This deceptively entertaining, competently acted lo-fi /sci-fi thriller by capable film-makers Robert Emenegger / Allan Sandler happily plays out like a doomier, feature-length episode of 'Blake's 7' wherein ominously heavy-breathing, pseudo-anthropoidal Monolith Monsters have done unspeakably alien things to the first and second round of spacers who were tasked to make a comprehensive report on misbegotten planetoid Zeta's suitability for human colonisation. After a prolonged, unsettling radio silence, and fearing the worst, a final, highly-trained 'Suicide squad' arrives at the benighted, far-flung outpost only to soon, er, become the desperate quarry of ferociously flesh-absorbing ambulatory charcoal! Zeta is a truly forbidding environment, seemingly antithetical to organic life, with its excessive gravity, noxious, highly toxic atmosphere, and while its indigenous igneous inhabitants look hella dumb, they are stone cold killers and grimly go through the elite Spacefleet squad like a dose of especially nasty rock salts! Aye! It might be fair to add that the more 'spaced-out' Sci-fanatics of Don Dohler, Norman J. Warren and Fred Olen Ray should deffo dig on 'The Killings at Outpost Zeta', and another grungy, pleasingly minimalist electronic score by Emenegger lends the ambitious, cheap n' cheerful proceedings some additionally zesty Atari 800 groove!
