Alien Contamination Movie Review

Italian-made tale of two astronauts who return to Earth from an expedition to Mars carrying some deadly bacterial eggs. Controlled by a Martian intent on conquering the world, the eggs squirt a gloppy juice that makes people explode on contact (a special effect). When more and more of the eggs appear, heroes Ian McCulloch and Louise Monroe trace them to a remote colony where a bigger, squishier alien is controlling humans to help grow and harvest the eggs. A cheap and sloppy attempt to cash in on the success of Alien, with ideas taken from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. From the director of Starcrash. Dubbed. AKA: Contamination.
