Titan Find (1985, director: William Malone)


Ahh.. I have fond memories of first seeing this via video tape from the local video library. It had a strikingly cool sleeve with a monster on it (always onto a winner in my book). Sure it’s an ‘Alien’ rip off but there were a few back then and this was easily one of the better ones.


A crew of scientists (American, of course) land on a planet in search of artefacts of an unknown origin. It seems the rival German crew landed first which is just as well as they’re all dead-except the late, great Klaus Kinski of course who is on fine pervy form here. Anyway it’s not too long until they discover the beastie responsible and the body count starts tolling up.

This is great fun-and still holds up as being incredibly entertaining. Plus there’s some gore and nudity (always a plus in my book). Check out the head exploding scene.

 This was released in the states under the super lame name ‘Creature’ but us Brits got the better title if you ask me. It’s the one you’re more likely to remember.

Also this has been released in the UK and US on DVD (under those titles individually) but albeit through bootleg  and  with a transfer culled straight from VHS anyway so I have no qualms featuring it on here. Plus how could I not with that awesome sleeve.
