Forget the story, 'cause there isn't one, but see it for the gory bits and marvellous gutsy make-up. Yech!
If Corman productions are lacking originality, ideas and expertise, they are at
least devoted to the proposition that the attention span of the modern
audience is shorter than the time it takes to soft boil an egg, and they
are paced accordingly. Galaxy of Terror is one of the few films in
existence that actually moves faster than its trailer. [26 Apr 1982]
The plot synopsis bears may a suspicious resemblance to "Alien." [6 Nov 1981, p.23]
What this ill-fated journey is all about are never rationally explained, but then it seems most of the little thought in Galaxy of Terror was put into the special defects, which include a crewmember whose head and tummy snap, crackle and pop; an arm that gets cut off and still manages to spite itself; and a tiny worm that grows and rapes a comely crew member to death. [12 Nov 1981, p.C17]
A rip-off of ALIEN (1979), this Roger Corman production has plenty of gore and a mindless storyline. A group of astronauts are sent to rescue a stranded spaceship. One is raped by a giant worm, another blows up, and a third cuts off his own arm. The special effects are excellent.
