Dark Star (1974)
Nel XXII secolo l'equipaggio annoiato di un'astronave in missione intergalattica diventa preda di fobie claustrofobiche e di una mascotte aliena che stanno trasportando sul pianeta Terra. 1° film di Carpenter, girato con 60000 dollari ed effetti speciali poveri (curati dall'amico O'Bannon, qui anche interprete e cosceneggiatore), è una space-opera divertente e ingegnosa che esibisce già tutti gli attrezzi del regista.
