La Planète des vampires

23 May 2008. Fourteen years after "The Planet of Vampires" (aka Demon Planet), Ridley Scott would create one of the most frightening and densely layered science fiction/horror films in history that he titled, "Alien." The strong suggestive set design and atmospheric elements from "The Planet of the Vampires" would re-appear in "Alien." Script plots from the original Star Trek television series that began its run in 1966, two years before, are nicely incorporated into this serious attempt at science fiction/horror. While obviously outdated by time, the eerie, alien sounds and visual designs are outstanding for its time. Overall, this movie stands the test of time for its power, its emotional, visceral impact on the senses and its delivery. Eight out of Ten Stars.
