Short description
A rescue mission is dispatched to the planet Morganthus after contact is lost with a spacecraft that went down there. A small crew lands to search for survivors, but they find little besides bodies and a pyramid-like structure that interferes with their equipment and prevents them from leaving. One by one, the members of the team are killed by monstrous creatures, and it becomes clear that something on the planet is turning their own worst fears against them.
This early 1980s science-fiction horror film was produced by Roger Corman's New World Pictures and directed by Bruce D. Clark, who wrote the screenplay with Marc Siegler. It belongs to a wave of low-budget space-based genre pictures the company made around that time. The cast includes Edward Albert as Cabren, Erin Moran as Alumna, Ray Walston as Kore, Bernard Behrens as Commander Ilvar, Zalman King as Baelon and Robert Englund as Ranger.
Galaxy of Terror runs 81 minutes and mixes action, adventure and horror with its science-fiction setting. On IMDb the film holds a rating of 4.5/10 from 14 reviews, while on TMDB it has a rating of 5.3/10 from 267 votes, indicating that audiences rate it slightly more favourably than critics do. Neither figure points to broad acclaim, and the film is best known today as a product of Corman's stable rather than a major success.
What's left behind the scenes
- The set decorators created the walls and partitions of the spaceship from takeout food boxes from McDonald's.
- In the scene with maggots crawling on a hand, second unit director James Cameron, who was just starting his career in filmmaking, placed a prosthetic hand on a camouflaged metal plate to which he ran an electric current, in order to make the maggots move. Rumor has it that this impressed producer Roger Corman and opened doors for Cameron to larger film projects.
- Initially, it was planned that the giant worm would devour the heroine, Taffy O'Connell, but at the very last moment, director Bruce D. Clark decided to replace the devouring with a rape. During filming, the worm prop nearly crushed the actress.
