    I notice that various people criticising the film for blatantly copying Alien but I say so what, for what it was I thought it was alright, I was never bored of the film and it did have an interesting plot. The film did make me laugh with how the doors sound in the film, the doors sounds like blaster firing from Star Wars so I thought that was definitely funny in a good way. However I did find two problems with this film, the first problem I found was that the Alien creature was very under-used, it didn't really appear much until the final act of the film so that was a wasted opportunity. The second problem is that the story and some scenes were a bit ropey, and there's some things I find a bit baffling in it but not to the point of being obnoxious. Even though people have discarded this film just because it's a low budget Alien clone but I say give it a chance because it's really not that bad.

    Yeah it's an Alien rip off and the monster isn't as good. But there are a few things that it actually did better, as far as the characters went. The big lacking is the, well... Ripley made the Alien movies and you didn't have someone like her to stand out, you had neither a strong male nor a strong female lead... you didn't have any strong leads at all, and that. Wendy Schaal did a respectable job for the intended intelligent scream queen, but given it's an alien rip off you didn't want her to be a scream queen, you wanted her to be bad@$$. And, for a standard horror movie scream queen she did a great job... just you didn't want that in a movie like this after Alien set the standard. It was Klaus Kinski that stole the show and, unfortunately, they didn't let it ride on his back. He could have carried it if they gave him a longer role. He was fun to watch. But ultimately it fails for weakness in characters and no real worthy lead. But it was still entertaining, so 10 stars because... movies are made to entertain.
