TERRARIUM is an indie-budget science fiction thriller that was shot in somebody's back yard, so you get an idea of just how cheap it really. The story has a bunch of astronauts crash-landing their spacecraft on an alien planet, where they're trapped and attacked by an alien with glowing red eyes. This single location outing contains laughable production values, cardboard sets, and actors who never have a chance. It's painfully slow to boot, and really has to be seen to be believed.

terrariumthemovie.com Starring: Timothy S. Daley Written and Directed by : Mike Conway Okay this film freaked me out. I have claustrophobia and a fear of the dark... The monster was done well,The creepy keepers were well thought out. I saw the extras ,And like everyone else who ever desired owning the Batmobile or Oscar Meyer Weiner wagon ...I wanted that ship and TO FIND OUT it was destroyed makes this fan-boy cry ! The set was something, really something and done to its best angles, Can't imagine what place those actors went to bring the fear that is so apparent. Mike Conway has lots more movies up his sleeve and we cant wait.

you would swear this movie was made in the late 70s for a million dollar budget. Instead it was made a couple years ago for 25k in some dudes back yard. Kudos to him. I LOVED ITThe captain is way more hilarious than captain t Kirk the aliens look like they were straight from the trekkies 60 universethe ship was so flimsy though, you wonder how it survived the impact, and it didn't even look at that beat up. But these are technical details.I really wonder what kind of colony they would be able to make with only a couple of chicks, but again... detailswhats fun is the fighting with the giant gorilla and the 80s banter between the cosmonauts. go buy it today!

Don't watch this with the expectation of incredible special effect bonanza. It's not that kind of movie.This is low budget, like El Mariachi and Clerks kind of low budget. But like those movies, what Mike Conway has made is pretty impressive, considering he built the spaceship in his backyard (check out the special features on the dvd).So as long as those are your expectation, you're sure to enjoy this movie. While not a comedy, the captain has some hilarious one liners. The story is pretty good, but early on in the movie, when the colonists are trapped, you might need to open a window to get some fresh air, as you begin to feel boxed in yourself.
