This week’s retro trailer is for the 1981 sci-fi horror thriller Dread Galaxy. The film was directed by Bruce D. Clarkand the film has gained notoriety for its disturbing atmosphere and gruesome scenes, to which it often draws comparisons Ridley Scott’S Alien who preceded him.
The story revolves around the crew of the starship Quest, who are sent by the enigmatic “Planet Master” to the desolate planet Morganthus to rescue survivors from a missing ship. However, upon their arrival, they find the remains of the previous crew and face a series of nightmarish challenges. It becomes apparent that the planet is not what it seems; instead, it manifests an individual’s deepest fears and phobias, forcing them to face them in terrifyingly real scenarios. As crew members are eliminated one by one, they must grapple with their personal demons and discover the true nature of the planet before they all meet their end.
The film, although made on a modest budget, became infamous for its disturbing images and gruesome deaths. The cast included Erin Moran AND Robert Englund. I have a couple of different trailers for you to watch below, one of which was released under the film’s original title Mental distortion. Enjoy!
