Stranded (2013) 5/10

Starring : Christian Slater, Brendan Fehr, Amy Matysio, Michael Therriault
Director : Roger Christian
Running Time : 88 mins

A team of astronauts, led by Colonel Gerard Brauchman (Slater), find themselves caught in a meteor shower that damages their moon base and released a deadly gas into their air supply. When crew member Ava Cameron (Matysio) is sent out to repair the damage, she is infected by a spore that impregnates her and she soon gives birth to a shape-shifting beast that takes on the form of one of the crew members and goes on a killing spree.

There is mention in the beginning of this movie that the gas that is escaping into the ship may cause hallucinations, so it would have been nice if the alien turned out to be an hallucination, but at no point does anyone actually have any visions, and the alien turns out to be real. There isn’t even an attempt at double-bluffing the audience. The disappointing lack of special effects aside, this wasn’t the worst movie I’ve ever seen, but the script could have done with some serious tweaking to make the characters a lot more believable.
