Review: Director Steven Latshaw (Jack-O, Bio-Hazard) takes us on a rollercoaster of terror, action, and high octane fun. Well, actually, no he doesn't. But if you like bad B-movies than you can't pass up this one. Those of you who liked Jack-O (Latshaw's masterpiece) will love Dark Universe.

Review: I am in the video store and i see this title. On the cover, theres a ship, earth and a cryptic phrase reading 'where nightmares come from' and beside this ominous warning, a terrifying specimen of alien! Naturally, i had to rent this serving of corn cob. Within 5 minutes, i was laughing harder than i had in years, hence the second star instead of just one.
Talk about letting the dogs out! This movie is a genuine bowser!
It starts off with a spaceship moving thru space that looked so cheesy, i thought mothra or king ghidora was going to fly up next to it! Inside the ship, blinking lights and panels (ala the original Lost in Space Tv series) start going bezerk. Something is attacking the ship! "Spores!" cries out the pilot (who deserved the academy turkey award he most certainly has on the mantle). He crashes to earth, grows a few feet and walks around with a black garbage bag on his head. And he growls. And he pokes people with his tongue.
Trust me, this is funnier than it sounds. There was more dairy in this film than a wisconsin cheese factory. The plot is a mess of many different films. Alien, The incredible melting man and lifeforce come to mind. Mind you, all of those were real movies (and i say that kind of loosly with melting man).

the red stuff is missing from this one. A few splatters on a tree and some morphed corpses are about all we get here. Theres a few scenes with the obligatory nudity, and one of the lasses is actually fairly easy on the eyes. But alas, it takes more than a pair of chest pillows to save this one.

2 stars.
