This movie could be looked upon as a re-make of the old 1990's classic 'Alien' with S. Weaver but with a smaller and very tenacious beast! The setting this time is a realistic looking space station and it's lab where the alien comes to life!
The scientists on board seem to have picked up a small insect sized larva from Mars that gradually turns into a small star fish and then an octopus like creature with immense strength as it feeds on the blood and the insides of couple of astronauts! The astronauts try to get rid of it but cannot as the alien creature manages to hide and travel thru the holes and crevices of the space station.
In the end only two earthlings are left alive, along with the alien. I am not sure why the last person survives that alien fish/octopus which chased them around and killed everybody else ? That is the problem with a few sci-fi movies - some of the story is left unsaid! Why is it attracted to the light tube ?
