In the movie, “On the planet Xarbia, an experimental life-form known as Subject 20 has been created by an elite group of scientists in hopes of preventing a major galactic food crisis. However, instead of prolonging life, Subject 20 is destroying it, and the man-eating organism poses a double threat because it constantly changes its genetic structure.”
Scream Factory is also bringing Corman’s previous Alien knock-off, 1981’s Galaxy of Terror, to 4K UHD on February 11.
