By name alone, I had to see this movie. It combines two different genres, science fiction and horror. What's not to like?
The opening credits killed any reason to like this movie. This was an American-Italian collaboration. Actually most of the crew was Italian and the movie was based on a short story by an Italian author.
It starred Barry Sullivan as a captain of a doomed ship, but the other actors I didn't recognize. They could have been foreign actors. I got distracted from the movie because I kept watching their lips to see if they matched the dialogue. Yep, that happened.
The plot was crazy. The ship malfunctions and landed on a desolate planet full of foam rocks and fog machines. The crew is killed one by one as they are attacked by flashing, fast moving lights. After each is buried in a plastic bag, he or she comes back alive as the undead. The captain and his beautiful first mate are the only ones to realize that there is something going on.
This was a movie kept my interest. The acting, the costumes, and the special effects were just enough for me to do that. I kept thinking that what I was seeing was going to change, but that is the definition of insanity. Right?
