Exploding head was on par with Scanners, A+

Everything about this film is on the level of those porn films with a story, especially acting. I was actually waiting for that guy with mustache to say something like 'you ordered pizza. Miss?' and get it on. When the fucking actually started, I left my jaw on the floor. This is truly bad flick, even by Corman standards, but bizarre enough to be enjoyable and fun in that special way.

Outrageous rip-off of _Alien_ (not to mention _Forbidden Planet_ and _The Empire Strikes Back_). O'Connell is raped by a gigantic maggot (a scene you're not likely to forget); Haig is stabbed to death by his own severed arm; "Twin Peaks"'s Zabriskie bursts into flames; _Red Shoe Diaries_ maven King is mauled by an H. R. Giger reject; and "Happy Days"'s own Moran is disemboweled before her head graphically bursts apart!

Mostly frightening because of the thought of TWO Robert Englunds.

You mean to tell me that woman's greatest fear was being larva-raped by a 50-foot mealworm engorged on the arm-flesh of a tough, yet soft-spoken Sid Haig? Okay, I can believe that. Cue 80s sci-fi synth riff...now.

worst ear-gouging sound mix ever. who's idea was it to make all the sound effects ten times as loud as the rest? this movie's so stupid. and fun. :) the alien appearances are as random as they the thing most to look forward to. best part: robert englund biting his fist in shock/fear. haven't seen that in a long time. so great. :D

Hey, James Cameron. How did you get your start?

bad, unintresting, tedious, silly little film that I did not like!

The mood here falls somewhere between Bava's "Planet of the Vampires" and "Event Horizon", only gorier and much more confused than either. Plot ranges from demented to just plain stupid, but despite its uncountable technical faults it's pretty entertaining throughout.

Marvelous and cheap post-Alien sci-fi horror, starring both Freddy Krueger and Captain Spaulding. Works in some ways as a kind of precurser to Event Horizon, while taking cues from earlier psychological sci-fi fare like Forbidden Planet and Solaris (filtered through a low budget scuzzy Corman filter, of course).

Worm-rape, Robert Englund fighting an evil version of himself and Sid Haig playing a big emotional ninja with crystal ninja star, all put together by Roger Corman and James Cameron -- what's not to love? Great bad movie!

Aliens-ish sci-fi adventure about a crew sent deep into space to the planet Morganthus to determine what happened to a previous expedition which had gone missing. They promptly crash the ship and discover a massive alien pyramid filled with all sorts of freaky worm creatures. Not too shabby for an early 80s B-movie with some cheesy effects and gory deaths, but the ending is pretty silly.

Terrible Alien ripoff that truly fails to deliver on any level of entertainment. It's not funny, it's not smart, the special effects are atrocious, the story is a terrible knockoff, the dialog is atrocious, the acting is bad. Everything about the movie is bad, and not in a so bad it's good way either. The only redeeming quality is that some of the painted world backdrops look neat. That's it.
