With better-than-expected cinematography by Zoran Hochstätter, and a competent cast ( Porky’s and Night of the Creeps icon Jill Whitlow is frustratingly a “good girl” again-sorry: no nudity, guys), Twice Dead hits what it aims at with a level head, a good sense of humor, and no money. Travis McKenna’s big-īoy Melvin is rammed over and over again by his possessed motorcycle until he’s a bloody pulp Shawn Player’s Stoney gets his head realistically squished by a dumb waiter (the results are shot to look eerily real, like a crime photo) Raymond Garcia’s Cheeta gets electrocuted (with his arm turned into a crispy claw) by a short-circuiting electric blanket, while Charlie Spradling-who very possibly had the most perfect breasts in 80s exploitation cinema-convincingly rides him to earth-shattering orgasm…and death and the gang’s leader involuntarily sprays his brains all over the walls with a possessed shotgun. All very nicely done. The film follows a group of astronauts as they travel to an unch. Once the killings do come, they’re dispatched with healthy brio (and critically, a sense of humor). Dead Space 1989 is a horror SciFi masterpiece that takes you deep into the reaches of space.
