Synopsis
Less than a year before James Cameron's turbo-charged sequel, Hollywood (or its overseas counterparts) still managed to find ways to retread the badly-worn theme of Ridley Scott's Alien, as evidenced in this 1985 low-budget item. When a mysterious canister is uncovered on Saturn's largest moon Titan, a dormant, eons-old monster is released, making lunch of both the explorers who discovered it and the rival corporation's exploration team which investigates their disappearance. The most enjoyable "creature" in this otherwise pedestrian film is the ever-leering Klaus Kinski, who plays the lecherous sole survivor of the previous expedition, but the only real source of entertainment -- the depiction of gooey, gory effects and gratuitous nudity -- is spoiled by inadequate lighting and static camera set-ups. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

The Kinski Clause by RParson September 7, 2004 - 7:52 PM PDT

A mildly surreal performance by Klaus Kinski lifts this standard "Alien" clone from sinking in mediocrity. Generally it's a "paint-by-numbers" story, but does have a few tense moments. Special effects are hit and miss. So is the acting. Really Rad 1980s clothing and hairstyles! Kinski makes the movie worth watching.

Somehow, big or low budget films about nasty (and hungry) beasts preying on a group of hapless victims has a special place in my heart.
