Shocking Dark (also known as Terminator II, Alienators and Contaminator) is a 1989 Italian science fiction film written by Claudio Fragasso and directed by Bruno Mattei.
Background
Despite the film's original title and artwork presenting it as a sequel to 1984 film The Terminator, it is not officially associated with that film. The plot has more in common with the 1986 film Aliens.[1] The year after Mattei's film came out, Terminator 2: Judgment Day (the official Terminator sequel) was released. The film was never released in the United States under its original title due to licensing problems.

Release
In Late 2006, Terminator II (unofficial) was in a double feature with director Bruno Mattei, with his other "unofficial" sequel, Goonies II.[citation needed]
Critical reception
Den of Geek said "In 1989, Italian Director Bruno Mattei made an amalgam of Aliens and The Terminator. We look back at a wonderfully bad film."[citation needed]
