Creature

Creature is the 1985 rip-off of Alien. It's not like me to say something is a rip-off because I tend to defend monster movies when people accuse them of copying Alien. But Creature was low budget and made right after Alien came out. I can only imagine it was made to cash in on the other movie's success (wait, was The Asylum making movies in 1985?). The "creature" looks just like the alien in Alien, the title is eerily similar, and the plot feels the same. They even cast a Ripley look-alike to kick some creature ass!

The story takes place on Titan, a moon of Saturn. The Germans have already landed on Titan and since they're competing with the USA for technological power, a team of American astronauts follow. The USA team crashes and seek help from the Germans, but they discover the entire German crew has been slaughtered. The astronauts then discover some strange specimens on board the German ship. These strange, small bug-like creatures begin to infest the humans and take over their brains. There's also a bigger creature lurking around (see below). The astronauts and scientists must somehow fix the German ship and escape.
