In the distant future, a federation marshal arrives at a research lab on a remote planet where a genetic experiment has gotten loose and begins feeding on the dwindling scientific group.
These included B.D. Clark’s Galaxy of Terror (1981), which managed to combine the horrors of Alien with the Freudian notion of projected fears taking on their own physical existence from Forbidden Planet (1956), and Allan Holzman’s Forbidden World (aka Mutant) (1982), with its gooey human-alien genetic experiment gone bad.
