Dan also acted in DS, giving its best performance as Pinback who provides the films comedic highlights and makes me wish that he had continued acting. Ironically, O’Bannon worked on Star Wars and claims that the only time he ever saw George Lucas flustered was when he said to him “It was just a beachball!?!” when discussing Dark Stars alien mascot. The movie is a gem and a minor masterpiece of low budget 1970’s Science Fiction, filled with wonderful concepts and ideas filtered through the low-key storytelling and acting, and one of the last of its kind before Star Wars steamrolled the genre into Fantasy under the veneer of Science Fiction. This is probably because Dark Star feels unlike anything else on his resume and that was due to O’Bannon’s influence because, although Carpenter has made some solid movies (including his masterpiece remake of The Thing back in 1982), NOTHING he ever did came up to the idiosyncratic eccentricity of Dark Star. This subdues their instinctual drive to survive which is at the core of all living beings on this planet and without that we become dead both inside and out.Ĭarpenter refuses to talk about the movie and doesn’t acknowledge it amongst his filmographies. Romero took this idea further into another masterpiece, 1978’s Dawn of the Dead, which was set in a shopping mall, a temple of consumerism where the living dead desperately try to break in as the protagonists themselves become listless and bored with the trappings of their possessions which end up owning them. The genius of Romero’s film was that he stripped away the slavery subtext, transplanting them into 1968 America and turned them (technically) into cannibals, who don’t need sustenance for nourishment, suggesting the idea of one being absorbed into a passive emotionless collective of conformity whose only goal is to consume everyone in its path Until All Are One similarly to Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
