Review by marshmannes

This is an odd low budget Aliens and there is no relation to the indescribable original. It definitely rips off of that film with no ways working around it. There are actually things that help it unlike what some people have reviewed. The cinematography is well done for a film on such a low budget and the crew seemed to know how to get the job done in this respect. The acting is hit and miss on this film. The supporting cast does alright given the mediocre script, although the lead (Jan-Michael Vincent) does not seem know how to make a good lead, but from what I heard he did not work well with the crew and HB Davenport did not like him. From seeing Vincent in this film, I can see why Davenport had issues. Score is alright for what it is and at least fits the setting. Special effects work on a 1990 B-movie scale. At least there is no bad CGI in this movie. If you are looking for some B-movie cheese along with a few unintentional laughs Xtro 2 might be an interesting film to check out just for the good camera-work. There are far better films than this, but you can do much worse.

5/10 R - Strong Violence and Language
