In fairness.... I agree the monster is pretty crappy, but this is a British TV series, not a blockbuster movie. The story was great - a relentless creature who tests the determination, hope and inginuity of the characters who are confined and thrown out of role. The only thing I would have scripted differently is to have the heros try to destroy the life support unit when there is no hope left - if we can have it, neither can they! I loved the Warriors soundtrack!!!
Good point made by drmanyuka, the first 'Alien' was filmed around this same era, and wasnt overwhelmingly insulting and/or embarrassing like this feeble and comical attempt. It's not as if this was "good for it's time". This sucked even then! This director should honestly be found, and hung!
This was actually done a few years before Alien and with much less money. In fairness the movies that followed after series like this and Star Trek had these to learn from. They knew what wouldn't work because TV shows had experimented and failed.
Heyyy! It's Chubachaa. From Star Wars! Yes, it is. They just put a lame mask on him, but I'd know Chewy anywhere! He needed to make better movie role choices. Star Wars is and will always be one of his better works. You Go Chewy!
I love the way he shambles out into the corridor at the beginning. You can practically hear him muttering under his breath, "Wellllp, looks like it's beer o'clock...."
...this was 1999 after all - technology had evolved!
I also love movies made in our past, predicting our future for a year that is now also behind us (confused yet?) For an example - watch John Carpenter's Escape From New York (1981) which was set in 1997
I think this voiceover is crappy. You should really work on a much more extensive one. This episode, however, was one of my fondest memories of '70s TV. Sadly, they'll get you over copyright violation if you post it unaltered.
I think SCIFI2010 got the series And he is Starting to Post Some episodes here.
I love to see it Also although it may look Cheesy now And admitedly was one of Cheesiest Episodes it Was Still good Fun And Scared Me A Lot Also as a Kid ..
I would love to see this with out your voice over... this creature gave me bad nightmares as a child.. do you have the origional with the real sound you could post.. I would do anything to see it again... ???

You know, the monster didn't seem so mean. He seemed curious and confused. Like he might have been lonely and just looking for some friends.
