Dark Star

Film Description

Carpenter's wonderful feature debut, a hilarious, slacker sci-fi movie shot over three years is an inspiration to any aspiring film maker. Gently mocking the sterile professionalism of 2001, here both crew and ship are falling apart. The psychotic pet beachball alien and a commander who, though dead, still insists on chatting about baseball, hardly help. Dan O' Bannon, inspired as the whining Pinback, went on to write Alien and a first draft of Blade Runner. Quite simply, a classic comedy, irrespective of genre.
