Unapologetic knock-off of Alien from producer Roger Corman and while there are some ridiculous scenes (the two female "scientist" wear high heels) and either under or over-acting, I did find most of this quite a bit of fun and can give some praise for making the low rent production design work. Not great by any means but respectable given the budget. **2.5/5**
