Format: DVD
'Inseminoid' is a low(ish) budget - £1 million - SF exploitation movie filmed shortly after 'Alien', directed by Norman J. Warren, best known previously for 'Satan's Slave' (horror) and 'Prey' (which is also a science fiction film dealing with an extraterrestrial disguised as a human being visiting Earth). It is a competently made picture, with some big name actresses (Judy Geeson and Stephanie Beecham, both of whom had worked for Hammer - amongst other studios - previously). Despite the budgetary restraints, it has some good special effects, some not-so-good special effects, but overall does an effective job as a SF-Horror movie. It has an excellent period synthesizer score common to SF and Horror films at the time (for example the works of John Carpenter) and lots of lively ideas.
The touches of sex and horror are effective and the setting in Chislehurst caves (where the notorious Hellfire Club used to get up to all sorts of naughtiness) work very well as the site of an archeaological dig on an alien moon.

'Inseminoid' has many detractors, who tend to fall into two camps (1) viewers who can't use their imagination and suspend disbelief in the face of less than 100% realistic effects, and/or (2) those who believe the film is a 'rip-off' of 'Alien'.

The first group will never enjoy any SF film that doesn't have a big budget sheen, so in terms of judging well over 90% of SF films made, don't have opinions worth considering, since using their imaginations is a step too far for them. Almost every SF film ever made needs the audience to willingly suspend disbelief and engage with the 'what if?' mindset required to enjoy the genre. If you can't use your imagination and need everything handed to you on a plate, you're doomed to never enjoy most SF.

When Alien arrived in cinemas it presented a world of trucker-chic and phallic xenomorphs, Inseminoid on the other hand gave us hot pants and Stephanie Beacham. While Ridley Scott's film skillfully laced primal fear with dark, Freudian undertones, Norman J Warren's galactic penis-creature just bangs Judy Geeson with a giant perspex willy. Yes in this movie you will gaze in awe at Stephanie Beacham's little white pants, yes you will sit helpless as the pound-stretcher sets make a better fist of the acting than the cast and yes you will start humming 'I Feel Love' when the rubbery beast makes interplantary luurve on a discotechque floor.

This movie is very low budget but it has it's unique charms too! Yes it is very derivative of Alien but if you like that genre, and you don't demand the same level of production values you may still enjoy this; it actually reminds me in places of the much more recent Prometheus movie, although on amuch, much, MUCH lower scale!!!
You could place it in a similar context to Saturn 3 although that film is better and has a much higher budget to be fair.
There is a reasonable level of gore and both alien and human generated violence, You know it's a science fiction horror movie from 1981 that never pretends to be anything less than a British rip off of Alien!! It has it's nasty moments and it's worth watching, just that the production values, sets, fx, costumes are more in line with 70s Doctor Who or Blakes 7 than Ridley Scott's 1979 epic!

The director does set most of the movie in caves & tunnels, that form the underground base on the alien planet, don't expect much action on the planet's surface (which when seen is mostly just a rock quarry type location filmed through a purple filter) Don't expect much in the way of shots of spaceships or elaborate fx. It's all left to imagination. To be fair the claustrophobic elements of the tunnels often work well. You don't see that much of the alien/s either but what you see is reasonably effective, it wouldn't have troubled HR Giger but it works in the movie. it's actually more like a slasher movie in terms of its alien impregnated but human protagonist. And yes there is a creepy alien rape scene..

It's a film that actually would be served well by a remake, somebody like Neil Marshall would be a good fit, methinks.

A team of scientists are working in a lab on a distant planet when one of the female scientists is raped and impregnated causing her to lose her grip on reality and starts killing everyone one by one.

Interesting British sci-fi/horror, if a little underwhelming. Made for a relatively low budget of around £1million the film actually looks quite good, the sets (in Chislehurst cave's), the props & locals all adds to the much bigger budget feel to the picture. There are a few famous faces, Stephanie Beacham, Victoria Tennant & Judy Geeson, everyone else less so, but all do a fine job, Geeson outshines but the acting is not a negative point, neither is the pacing, the film moves along at a fair old zip with enough fights and mini explosions to try and keep attention. The electronic score is another good thing and adds to the "sci-fi" or "futuristic" feel to the film, the one thing that hurts it though is the story, it really isn't interesting enough, the premise is, but the final product struggles to hold or grip the viewer, the final 15-20mins are fun and even exciting creating a creepy tension but by this point the story is all but gone (as will some of the audience).

Director Norman J Warren usually makes fun little horror pics and this is by no means an exception, just don't invest to much in the story and there should be something to enjoy. Surprisingly this made it on to the Section 3 nasty list, there are a couple of reasonably strong (& fairly effective) scenes, a woman cutting part of her leg off & the rape, but nothing that could possibly offend.
