Contamination (1980)

The attack of the Italian outer space avocado monsters. The makers here wanted to rip off Alien, but they couldn’t afford gory exploding bodies and outer space effects. Their compromise: Keep the blood and set the film on Earth where a mysterious boat that holds glowing green alien eggs washes up to New York City. In between the gross-outs, director Luigi Cozzi throws in plenty of long talky scenes among scientists to save more lire. This is a minor sci-fi horror job, most notable for the characteristically pulsating score by Goblin.
