Legitimately sounds like a movie/series that would get torn apart on MST3K.
And have an asylum knockoff series called
Space Monster

I always chuckled seeing their knock off of AvP in the video store.
That alien doesn't look so much worse than some that have appeared in the actual series since then

Wonderfully terrible
O'Bannon pitched it to the studios as "Jaws in space"

He’s so damn lucky they got Ridley Scott to direct - when Ridley was still a good director. He’s hit and miss but during Alien he was on fire and made a classic for the ages.

That’s what it would’ve been called if directed by Roger Corman.
