ALIEN FROM THE DEEP (1989)

Alien degli abissi

Directed by Antonio Margheriti

Starring

Daniel Bosch, Marina Giulia Cavalli, Robert Marius, Luciano Pigozzi, Charles Napier, John Anthony Kater, Frank Wannack Dieter

A female reporter drags her cameraman to an island where they believe toxic waste dumping is taking place within the indigenous active volcano area. With help form the local village resistance, the duo manage to infiltrate the chemical plant and film the evidence that proves the dumping is in fact taking place.

It is not long before the alarm is raised and the cameraman is captured and brought before the evil commander while the reporter manages to escape and meets a helpful snake venom expert in the jungle. The two plan on going back to the plant for a rescue mission, but little do they know that chaos will erupt with the awakening of the Alien from the Deep which has the whole compound in disarray.

This was Antonio Margheriti's last incursion to the sci-fi genre and last collaboration with long time producer Gianfranco Couyoumdjian. It really is more of a horror-action-adventure film though with an ecological message about the systematic destruction of nature which Margheriti again visited with his next film Indio.

Dianne Franklin, Gerrit Graham, Mary Woronov, Jennifer Richards, Chad Allen, Bert Remsen, Randi Brooks, Sonny Carl Davies, and Jonathan Gries

A civilization on a distant planet has found a way to solve its garbage problem by turning it into energy and beaming it into outer space.

A flaw in this system is found when the signal is accidentally picked up on Earth by an unsuspecting family’s satellite dish. While this would ordinarily be just another garbage mess, this particular transmission contains a hungry trash monster that quickly begins devouring each of the family members one by one.

Classic campy cheese that is sure to definitely please.

SHOCKING DARK (1990)

Terminator II

Directed by Bruno Mattei

Starring

Christopher Ahrens, Haven Tyler, Geretta Geretta, Fausto Lombardi, Mark Steinborn, Dominica Coulson, Clive Ritchie and Paul Norman Allen

Its the future, and the city of Venice is an underwater stronghold which now contains a fully functional conglomerate company that have been experimenting with evolutionary DNA on humans. No one has heard from the occupants for some time so a crack unit of marines are shipped out to get to the bottom of it.

Once inside the labyrinth of corridors, the unit are soon attacked by crazed technicians who have been infected by the DNA project. The danger of the mutant deformities and creatures increase the deeper they get towards their objective of the main laboratory.

While managing to evade the monstrous onslaught, surviving team members discover a young girl sole survivor they eventually coax into guiding them to the lab. All is not as it seems though as amongst the ranks there is a robotic humanoid ready to sabotage the mission and make sure that the DNA project survives outside of the complex.

Bruno Mattei and his writer Claudio Fragasso are at it again with this audacious exercise in plagiarism which produces this Italian version of James Cameron's Aliens with a touch of Terminator thrown in for the final act.
