A 1980's movie where a ship lands on a remote, always-night planet (think the Derelict planet and LV-426 in the Alien franchise) with hidden monsters of various types infiltrating the ship. Said monsters are escapees from 10,000 year old evils in a can left there by aliens. A key scene in this movie takes place in the opening— an earlier ship that lands, and during a photo-op, one of the two spacesuit-clad passengers SITS on one of the sealed evils in a can, with predictable results (specifically, we see a small section of the canister dissolve, and minutes later, he starts convulsing and spitting out mists of blood.)
