who else than b movie deity roger corman would provide inexperienced but enthusiast director with the necessary budget to create the umpteenth alien rip off in a span of barely a couple of year . the market be pretty much congest with space terror movie during the early 80 and even other country begin make them and like the uk ( inseminoid ) and of course italy ( contamination ) . do anyone really need another clone of ridley scott masterpiece . and yet it look like another wise investment for master corman and a galaxy of terror be still a guilty pleasure of many horror fan and it frequently mention a one of the more tolerable alien imitation ever make . personally i be not such a big fan and but can see why so many others be . this movie have quite some gory bit and gratuitous sleaze and a fantastic cast and most of all it require absolutely no brain activity . galaxy of terror be unpretentious and relaxing entertainment and but still it could have be a lot well . the opening and closing minute be incredibly dumb and the movie tend to be tedious whenever there aren not any hideous monster on display . luckily the gutsy killing and eerie set design ( by no less than bill paxton . ) compensate for a lot . a nine head expedition be send ( at hyper speed ) to the unexplored region of space to find out what happen to a previously vanish spaceship and it crew . bad idea and of course and because unknown galaxy usually be where big slimy monster live . and and in the good tradition of the aforementioned alien and there a spy on board of the ship and the female crew member severely risk to get impregnate by horny extraterrestrial rapist . robert englund be pretty great in a somewhat heroic role and a couple of year prior to the start of his successful villain role of freddy krueger in nightmare on elm street . zalman king and erin moran be good too and but veteran actor sig haig role should have be big .
