John Carpenter's (Halloween, The Thing) debut feature, made while he was at film school, is a sci-fi spoof that attracted a huge cult following and launched the career of a cinema legend. Coming to DVD in a special Director's Cut - as well as the original theatrical version.
Dark Star is Carpenter's veiled send-up of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyessy, and follows four jaded astronauts on a mission to clear unstable planets from outer galaxies. But years from Earth, things start to go wrong as a beachball-like alien arrives, one member decides to surf back to Earth, and the toilet paper runs out!
