Why do folks bother to make such films? Here was have a Dirty Dozen plot with the Doz led, not by Lee Marvin, but a very hot babe who used to be the spotted chick on some Star Trek spinoff. As usual in horror movies, they enter a sealed place and stupidly separate so they can be picked off one by one by a yellow light. There is utterly no intelligence to any of this. I just got weary as the chars insist on going off alone even though not one time will the yellow light attack any but a single. Yet these futuristic bozos can't see this pattern. Worth 80 minutes of your time if you have nothing else to do.

When I saw the box to this movie I thought it might be good for a laugh as it was a normal low budget frightener. I was quite impressed by the way it started though. It has the main character trying to escape from a prison and getting caught only to be told he was being tested for a mission. He and a train load of other misfits are to be sent to a space colony to kill everyone. The introductions to the characters automatically tell you what they're like. Theres Koosman, a pilot. Goodis, a dumb acrobatic who is great small range. Cutter, a rapist and killer. Po, a huge black guy who killed loads of people and so on. There are more but I'd take forever explaining them. They all arrive on the space port anyway and find that everyone has been butchered and mutilated by an animal or something. Is it Bigfoot? Is it the Loch Ness Monster? No. It's just the usual alien monster cover up type thing but its fun to guess WHO it is. An adult Corey Feldman and 80's pop idol Rick Springfield give good performances and make it quite suspenseful. It just turns into a rip-off of Predator at the end though. Quite bloody, good fight scenes and a good monster make it worthwhile too. Overall the good and bad points it gets a 6 out of 10. Now go and find it!

I thought this would be an interesting movie, after reading the plot outline. When I saw this, the only person in the movie who kept my interest was Rick Springfield. I thought the others did try their best with the script, but it was not their faults. If only the script had been a little better, I think this movie could have been a major hit.

Terrible film, terribly overacted, terrible over-used plot. Although this movie sports some well known thespians, they cannot hide how utterly terrible this film actually is. Even accounting for a low budget you cannot but flinch from the attempted suspense which soon becomes repetitive, after 30 minutes I was wishing the unseen alien would just wipe out the motley bunch in one swoop. How an actor from 'the Godfather ' could associate himself with such rubbish beats me. Do not pay to see this film!
