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.

[1] 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.

A spacecraft crewed by Commander Steve Krieger and robot sidekick Tinpan respond to the emergency call from the planet, but their craft is attacked and damaged on the way to Phablos.

The movie is a remake of the 1982, Roger Corman-produced horror film Forbidden World and while there are minor differences, it still retains the original main storyline and character set-up.

[8] Rue Morgue wrote "Marginally slicker than its inspiration but nowhere near as much fun (i.e. less female nudity), Dead Space feels much longer than its 72 minute running time.

Factory released the film on DVD, packaged as a double feature with The Terror Within as part of the Roger Corman's Cult Classics collection.
