IT’S BEEN SLEEPING PEACEFULLY ON A MOON OF SATURN FOR 2000 CENTURIES UNTIL NOW!

A crew of scientists arrives on a faraway moon to examine archaic artifacts of extraterrestrial 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’ lifeless bodies. Is it possible that the planet isn’t deserted after all, and one of the archaic creatures is on the loose, slaughtering people?

Many Alien ripoffs have been made over the years, but Creature might actually be the most Alien-like of them all.

    The movie is undoubtedly capitalizing on ‘Alien’, but its resemblance to many particular details in ‘Aliens’ is because it actually came first and the same lead special effects person for ‘Creature’ went on to work on ‘Aliens’ a year later.

    ‘Creature’ can be thought of almost as prototype testing different visuals and techniques that would appear the the bigger budget ‘Aliens’.
