What do you guys think of the Alien rip off movies, such as Galaxy of Terrorand

Last year was the first time I had heard of Galaxy of Terror, which I thought strange, cause I have always been an Aliens nut. I first saw a clip on You Tube which was this woman getting her cloths sucked off by a giant alien worm. But I didn't know what it was. Then, one day, I was buying some herbal ingredients and I asked the Gate Keeper if there was any cool interesting movies I could watch and of course it was GoT! I later got a download and watched it...I immediately recognize the Alien in the landscape in the beginning with the crashed spaceships! I was tripping that this movie was Prometheus done in an 80's style... like Retro-activated that's what happens when you think you've watched too much T.V. like 8 hours a day but you've only just begun when, really, you've just been sucked into the T.V. by your eyeball t.v.'s and your actually living in a tube. Stored as food for the aliens evil desires of watching us like T.V. But that might have a twilight zone episode flash back from all the kryptonite melting my brain. The thing is there are some pretty gruesome scenes but they are so plastic that you can manage the terror. Of course Prometheus will not be plastic ; )

For me I love those old B scifi movies. They are corny but back in the day they kept you on the edge of you seat.

Galaxy of Terror aired sometime last year on "TCM's Underground" i had never seen it, and was chuckling thru most of it there is an Australian sci-fi horror film that aired way back in the early 1980's on "Elvira's Movie Macabre", i caught the last 10 minutes of the film, it seemed that it was set in either contemporary Australia (or New Zealand..?) the end creature looked like a H U G E dirty uncircumcised penis (literally) and it would devour it's victims whole. really convincing in the "creepy" depo i vaguely recall the film, but i know the final shot was an egg that was birthed out from the creature as it was killed, and the egg was basically a GREAT looking replica of the eggs in the derelict in ALIEN. it looked like they used gelatin to make the egg look organic, and from what i recall, the effect was superb the egg was left in the sidewalk near a street gutter, the final shot gave the impression it would turn into another one of the horrid looking creatures as i described above i have yet to run across ANY clips of that film on Youtube, i do wish i could find out the name of that film, it's been well over 30 years ah well...

Galaxy of terror is very bizarre and interesting. The monsters are very grotesque, but in turn are the result of the own fears of the characters that by projecting them end up personify them with an evil force (in my view converges with the premise of event horizon). Another important aspect is the idea of higher entities that somehow play a kind of chess game with mere mortals. In reference to this I wonder if the Space Jockeys or Engineers are sadists and torturers, gods in style with the cenobites hellraiser (angels for some; demons to others) who get pleasure torturing the participants of the game. Forbidden world seems a cheap imitation of Allen, and there are concepts such as the protoformas which leads me to think that many of the false plots made by fans have been inspired by this premise. However you can see the mutant factor in the storyline, and I believe in Prometheus also, apparently there a little of that in the trailer. Best regards

I always liked "Creature" by William Malone - what a goofy movie that was.

the only good thing of galaxy of terror is the nude woman with the giant worm :p and since it dont pretend to be serious its ok ( and quite exciting too :p )
