Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity: Certainly a spin on the original story
8 May 2019
Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity is yet another adaptation of The Most Dangerous Game (1932), only this time it's in space. Because you know, you can't have a franchise having never gone into space at least once apparently.

This is an odd one, you see originally the adaptations tended to stick to the original story and setting for the most part. Then in the 1970's we had several exploitation style versions, whereas this is a blend of the two.

Its title starts with Slave Girls so inevitably there was bound to be plenty of T&A though it's surprisingly light here. Yet on the flipside this is fairly loyal in places, in fact they've ripped some of the script from the original so it's quite an unusual movie.

It tweaks the original tale for a sci-fi setting. Here for have a couple of friends who escape slavery but crash land on a mysterious planet. They're welcome warmly but quickly begin to realize their host has nefarious intentions.

Instead of crossbows and knives we have various laser weapons and instead of henchmen we have cyborgs. Undoubtedly this is the most original adaptation I've seen yet, but originality doesn't count for much when it's this naff.

Should you want to watch this classic tale I'd advise sticking with the original 1932 version or on a bigger scale Turkey Shoot (1982).

The Good:

Oddly loyal to the source material

The Bad:

Cheesy stuff

Ending gets pretty dumb
