 'Inseminoid' (1981) – Norman J. Warren.

Independent genre film-maker, and inspirational low-budget horror impresario Norman J. Warren made quite the sanguinary splash with his uber-cult alien cannibal suburban slasher splatter sensation 'Prey', and turned his enthusiastic, if not always steady hand to grisly Sci-Die with his bemusingly earnest, extra terrestrial, claustrophobically subterranean, Judy Geeson inseminating, frequently shrill, terrifically trashy, scintillatingly splattery, cheerfully cheap-looking off-planet, offal-chomping B-Movie disasterpiece! The boisterously recycled plot is a gleefully gory grab bag of deliciously cliched boldly purloined Sci-Horror tropes, an hysterical hybrid of 50s cut n' paste Drive In goofiness, and outlandish 80s bargain basement grue. Norman J. Warren's glaringly penurious production values being greatly enhanced by scream dream Judy Geeson's bravely unfiltered horror movie histrionics, a bowel-shakingly bravura performance of incandescent insanity which colourfully throws considerable shade on the remainder of the rather prosaic cast, excluding some credible terror thesping from pulchritudinous Hammer Film Icon Stephanie Beacham. 'Inseminoid' is a textbook 'so-bad-it's-good' B-Horror schlocker, its charmingly unsophisticated, frequently hilarious D. I. Y 'Ed Wood Jr does Dr. Who' aesthetic is a genuine joy to behold, and the strident, synth-heavy score by John Scott is a laser bright delight, clearly an influence on the many meticulously 80s mimicking synthwave practitioners of today! 'Inseminoid' impregnates the blackened spaces of your mind with wickedly warped, otherworldly terror!'
