Alien Contamination aka Contamination (1981)

[DoctorX1932]

Daniel Argento! lol

[gckbowers411]

This looks like Alien.

[Hashpotato]

music is fuckin awesome lol

[Skulldini]

@Hashpotato This flick has some pretty explicite and decent gory parts too,.. . with people graphicaly exploding, a crew of bloody pulps on a drifting cargo boat and a guy being eaten by this really ridiculous one-eyed giant plant-like monster called "The Cyclopse" and shit! It's really much more funny than scarry though .

[normandusvang]

There is an old S-F horror movie where a group of students go on a expedition to a cave and a never unseen creature kills one by one, at the end there is only one survivor, but when he escapes to the city, he realizes that there are no people anywhere. Do you know the name of this one, I have been looking for it since for a long

[KeScI]

How old? 50's? 60's?

[normandusvang]

mmm, well, my father saw this in the late 70's, oh I remember, one of the scenes in a beach shows a little girl crying and when the mother arrives, her daughter turns to her mom and the girl has "something" like a starfish in her face (similar to those parasites in alien series)

[fuleiro44]

This scene is in "Alien 2 - Sulla Terra".

This is Alien Contamination or in italian "Alien arriva sulla Terra" produced in 1981...

[normandusvang]

:) Thanks a lot, that's exactly what I was looking fro :D!!!

[sirmercutio99]

1981- I remeber seeing it on one of the olf UHF Stations back in the 80's and thought it pretty scary. Wonder if u can get it on VHS/DVD?

[mrsgoatlady77]

wikipedia says it is avail on dvd

[joesmoe71]

@normandusvang It sounds like you're talking about "Alien 2: On Earth", also named "Sulla Terra" or "Alien Terror" from 1980, cheap but pretty creepy little B-movie! It turns up as bootlegs on Ebay every once in a while, I don't know if there's any DVD release of it yet.

[BillSwordfish]

@normandusvang Sounds like Alien 2: On Earth.

[badhead]

I love it when they show the whole movie in the trailer.

[KeScI]

Yeah..., in the 80's all trailers were like that... :/

[baddog7676]

Just added this baby to my horror movie collection. I LOVE these films. You just can't beat the amazing, early 80's cheese!

Everyone of these Italian horror films from the early 80's have amazing soundtracks. The soundtrack is worth the price alone, and you get a brilliantly bad film to boot. I can't wait for this film to arrive!

[seusstro]

The Goblin soundtrack is the BEST!!!

[CrazySean]

That was the first thing I noticed. I said to myself: "Damn, this music is pretty damn good."

[sirmercutio99]

They also did the music for Daniel Agento's Suspira and Tenabrae.

[FlawlessCock]

Even though this movie is crap it was highly enjoyable though. I mean I've seen alot more worse even in todays movies. Recent movies that has been highly praised by the media that is.

[Gunner1]

hard to believe his film was once banned in the UK.

[kevinhardy]

koool movie, like the mark verihan comics

[baddog7676]

Bruatlly cheesy and very poorly dubbed and acted. Yet it's brilliantly bad I absolutely love it! IMO this era of horror films was the best.

[jeremizle]

People give ALIEN wayyyyyy too much credit. Cuz if we want to get picky here, ALIEN stole from SHIVERS, a Cronenberg flick that came out FOUR YEARS BEFORE ALIEN.

[sniperbee]

WOW another "Alien" imitation! LOL!

[baddog7676]

Why hasn't anyone posted Cozzi's "The Killer Must Kill Again" (1975)? An absoultely brilliant piece of work! God I love good early 80's Italian cheesy horror flicks. This is brilliant!

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

i gotta find this movie!

[gentletouch1]

Look for Nightmare Worlds. It's a collection of 50 movies, one of which is Alien Contamination.

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

where do I find this nightmare worlds?!??! link me via message or comment?

[gentletouch1]

I got mine at Best Buy. I believe you can get it there, or try amazon dot com. I'll see if I can find it on amazon, and let you know.

[gentletouch1]

I just checked at Amazon dot com. Just enter alien contamination in the search box, and it'll show you several instances of the movie being sold. I saw one for about $4+. If you only want the one movie, I'd suggest that route.

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

thanks mate :P

[gentletouch1]

My pleasure. I watched it a couple of weeks ago. I'm a fan of badly done movies. Popcorn, soda and a Japanese Godzilla fest is my treat. LOL

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

I'm a huge nerd at heart too. I remember when i was young I'd watch monster, alien, space movies and I still like it.

[gentletouch1]

LOL. I still remember the Saturday matinees at the movies, and see the great movie posters for movies like the Angry Red Planet, and go see them. I'd also watch TV shows like Elvira, and love watching the movies she would show. Ah, those were the days.

