Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?


« on: May 29, 2005, 05:16:26 AM »

I was hoping someone could help me out with the title of a movie I saw on a local UPN affiliate some time back in the late '90s. I think it may have been a Sci Fi Channel original, but I'm not sure because I haven't had cable since '85.

It's about a group of people working on an oil rig somewhere in the arctic. One day the drill hits something hard and explodes, injuring some of the workers. Then the oil well splatters everyone with Vaseline, which causes the injured workers to heal instantly.
While everyone's trying to figure out what this miracle goo is, this stereotypical superstitious mexican guy says that they've opened a gateway to hell, and he steals a box of dynamite to close up the well. However, when he goes to plant the charges, he gets killed by a seven foot tall monster that looks like a rip off of the Alien.
In typical fashion, the monster starts picking off the crew one by one.
The survivors find out that the hard object that caused the drill to explode is an alien spaceship that's been buried for a billion years. While trying to escape, they discover that the monster hasn't been killing the crew, but has been putting them in a coma so it can perform medical experiments on them. At this point, they manage to steal the monster's laptop, where they discover that it created the human race in hopes of resurfacing around the cro-magnon era to harvest humans for food.
The monster then sets up some kind of antenna to send a distress signal back to it's homeworld. The survivors steal it and use it to lure the monster into a trap.

Not a very original movie. The references to Alien and The Intruder Within are very apparent, and the sets are pretty flimsy looking, but it's been bugging me for a couple of years.
Any help would be appreciated.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
