Review of Contamination (2008) by Tim H — 07 Apr 2007
Ok this isn't a classic by any stretch but it's a great "guilty pleasure" flick. The story borrows heavily from Aliens but Cozzi forgets plot & character and goes straight for the gore. There's chests exploding everywhere in slo-mo graphic detail. The photography is above standard too. Just don't expect any meanigful depth, it's an 80's gore-fest and nothing more.
Goblin (Argento regulars) do a nice disco score too.
Facts: this was meant to be released under the title Alien 2 but ran into obvious rights issues.
The uncut version is still banned in the UK.
