kaefab I bought 3 movies recently in a pack, horror planet, galaxy of terror and creature.To be quit honest horror planet is not as good as galaxy of terror and creature but it does not deserve the very low rating it is getting.There are so pretty cool gory effect in the movie, the acting is not that bad and you have a few good actors in there too.The special effects are what you would expect from a 80 sci fi horror movie nothing to compare with alien but still not that bad either.This movie deserves a higher rating at least a 6 not a 3.4 like it as right now.

Leofwine_draca Exploitation director Norman J. Warren turned his sights away from his more traditional settings, usually remote houses in the countryside, to concentrate on a barren and murky alien planet where hideous things lurked in the shadows. Unfortunately his film actually used the Chislehurst Caves as a setting, cheap perhaps but not entirely convincing. This low-budget ALIEN derivative is definitely worth a watch for those who can take Warren's trademark violence and unpleasantness, but the potential is wasted in favour of too much running about in the dark.The plot starts off well, culminating in a monstrous and deeply unpleasant alien rape sequence, but it all goes downhill from there. The writers didn't seem to know how to carry the premise through and squandered it in favour of having their cast be picked off one by one after obeying the typical conventions of the slasher film, i.e. acting extremely stupidly by splitting up and running down a gloomy corridor. Much of the film, after the initial set up, is merely a series of violent murders, each one different from the last to give some variety. The gore content is high, with a woman being stabbed with a pair of scissors (an image Warren seems rather fond of), somebody sawing their own foot off when it gets jammed, and even some cannibal scenes where stomachs are torn open and intestines torn out.The acting is generally amateurish, with the smaller roles performed by unfamiliar faces who are adequate at delivering their lines but offer no personality or realism to their characters. Robin Clarke, as the hero, gives a rather stilted delivery, but I quite liked him. Stephanie Beacham, nearly a decade on from Dracula AD 1972, has a good role as a tough female crew member but even she is relegated to running around and hanging on the hero's arm at the end of the film. The best performance, though, comes from Judy Geeson, who is excellent as the woman possessed by an alien force and who will stop at nothing to care for her alien offspring. The torment she suffers as she's torn between her human and alien sides is excellent, Natasha Henstridge could have used her as inspiration for her role in SPECIES but sadly didn't. Geeson manages to be sympathetic, and gives a chilling portrayal of evil and madness.Unfortunately the alien creature itself is far too rubbery to be effective. It reminded me of the title design in THE FLY, and quite probably served as an inspiration for it. The alien babies are okay and thankfully only used briefly, so that we don't get time to see how they work. There are some nice low budget explosions and action to keep things moving along, but in the end it all comes down to the fact that we've seen it all before, and this offers little in the way of fresh or new ideas. It's just people running about and being murdered, yet again. INSEMINOID is by no means a particularly bad film, but it's just not particularly good either.

Paul Magne Haakonsen For a movie from 1981, then "Inseminoid" (aka "Horror Planet") was still entertaining to watch today. After having read reviews that claimed it to be a rip off of "Alien", then I was a bit reluctant to watch it. I will say, however, that while it shares some similarities with "Alien" then it wasn't a rip off.The story is about a group of interplanar archaeologists who stumble upon a cave-dwelling alien creature. The creature impregnates one of the crew members, and slowly she started to turn into a crazed killer while the alien offspring grows inside her.Now, the movie is driven by its story and acting talents, and barely relying on the special effects. This wasn't a special effects extravaganza, not by a long shot.As for the acting, then I will say that people were doing good jobs all round, which was crucial for the movie.You can't really have an alien creature movie without a proper alien being. The alien in "Inseminoid" actually looked rather interesting and was nicely made. It just wasn't shown as much throughout the entire movie as I would have liked.All in all, "Inseminoid" is an enjoyable Sci-Fi horror movie. But given its age, it is not a movie that stands out as memorable in comparison to the Sci-Fi horror movies that come out nowadays.

one4now4 This is the mindblowing story of a couple and all their friends/coworkers on a business trip of sorts to a foreign country. They are there to study the place actually. Well, they go into a bad area at the wrong time and look too deeply, resulting in the death of one guy and the emotional scarring of another. Badly affected with post-traumatic stress disorder, his friends first become worried about him (leading them to investigate further into what really went on that terrible night), but then find themselves under attack from him when he finally goes postal. To make matters worse, the female of the couple I mentioned at the start of this review is raped and impregnated by a local scumbag who seems to have a lot to do with the mystery behind their friend's rampage (along with some crystal meth being manufactured in the area). The scarred rape victim goes over the edge even worse than the previous psycho, who himself has to be taken out by one of his own friends. The now even crazier soon-to-be mother has a such a total and psychotic breakdown that it's her who begins to kill her own friends, believing that the only way for her to give her children nourishment is to feast on the flesh of all who surround her. It's eventually up to her boyfriend to take her down, but his plans are violently disrupted when she has two twin kids. Apparently, the story jumps ahead a bit at this point, and the guy takes the kids away from Mommy (for obvious reasons). Of course, there's nothing else better to make her resume her killing spree once again, and so the poor, tortured guy must finally do what he originally set out to do: kill this poor, deranged woman. Unfortunately for him and his only surviving friend (as well as some cops who get involved way too late in the whole mess, toward the end), the kids show that their mother left a very peculiar mark on them as evidenced by their own culinary choice... Make no mistake about it, this movie is a lot of things, but rarely do you see a rape-revenge movie where the rape victim goes around killing everyone who DIDN'T rape her, rather than the other way around! The rapist himself disappears from the story, hitting us hard with the fact that not everybody's going to pay for what they've done (while others pay for it, despite innocence). A nihilistic view, maybe, but an effective one all the same. Judy Geeson puts in one of the most extremely well-wrought portrayals of madness ever committed to film. While the gore and the rape scene may upset or offend some (as well as distract them from the deeper issues at hand), these people could be watching a movie that simply glosses over or avoids such extremes, like "Lilo And Stitch". The score is great and the direction is flawless. Very much one of the greatest films ever made, but I can only hope to see the uncut version soon.
