Inseminoid
A crew of interplanetary archaeologists is threatened when an alien creature impregnates one of their members, causing her to turn homicidal and murder them one by one.
Why it matters
A gritty, gonzo slice of early ’80s British sci-fi horror that rides the coattails of Alien with a raw, visceral edge all its own.
- Norman J. Warren’s direction leans into grimy, low-budget charm over polish, making it a cult curiosity in the post-Alien exploitation wave.
- Judy Geeson’s frantic performance captures a disturbing maternal horror that predates many alien impregnation tropes.
- Practical gore effects by the Maleys deliver a visceral body horror punch, embracing the era’s appetite for grotesque creature terror.
- Not for viewers seeking sleek sci-fi — it’s a rough-hewn, claustrophobic grindhouse outing that’s as much about atmosphere as narrative coherence.
