As a lone spaceship proceeds on its long voyage across space, the crew are surprised to encounter a strange pyramid form. Surprise turns to horror as one by one, they discover that their darkest nightmares are all starting to become real. The pyramid has to be behind it all somehow, but how can they save themselves from its influence? —IMDb
The star of the film is the special effects crew, who stretched 700 grand as far as it would go and made "Galaxy of Terror" look almost as good as a big-budget studio film of its era. Sadly, the script is a simple 'kill by numbers' game, littered with canned dialogue. The production design here will remind you of "Aliens" or even "Prometheus" at times but the story has no such artistic ambitions.
With characters this annoying, I wish they could all have ten times as many death scenes and ten times fewer lines of dialogue.
This was one of my favorites growing up, and it's very gruesome, overly enjoyable space horror.
