Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

VideoXploiter This 'homage' to another certain sci-fi-horror movie knows exactly what it is, and goes all in, with mixed results. On the positive side, the film maintains an even tone, with a tense and creepy atmosphere, good use of lighting. The effects are pretty good all around, from the space sequences to the gore (there's a good head explosion). The cast is serviceable, playing their stock characters as well as can be expected, but for me, the German frienemy character was the most entertaining (I'm a sucker for a funny sleazeball). The musical score is just as stock as the characters, unfortunately. Where the film drops the ball, is the end reveal of the titular creature - hokey about sums it up, which was a shame, because the film does a great job of building up to that point. Still, this movie is a recommend, as it does enough right (or should I say, rips enough off right). So where is the sequel 'Creatures'?

Bezenby Is that his real voice he's using on this one? Man, it makes him even creepier than usual, not only that, he's doing a Stuart Hall and feeling up the female crew of an...wait...getting too far ahead. Y'see what has happened is this - there's two rival companies, one German, one American, messing around on Titan doing mining and stuff, only something's gone wrong and the American's have to send a rescue mission out there, only to find an alien zoo where one of the creatures has escaped and seemingly wasted a German crew...except for Klaus, who makes himself known by grabbing the boob of one of the Americans. This creature can control your mind if it gets close enough to plant some sort of leech on your head (kind of like the brain slugs from Futurama!), and it promptly begins taking over the crew and killing them off in various ways. It's like Alien, basically, with some zombie types thrown in, but it's rather good!There's a few gory scenes to keep you going, from faces being ripped off, heads being bitten off, and a head explosion, and it must be said that the majority are right in saying that the film does slow down a bit towards the end, it's still worth it if you're into these early eighties films.

ZeppelinB9 (SPOILER ALERT: As per the guidelines and term agreement, this review may contain spoilers. Continue reading at own risk.) Okay, it does "borrow" heavily from Alien (stalled ship on an unknown planetary body, an abandoned spaceship discovered therein, and something that kills the living crew of the stalled ship, etc.) But, the plot seems like the things that Dan O'Bannon was influenced by (anyone with the Director's cut of Alien on DVD can read that he drew from a story about a life form that stole people's minds. On another note, this plot seems to be drawn from an episode of Buck Rodgers that dealt with a space vampire. I will admit it...I am a child of 70's and 80's sci-fi.) But, I can say that it is the mirror form of Alien; the venerable Lyman Ward makes no doubt about his siding with the corporate interests (alluded to in Alien, and acts like a suit when script called for it) or that Diane Salinger seems like Ash(creepy...in my opinion) Unlike Alien, as others have noted, this film capitalizes on gore (but, for good effect.) It is cheesy, but I still love it. I put it up there with Roger Corman's Galaxy of Terror as the memorable rip offs of Ridley Scott. Nothing avant guard, but what movies were originally: an escape for an hour or two before getting back to reality.

MotionPictureMeltdown This movie is 97 minutes of pure terribleness. There are just really no saving factors for it. Obviously the team sets themselves up for destruction in the start as they decided to land (against the only smart cast member's orders) in a crevice where another ship has already gone silent. Even after they crash and people start dying, rather than sticking together, they run off in separate directions getting infected left and right. It's like a Benny Hill music should be playing in the background as one individual commands the next to "go to engineering" where characters keep dying one by one. The cast is terrible. Not only does pretty much every character look and speak the same, but the lead actor Klaus Kinski(in the last 5 years of his life) I believe has truly become crazy. His constant switching between German and English is hard to understand and annoying. I could make a better creature with poster tubes, some engine oil and fake teeth. The special effects are god awful, as well as the most of the props look like straight out of Dollar Tree. Every time a door opens, I hear a tie fighter shooting the place up. The little bit of gore that was in the movie wasn't horrible, but hardly makes up for the sheer ridiculousness of the creature, characters, and plot. I'd say the entire $750,000 of the budget was used on the one good head explosion the movie had. We podcasted this movie along with the 2011 Creature and recommend exactly neither of them. Stay away...stay far away....I usually will give one out of ten stars for acknowledging that yes, this is indeed a movie. I will give it a second for mediocre gore and the nostalgia of Klaus Kinski.Check us out for more movie reviews by looking up Motion Picture Meltdown on Facebook, Unitedcypher.net, or MPMPodcast on Twitter.
