Creature: Review

An American expedition led by corporate lackey Lyman Ward travels to Titan, one of Saturn's moons, to learn what has become of the spaceship that was sent there previously. The American corporation is competing with a German firm for the mining rights to the moon, and they are aware that a German ship is also on the surface. After the Americans land on Titan, their exploration of the first ship and of the German ship yields several dead bodies and one ALIEN-like monster that snatches one of the female crew members. CREATURE is a strange hybrid of science-fiction films. The sets and creature are ripped off from ALIEN, the space suits resemble the ones from 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, and the dead returning to life is from PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES. The film does have some effective moments, and the performers are competent, if undistinguised. Though it earns a zero on the originality scale, CREATURE packs enough of a wallop to save it from being a total washout. leave a comment
