Note : Here's another Roger Corman production with production design by James Cameron, even reusing some sets from Battle Beyond the Stars. It has a lot of very nice miniature and matte effects, some cool sets in general, a largely incoherent plot, and the infamous "worm rape" scene, which really has to be seen to be believed (Corman was apparently really into monsters raping women in the 80s). It's often considered an Alien rip-off, although it's not really that similar in plot (although a few sequences do feel very similar), but it's also been credited with inspiring a lot of things in Cameron's Aliens, so, Nants ingonyama bagithi baba, I guess. Worth a watch.
A rescue mission to the planet Morganthus starts off on the wrong foot when the crew discovers they both have My Favorite Martian, Freddy Krueger, Sarah Palmer, and Captain Spalding on board, but this interesting genre mash-up is quickly put on the back burner as the gang discovers a huge pyramid-like structure on the planet, which emits a force field preventing their ship from taking off. Investigating, they are confronted with a series of monsters and strange events seemingly ripped directly from their own unconscious deepest fears, which apparently include a lot of rapist invertebrates. As they're picked off one by one, they struggle to understand what's going on, but the truth is stranger than they could have imagined.
This is a very decent looking remaster, maybe slightly more denoised than would have been ideal in some sequences, but not much to complain about. Stereo track sounds good, commentary track has worm rape victim Taaffe O'Connell and various crew, including, incredibly, our old friend David DeCoteau, who was a production assistant on this.
