Little do they know that it bears home to deadly, flesh-eating creatures, intent on wiping out the entire human population. Can they survive and ultimately prevent Earth's total annihilation? (official distributor synopsis)

John Carpenter drew inspiration from a similar Italian bloodiness, although to a much greater extent, for his film The Thing, but that one is qualitatively on a different level. Plus, I'm not saying he was inspired by this movie. Alien 2: On Earth is not a great film, but I got what I expected from it, and the cave setting was used quite well. It's cheap, it has its flaws, and there are quite a few of them, but the movie doesn't bore and manages to evoke tension.
