"Help Me There!'s An egg in here!"
Ahh, Italian genre work: Always at the cutting edge, so to speak. After Ridley Scott's ALIEN stormed theaters in 1979, rumbled in the Mediterranean climate once the creative machine that would attach to the SF success. Thus, Luigi Cozzis horror flick about green exploding alien eggs not only evaluated under the original title CONTAMINATION, but also as ALIEN ARRIVA SULLA TERRA or ALIEN CONTAMINATION - though none of it such prestigious as the German title: Astaron - BRUT OF TERROR. Scary.
must be fair, be admitted that the film beyond the alien eggs and bursting people not borrowed from Scott's film. The story begins in New York harbor, where a ghost ship enters (which are getting used to, but where only a year left before Fulcis ZOMBIE Lucio already about to arrive is a ghost ship). On board there are a couple of dead bodies that look as if they had exploded from inside, and several pallets of boxes of a coffee factory. In the However, boxes are green eggs, which look a bit like avocado, if not exactly light up from inside and pulsate with strange noise. "Pop," says even the first egg, as it lifts up a member of the quarantine team, and injects toxic mucus explode all around persons whose bodies are now noisy and high blood from within. Well while.
only survived, a police officer, and is immediately shipped off to a fast furnished secret laboratory where a female Colonel (how gendered it? Colonelin? Coloneliese Colonnella?) Named Stella Holmes conduct of investigations. A scientist takes an egg for demonstration purposes a little liquid and injected it into a lab rat, only a few seconds later, just says "pop". The special team will do a little around as ordered and not picked up until then comes the nice police officer with the inspiring thoughts on the Colonelulu, worse than look at the department store where the cargo would have to be executed supplies. Because lying about not only many more eggs, it cavort there, three sinister fellows who only shoot a little on the police and then commit suicide (by shooting on the eggs lying around, then injected the slime on them). Mrs. Holmes arranges with an anxious face, to burn all the eggs with the flamethrower. Suddenly
Coloneleuse has another idea. She recalls that is now working as one of the astronauts of the last Mars mission has something drivelling of eggs (after which it has fought to allow the man to fire by reason of insanity). Uh, Mars mission? But wait! The man, Commander Hubbard lives, now retired and devotes himself to his drinking problem, but Mrs. Colonel him to feel and show him pictures of the eggs. Immediate Flashbacks of a bright glowing cave fall in on the astronauts. "Yes, the eggs I saw were green, just like on your photos," he confirmed, and Colonel Holmes is either too nervous or too polite; for him to point out that the pictures shown are black and white.
After Stella briefly the masculinity of the astronaut in question and geschallert sure he gets one ("Just so we understand each other," he says, after which she smiles with satisfaction: "Yes, we understand us"), travel the two together with the police to South America where the coffee plant is located, has sent the boxes. Once there, is at once a nasty assassination attempt on Colonel Holmes committed: while taking a shower, someone placed a secret Alienei in her bathroom and then closes the door from the outside. Therefore, it rumbles and then to the door and calls, "Help me, in here is an egg," and fortunately the nice astronaut is just passing by and breaks up the door before the egg exploded.
We also see the mastermind of the action: Astronaut Hamilton, who at the time with Hubbard in the Martian cave, later testified that there were no eggs in it, and has since passed away as we have (my summary deceives the causality only before (Siegfried Rauch!) ), and his assistant Perla de la Cruz (Gisela Hahn!). Hamilton gets a headache because he is telepathically connected with the exploding egg, and Perla informed about the fact that they have made a sacrifice for nothing. Tips for growing villains: Guns work faster and more direct than Alien eggs.
Holmes and the police are visiting the coffee factory and can carry around, while astronaut Hubbard with a sport pilot looking at the area and unfortunately crashes. Fortunately, he landed in the field where the alien eggs are grown and can overwhelm one of the men who are just picking at (in exactly such suits, as they have not helped the team in New York and quarantine). Meanwhile - it is dramatic! - Holmes and the cop were captured in a factory. The two are not about killing, but to be picked up by Hamilton himself.
Hamilton: It's time for you to come.
Holmes: Where?
Hamilton: To the cyclops.
Holmes: The cyclops?
Hamilton: Yes. The cyclops.
Oh yes, inside the plant lives a Alienzyklop who performs with his yellow eyes glowing mind control over all who come before him. The cop he also crushed like a tentacle and sucks him then - schlupp! - A. He will also abfrühstücken Colonelly, but since Hubbard appears Perla hostage. Hamilton shoots Perla, and Hubbard for the Cyclops shoots a flare into right eye, after which the coffee export is preparing a quick end - of course not before Hamilton does not explode in very slow motion.
In the excitement we forgot to mention the plan of the Aliens: Like every living thing wants to propagate his species, or at any price. What the entire operation was paid along with several dozen heavily armed Henchmen, we unfortunately do not know - or maybe it was in the factory alongside more established coffee?
"Not a good movie but still hard to resist," writes my trusty dictionary SCI-FI ON TAPE. Nothing to add.
