Two spaceships--the ''Argos'' and ''Galliott''--piloted by HumanAliens have been sent to investigate signals received from the fogbound planet of Aura. After both ships are forcibly pulled down to the surface of the planet, various crewmembers appear to go mad and attack each other. Captain Mark Markary is able to restore order, but it's only the beginning of a terror from which he fears none of them may escape.

''Planet of the Vampires'' (Italian: ''Terrore nello spazio'', e.g. 'Terror in Space') is a 1965 SciFiHorror film directed by Creator/MarioBava, and co-produced by Italian International Film and Creator/AmericanInternationalPictures. It has been cited (along with ''Film/Shivers1975'' and ''Film/ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace'') as an influence on ''Film/{{Alien}}'' (note the scene where they explore a derelict alien spacecraft and find the skeleton of giant alien crewmember).
Two spaceships--the ''Argos'' and ''Galliott''--piloted by HumanAliens have been sent to investigate signals received from the fogbound planet of Aura. After both ships are forcibly pulled down to the surface of the planet, various crewmembers appear to go mad and attack each other. Captain Mark Markary is able to restore order, but it's only the beginning of a terror from which he fears none of them may escape.
----
!!This movie has the following tropes:
* AerithAndBob: In the English dub we have characters called Bert and Brad.
* AsteroidThicket: By the time they arrive in orbit around Aura the expedition has clocked 999 meteors that didn't hit them, thanks to the Meteor Rejector.
* BedsheetGhost: An InSpace variation--when the slab is pulled off Bert's empty grave his plastic burial shroud flies out due to the difference in air pressure, to Tiona's shock.
* BeneathTheMask: While in private Captain Markary confides his fears to his CaptainsLog.
-->"A captain...should not be afraid. And I confess now, [[ApocalypticLog to whoever may hear this]], that today, now, I...am experiencing fear. I must not let my crew know this. I must keep them busy. I must not let them know that the situation appears more hopeless with each passing day."
* CommLinks: The crew use a wrist-mounted VideoPhone.
* CoverMe: Tiona and Dr. Karan are left to cover the retreat from the ''Galliott'' but end up getting killed by the pursuing aliens. [[spoiler:It's AllForNothing as the people they were protecting had already been possessed, which was foreshadowed when they rushed on board without waiting to cover their comrades in turn.]]
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:The captain of the ''Galliott'' and one of his crew are discovered wandering around on the planet. For some reason the ship's doctor doesn't examine them for injuries, so they only find out they're alien {{meat puppet}}s when they try to grab Captain Salis and his jacket rips away to show his decaying body.]]
* DeflectorShields: The spaceships use a Meteor Rejector to get through the AsteroidThicket surrounding the planet. It becomes a plot-point when the Aurans steal it (the Meteor Rejector on the ''Galliott'' has been destroyed) to force the crew of the ''Argos'' to surrender or be marooned. The ''Argos'' crew then has to raid the ''Galliott'' to steal it back.
* DistressCall: The Aurans admit they sent out the signals to lure intelligent life in the hope of escaping their dying world.
* DontTouchItYouIdiot: While on the alien ship, Sanya points out a button that gave her a shock. Her captain then touches it himself. Unsurprisingly, he gets shocked.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Captain Markary and Sanya escape the planet, but are revealed to have been possessed by the Aurans. Wess dies while sabotaging the Meteor Rejector so they can't invade his own world, so the Aurans decide to [[HereWeGoAgain make a new home]] on an InsignificantBluePlanet in the Sol system.]]
* DwindlingParty: In the end only three of the ''Argos'' crew make it off the planet.
-->'''Capt. Markary:''' One entire crew lost; two of our own crew gone. Bert dead, Eldon disappeared. And this unknown enemy keeps getting closer!
* FingerTwitchingRevival: As a nurse does the paperwork for a seemingly dead patient, his eyes open for a quick peek, then his fingers start to twitch...but quickly stop when someone else enters the room.
* GravitySucks: The ''Argos'' is exposed to 40g's of force while being pulled down to the planet--which should have killed them, as their doctor points out.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: During the raid on the ''Galliott'', Tiona looks at her captain as he struggles to disconnect the Meteor Rejector instead of facing the door, enabling one of the aliens to sneak up and jab a ray gun in her back.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Wess is electrocuted destroying the Meteor Repeller. It's implied that someone on the ''Galliott'' did the same, preventing the Aurans from using that vessel. Unfortunately this only stops the Aurans returning to their own planet, which was doomed anyway.]]
