Viewing Notes
I was expecting this to be much worse than it was. Despite it being an Alien ripoff it had some interesting elements to it, good set design, and decent acting. I also loved the creature, especially in the early stages.
The at times weak plot points undermined the movie however and kept it from being a truly solid sci-fi/horror. Despite that, still worth a watch.
