Inseminoid

Boasting a strong female cast, including Judy Geeson, Stephanie Beacham and Victoria Tennant and co-financed by Run Run Shaw of the Shaw Brothers, Inseminoid is among Norman J Warren’s most widely seen films… and his most infamous. Once listed as a ‘video nasty’, this science-fiction horror concerns a small crew of scientists who are terrorised by a creature on a distant planet. Comparisons with Ridley Scott’s Alien have been ever-present, though Inseminoid has a charm all of its own – it may not have the gloss or the budget, but it’s certainly a great deal of fun.
