Inseminoid (1982)

I love sci-fi/horror hybrids. From Event Horizon to Dark City to Alien, Sci-Fi and Horror are two great tastes that taste great together. Because of the success of Alien in ’79, there came quite a few cheeseball rip offs, most notably Galaxy of Terror as well as other Roger Corman knock off flicks. Some focused on creepy aliens, while others the suspense. A small repugnant few focused on the rape. Yes, of course that’s why Alien was such a success, because a dude gets mouth raped and has a chest baby. That must be it. Inseminoid is one of these filthy few, and the only thing good about it is the name.

Set in the future a ship of explorers set out to land on a hostile planet to do some exploring.  One member of the team becomes infected by an alien, is brought on board and havoc ensues.Sound familiar? Only this time a female crew member is drugged and raped with beaker of alien green stuff and now she’s a possessed killer carrying alien babies.

Let’s just get to the point shall we? This movie stinks. Terrible music, mediocre acting, a smidge of grue and alot of running and screaming and not a whole lot else. The pace is slow and the sets, makeup, and technology are all horribly dated. Seriously it looked like they were using an Apple IIe, couldn’t they just create something that looked a little bit futuristic? It’s not gory enough or sleazy enough to be amusing, just dull. Honestly Inseminoid is for alien ripoff fanatics only. There’s just not enough meat on this one’s bone.

Gore: mild

Nudity: mild

Overall: 4/10
