Scary Creature Invades Video Box, Disappears For Most of Movie, 31 July 2000
3/10
Author: acidxian from Haddonfield, IL

I remember when I was younger reading all about this film in "Fangoria" magazine, and I was really excited when they finally gave it a letterboxed DVD release. In retrospect, they could have probably found someone's home movie to digitally remaster and it would have been more enjoyable than this film.

I wanted to like the film and I couldn't, it was simply too boring and uneventful. Basically there are two acts: one involves an archaeological dig on an "alien" planet (looks pretty much like Earth to me) and the second features poor Judy Geeson being impregnated by the aliens, which results in Geeson rushing around the tunnels, compulsively murdering her companions after trying to make them laugh with silly faces.

They only show a glimpse of the monster, ditto for the two babies that are birthed by Geeson, and that's probably a good thing, as they are basically unconvincing hand puppets. Everything leading up to the "alien birth" finale is boring, with precious few thrills to pad out the run time. It's not well-written enough to be interesting, and not over-the-top enough to be a great B-movie. Very shoddy production, and not even played for very many laughs, although they really go for some camp value at the end when we get to see inside the spaceship of the rescuers. This sequence was truly hilarious! View this one only if you're addicted to junk cinema and "ALIEN" ripoffs.
