Plaguers is a Sci-fi Horror movie that was initially released in 2008, some 12 years ago, but is being re-released in a “10th Anniversary Edition” through Wild Eye Releasing, and so I had a chance to sit down with it and see what it had to offer.
Directed and written by Brad Sykes (The Pact), Plaguers is the tale of a crew of sexy space pirates (yep) who hijack an Earth-bound fuel-transport ship, and, accidentally, an alien virus known as “Thanatos” is released, which mutates victims and turns them into demonic and starving monsters. The sexy pirates (yep) and the crew of the ship must band together in order to take out these undead, erm… plaguers, as the vessel approaches Earth.

The low-budget flick takes place in the 23rd century. The spaceship Pandora is headed to Earth, and it’s carrying a mysterious green-glowing energy source that they refer to as “Thanatos.” The craft has a small crew, and I would name them if that were important, but it isn’t. The only crewmembers who aren’t interchangeable or forgettable are Captain Holloway (Alexis Zibolis) and Tarver (Steve Railsback). Actually, Holloway is rather forgettable as well—she just gets more screen time—and Railsback plays a synthoid (a.k.a. an android) in a lifeless performance in which the Helter Skelter actor goes way too far in the “I’m a robot. I have no emotions” department. Oh, there’s also the former captain,...
