There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
I bought 3 movies recently in a pack, horror planet, galaxy of terror and creature.To be quit honest horror planet is not as good as galaxy of terror and creature but it does not deserve the very low rating it is getting.There are so pretty cool gory effect in the movie, the acting is not that bad and you have a few good actors in there too.The special effects are what you would expect from a 80 sci fi horror movie nothing to compare with alien but still not that bad either.This movie deserves a higher rating at least a 6 not a 3.4 like it as right now.
Exploitation director Norman J. Warren turned his sights away from his more traditional settings, usually remote houses in the countryside, to concentrate on a barren and murky alien planet where hideous things lurked in the shadows. Unfortunately his film actually used the Chislehurst Caves as a setting, cheap perhaps but not entirely convincing. This low-budget ALIEN derivative is definitely worth a watch for those who can take Warren's trademark violence and unpleasantness, but the potential is wasted in favour of too much running about in the dark.The plot starts off well, culminating in a monstrous and deeply unpleasant alien rape sequence, but it all goes downhill from there. The writers didn't seem to know how to carry the premise through and squandered it in favour of having their cast be picked off one by one after obeying the typical conventions of the slasher film, i.e. acting extremely stupidly by splitting up and running down a gloomy corridor. Much of the film, after the initial set up, is merely a series of violent murders, each one different from the last to give some variety. The gore content is high, with a woman being stabbed with a pair of scissors (an image Warren seems rather fond of), somebody sawing their own foot off when it gets jammed, and even some cannibal scenes where stomachs are torn open and intestines torn out.The acting is generally amateurish, with the smaller roles performed by unfamiliar faces who are adequate at delivering their lines but offer no personality or realism to their characters. Robin Clarke, as the hero, gives a rather stilted delivery, but I quite liked him. Stephanie Beacham, nearly a decade on from Dracula AD 1972, has a good role as a tough female crew member but even she is relegated to running around and hanging on the hero's arm at the end of the film. The best performance, though, comes from Judy Geeson, who is excellent as the woman possessed by an alien force and who will stop at nothing to care for her alien offspring. The torment she suffers as she's torn between her human and alien sides is excellent, Natasha Henstridge could have used her as inspiration for her role in SPECIES but sadly didn't. Geeson manages to be sympathetic, and gives a chilling portrayal of evil and madness.Unfortunately the alien creature itself is far too rubbery to be effective. It reminded me of the title design in THE FLY, and quite probably served as an inspiration for it. The alien babies are okay and thankfully only used briefly, so that we don't get time to see how they work. There are some nice low budget explosions and action to keep things moving along, but in the end it all comes down to the fact that we've seen it all before, and this offers little in the way of fresh or new ideas. It's just people running about and being murdered, yet again. INSEMINOID is by no means a particularly bad film, but it's just not particularly good either.
Another blatant cash-in/knock-off/rip-off of Ridley Scott's Alien, Norman J. Warren's low-budget sci-fi/horror Inseminoid is an absolutely dire viewing experience from start to finish, cheap and nasty to look at, poorly directed, and devoid of any originality, atmosphere, tension or excitement whatsoever.Shot in and around Chislehurst Caves, which are made to look like an alien environment through the 'clever' use of coloured filters and a smoke machine, this cheap, exploitative piece of crap sees a group of interplanetary boffins (including past-their-prime Hammer babes Stephanie Beacham and Judy Geeson, and future star Victoria Tennant) discover a malevolent extraterrestrial buried in a tomb. The creature infects a member of the team, turning him into a raging maniac, before raping Geeson's character, sending her into a non-stop fit of violent hysterics for the rest of the film (I found Geeson's performance virtually unbearable; I cheered when she got strangled).Visual effects are primitive (think 'Blakes 7' and you won't go far wrong), there is some rather basic gore which is unlikely to impress, and only Geeson gets her baps out (Stephanie's would have been better), but praise must go to the set, prop, and costume designers, without whose sterling work I wouldn't have laughed so hard: the movie's high-tech space base is constructed from plywood, vacuum formed plastic (decorated with naff futuristic stencil graphics), and assorted plastic crates; the deep space exploration team come equipped with a set of hedge trimmers (!?!?); and space-wear consists of a choice of silver or gold jumpsuit teamed with either a firefighter's mask or motorcycle helmet, and a length of vacuum cleaner hose attached to supply oxygen.
Man, this deliciously vicious early 80's British low-budget "ALIEN" rip-off can't seem to buy a positive comment. Well, luckily I'm here to post the token "where's this fool's head at?" odd man out favorable review for this enjoyably rough'n'nasty sci-fi/horror nugget. This extremely crude (and hence pretty smoking in my severely misguided book) dreck epic par excellence arguably boasts the single most brazen and absurd premise imaginable: Judy Geeson (yes, the same exact Judy Geeson of "To Sir With Love" fame) delivers a bang-up performance in the very thankless part of a luckless arid desert planet explorer who gets raped and impregnated by a foul extraterrestrial monster, which in turn causes her to go utterly bonkers and savagely butcher her fellow researchers. Geeson blows one guy's stomach open with a bulky laser gun, slices up future Steve Martin better half Victoria Tennant with a pair of scissors and snacks on a shrieking Jennifer Ashley, taking time out in between committing these ghastly murders to give painful birth to two slimy and ugly lethal humanoid alien babies in a sickening sequence that's absolutely appalling to behold (naturally, it's one of my favorite moments in the film). Directed with a laudable lack of taste and restraint by Norman J. Warren, with a quick, steady pace, a suitably bleak tone, some pleasingly barbed dialogue ("That would look great on the report," one beleaguered astronaut caustically remarks, "the team terrorized by an expectant mother"), an unusually strong cast, plenty of unflinching in-your-face graphic splatter, and a way funky score by John Scott, "Inseminoid" rates highly as first-rate unapologetic down'n'dirty trash that's not to be missed by hardcore connoisseurs of low-grade sleazy cinema.
