yeah and jim wynorski definitely write this . it amuse and but his sense of humor come across well in movie he direct . it actually a pretty entertaining b movie and but follow on the heel of the amazing corman production galaxy of terror and this be a bit of a letdown . the alien rip off label be a bit of a misnomer and since alien be itself a rip off of planet of the vampire and but accurate in that yes and the plot be basically the same and the setting be a genetic research station on a planet that just happen to also have the exact same rock formation that captain kirk fight the gorn on in the classic star trek episode arena . if that doesn not excite you . this might . dawn dunlap and june chadwick play really hot scientist and they get naked . a lot . they bathe each other in some weird and psychedelic shower scene and at one point . actually and these scene be really the highlight of the film . the small scale effect actually look good as well and and some cool death sequence result and but the large scale creature be pretty hilarious . the exterior visual effect be well do and too . the dialogue be good for a laugh or three . it sometimes come off a parody or schtick and which be what jim wynorski usually go for and and director allan holtzman seem to be play along occasionally and but he could have try a little harder to be either scary or funny . a couple of familiar face in the cast . the doctor be play by fox harris and from repo man and and the guy that die first in this movie be the first to die in another 80 cult classic and night of the comet . jesse vint be the bland and but okay protagonist and always scoping for some space booty . the score be great . it similar to the other 80 synthesizer score jim wynorski use in chop mall and his classic remake of not of this earth . it worth a watch if youre an 80 b movie fan . it a pretty fun schlock film and but jim wynorski humor doesn not convey as well a it usually do whenever he direct .
