Not boring between one explosion and the next

Somewhere beyond Mars, one space ship hits another which disappeared 25 years ago. Rea (Musetta Vander) knows it was the ship of her father, and wants to find out what killed its crew.

Obviously, it's another rip-off with the usual "Terminator" and "Alien" ingredients, also "The Thing", "Outland" and "Total Recall" come to mind. The story incorporates the usual clichés, but still it's not too bad when you are looking for some simple fun. In opposite to a few other low-budget SF flicks, I wasn't bored between one explosion and the next, some actors are worth mentioning: Christopher Neame, Musetta Vander and Christopher Atkins did a good job.

Besides, the German dubbing is surprisingly good. Whereas in other low-budget SF movies, one often has the impression they are reading their lines off the sheet, in "Shadowchaser III", where there's a lot of screaming going on, the voice actors are really into it and create the necessary passion.
