AJ M So, I just caught this on YouTube last night, looking for some light entertainment in the sci-fi genre. I can't believe this was an actual theater movie. It's just bad and it was released in 1980, which is 3 years after StarWars set the bar for special effects. This movie still beholds itself to the cheesy props from the 1950s. I hope it bombed at the theaters. Don't waste your time with this one. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review justin t This was so bad. Like many other Italian low-budget horror films this one immediately suffers from terrible dubbing. Then the script is terrible too. The script seems like it was written in Italian and then translated to English by an Italian who has no idea about how English-speaking people actually talk. Tension is built by the actors doing stuff slowly which is just crap. Everything seems to be in slow-motion for no real reason. Another thing that there is no reason for is most of the actions in the story - they make no sense. There is nothing original about this film except the way that it unashamedly rips off so many other films. Many sections do feel like a bad American seventies porn film from wooden acting and awful dialog. There is no reason for anything. The American government think that they can stop the world from destruction by using a military officer, a New York cop who was at the wrong place and a drunken ex-astronaut - now that is not going to work. On the plus side it was slightly better than the very similar film - The Ogre (1988). Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Naturally, it's awful! It's an Italian knock-off of "Alien" made for a quarter of a million dollars. But, they do get as much as they can out of it, and could have gotten a lot more with more money. What you have on screen though, is fine at first, but gets repetitive VERY quickly! So, you get what you get. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm not sure if it's meant to be, not sure I even care, but this film is hilarious. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member It's an absurd, trippy, dreamlike schlockfest. An overall pretty dumb, cheap, slow moving Alien knockoff. Despite all the warts, it's a charming b-flick with a hypnotic soundtrack, some crazy action and lots of gooey gore. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/20 Full Review bill t A bit of a silly foreign combo of Alien and the Thing. Mysterious alien eggs start appearing on earth, and a lady cop and a former astronaut need to figure out who or what is behind this before Its Too Late. Good special effects, but the dubbing is cruddy and the action sporadic. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
