Roots Search1xvhssub

rootsearchOn the satellite based Tolmekius Research Institute, scientists are abuzz over the tremendous psychic powers of Moria, an otherwise normal - though quite attractive - female specimen.

Only moments after a particularly vivid horrific vision, Moria and the rest of the crew find their ship in alarm mode. Exploring a passing ship whose close proximity is thought to be the cause of the disturbance, Moria beholds an all too familiar gruesome slaughter. She knows at once, that the force that they are up against is far more powerful, and certainly more treacherous than just a runaway spaceship !

In fact, an alien has invaded this ship, and is slithering into the minds of the surviving crew members one by one. There, this alien imparts a deluge of painful remembrances upon its victims, before effecting a devastating and fatal blow as an end to the nightmare.

The mood of the survivors crosses unknown boundaries of terror, as they realize the alien continues to accumulate victims, despite the crew having ejected their attacker into deep space !

Now, only Moria, with her keen psychic ability, is capable of coping with the merciless psuonic powers of this alien intruder. In a final desperate quest to cease the systematic elimination of those around her, she learns something that cannot possibly be true. Could it be that this seemingly vulgar and ruthless being is acting in the name of God ? And if it is, then what is the fate of Moria, and the wounded crew member with whom she has fallen in love ?

Commentary

In this, yet another tribute to the Alien franchise, watch the staff of a satellite based research center get picked-off one by one, by an alien with psychic powers. Only Moria, a powerful telepath, stands in its way. There's some gore, but, beyond that there's not much else of interest. I used to have the subtitled VHS version.
