A Distant planet hides a secret... An artifact buried deep... It makes your nightmares come alive! (...and then you die...)

This movie is one of my all time sci- fi /horror favorites. A hidden treasure from the cheesy vaults of '80s sci-fi. The effects are beautifully hand crafted and innovative and they still look good today. I have to say, the dark and colorful atmosphere of the film is very unique. It's a classic mix of monsters, miniatures and matte-paintings and of course make-up effects and gore! Not to mention continuity errors, plot holes and some poor acting.

At the same time (a year after)there was this other Corman classic, sleazy sci-fi alien clone: Forbidden World (aka The Mutant), only this time it was much cheaper, recycled effects, sex and nudity and of course gore. Still, Forbidden World is quite OK and fun to watch.

The story in Galaxy Of Terror is old and used, the same idea was also used in '90s films like The Sphere and Event Horizon. I was a young kid, when I first saw this film in a crappy, heavily cut VHS form and since then I wanted to see it again. A bit nostalgia here...

Now twenty years later I own the DVD- release of Galaxy Of Terror and this version was UNCUT, the infamous "worm rape"- scene and other gore is intact! It was also funny to see Erin Moran (from "Happy Days") to get the sci-fi "treatment".

The (UK) DVD quality is quite OK, uncut version, no extras, aspect ratio 4:3 (open matte?), mono sound. It should have deserved a Special Edition!!! -hopefully someday...

There is an Italian DVD release available, 16:9 screen format (cropped from the 4:3?) English audio, burnt in Italian subtitles.

What more can I say, I just love this film!
