Galaxy of Terror

Galaxy of Terror is a 1981 American science fiction horror film produced by Roger Corman through New World Pictures and directed by Bruce D. Clark. It stars Edward Albert, Erin Moran, Ray Walston and Taaffe O'Connell. Plot On the planet Morganthus, the last survivor of a crashed spaceship is killed by a monster. On the world of Xerxes, the Planet Master, a man whose face is obscured by an aura, instructs one of his military commanders to take a spaceship called Quest to Morganthus. The Planet Master is seen playing a sort of chess-like game with an old woman who advises him that his actions are dangerous and will lead to ruin. The Planet Master responds by saying that it (his actions) is necessary. The Quest is piloted by Captain Trantor, a survivor of a space disaster that has left her psychologically scarred. While approaching Morganthus' atmosphere, the ship veers out of control, with Trantor barely able to make the landing. The rescue team then leaves the Quest in search of survivors. The team reaches the other vessel and finds several victims, making them think that a massacre has taken place. They take one body back for analysis and dispose of the rest. Cos, a young crewmember, becomes increasingly terrified of being on the ship. He is later killed by something that vanishes before anyone finds his remains.
