I guess this guy was the most successful Alien rip-off, in a way.

    What’s up with all the body mucus these monsters seem to secrete? You’d think they’d be slipping and sliding all over the place.

    Hmmmm, you think it might be more effective to throw salt on the monster than shooting at it…

    What is this thing? It kind of looks like the Syngenor, but I don’t think that’s what it is since I don’t recall Syngenor having human-looking eyes or all those tubes.

    A Krispy Kreme [tm] monster?

    Sugar-Frosted Monstrosities are part of this nutritious breakfast

  • The SYNGENOR suit was built from left-overs of a film called SCARED TO DEATH, so I guess this is a shot from the earlier appearance. As far as I know, SYNGENOR was seen by more people (I know I saw it once), mostly on video. Speaking of, there’s a film with lunacy galore. A future review subject?

    I don’t know anything about SCARED TO DEATH, but I think it was a more standard ALIEN rip-off.

    True. That line reminds me of the Mad Magazine parody of ALIENS.

    Asp: This creature has acid for blood.

    Dullas: Great. Maybe we can kill it with a Rolaids!

    Well, some quick research shows that my memory of the Syngenor was off, as that’s exactly what this is. I had remembered it as more of a gillman-looking thing with reptilian scales. Weird.

    I have only seen a few minutes of STD so I can’t really comment on it. Syngenor…well, David Gale was in it, so that was good (that was the first thing I saw him in, in fact), and there was a small army of Syngenors running around at the end, but other than that I remember it being pretty dull and crappy.

  • I recall mostly the fact that the supposed super-soldier of tomorrow was rather easily beat back by a young woman it had cornered in her bathroom. So much for their usefulness. At least we still had Rambo.

    The Syngenor, a great monster design that first appeared in the most god-awful, boring movie I have seen. Yes, Scared to Death is that bad.

    Worse than Santa Meets The Ice Cream Bunny?

    What movie is this from? This is a late post so most might not see it. If you happen to see it and know the movie please feel free to tell me on twitter? I’m @hootyhaha aka Eighties Dude.
