@ThomasLongBottom @Che_Donkey A ton of low-budget flicks seem to get released under multiple names.

@MisterBigFart Watched this one today, phenomenal. I think my favorite part is when they show photos of murder victims, but you can see they're just headshots of some women. Probably actors who auditioned for the film.
@MisterBigFart This is one of those movies where I read the title and immediately go watch it. It's told me everything I could possibly want to know about the film.
@Outtatime @LaurenceWolse I completely agree. The Illuminatus! ripoff aquatic Nazi zombie premise is really the only knock on an otherwise competently made flick that succeeds on its own terms. I thought the part where the marooned heroes are drawn to the record player was a dang fine moment.
@Anorack This movie was wild, feels like the first ten minutes got bolted on after production ended because the film didn't come out long enough.
@Anorack So yes, this is a cash grab piggybacking off Alien (and maybe a bit of Battlestar Galactica), but IMO it's a pretty respectable pulp sci-fi film that transcends its limitations and is enjoyable on its own terms. Sid Haig turns in a respectable performance, Ray Walston is terrific, and the ending is pretty great.
Also, James Cameron (yes, THAT James Cameron) was production designer and second unit director.
And: what an amazing poster.