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

those are too old for me. But I use to watch the sci fi channel all the time, I still would If I had cable T.V. but I don't' watch TV that much...don't like it, but yeah I liked the corny Screechers, leaches, dog soldiers, etc. Those movies are awesome :P

[gentletouch1]

I didn't like Dog Soldiers. I kept waiting for light to show the monsters, and was disappointedf in the movie. Ever watch Mystery Science Theater 3000? I used to love watching it, with their corny cracks and plots.

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

hell yeah! the little puppet guys and their hilarious commentary while the movie played? I saw one a long time ago, it was about like this comet that fell to earth and some guy had a piece of the rock in him or something and he turned into a monster at night or during a full moon. I don't remember what it was called, but my buddy Lowtax did trolls I think.

[gentletouch1]

Let me know if you find out the movie. I probably have it somewhere. MST3K was at the San Diego Comic Con, where I worked as a staff member this summer, but I didn't get a chance to go see them. I'm watching The Cabinet of Dr Caligari right now, a silent movie which is a classic.

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

is there a site or wherever I can go to see the films they did commentary on? I'd be able to find it if i can see a list or something cause I won't remember the name, but the commentary was fucking hilarious.

[gentletouch1]

I don't know, actually. I guess if you do a search mystry science theater 3000, maybe. Illl try and see if I can find anything.

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

found it! Track of the moon beast!!!!

saw it on wikipedia!

[gentletouch1]

Kewl!

[gentletouch1]

You know what? I actually have it on a 10-disc compendium set of horror movies. Try to find the compilation set "Ten Nights of Terror". I happened to check my movie collection and saw it.

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

did you like it? haha the Mystery Science Theater 3000 commentary was fucking hilarious!

[gentletouch1]

I didnt see the MST3K version, and I will have to re-watch it. I'll let you know when I see it and review it.

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

sweet deal!

[gentletouch1]

I watched it ... well, I tried to watch it. I fell asleep, actually. It could have been an excellent film, had it had the budget it needed, some decent special effects, and decent acting. What I saw of it was ... sorta kind interesting. LOL

[baddog7676]

All movies from this era are cheesy, but in a good way. The acting is probably bad anyway but the fact that they dub the actors voices makes it worse.

No doubt this is a cheesy film, but it is very watchable. Still funny LOL!

[gentletouch1]

Yep. I remember thinking how good the movies were when I was young, then watching them now, and wondering where my sense was. LOL. But then again, I'm buying many at a cut rate (usually $1) and watching them with a nostalgic viewing. I love many of the really bad movies (known as Schlock), and get a kick out movies such as the Japanese Sci-fi of that era. Go Godzilla!

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

can't wait till Godzilla returns :)

also MST3K makes any cheesy sci-fi flick fucking hilarious!

[gentletouch1]

Godzilla is Da Mannn!!! MST3K is Da Bomb! What the world needs now is a good Godzilla movie where he defeats Al Quaeda and gives Bin Laden a hotfoot. LOL

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

that'd be crazy, Godzilla set in the middle east!

I hear there can't be a movie about godzilla until like...a few years from now?

idk much about it, but i read it when looking into info on the new movie Cloverfield which is also a new monster movie.

[gentletouch1]

A new Godzilla movie? Wow! I can't wait! How about something like Godzilla Vs. Spiderman? LOL

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

thats too easy and cliche :P but yeah, expect a new godzilla movie in a few years

[gentletouch1]

That they do, every few years. But, will it be American or Japanese? Oh! Ever notice in the Japanese Godzilla movies, all the monster, including Godzilla have oriental eyes? Just an observation.

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

I'm not sure, hopefully american, they don't have those oriental eyes :P

[gentletouch1]

Well, in the Godzilla movie with Matthew Broderick, the Godzilla monster had, Tada - European/American eyes. LOL

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

hmm...I can't remember, wasn't Godzilla 2000 a really horrible movie? :P

[gentletouch1]

Godzilla 200 was, but the one with Matthew Broderick wasn't that bad. I felt sorry for the monster when they killed it. Hmmm, come to think of it, they might have ripped off the ending from another giant monster that we all know and love. :)

[ProudWhiteEmoKid]

well cloverfield will be the end all of monster movies :)

[SellawEvets]

I saw this years ago on ELVIRA'S MOVIE MACABRE under the title "Alien Contamination". Ian McCulloch was also in Lucio Fulci's ZOMBIE.

[charlieofthedead]

dont forget Zombie Holocaust, better known to many as Dr. Butcher M.D.

[novostendhal]

The music by the Goblins is great. The trailer is better than the movie

[HonEDLolington]

awesome movie, thanks for uploading.

[XxHorrorFreakXx]

Looks Such A Good Film May Have To Buy It,Though Hopefully Soemone Uploads It!!
