After a crew of astronauts fail to return from their deep space mission, worried psychic Thelma Joyce (Belinda Mayne) heads down to the beach to go spelunking with her husband Roy (Mark Bodin) and their friends. After a night in the caves, the group are attacked by a malevolent alien creature that violently dispatches their friend Jill (Judy Perrin) by attaching itself to her face. As the rest of the group desperately try to get out of the cave and escape with their lives, they soon discover there are more aliens waiting to attack... (88 Films)

John Carpenter drew inspiration from a similar Italian bloodiness, although to a much greater extent, for his film The Thing, but that one is qualitatively on a different level. Plus, I'm not saying he was inspired by this movie. Alien 2: On Earth is not a great film, but I got what I expected from it, and the cave setting was used quite well. It's cheap, it has its flaws, and there are quite a few of them, but the movie doesn't bore and manages to evoke tension.
