What happens

Dead Space is a 1991 American science-fiction horror film directed by Fred Gallo and produced by Mike Elliott for Roger Corman's Concorde Pictures. It was a remake of Corman's Forbidden World (1982). According to writer Chris Koetting, "The plot was essentially the same— although this time the scientists were trying to find a cure for an AIDS-type virus— but the sex and gore quotient was substantially reduced, and the monster was even less convincing than the one that was fabricated by Steve Neill in 1982."
