An ancient cannister is found on Titan, Saturn's largest moon. It turns out it contains a nasty alien. It escapes and you can guess what happens next. From the synopsis you can tell that this is pretty much a clear rip-off of Alien. Its not a bad riff but it does have one or two problems. The main gripe is it is what I would term a 'corridors in space' movie, a sub-bracket of cheap sci-fi where the sets are limited for budgetary reasons, leading to an over-abundance of 'suspenseful' scenes involving characters wandering corridors of the future. This lack of scenic variety becomes increasingly a problem, allied to the dark lighting which obscures the action a bit much too. That said, the alien is not a bad design and there are a few well executed visceral moments. The film also benefits from an appearance from Germany's scariest export since 1945, Klaus Kinski, as a highly lecherous lone survivor of a previous expedition - he's maybe even more alarming that the Alien to be perfectly honest.
