Creature (1985)

aka Titan Find

How bad is it? It's not a complete failure.
Should you see it? Why not?

I saw this twice, forgetting that I'd seen it under a different title; it's currently available on DVD in a ripped from VHS double bill with "Slime People," but deserves better treatment. It has Klaus Kinski at his eye-popping baddest, for one thing. This film retreads "Alien" and borrows elements heavily from other sources, but it's not uninteresting to watch. Granted, the creature is bad and the acting is worse. The plot twist at the end is laugh out loud funny. There's some serious gore effects and some genuinely creepy moments, so it's not a complete waste - it just isn't good or original.
