Star Crystal (1986)
1/10
I can't believe I remember this trash!

I remember seeing this on video many years ago in the mid to late 80's. There were some key scenes that stood out in my mind:

  • Space explorers discover a rock on a planet. The rock has a crystal in it that unleashes a deadly alien.


  • The alien starts to kill everyone on board the space craft/space station.


  • People who encounter the alien or its gooey trail comment on a "lemon"-like scent.


  • A black man gets killed by the alien.


  • One woman tries to get away from the creature by crawling through a tube-like tunnel.


  • The alien leaves its victims encased in a gooey substance.


  • The alien is playing chess with the surviving male character.


Yes, you heard me right. The alien is playing some sort of board game with the survivors! I couldn't believe my memory either. For the longest time (15 years and counting), I always thought I had two movies mixed up in my mind, confusing them as one.

Nope, it's all in the one flick. As stated by others above, this creature becomes good at the end (even after killing all the other people on board the space craft), and everyone goes home a happy camper, I kid you not.

This outrageously bad movie ("STAR CRYSTAL") has to be seen to be believed!
