5/10
This is only worth your time if you're a huge Englund and/or Haig fan
18 May 2021
I came across this Robert Englund and Sid Haig classic on HBOMax last week. Galaxy of Terror tells the tale of a spaceship that finds a vessel with a missing crew that they investigate hoping to find survivors but instead they find alien creatures that begin the process of killing everyone on their ship. This movie also stars Erin Moran (Happy Days), Ray Walston (The Stand) and Edward Albert (Power Rangers) and is directed by Bruce Clark (Ski Bum and The Hammer). This movie definitely had the feel like it was trying to capitalize on the success of Alien which had come out 2 years before this picture. The special effects and action sequences are far from the quality of the Alien films and are a bit corny. The movie has more of a 70s science fiction feel even if this was released in 1981. Overall this is a average to below average addition to the science fiction genre that is only worth your time if you're a huge Englund and/or Haig fan. I'd give this a 5/10.
