Viewing Notes
Not a good movie in the usual definition of the term, but damn did I love this! Directed and co-written by Luigi Cozzi (under a different name) who also did Starcrash, Contamination is basically an Alien exploitation film with bits of other classic sci-fi in it, including Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
It’s incredibly gory with some great practical FX and was shot in five weeks on a limited budget.
Seriously love this movie!
