Additional Information
The first film from John Carpenter is a hilarious romp in a not-so-glamourous spaceship into the outer reaches of space. A team of astronauts manning the beat-up spaceship Dark Star are on a mission across the universe to seek out and destroy unstable planets. The journey is wrought with mishaps and danger seems to come from the most unexpected places. There are misbehaving pet aliens, suicidal bombs that see no reason to live and want to blow themselves up, frozen crewmates dispensing advice from beyond the grave and a surly, unhelpful main computer that holds the men it serves in total contempt. Despite all these problems, the crew is still bored to the brink of madness. Co-written by Dan O'Bannon, who would go on to write the script for ALIEN, the film is brimming with jabs at the science fiction genre. John Carpenter cut his directing teeth on this film, which he also co-wrote. Made while Carpenter was a college student and produced for very little money, DARK STAR is considered to be the most successful student film ever made.

  • ALIEN ANTICS

    Early John Carpenter movie. Think Red Dwarf meets Blake's 7 meets Alien. Very cheap looking but that is in it's favour. You'll love it or hate it, ha ha.

  • Dark Star: 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition

    Originally a 16mm film-school project for John Carpenter and Dan O’Bannon, Dark Star transformed into a 35mm feature when Hollywood chucked money at it. The tale of a quartet of stir-crazy spacemen in the middle of a 20-year mission, Carpenter’s slackers-in-space debut riffs on everything from Star Trek to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Thirty years on, it’s as influential as it was influenced, furnishing Douglas Adams with his best ideas for The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy and nudging Kevin Smith in the general direction of Clerks. The special effects are, as you’d expect, patchy, but the corkscrew humour – talking bombs, beachball aliens, astro surfers – hasn’t dated a jot. A sci-fi spoof that’s not just funny but clever, too.

  • Dark Star (DVD 2004)

    Anyone in to wacky sci-fi will love this film To me it is completely nostalgic as watched it over and over again when first had a video recorder. Don't take it too seriously and you will love it.m look out for the orange blob and the frozen captain of the ship. Great classic humour.

  • love it

    What can I tell you? it's a classic. Retro, low budget, and one of my all-time favourite comedy movies. Bob.
