10 Amazingly Bad Rip Off Films You've Never Seen

You might expect a movie “presented” by Wes Craven and written by his son to rip off A Nightmare On Elm Street, but you'd be wrong because Mind Ripper just wants to rip off Alien, right down to a scene where characters discuss “the bonus situation.”

The monster here is named THOR (Transmutant Humanoid ORganism), a supersoldier prototype who gets loose and goes berserk inside one of those dimly-lit ultra-secret labs the Army has in the desert. The low budget means that he’s a stunt man in latex make-up, and instead of having acid for blood, he shoots green goo at his victims.

In the Ripley role is a female operative whose ‘story arc’ is that she’s being videotaped in the shower by a colleague, which she doesn’t really mind because he’s kind of cute. Tragically, he’s killed by THOR, but before he buys it he apologizes and says he taped her all those times because he didn’t dare reveal his true feelings.
