Summary: Unwitting space travellers stumble upon a planet
infested with parasitic monsters from another dimension. Will
they escape the mind-snatching powers of these evil life-forms?
Commentary:
Dialogue: English translation of an already lacking Italian
script. Full of woodenly delivered forgettable lines.
Vampires:Traditional or Not? NOT. Not one drop of blood
is sucked in this movie. These "vampires" are actually
"Night of the Living Dead" extras in black vinyl spacesuits.
Vampires: Physical Appeal: Soft-looking Italians poured
into vinyl jumpsuits, with hair that withstands crash-landings,
beatings, death and burial in extremely hot space soil. Your
heart won't skip any beats.
Gore Factor: Minimal, by today's standards. A burned
face surely indicates posthumous alien possession. However, the
biggest mystery of the movie is the travellers' causes of death.
Scariness/Suspense: A few white-knuckle moments break
the monotony of endless planet exploration.
Target Audience: Definitely MST3K material.
