Lily Cat...
An early release from Streamline was the VHS version of Lily Cat...
Lily Cat is essentially an homage to Alien with shades of the John Carpenter version 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, in the aftermath of the Ultimate Otaku Fall Cleanup, I decided not to keep Lily Cat in my archive. I gave Lily Cat a 3 out of 5.
2064 A.D.: The star ship Saldes is sent into deep space to explore a newly discovered planet (L.A.O. 3). The journey will take twenty years. The Saldes' crew of thirteen, mixing experienced space jockeys with eager but naive scientists, are prepared for anything - except an unseen alien invader with an insatiable appetite. Plus an ominous force which takes over the ship's controls. And two members of the crew turn out to be mysterious impostors. The voyage becomes a grim struggle for survival in a vessel which has become a coffin orbiting the paradise world which was to be its destination.
