Special effects are very good in this film; however, the plot is weak. Once again, McLeod (Christopher Lambert) and his mentor, Ramirez (Sean Connery), are on Earth evading the evil dictator (Michael Ironside) who is trying to control their destinies.

A research team is investigating a remote planet when one member, Sandy (Judy Geeson), is attacked and impregnated by a gross monster. She immediately gains super strength and a mad craving for blood to feed her two developing monsters. Thus, the crew members are dealt with one-by-one until she gives birth. The rescue shuttle arrives and finds no one left except the monsters–that wreak havoc on the trip home. Real trash, but an "ugly" bit of fun in this "Alien" rip-off.
