Oh, no, I beg to differ!  If you had stayed through, you would have learned
that the place they were at was an alien training facuility(sp?).  The
site was a gigantic complex set up so that anything imaginable was possible.
Moreover, the place analyzed the  fears of anyone who entered, and 
created a reality out of them.  Those who could not overcome their innermost 
fears died by their fears.

You don't follow?  Let me explain:  The starlet you mention was killed
because she was terrified of bugs, and being held captive for all the reasons
that killed her.  The guy with the crystals (Abdulla, we called him) was 
some sort of religious zealot similar to the Jedi Knights(think The Force/
lightsabers).  His greatest fear was that he be betrayed by the thing he 
had the most faith in, namely the crystals.  I can't remember any of the
other people's fears, but they were there. 

If I could see this one again, I would.  Anyway, how can you pass up
such great lines as 'I live and die by the crystals.'
