LIFE

(15, 104 mins)

RUSSIAN commander Katerina Golovkin leads the six-strong international team of the Mars Pilgrim 7 Mission. One soil sample from Mars contains a single-celled lifeform – nicknamed Calvin – which responds to glucose stimulation. Alas, Calvin grows in size at a ferocious rate and eventually attacks one astronaut. Alarm bells sound and remaining crew pool resources to exterminate Calvin before the fully grown creature can escape the space station and descend on Earth.
