A group of scientists are conducting dream experiments in an underground lab. They accidentally kill one of the volunteers so the marines get called in. It turns out that the scientists have unleashed a creature from the dream dimension or Shadowzone. The creature fills you with your greatest fears and then destroys you. Soon many victims will wander off down dark hallways in search of their B-movie doom.
Another underground laboratory. Another monster attacking. Another B-movie "Alien" rip-off. Another beautiful naked woman lying in a glass tube. Hey, wait a minute, that's kind of new. Oh no. Wait. That was in "Lifeforce". Oh yeah. But the amount of time this female stays in her test tube is much longer than the naked woman in "Lifeforce". In fact, I would venture to say that "Shadowzone" has the longest scene of a naked woman lying in a glass tube in motion picture history. Now that's good cinema.

The rest of the movie has the monster attacking dolts in fairly regular intervals. "Shadowzone" is entertaining in it's own predictable B-movie way. Unfortunately the monster disturbs the naked woman's slumber and the viewer starts weeping. Don't jostle the tube man! Watching naked Sleeping Beauty was the highlight of the movie. The rest was non-tube related.
SCORE: 2 out of 4 naked women in glass tubes
the gorgeous naked chick reminds me of a young kathleen quinlan, in "twilight zone: the movie" she had the most incredible torso i`ve ever seen.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I saw "Twilight Zone: the movie" but I don't remember Kathleen Quinlan in it. But Quinlan wasn't naked in a glass tube like the "Shadowzone" girl. That's what was lacking from "Twilight Zone".
ReplyDeleteShe was the bird in the 3rd segment who went to the house where all the cartoon characters came to life. And its true, it would have been better if quinlan had appeared naked (in everything she has ever appeared in), there`s just something about that bird she`s always driven me wild (she still does, even though she`s 54).
