Was wondering if anyone else had seen this apparently obscure science fiction film in the Alien/s vein. I'd never even heard of it before I read The Void rpg quick start rules where it's listed as one of the game's main inspirations.
The story of two crewmen in a deep space colony ship who wake up from cryosleep with memory loss and are faced with the imminent prospect of the main reactor overloading. Things get worse from there. It's not really a Dark Conspiracy movie although there's a great shot of a futuristic Berlin, loads of Bladerunner style skyscapers towering behind the Brandenberg gate. The monsters infesting the ship are sort of like Morlocks on steroids, (or maybe CoC style ghouls).
Enjoyed it a lot but thought it was spoiled by jumpy MTV style editing which made some of the dialogue and action unclear. Been nice if it'd been directed by someone with a more relaxed style.
