The video box looked like an Aliens rip-off, the plot description looked like an Aliens rip-off and, indeed, Dead Space is an Aliens rip-off. We open with Marc "Beastmaster" Singer and his robot sidekick intercut with FX scenes from Battle Beyond the Stars (which were also used in Space Raiders, Cyberzone, and probably some other films I haven't seen...yet). Anyway, he gets a distress signal from a research outpost where some virus research experiment has gone awry. He lands to check it out and then we are treated to scens of various vaseline-covered rubber critters hiding in air shafts and sticking to people's faces. Unfortunately, there are just too many long, dull sequences of Marc and the crew walking through corridors between the excitement. Finally, at the end, the creature has grown to about 10 feet tall and looks like a cobweb-covered mother alien from Aliens. The movie is only about 78 minutes, and there's a nice sex scene with El Beastmaster, but overall it was a little slow for me. If you love Marc Singer the way I do, you'll need to check this one out, if only to be a completist.
