Has anybody seen this? I saw a clip of the opening and actually really liked what I saw, as cheesy as it was, the gore was spectacular, watching this alien creature emerge from somebody's face and then slowly decapitate somebody else was pretty awesome. Eyeballs falling out and the works. It's reviews are all pretty bad, though. I'd love to see what you guys think of it.

I have read so many reviews of this, seen so many pictures from it, seen sundry covers of the VHS tape and seen at least one YouTube clip of it that, as it should go without saying, I want a copy of this no matter the cost to life on earth!

The clip in question:

I saw a higher quality version of that clip, too, where you can see the eyeball coming out of the face and everything. Awesome.

I keep reading all these horrible reviews of this film online, but it only seems to heighten my curiosity, especially after seeing that clip. I have to say though, from what I've seen, it seems like a very sluggishly paced film despite that scene.

I've read a lot of angry reviews too, but most of them have come from hardcore ALIEN fans and not B-Movie aficionados.

I finally saw this infamous rip-off (thanks the tube) and I think it doesn't deserve all the bad reviews it got. Sure, effects are cheesy and the budget is nonexistent (most of the advance money were spent by the director in a sex-n-booze week in Cannes!), but the locations, the music and the last ten minutes of the movie (very "I am legend") are pretty good.

I saw it a couple of months ago and yeah, the gore was glorious indeed but aside from that it was tough to get through. The acting was atrocious and so was most of the dialogue. Oh, and I loved the fake-out ending. Haha.

I read somewhere that 20th Century Fox tried to sue the makers of this film for using the "Alien" name but supposedly the producers managed to convince a court that their film wasn't meant to be a sequel to Ridley Scott's "Alien" but to a science fiction novel from the 1930s that was also called "Alien." Wow. They must've had a one helluva slick lawyer, or a gullible jury.
