Yes, there's interspecies worm rape in this movie, but it's HETEROSEXUAL interspecies worm rape, just like God intended!

The story might be a rundown of the old "Your own fear is what kills you" but it is so way out there designwise that I still consider this a minor masterpiece.

81 minutesI really don't remember why this was on my Netlfix queue, most likely because it was mentioned on a podcast that I listen to. So I really had no idea what to expect form it. I have determined that this if fucked up though. :)
The film looked pretty awful for a film made in 1981 if you ask me. Unless there is a problem with getting a quality print of it and the resulting in poor quality visuals. I don't mean the film looked bad in the sense of how it was made, in how the film looked to be much older than 81, and for the most part that…

Are you a B-horror movie from the 80's? Take this simple quiz to find out!
DO YOU...
• Have a main title set in Helvetica?
• Feature "actors" such as Sid Haig and Robert Englund?
• Use darkness to cover your shitty F/X and production design?
• Suck wet farts out of a dead donkey's ass?If you answered yes to one or more of the above questions, CONGRATULATIONS! You are most likely an 80's B-horror movie and are beloved by fat, sweaty guys the world over.

A fine piece of exploitation film that has some stunning looking sets (largely thanks to a young James Cameron), and pretty gruesome deaths for it's crew. The story is pure nonsense and the acting isn't the best, but it's an enjoyable ride regardless.

Cheap, but very cheerful, Corman Alien knockoff that also feels a little like a 60's-era Star Trek episode, with added gore and a completely gratuitous and wholly unnecessary giant space worm T&A rape scene. Nuts.

I enjoyed the sets, and the cool monsters, but parts had a tendency to become boring. The beginning lift-off was so laughably rushed, I thought I might've accidentally bumped the 'speed 1.5' button on my remote. It got better as it went, though. Robert Englund was another one of the few highlights.

Considering this was a B-grade Roger Corman Alien rip-off, this film was incredibly entertaining. It also had some terrific production design (credits noted a certain James Cameron which explains a lot), the sets were pretty epic for a film of this budget and at times this really played out like a schlockier yet far more enjoyable version of Prometheus. The twist at the end was hokey but fun, the finale action scenes (somersaults!) were ridiculous and it contains multiple inventive death scenes (rape by giant space bug?!). Crazy film!

Galaxy of Terror is a great film. It is Roger Corman produced, and features the work of a pre-Terminator James Cameron. Ideas and set designs from this film have resonated through the genre. Everything from Aliens to Sphere and Event Horizon. The film features a young, pre-Freddy Robert Englund and a post-Hill Sid Haig. The acting is above par for this type of movie, and the sets and creatures are wonderfully done. The film is definitely worth a watch, but be warned the giant worm.

This movie is kinda a mixed bag. It has some boring parts but also some great B-Movie camp. The acting is alright and if you are a horror fan then you can spot the actors from other horror films, like Robert England. Some of the kills are so over the top that they are fun. That is sometimes all these B horror movies have. The script is mediocre. It is a mediocre film.The acting is good and it has enough enjoyable camp in it to say just barley worth a watch.
