Answer
Hi Heen,

I will take a guess say the film you are looking for is 1981's "Galaxy of Terror". The cast is made up of quite a few well-known 'genre' or 'cult movie' actors such as Robert Englund, Sid Haig, Grace Zabriskie, Ray Walston, etc. The film was co-produced by B-movie legend Roger Corman, with Production Design by a young James Cameron (not to mention some uncredited Set Decoration by actor Bill Paxton (!)). See the trivia section at imdb.com.

Plot summary from imdb.com:

"SciFi suspense thriller in which a rescue space ship crew meets up with horrors projected by their own imaginations."

Here is the film's trailer:

The film has not yet been released on DVD, so you might have to score a VHS copy off ebay or Amazon. DVD-R copies I'm sure can also be found on ebay if need be.

Best of luck,
Ryan