* HighCollarOfDoom: Not [[ClassicalMovieVampire worn by the vampires this time]], but by the crew as part of their SpaceClothes, presumably to establish an air seal around the neck when they put on a space helmet.
* IfIDoNotReturn: Captain Markary tells the others to take off if he's not back 45 seconds after blowing up the ''Galliott''.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Markary tries this after encountering his younger brother, but [[MeatPuppet the alien possessing his corpse says he's wasting his time]]. So Markary just [[{{Kneecapping}} shoots him in the legs]].
* InsignificantBluePlanet: Earth is so insignificant it isn't on the astronavigation charts.
* ItWontTurnOff: Markary is disturbed by the [[BlackSpeech words of the alien]] on what appears to be a CaptainsLog, so ends up smashing the console when he can't turn it off.
* JustOneSecondOutOfSync: The Aurans are EnergyBeings who exist "on a different plane of vibrations". They look like globes of light that appear to vanish when looked at directly.
* LetsSplitUpGang: The characters keep doing this!
** Eldon is left to guard the ''Galliott'' while the others go back for cutting equipment. Presumably Captain Markary thought at the time that the journey across the lava field was more dangerous, but he had the personnel to leave someone with him.
** Bert is standing guard beneath the ''Argos'' with a second guard, but [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy each of them are out of sight of the other]].
--->'''Cptn. Markary:''' ''(while burying Bert)'' Rest easy, Bert. I'm sorry we weren't around to help you.
** Carter is left on guard outside the alien spacecraft. By the time Markary and Sanya emerge, he's vanished.
** Averted when one man is left outside to cover Markary and Sanya when they enter the ''Galliott''. He's still there when they emerge, though is killed in the subsequent melee.
* MeatPuppet: The Aurans can control the bodies of the dead, and take over living people [[NeverSleepAgain when they're asleep]].
* MenAreTheExpendableGender: It looks like it's going to be played straight until Tiona gets killed during the final act.
* {{Microts}}:
-->'''Brad:''' In sixty fractions of megon, we'll start the landing manoeuvre.
* NoSoDifferentRemark: One of the Aurans says their murderous actions are no different from what the protagonists would do to save their own species from destruction.
* NotHimself: Every time someone starts talking in a stilted manner (and for those already dead, walking in a ZombieGait), you know they've been possessed by the aliens.
* OminousFog: Aura is shrouded in a fog that even infrared lasers have trouble piercing. According to the director this was to obscure the NoBudget set rather than for horror reasons.
* OurDoorsAreDifferent: The doors on the alien spacecraft are round and are opened when a tuning fork makes the correct sound.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: For one thing, they're more like zombies.
* PlotDemandedManualMode: As the crew can barely move under the crushing G's, Markary edges a hand to switch over to manual, assuming his spacecraft has gone out of control. However at the last moment [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou they land without problems]].
* PuppeteerParasite: The Aurans are compared to parasites, to which they respond by claiming that--if the subject is willing--it's actually a SymbioticPossession.
* TheRadioDiesFirst: The first sign that something has gone wrong is when the ''Galliott'' is cut off in the midst of a completely innocuous conversation.
* RayGun: Played straight with the "field ray guns" used by the protagonists.
* RibcageRidge: Giant skeletons of the crew of the alien spacecraft are found.
* RiseFromYourGrave: First the grave markers topple, then the corpses throw aside the metal slabs covering their graves and tear off their plastic burial shrouds.
* StarshipLuxurious: The ''Argos'', the ''Galliott'', and the alien derelict all have spacious interiors.
* TechnoBabble: Fortunately only in the early part of the movie to establish the sci-fi setting.
* TraitorShot: When they first wake up after crashlanding, an alien-possessed Sanya and Bert exchange a MeaningfulLook before attacking Captain Markary.
* TwoKeyLock: Red and green magnetic keys are needed to open the safe holding the atomic detonators, held by the captain and his second officer.
* WhamLine: [[spoiler:"Mark...''(Sanya turns her gun on Wess)'' Wess has found out about us."]]
* YouHaveToBelieveMe
** After seeing several dead crewmembers locked inside the bridge, Captain Markary leaves a man on guard and goes back to get cutting equipment to break through the hatch. When he returns the guard has disappeared, the hatch is unlocked, and [[ItWasThereISwear all the bodies have disappeared]]. Dr. Karan argues that they hallucinated, but they quickly find blood to prove their story.
** Tiona [[FaintInShock faints]] on seeing Bert standing in front of her, but when the others rush back Bert is lying on the AutoDoc slab. She eventually convinces the captain to open his grave, which is empty.
