Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Apulia

Alien 2: On Earth is a 1980 Italian science fiction horror film directed by Ciro Ippolito and Biagio Proietti.

Production

The idea for the film came to director Ciro Ippolito after he noticed a poster for Zombi 2 (1979) in Rome. Zombi 2 had been released Italy where it performed well at the box office. While Zombi 2 was presented as a sequel to Dawn of the Dead (1978), Ippolito decided to do a similar move and make a fake sequel film titled Alien 2 to audiences in the wake of the popularity of the film Alien (1979).

Parts of the film were shot in the Castellana Caves in Apulia.

The film features a score by Guido De Angelis and Maurizio De Angelis, performed by the composers under the pseudonym Oliver Onions.
