Plaguers Movie Reviews

Highly enjoyable and entertaining creature feature

Receiving a distress signal from a nearby ship, the crew of a commercial freighter rescues a band of women left inside who take over the ship, but while doing so accidentally unleash an alien virus that mutates those it comes into contact with into a deformed beast forcing them to try to get off the ship alive.

This one ended up being a solid enough effort. Among the better aspects featured here is the rather enjoyable build-up that manages to get a lot to like. The different side-stories about the crew-members distrusting the new captain and how she took control of the ship shortly before meeting up by an accident to the former captain who was her partner serve as a great introduction to the group. As well, the discovery of the crew of the distressed ship who turn out to be the ones who try to take over the ship but end up releasing the virus by accident when they end up disrupting the power source stowed away onboard. This dynamic between the two crews and how they both respond to the virus that overtakes everyone, where they get turned into monstrous, deformed mutants, has plenty to like. That also carries over nicely into the rather enjoyable action-packed confrontations on display. The start of the madness comes quickly as the sequences featuring the rapid-decomposing creatures due to the outbreak from the ruptured power source has a lot to like, much like the battles in the ship corridors where the two sides come together to fight off the advancing hordes. From there, the ever-growing hordes of creatures looking to turn the remaining crew stalking them through the ship creates plenty of high-energy action featuring wholly impressive monsters and gore engaging in fine battles across the various confines and areas. Mixing in some fine double-crosses about who is out for themselves, there’s plenty of enjoyable aspects to be had with this one. This one doesn’t have too much to dislike about it. The main issue here is the blatant and outright plagiarism used to help sell the story, featuring scenes and concepts lifted wholesale from other films that are quite important to the genre. They’re quite easy to spot and not useful or doing anything different with them, making for a rather disappointing utilization if that’s the case here. As well, the other problem is the completely ridiculous reasoning here for ensuring the device stays on-board which continues to produce new mutations through exposure to it which is all done for monetary gain that no one justifiably warrants. This process is quite confusing and doesn’t have any internal reasoning to keep it on there, which when added to the underwhelming CGI are what lowers this one overall.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

Shoot it!

The Pandora, a spaceship carrying an alien power source diverts from its course back to Earth to answer a distress call from the Diana, filled with four beautiful women who are in reality killer pirates. Their plan to take over the Pandora gets side tracked when they accidentally hit the power source which causes a zombie-like mutation.

The film opens with a teaser that comes very late into the film. The acting and dialogue are in the “need improvement” category. The action mostly takes place on the space craft set. The monster acting was also bad.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Lame cat fight.

Fun sci-fi/horror flick

2241. A band of space pirates hijack a fuel transport vessel that’s headed for Earth. Things go horribly awry after an alien virus gets accidentally released and turns those infected with it into vicious ravenous demonic beasts. The pirates are forced to team up with the ship’s crew in order to fight for survival.

Writer/director Brad Sykes relates the derivative, but still enjoyable story at a zippy pace, maintains a generally serious tone that’s further spiced up with a wickedly funny sense of black humor, stages the attack scenes with considerable go-for-broke aplomb, and delivers a handy helping of gleefully graphic gore.

More, it’s acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast: Steve Railsback as friendly android Traver, Alexis Zibolis as feisty captain Holloway, Noelle Perris as hard-nosed pirate leader Kyra, Jared Cohn as the jerky Riley, Paige La. Pierre as the blithely crazy Sadie, Bobby James as smartaleck Mason, Chad Nell as laid-back pilot Briggs, Maija Palsley as sweet medical officer Landon, and Erica Browne as the sassy Alida. The special effects are pretty decent considering the modest budget. Cool surprise bummer ending, too. A real B-grade blast.
