Leaving April 1
Directed by Bruce D. Clark | 81 mins | 1981
The Corman tradition of riffing on genre trends rode strong into the 1980s with this cross between "Alien" and "Solaris" that anticipates "Nightmare on Elm Street". Rescuers sent to the planet Morganthus soon discover that their worst fears are taking physical form. Robert Englund, Grace Zabriskie, Sid Haig, and other unfortunates face off against a truly lurid array of attacks, rendered through practical effects (with the help of a young James Cameron).
