Ya know… not too bad. Pretty typical 80s creature-feature with “something” hunting (mostly) beautiful women and an unlikely or initially unwilling hero saves the day.
Plot takes a hit when they start trying to give anything any reason or purpose though.
Creature looks pretty good. Very obviously inspired by ALIEN.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic descent into paranoia as a woman hunted by her psychopathic twin confronts the ultimate violation of self: a murderous double. It's a lean, visceral 1980s chiller built on the terror of being hunted by someone who knows you completely.
