Editorial Reviews

The year: 2241. The transport vessel Pandora hurtles through space, bringing an alien energy source known as: Thanatos, to fuel-starved planet Earth. The Pandora's six-person crew is headed by Captain Holoway, a tough, no-nonsense woman, recently promoted after the untimely death of former captain, and her fiancée, Rubini. Some of the crew is suspicious of Thanatos, which almost seems to have a life of its own… A few thousand miles from Earth, the Pandora receives a distress signal from the Diana, a derelict spacecraft. Against the crew's wishes, Holloway decides to investigate. The ship first appears eerily vacant, until the surprise appearance of four beautiful women, all nurses on their way to a new medical facility, the only survivors of a vicious pirate attack. It doesn't take long before the: nurses, reveal their true nature: They are the space pirates, and they immediately begin taking over the Pandora, seducing and capturing the crew. In the melee, Thanatos is ruptured, spewing noxious green fluid all over one of the pirates. She begins to physically mutate, her features growing monstrous as she becomes a bloodthirsty PLAGUER! One by one, the Pandora crew and pirates fall victim to the virus, as they are attacked and then reborn as demonic, ravenous creatures. Meanwhile, Thanatos grows stronger and begins to control the ship, sending it on a dead-set voyage toward Earth. Time is running out, and the pirates and crew must reluctantly join forces if they are going to survive. The only way to stop the contagion is to destroy Thanatos - but how?

"Plaguers" is an awful movie, from start to finish! Stop here, say a silent "thanks" that you read this review before you wasted time and money, and find a different movie to watch.

For those that need more, you should know that I really like Grade "B" SciFi and Horror movies. So a movie that is basically a zombie movie on a spaceship should be almost perfect, but every element is just so bad that there is literally nothing to recommend it. Here it is, broken down by element:

* Plot: So many holes you could fly a spaceship through the script. No spoilers from me, a spaceship with a mysterious alien cargo picks up survivors (all female in short skirts) from a damaged ship. Everything is not as it seems, as the body count starts to rise, along with the dead (bwwwaaaahhhhaaahhhaaa).

* Acting: Casting went for attractive women, and there are plenty of attractive women that can act... just not in this movie. The action scenes were just bad and not very suspenseful

* Sets & Wardrobe: I have literally seen better in a high school play

* Makeup: Downright laughable, seriously I literally laughed when I saw the first "zombie"

* Special Effects: Weak, but would have been acceptable if there were any supporting elements

I usually ignore reviews that say, "I watched this so you don't have to", but please heed this warning - I watched this so you don't have to.

1.0 out of 5 stars IN SPACE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOUR RIDICULE, December 25, 2010

I am not going to say this is a bad movie.(it is).I am not going to say the production values are bad(they are). I am not going to say the acting was bad(it is).

A spacecraft twice the size of Yankee Stadium with an impressive crew of 7-rescues the only survivors of a ship that was attacked by space pirates. the rescued are 4 beautiful women and are soon revealed to be the pirates and they take over the rescue craft. The balance of this atrocity involves an egg-shaped, green glowing orb which turns the cast into flesh eating space zombies. Since the entire cast is 11-the zombies will be hungry pretty soon.

There is one scene worthy of MST3K. The only survivir boards an escape pod as the ship blows up. The escape pod looks and is the size of a coffin. All the escapee needs is a pair of pants, a low cut tee shirt and a portable oxygen tank and mask. There is a surprise and I could issue a spoiler but the movie is so ridiculous no one would care.

Is Steve Railsback forced to remake "Lifeforce" again and again like it is some sort of celluloid Flying Dutchman?

This is bad. The script is bad. The acting is bad. The gorey effects are bad.

And no one in this mess takes the Mathilda May part from "Lifeforce" - if you know what I mean and I think you do.

I've seen more tension in an overcooked noodle than that on show in this apology for a film.
