Two Sci-Fi movies back to back.
Dark Star
Enjoyed John Carpenter's very first feature film.
His talent shows here from the start.
Great cheesy space adventure.
The low budget version of 2001: Space Odyssey.
This gets credit for two things:
the music and the weirdest alien I've seen in cinema history.
I mean, this alien was a like a big inflatable balloon.
The story was somewhat funny and
the actors were great for this kind of film.
Favorite part: Pinback shoots the alien and it deflates.
Funny!
A must see and a must have for the Grindhouse section.
Contamination
Kudos for the effects and gore.
But, this didn't entertained me as much as the first movie.
They say this is like a rip-off to the movie, Alien.
It felt a little bit like Zombi 2 but with alien eggs instead of zombies.
The main actor here comes out in Zombi 2.
I like the sounds the aliens make here.
They sound kinda like a sound of a horn coming from a boat.
Straightforward dialogue.
I do love these alien infected people exploding.
Alright to see but not worthy of buying even for the Alien section.
Maybe if it's under five bucks.
