Halloween White Elephant: Galaxy of Terror (1981)
Posted by: John Gholson
From Jacob Hall–“This is one wacky movie. I’m not sure if it’s a good movie, but man, seeing this with a packed audience in a real movie theater was one hell of an experience. This movie is like bad dream: incomprehensible, driven by ludicrous jumps in logic and sanity instead of story and filled to the brim with alien worm rape. It also features Sid Haig as a man who really, really loves his knives, so there’s no way it can be all bad.”
Galaxy of Terror felt like a punishment. What did I do? Maybe this was because I liked the recent remake/prequel of The Thing (it’s not great, but I didn’t hate it). Surely, if I liked one cheap, crappy cash-in, I’d like another?
