at the hot 80s T'n'A (and there's a fair amount of it). But all the soft-core doesn't really work when you simultaneously have to watch the lead live through an accelerated pregnancy, complete with hysterical crying and distressing emotional craziness.My guess is that the director was re-enacting an old break up or his parent's divorce. That's what comes across in this this film: a woman scorned. This film was 10 years of toxic marriages distilled down to 90 minutes, with lots of tight pants and touching.Seriously: one star out of ten.

matmoo stippopop Gotta say, fell in love with this awesome, captivating movie right from the start... i'm sure there is a whole plethora of other movie goers who feel the same about this, especially with the new limited, special edition in a tin on DVD release!!The special effects are superb, literally bringing the movie to life with such passion and determination from the cast... It's quite emotional to watch.Right from the beginning where the film starts to the middle, where things really start happening and the viewer is completely engrossed, right the way through to the very end where, unfortunately, the movie has to end itself. Superb twist, Gotta be honest... I needed a tissue or two.As for the awesome soundtrack. Especially the theme "bell connection"... Completely captivating from the onset. the melodic and euphoric tones really bring the vivid idealism of the director's imaginary (although thought provokingly surreal and very very lifelike) world to life with real vigour.I love this film. I have two copies.

Woodyanders Man, this deliciously vicious early 80's British low-budget "ALIEN" rip-off can't seem to buy a positive comment. Well, luckily I'm here to post the token "where's this fool's head at?" odd man out favorable review for this enjoyably rough'n'nasty sci-fi/horror nugget. This extremely crude (and hence pretty smoking in my severely misguided book) dreck epic par excellence arguably boasts the single most brazen and absurd premise imaginable: Judy Geeson (yes, the same exact Judy Geeson of "To Sir With Love" fame) delivers a bang-up performance in the very thankless part of a luckless arid desert planet explorer who gets raped and impregnated by a foul extraterrestrial monster, which in turn causes her to go utterly bonkers and savagely butcher her fellow researchers. Geeson blows one guy's stomach open with a bulky laser gun, slices up future Steve Martin better half Victoria Tennant with a pair of scissors and snacks on a shrieking Jennifer Ashley, taking time out in between committing these ghastly murders to give painful birth to two slimy and ugly lethal humanoid alien babies in a sickening sequence that's absolutely appalling to behold (naturally, it's one of my favorite moments in the film). Directed with a laudable lack of taste and restraint by Norman J. Warren, with a quick, steady pace, a suitably bleak tone, some pleasingly barbed dialogue ("That would look great on the report," one beleaguered astronaut caustically remarks, "the team terrorized by an expectant mother"), an unusually strong cast, plenty of unflinching in-your-face graphic splatter, and a way funky score by John Scott, "Inseminoid" rates highly as first-rate unapologetic down'n'dirty trash that's not to be missed by hardcore connoisseurs of low-grade sleazy cinema.
