Comments: Galaxy of Terror is a Roger Corman produced riff on Alien, which was released just two years prior. Galaxy has a pretty solid following, but I just couldn't get into it. I really had no idea what the fuck was going on at times, and although everything's explained more toward the end, it still felt like giant chunks of the film were missing. On the bright side, the film did feature Sid Haig and Robert Englund (along with production design by James Cameron... yes, that James Cameron), plus we got to see a woman sexed to death by a giant space worm, which is never a bad thing in my book. The Netflix print of the film was a fucking terrible full screen version, so that certainly didn't help things either. Where's the Blu-ray version at? Anyway, while Galaxy of Terror wasn't very good, it was at least fun to watch. And just like attractive women being raped by space worms, that's not the worst thing in the world.
