Horror Film of the Week, DrHerbertWest's pick:
Sorry I'm a little late but hopefully this will still qualify. My first pick for the Horror Film Of The Week Club is something that a lot of people have probably heard of but not a lot of people have checked out:
 This is one of my favorite Italian horror (science fiction, really) movies. Why? Well, it's cheesy. It's a rip-off of Alien. It's got a lot of gore. It has great dubbing. Hopefully others will want to check out this awesome Luigi Cozzi film as well.

Oh no! Couldnt get into this the first time. Maybe a second viewing will grow on me. I didn't like Anthrpophagus the first time either.

Damn, I came this close to getting this during Wherehouse's 20% off sale.

I first saw this on late night TV in the 80's on Elvira's MOVIE MACABRE.When Blue Underground released it,I jumped on it.I always remembered it as a fun bad movie.Seeing it again widescreen (the B.U. disc looks great),I actually thought it was better than I remembered.It's still nutty and goofy but it really won me over.One of Cozzi's better films.Plus Ian McCollough from ZOMBIE is great fun as the drunken ex-astronaut (''I don't know what Mars is and I've never been there !").Great fun,as long as you know what you're getting into.

Can't remember how much I enjoyed this the first time I saw it, so I'm looking forward to checking it out again.

I've been wanting to see this for a long time. Contamination was near the top of my Netflix queue seemingly forever. The status always said VERY LONG WAIT and never changed. I gave up on it. I'll probably pick up the Blue Underground dvd at some point.

I remember getting this from Netflix back when it first came out- now they don't even have it in their catalog anymore. Looks like I'm not going to get to watch this one again since I don't remember liking it enough to actually buy it. |

Contamination is available in a "two fer" pack for something like $20 srp.

I have this one as well. Cheesy indeed. However it's not that great, and it's pretty slow at times. But the gore and grue and bad dubbing make it worth a watch.
