Contamination

An Alien knock-off with an enormous Goblin score doing more work than everything else combined.

Alien eggs arrive in New York on a cargo ship from Colombia and burst people from the inside in slow motion, which is the film's one effect and it is deployed roughly every twelve minutes.

Luigi Cozzi made it fast to catch the wave, and the ambition is visible in the budget's absence: the Martian cyclops in the final act is a rubber puppet lit as darkly as the negative would allow.

The score is excellent and was released on its own merits.

Listed by the DPP, dropped, and it is now passed uncut. The chest bursts are the reason it was on there, and they are slower and gooier than anything in the film they are copying.
