bowmanblue 'Alien' was a classic. It was also financially successful. Therefore, it stood to reason that a hundred other films would try to capitalise on its coattails. 'Alien' – sorry – 'Creature' is one of them. Only it's rubbish. So why did I sit through the entire ninety minutes? Probably because I was eager to see just how much worse it could rip off a superior film. And it rips Alien off quite well.Astronauts go into space (do you really care where they go or why they're there?) and meet an alien (sorry – CREATURE – I keep forgetting). It stalks them. You'll probably be able to tell who's going to die and when. That's about it. So why didn't I turn it off? Normally, I quite like films that are so-bad-they're-good. However, this isn't so much 'so-bad-it's-good' as 'so-bad-it's unbelievable-that-no-one-sued.' Seriously, it is so much like Alien it's a wonder no one called in the lawyers. I can only assume that Creature just didn't make enough money for anyone at 20th Century Fox to bother with.Actually, I quite liked the idea behind the whole story – I won't mention what it is as it's a half decent attempt to come up with some sort of original plot. But a slightly good overall idea doesn't really make it worth watching. You only really need to bother with this film if you've seen Alien and want to see how bad another film can copy it without getting sued.Also, there's a really weird bit when a creepy older man does his best to constantly sexually assault any female member of the cast and the rest of the crew just kind of let him off. Weird. And definitely creepy.A sad, carbon copy of Alien, but if you're a fan of the Ridley Scott's classic, you may find some strange enjoyment out of this. Maybe.

gavin6942 A expedition to Titan uncovers an alien being that goes on a rampage.Director William Malone is considered one of the Masters of Horror. This is open to debate, and I think we can safely say that Malone is at least on the second tier -- he is not Wes Craven or John Carpenter and is probably not known to audiences outside the world of horror. His two best-known films are probably "House on Haunted Hill" (1999) and "FeardotCom" (2002), neither of which are classics by any stretch of the imagination."Creature" was his second attempt, following the largely-unknown "Scared to Death" (1981). He utilized his extensive collection of "Forbidden Planet" props, and hired the special effects crew of "Aliens". Some see this as a ripoff of "Alien", which is not really an insult if it is a good ripoff. Today, the film sits in the public domain and to truly appreciate it, you should watch the Malone-released uncut film under the title "The Titan Find".The best part of this film? Klaus Kinski makes an appearance about thirty minutes in.

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- Creature, 1985. Two competing mining companies are fighting to get to Titan, a moon of Jupiter. The German crew arrives and finds evidence of an ancient dead civilization along with several egg-like containers. The German crew is lost and an American crew lands in the same area on Titan. The American crew finds a disaster, only to get involved in why the previous crew was all murdered without a trace.*Special Stars- Wendy Schaal, Stan Ivar, Klaus Kinski.*Theme- If your intuition tells you to be careful, you should be.*Trivia/location/goofs- Elements ripped off from previous film or genres: Alien-plot, Forbidden Planet- sets and sound effects (due to the director's prop collection). 2001-spacesuits, Japanese space movies- planetary and orbiting spacecraft file footage. In a poisonous atmosphere why are there spider Webs all over the alien spacecraft? Titan spiders? *Emotion- I was not a big fan of Alien, but it was a well produced and entertaining film. Gore and blood can't save this film. This film was an attempt to cash-in on it's popularity for only $750,000 in production costs. It shows; the actors are wooden, the film has none of the pacing, drama or tension of this genre. This film only made back $40,000 and is a Dollar DVD. With all of the sequels from Alien and all the better knock-off films, this film is a total waste of time and attention for the viewer.

MotionPictureMeltdown This movie is 97 minutes of pure terribleness. There are just really no saving factors for it. Obviously the team sets themselves up for destruction in the start as they decided to land (against the only smart cast member's orders) in a crevice where another ship has already gone silent. Even after they crash and people start dying, rather than sticking together, they run off in separate directions getting infected left and right. It's like a Benny Hill music should be playing in the background as one individual commands the next to "go to engineering" where characters keep dying one by one. The cast is terrible. Not only does pretty much every character look and speak the same, but the lead actor Klaus Kinski(in the last 5 years of his life) I believe has truly become crazy. His constant switching between German and English is hard to understand and annoying. I could make a better creature with poster tubes, some engine oil and fake teeth. The special effects are god awful, as well as the most of the props look like straight out of Dollar Tree. Every time a door opens, I hear a tie fighter shooting the place up. The little bit of gore that was in the movie wasn't horrible, but hardly makes up for the sheer ridiculousness of the creature, characters, and plot. I'd say the entire $750,000 of the budget was used on the one good head explosion the movie had. We podcasted this movie along with the 2011 Creature and recommend exactly neither of them. Stay away...stay far away....I usually will give one out of ten stars for acknowledging that yes, this is indeed a movie. I will give it a second for mediocre gore and the nostalgia of Klaus Kinski.Check us out for more movie reviews by looking up Motion Picture Meltdown on Facebook, Unitedcypher.net, or MPMPodcast on Twitter.
