Back in 1989, sci-fi/horror director Antonio Marghreti was near his final ends of his career as a diretor (known under his Americanized credit name as 'Anthony M. Dawson'). One film which has been considered to be Marghareti's most entertaining feature, right next to CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE (1980; U.S. Title: INVASION OF THE FLESH HUNTERS), is ALIEN FROM THE DEEP.
Produced by Franco Gaudenza, responsible for ZOMBI 3 (1988) and AFTER DEATH (1989) for those who are counting, ALIEN FROM THE DEEP tells a tale about a toxic waste facility on a tropical island dumping radioactive materials in a nearby volcano (not a bad place to dump the stuff). A nosy reporter and a snake-hunter are already spying on the place. But then, a large alien spacecraft crashes in the ocean. Soon, strange tentacle's begin popping up out of the ground and release a deadly toxin that mutates some of the scientists at the facility and become raving mad. Then, the alien reveals itself to be a giant and attacks the facility. Add Charles Napier as the evil commander dumping the toxic waste in the volcano, and you got some wacky stuff going on here.
Now I haven't seen the film and the plot synopsis was taken from various sources, but I am thinking about picking this baby up from my local bootlegger and I want to know if anybody has seen this film at all? And if so, is it worth watching or not?
No, but that plot description sure as hell makes me want to see it!
I-tie Sci-Fi, C. Napier,rampageing giant aliens with zomboid scientest wandering around while a volcano brews.....I'd see that film at 11:00!
