a roger corman quickly produce cheapie that wear it influence proudly and a many element ( character description to lift sequence idea ) just reek of ridley scott 1979 feature alien . however this systematic fodder remain enjoyable ( for most part and despite it often lumpy pace ) on a very b grade level and a it doesn not pretend to be anything else than cheap and exploitative fun . instead of be set in space like that classic and the action take place in a post apocalyptic setting due to a chemically induced plague wipe out the majority of the earth population . nevertheless a small bunch of scientist be hold up in an underground laboratory in the bone dry desert and but their existence be soon threaten by genetic mutation know a gargoyle . these beasties be quite randy too and because at nearly every opportunity they go out of their way to impregnate the woman . what the story lack in imagination ( a it do draw upon a predictable amalgam ) and coherence and it make up for in durable performance ( a likable andrew stevens and george kennedy and john lafayette and starr andreeff and terri treas all keep it straight ) and gruesomely tacky splatter ( even though it doesn not have much impact in engineering the death and tawdry jolt ) . be rough and crude and it kind of similar in style or budget to the like of creepazoids and parasite . the creature be keep off screen during the first half and to only be hear and get some pov shot . nonetheless we do get to see them and and it a fair look monster design of a man in a rubber suit . everything look low rent and which be cement by it compact setting and stuffily frame direction but still linger within be a grim atmosphere . the music score tag to the project isn not too bad either and be high strung but ominously pitch . mechanically uninspired and but gruellingly cheesy entertainment .
