    About this product

    Product Information

    John Carpenter's low-budget debut feature is a hilarious romp set in the deepest reaches of outer space. The haggard crew of the dilapidated Dark Star spaceship--Doolittle (Brian Narelle), Boiler (Cal Kuniholm), Pinback (Dan O'Bannon), and Talby (Dre Pahich)--is on an extended mission to seek out and destroy unstable planets. But after 20 years of the same routine, each crewmember is reaching the end of his tether. The journey is fraught with mishaps, and danger seems to lurk around every corner. There are misbehaving pet aliens, suicidal bombs that dream of detonating, frozen crewmates dispensing advice from beyond the grave, and a surly, unhelpful main computer that holds the men it serves in total contempt. Despite all these problems, the crew is still bored to the brink of madness. Co-written by the multitasking O'Bannon, who is also credited as the film's production designer and editor, DARK STAR brims with giddy jabs at the science-fiction genre (including George Lucas's THX 1138), an approach that Mel Brooks would later take in his own sci-fi spoof, SPACEBALLS (1987). In addition to writing, directing, and acting, Carpenter also composed the film's atmospheric score.

      • Top favourable review

        Sci-fi comedy that made me laugh out loud.

        Dark Star is basically a low budget student film but it's still excellent sci-fi on a shoestring budget. It's also funny as hell especially the suicidal AI smart bomb and the beach ball alien scenes.

      • Great direction makes it work

        This is one cool flick, not gonna get acting awards, but you won't forget it. Early John Carpenter as Dir. Special effects are hard to describe, some innovative and some so simple that it'll make you cry. All of it is imaginative and fun and a little scary.

      • If you liked ALIEN, this is the humorous progenitor.

        The film is rather mediocre on the whole, but is quite humorous to the thinker. This film is a must for fans of John Carpenter pictures or Ridley Scott's ALIEN.

      • Best alien ever

        This movie is not for everybody but I really enjoyed it it's the early work of these two college film makers as a college project so they have no budget but if you watch it in the spirit it's intended you will surely enjoy it
