Galaxy of Terror

source: Galaxy of Terror

The only reason I gave this a "1" is that I couldn't give it a zero. Gross, pointless, cheap... there is no socially or otherwise redeeming quality possessed by this movie. It has possibly been a waste of my time even to comment...

OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR!!! I have seen bad movies, and some *really* bad movies, but this rather dated looking thing tops my list of 'worst movies ever'! This one *has* to be dubbed 'To Insult the Intelligence of All Who Dare Watcheth!' Un original but vaguely interesting 'imagined fears comes true' plot line. Amusingly cheesy puppet-operated monsters looked more fake than paper mache animals made by an art class of talented 10 year olds. So-called gory effects were cheap and forgettable. Acting talent by the cast was non existent. The whole thing was riddled with gaping holes and cliches. And, in some desperate attempt to wake up the (now) sleeping audience who have been subjected to one Alien rip off scene after another... check out the giant maggot raping and sliming and killing the blonde chick. Jaw dropped with disbelief at this completely stupid and repulsive scene! CONCLUSION? Maggots? NO! Caterpillars? NOOOO!!! Slugs? Get them away from me!!! Avoid this movie if you savior your sanity....

Normally, I don't like giving a movie the lowest possible grade (1/10), but when you face something as incredibly boring as "Galaxy of Terror", what can you do? This is a senseless, incoherent, stupid movie, filled with absolutely soulless characters. Five minutes after it's over you won't remember anything about it.

The crew members of the Quest (Edward Albert, Erin Moran, Ray Walston, Robert Englund, Zalman King, Taffee O'Connell, Grace Zabriskie, Sid Haig, Bernard Behrens and Jack Blessing) are sent to a rescue mission on the barren planet Morganthus hoping to find the missing crew members of a previous mission. But their innermost fears on that planet comes alive to attack on their weakness. They must come face to face with their darkest fears or they will die. Directed by Bruce D. Clark (Hammer, Naked Angels, The Ski Bum) made an entertaining, trashy, science-fiction horror film in the wake of "Alien". But the premise tries to do something different, the movie actually has something to say about fear. Produced by Roger Corman (Bloody Mama, The Intruder, The Little Shop of Horrors), he produced this movie on a budget of $700,000! Although the movie seemed to cost more than that. Imaginative designed by Three-Time Oscar Winner:James Cameron (Terminator 1 & 2, Avatar, True Lies) and Two-Time Oscar-Winner:Robert Skotak (Aliens, House on Haunted Hill "Remake", Titanic). Which oddly enough, the look of the movie does look like "James Cameron's Aliens" at times! The Blu-ray has an sharp if occasionally grainy 1080P anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an good PCM 2.0 mono sound. The Blu-ray also includes an informative and humorous commentary track by David DeCoteau, Robert Skotak, Alec Gillis and Taaffe O'Connell. The Blu-ray also includes an entertaining documentary of the movie with the new interviews by the cast & filmmakers, Photo Gallery and more. "Galaxy of Terror" is occasionally silly and flawed in places but it is entertaining and the movie doesn't waste time to get the thrills. The film is infamous for the giant maggot-rape sequence! Also the picture could have used some fleshing out for the characters, especially the supporting characters like Walston and Zabriskie. As a fan of B Movies, this is worth checking out.

When i saw the trailer for galaxy of terror i knew it was going to be good,as a roger Corman produced b-movie it is a wild ride.sort of like alien on a lower budget.it stars Eddie Albert Jr.zalman king,Sid haig, ray walston(my favorite martian)Robert englund(nightmare on elm street) Erin Moran(Joanie on TV's happy days)and grace zabriskie(twin peaks) its bizarre science fiction horror about a group of space travelers on a rescue mission encountering terrors of all sorts,a women is raped by a giant worm,now thats bizarre.James Cameron was involved in the production.critics bashed this and it was one of the movies on the DVD 50 worst movies of all time,sorry i don't agree.its the best of the alien rip offs.7 out of 10

Most video stores should have a special section titled "Movies That Suck." This sorry "Alien"-ripoff belongs in that particular category. This pile of alien excrement has everything that you'd expect from a cheesy sci-fi movie: bad acting, cheap and repulsive special effects, and lousy script. It even has an obligatory rape scene between a blond chick and a caterpillar-like(?) creature. Yuck, yuck, yuck. If there's ever a movie that James Cameron ("The Terminator," and "Titanic") would like to forget that he contributed to, it would most likely be this one. Erin Moran had no business starring in this trash. My evaluation: (no stars).

its just a good thing that i really cant remember too much about this movie.. i think it was in 3-D... but i do remember how silly it was.. and having Edward Albert and Erin Moran starring in it?? neither of them were suited to play in a Sci-Fi movie.. its just too bad they didnt destroy all the copies, im not sure if its even on video.. and if it was No way would i rent something as stupid as this movie is... I DONT recommend this movie to anyone.. if you fear for your sanity... dont watch it ..

I loved this film. It's got all the things you could ever want to see in a B-film -- fairly good actors chewing scenery, convoluted but interesting plot, some violence, a fast pace, and the strangest scene of all time! If you can find it, you should definitely check it out.

A spacecraft travels to a distant planet to rescue the crew of another space ship that has crashed. The craft has damages in the landing and needs to be repaired. Baelon (Zalman King) commands the rescue team formed by his rival Cabren (Edward Albert), Alluma (Erin Moran), Dameia (Taaffe O'Connell), Quuhod (Sid Haig) and the rookie Cos (Jack Blessing). While looking for survivors from the former expedition, Cos is murdered and they do not find any survivor. However they cannot depart from the planet due to an electromagnetic field. Commander Ilvar (Bernard Behrens) joins the team to search for the cause of the interference in the spacecraft. Captain Trantor (Grace Zabriskie) stays in the craft with the technician Ranger (Robert Englund) and the cook Kore (Ray Walston) but soon one by one of the rescue team members is killed in weird situations, created by the materialization of their own fears. "Galaxy of Terror" is a great sci-fi B movie with a story with good premise, although having many clichés of the genre. The menaces of the planet are nothing but the fruit of the imagination of each person, projecting their inner fear. Further, this movie has probably one of the most erotic scenes I have ever seen. Dameia, the character played by the sexy Taaffe O'Connell, has a great fear of maggots, being a kind of "worm-phobic" person. When she meets the huge maggot, she starts screaming for help, while the creature with many legs rips her clothes off and rapes her. Her naked body is covered and lubricated by slime, and her initial panic becomes into a very intense multiple orgasms. Other good attractions are the names of James Cameron (as unit director in the bottom of the credits), the later soft * director Zalman King ('Wild Orchid') and Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund in the cast. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): "Galáxia do Terror" ("Galaxy of Terror") Note: On 18 October 2014, I saw this movie again. Note: On 18 March 2018 , I saw this film again on DVD.
