I never saw "Dark Star"....will have to look for it. I read you mentioned that you enjoyed "Aliens" more than "Alien"...I did myself. It was a great film but not as scary. It was more fascinating, since you already knew the enemy.

Agreed, Alien WAS much scarier than Aliens. I think they were smart not to try to make the same movie as a sequel and went for a change.

"Dark Star" (1974) was a low budget dark comedy directed by John Carpenter. I do recommend it for any adult, but particularly for any fan of "Alien". Some some there was plagiarism -- some say the "parallels are 'imaginary'. Either way it is fun to consider.
