Rescue spaceship manned by bickering group of specially-trained astronauts, and captained by a megalomaniac female with a spotty past history, lands on desolate planet to help out a comrade ship and become unwitting victims of their own worst fears manifested. James Cameron worked as the co-production designer and second unit director of this low-budget science-fiction crud from Roger Corman and New World Pictures, one that hopes to resemble "Alien" (but played at the wrong speed). An interesting cast including Grace Zabriskie, Robert Englund and Zalman King, find themselves at mercy of cut-rate special effects and ludicrous dialogue, although the sets and costumes are decent. Horror scenes emphasize torture...not to mention the sexual assault of a worm-hating blonde by way of a giant maggot. * from ****
