First off, I really, really, REALLY wanted to like this movie, and failed.
Heck I even like low budget 1980's Italian made dreck, but this movie was nothing short of a slog. The first twenty minutes of the film consist of stock footage from Apollo missions, and they are the most interesting part of the film.
The next 20 minutes depict people riding around in cars, talking, bowling, and doing nothing. The following 20 minutes tell the story of a group of spelunkers who encounter a killer blue wad of play-dough, attempt to escape from it's deadly grasp, and die graphic, bloody deaths that are out of proportion to the decided lack of actual activity. Finally, the closing 20 minutes finds the two survivors returning to the bowling alley, finding an alien covering the lens of the camera, running around shouting at nothing, and the suggestion that YOU COULD BE NEXT.
Yes. That IS chilling. You too could end up engaging in odd, meaningless hobbies like bowling and spelunking to fill your idle hours between major meals. I cannot imagine a worse fate, other than perhaps a CINEMATIC SCREENING of this film. Even the instant low budget 'alien world' look of the underground caverns, moments of nudity, gore, and interesting electronic music score (which I believe we hear in CONTANIMATION as well) cannot save this film. IT KILLED MY PARTY!! and I wasn't even drunk yet.
Fortunately, this film is safely Out of Print and very hard for everyday humans to track down and see. If they bother, it's their own fault, and you should not feel sorry for them at all.
