Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe

Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe is a Canadian-American science fiction action film about two officers of an intergalactic police force whose pursuit of one another reaches Earth. Abraxas is sent after Secundus, a renegade from their own long-lived humanoid race. Secundus has come to Earth with plans involving human women, and the child born from his actions draws both officers into a conflict over the fate of the boy and his mother. The film blends action and drama with its science fiction premise.

Damian Lee directed and wrote the screenplay, and also appears in the cast as Dar. The film was produced by Lee, Curtis Petersen and David Mitchell for Rose & Ruby Productions and Phoenix Entertainment Group. It was the first of the features Lee directed, ahead of Ski School (1991), Sacrifice (2011), A Dark Truth (2012) and Breakout (2013). Professional wrestler and actor Jesse Ventura plays Abraxas, with Sven-Ole Thorsen as Secundus. Marjorie Bransfield plays Sonia Murray, and the credited cast numbers 35, among them Jerry Levitan as Hite and Ken Quinn as Carl.

Released in December 1990, the film runs 90 minutes. Its ratings sit low with viewers: on IMDb it holds 2.9 out of 10 from around 2,600 votes, and on TMDB it has 3.5 out of 10 from 56 votes. Both figures point to a small and largely negative audience response rather than a widely seen release.
