Galaxy of Terror

=====

Make no mistake this is definitely what was once termed a 'B' movie.
Right from the start you can see you're going to get no more and no less than a low budget, shakily written and poorly edited special effects movie.
I use the word special effect in its broadest sense.

A rescue spaceship is traversing across space in answer to a distress call sent out by another of their fleet when they encounter a strange pyramidical shape.
They begin to see and experience their deepest and darkest fears as horror upon horrors begin to materialise and slowly wear them down and mentally destroy them.

What must discover what is inside the pyramid and destroy it. This becomes their mission but how they achieve it and at what cost to the crew slowly becomes apparent.

Actually surprised me this film and at only 81 minutes you won't be bored. Sure the acting is poor, the dialogue awful and the special effects are anything but special but you might just enjoy this yourself.
The bit where a woman is raped by a giant worm was a bit sicky but otherwise, it's, well just ok.

Does exactly what it says on the tin, after all it is a 'B' movie.
