Jack Oct 13 Very cheesy b-movie that’s plenty entertaining, it’s no Alien but itll do See more Joaquin U @Joaquin1 Jun 2 Entertaining but lacking. It should’ve been in the pantheon of ’80s campy, over‑the‑top horror/sci‑fi flicks, with a long franchise and piles of toy collectibles as legacy. Yet… subpar casting, mediocre script, and you’d think Hooper could do much better—much. I only wish Patrick Stewart had been given a bigger role; maybe then the film wouldn’t be so forgettable. As it stands, it lives on mostly in the memory of every guy who was a teenager back then, thanks to Mathilda May and the generosity of all involved... Bless them.

Yes, there is a healthy amount of nudity, but it’s not used in a deviant or perverse way. I found that the story, while being a bit campy and uneven at times, was certainly original. It’s just so… different and interesting. Mathilda May, the primary lead ‘space vampire’ is captivating, not because she’s nude in almost the entire film, but because she plays a sympathetic character. She’s both a beautifully mesmerizing and deadly predator, but isn’t malicious or malevolent. The effects are pretty good overall, especially with John Dykstra (of Star Wars fame) at the helm. Overall a good movie. Weird? Yes, but worth a watch. See more Charles P @RT36323923 Jan 3 Rampantly insane and as unhinged as your bipolar grammy off'er meds and on the Jack Daniels, this one is too weird not to be something of a good time. If a director can chew scenery, Hooper goes after it like Bruce the shark from 'Jaws' here, with an admirably enthusiastic (if at times confused-looking) Steve Railsback and Peter Firth making for some of the most head scratching heroes of 1980s cinema - but within its own context, like a jalapeno margarita, it somehow works. And, as the author of the original (and rather different) novel is supposed to have quipped: "At least there's lots of full frontal nudity!" And yeah, it's actually better than 'Buckaroo Bonzai' :) See more Anthony C @2n10z Dec 18 Look, it sucks. Unlovable heroe(s), unclear plot, and the whole space vampire thing was much better done in the Buck Rogers TV series about 4-5 years prior. BUT … do you want to re-live your wasted Saturday afternoons? Do you enjoy lots of screaming? Me too. You’ll love it then. See more Read all reviews
