“The exploding chest scenes are moist, meaty, and muy primo”
– Chas. Balun / The Deep Red Horror Handbook

“Enlivened by an effective score from Dario Argento’s regular accompanists, Goblin”
– Phil Hardy / The Aurum Film Encyclopedia of Science Fiction

“A hilarious hybrid which sucks you in — Strange but satifying”
– Anton Bitel / Movie Gazette

“Luigi Cozzi makes the film hum along with a degree of technical competence”
– Richard Scheib / Moria – The Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review


“New York, 1980. A ship arrives in a harbour with no-one aboard. No-one living, that is. Soon the salvage team discover mangled corpses. They also discover what look like rubbery green eggs. Then they explode. —

Contamination has been described as an Alien rip-off based on the appearance of those eggs — There’s a clear influence from Invasion of the Body Snatchers here — Lucio Fulci’s Zombie Flesh Eaters also comes to mind — It’s an endearing little film, energetic and earnest.” – Jennie Kermode / Eye For Film
