31-Day Horror Challenge Day Nineteen: Galaxy of Terror



In 1979, Ridley Scott's Alien paved the way for horror/sci-fi films to come.  After 1979, thousands of Alien knock-offs made their way to cinemas.  Galaxy of Terror is one of those.  An awful, yet somehow enjoyable, movie.  Either way, I think it'd be best to just watch Alien instead.

The crew of a rescue ship stumble upon a strange pyramid form.  As they go out to explore, one by one, all of their worst fears come true.  They begin to realize that the strange formation must be behind it all.

Cheesy lines, laughable acting, mis-direction, odd writing and actually good special effects are all over the place here.  It is, however, awesome to see such a young Sid Haig and Robert Englund.  Whether you decide to watch this one or not, I don't think it really matters.
