ReplyDeleteI love way too many terrible horror films for me to consider my dislike of this film fair at all.
ReplyDeleteIf I gave an artsy, pretentious name to this still, it would be Hubris.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to give a name to this still, it would be "touch of alien creature gives moron scientist ability to survive indefinitely without air."
ReplyDeleteBecause her spacesuit ran out of air immediately before this scene, and she ran back outside immediately after.
Hypersleep gives humans brain damage. It obviously wasn't perfected yet. It is the only logical explanation.
