Creature

1985 · 97 min

A slow, gloomy space horror that feels like a low-budget Alien clone, with eerie sets and a lurking monster.

Tagline
It's been sleeping peacefully on a moon of Saturn for 2000 centuries ... until now!
Overview
A crew of scientists arrives on a far, cold planet to examine archaic artifacts of unknown origin. They discover that their German enemies already have a ship there. When they seek their help after a failed landing, they only find the Germans’ bodies, obviously slaughtered by one of the archaic creatures, awoken to new life. Now the alien is after them.
