Alien Cargo

About This Movie

Alien Cargo is this curious little gem from 1999 that blends science fiction with that classic TV movie vibe. It follows Chris and Theta, who really do wake up into a nightmare after their hyper-sleep. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it captures that eerie sense of isolation very well. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm that feels very nostalgic. The tension builds as they uncover what's happened on the ship, and there's this underlying theme of trust and survival that keeps the viewer engaged. Jason London and Missy Crider deliver solid performances, adding depth to what could have been a standard space horror flick. It’s a distinctive piece, definitely worth a watch if you enjoy space-set thrillers with a retro feel.
