When astronauts investigating Halley’s Comet discover mysterious humanoids aboard an enormous spacecraft, they bring the danger back to Earth. As London descends into chaos, a surviving astronaut and military forces struggle to understand the creatures and stop their spread.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like campy, ambitious 1980s science-fiction horror with bizarre ideas and practical effects; Not for you if you need coherent storytelling, natural performances, or restrained exploitation.
