Current Release: No
Watched With: Jordan
John Carpenter's first effort. A student film for the most part I believe. And yes, it's rough around the edges. And the actors are just friends. After watching hours of Alien extra features earlier this year I instantly recognised Dan O'Bannon's distinct voice.
It's not all there yet, but there are definitely parts of this I find absolutely hilarious. Some mostly for the concept rather than the execution of writing. Still fascinating to watch and an impressive effort considering the context n which it was made.
You can also see the beginnings of the Alien story here, written as a reaction to how poorly this was recieved. I mean, there alien here is just a beach ball. But a hilarious beach ball nonetheless.
