This is a fun movie. Low budget but imaginative.
Imagine 2001 made by Samuel Beckett and you’re pretty close. It’s dry, cynical, and has a lot to say about how boring space can be.
Carpenter’s student film. Not exactly on par with his later stuff but nevertheless fascinating
It's a really good movie for the budget it had, the ending was excellent!
Super weird sci fi film. This feels like a college film because it essentially is but it’s Carpenter, so it’s worth watching at least once
I still find myself singing Benson Arizona from time to time as I plummet further towards death.
A nice low budget movie that on Carpenter fans willingly sit trough. Get that Beach Ball!
Don't think!! John Carpenter's school sci-fi film is meant for stoners. I love it every time I watch it.
Pretty funny! Low budget early Johnson Carpenter SciFi.
Beach ball alien. That's all that needs to be said!
