Commentary

Lily Cat is essentially a remake of Alien with shades of The Thing. There are some nice effects with mutating creatures, but, it's not all that gory. Some of you, who haven't seen Alien or The Thing, might think that I'm spoiling the ending, but, you should know without having to be told (given the obvious lineage of this title) that almost everyone dies.

I used to have the dubbed VHS version and even though I found it entertaining, I don't think that it's something that I would want to repurchase on DVD. Assuming, that it's even available on DVD.
