Criticism
"The film is technically adept and so imaginatively told that you ' liked sees beyond the obvious, bonds ' with Alien 'or' Life Force. Conclusion: For a B- movie shocker made very creative. "
" A trivial space odyssey with paranormal superstructure and an excess of cheap sound and light effects; thematically immature and hardly exciting. "
