Once again Mars appears to need women. Once again the aliens are inflicting themselves on the blonde-haired, blue-eyed female college students of Earth. Once again someone managed to get a budget for a dull miasma of poor script, bad acting, and pathetic effects. Honestly, I’m willing to bet that the opening credits cost more than the whole rest of the film, particularly because most of the production appears to have been shot in abandoned sewers, basements and steam tunnels. Further, most of the minimal content this film does boast appears to have been pilfered from other movies. The monster itself in particular bears so close a resemblance to the alien from Alien that H.R. Gieger should have sued. If he didn’t, I can only assume that his lawyers figured film-makers who create something this dreadful are highly unlikely to be worth much when it comes time to pay the judgment. Wish I’d skipped it
