brandonearly, United States of America (Reviewer Ranking: 10) wrote this review on September 26, 2012:
Italian filmmakers made a veritable cottage industry out of riding the coattails of American made box office successes throughout the 1970s and 80s. The Exorcist (1973) begat Beyond The Door (1974), Jaws (1975) begat Great White (1980), and Alien (1979) begat Contamination (1980). Curiously, director Luigi Cozzi perceives Contamination as being a riff on Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, but the distinction is specious. Contamination was released in the wake of the massive worldwide success of Alien, and it made extensive use in its advertising of its images of pulsating alien eggs. It\'s a very real possibility that Cozzi is just being disingenuous. Either way, Contamination is a hoot.
Starring Ian McCulloch (Zombie) and featuring a pounding score by Goblin, Contamination starts strong, ends strong, and probably won\'t completely put you to sleep in the middle. Even if you do begin to feel groggy, hang in there for the reveal of the cyclopean, paper mache alien overlord at the movie\'s conclusion. Only the Italians can make formaggio of this caliber. Blue Underground\'s restoration from the original vault negative reinstates the gory, gut-busting FX excised worldwide for Contamination\'s theatrical releases, making this the definitive cut of the movie.
