There's a kind of perverse marketing genius at work in this cheesy sci-fi hit from 1995 in which scientists create a half-human, half-alien woman named Sil (Natasha Henstridge) who's capable of morphing from a slimy, tentacled creature into a blonde babe with the body of a Playboy centerfold. This makes it easy for Sil to lure gullible guys who are only too willing to indulge her voracious mating urge, realizing too late that sex with Sil is anything but safe. As the body count rises, a handpicked team of specialists tracks the alien's killing spree, but their diverse expertise is barely a match for the ever-morphing Sil. Borrowing elements of the Alien movies (including bizarre alien designs by Swedish artist H.R. Giger) and spicing them up with some tantalizing nudity, Species is a wet dream for creature-feature fans--kind of like watching a sci-fi vampire fantasy while browsing through the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. --Jeff Shannon

Description

When a beautiful human-alien hybrid (Natasha Henstridge) escapes from observation, scientist XavierFitch (Ben Kingsley) dispatches a crew of experts to find her before she is able to fulfill her horrific purpose: to mate with unsuspecting men and produce offspring that could destroy mankind. As her deadly biological clock ticks rapidly, Fitch and his team are hurled into a desperate battle in which the fate of humanity itself hangs in the balance!

Fast Paced Junk.......2007-09-09

I think "Species" moves at a fast clip before it becomes edvident that it's a piece of junk. The performances are stilted (considering the cast of normally fine actors)and there is a particularly cruel sequence involving a kidnapped woman and her eventual fate. Ironically the actress playing the abducted woman gave the best performance in the film.

Blu-ray Quality Review.......2007-06-11

While the film itself is a love it or hate hit kind of thing (as far as the story and actors and whatnot), I would like to rate the actual quality of the disk and what separates it from the dvd version.

The Blu-ray version of this movie is much better than all the other version. Better quality images, better quality sound, and you even get a cool glimpse into Giger's creative process with a extra on the blu-ray that shows him creating the "evil train" sequence.

Personally, I liked the movie - but I think what most people want to know is, is it worth buying the blu-ray version vs. the dvd version and the answer to that question is DEFINATELY!

Lousy plot and bad acting.......2006-10-26

This movie has the plot of a porno. If you evaluate this movie as a porno, then it's lousy because there isn't much there. If you evaluate it any other way then it's also lousy. The plot of the movie is that a woman is an alien on a hunt for men to mate with, and she kills a fair number of them. Lots of car crashes and helocopter chases.

A good, but derivative piece of sci-fi/horror fluff.......2006-08-07

1995's Species was a studio's attempt to replicate the start of a new sci-fi/horror franchise like the one begun by Ridley Scott's Alien. Roger Donaldson was tapped to direct this attempt with a cast that included Sir Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, Marge Helgenberger, Forrest Whitaker and Alfred Molina. The lucky gal who gets to play the role of Sil --- the half-alien, half-human hybrid --- fell on the stunning and gorgeous shoulders of Natasha Henstridge.

Species pulls from so many different sci-fi/horror films and shows from the past that it's hard to find anything original in the story. There's stuff from Alien, The Hidden, and even some episodes of The X-Files. The one original twist in this derivate film was the plot of an alien race sending over the genetic markers of its race and instructions on how to recombine it with human DNA to create a form of hybrid. Why the scientists decided to go through with such a seemingly dangerous task is known only to the writer who put pen to paper to create the screenplay. The acting by the select group of experts (Madsen, Helgenberger, Molina, Kingsley and Whitaker) are ok enough and none embarrass themselves in the end. Henstridge does a fine job of being sexy and hot. It helped that she pretty much was naked through most of the film, or at least put herself in situations to be naked.

The art design of Sil as the evolved alien hybrid came courtesy of the great Swiss surrealist, H.R. Giger who also did the design for the alien creature in Alien. Giger's biomechanical designs have always been disturbing and beautiful at the same time and he didn't disappoint with his design of Sil. If there was a quibble on Sil's final design it was that it still resembled abit too much of the alien design in Ridley Scott's Alien. But it was still great to see H.R. Giger still creating such wonderful artwork and designs for people to see. His popularity has always been mostly composed of the elite circles of the artworld and those small, loyal art groups with a penchant for the surreal, weird and disturbing.

In the end, Species was a good sci-fi/horror that didn't bore too much and for those who enjoy their gore this film had its equal share of the red stuff. Gratuitious nudity and sex from Natasha Henstridge as Sil the alien hybrid and the excellent designs from H.R. Giger gives this film enough good things to look at. It doesn't bring anything new and pretty much reuses alot of other things from other movies, but Species was good enough albeit derivative of better past films and shows.

Not just stupid, but predictable & boring.......2006-01-08

I can only imagine that the 4 & 5 star reviews for the stinker of a movie are coming from adolescent boys who are still enthralled by the nekkid alien/human hybrid who apparently can't be bothered by the inconvenience of clothing. As for the rest of us, the pervasive nudity will cease to be novel after the first 5 minutes or so. What we are left with is a lame & predictable paint-by-numbers horror flick which apparently wants to be "Alien," but seems content merely to steal liberally from an infinitely better movie.

This is so predictable that you could stop watching after the first hour, but why would you want to waste that first precious hour anyway? Just avoid the whole thing unless you are just now reaching puberty.

Alien Nation: They get drunk on sour milk. They have two hearts and bald, spotted heads. They're highly intelligent, but if you drop them in seawater they'll melt into a puddle of goop. They're "Newcomers," and they arrived as refugees in a massive alien slave-ship, quarantined for three years and then reluctantly accepted as citizens of Earth. To some humans--including seasoned Los Angeles cop Matt Sykes (James Caan)--the Newcomers are unwelcome "slags." Sykes's own virulent "speciesism" intensifies when Newcomer thugs kill his partner, but he sees logic in teaming up with Sam Francisco (Mandy Patinkin), the first Newcomer detective in the LAPD. Francisco's Newcomer knowledge is vital to their investigation of an alien drug ring, and a friendship grows from life-or-death circumstances.

A routine cop thriller with a comedic sci-fi twist, Alien Nation has two things working in its favor: Caan and Patinkin form a memorable duo, and the basic premise--as conceived by Rockne S. O'Bannon (who later developed the film as a TV series)--intelligently accounts for the sociological impact of an alien population. The subtle point is made that humans are extraordinary beings who squander their potential, and the evil of drugs--as dealt by a social-climbing Newcomer played by Terence Stamp--leads to a crisis that threatens to generate global intolerance. These points are well presented in a context of overly familiar plotting and standard-issue sarcasm. It's entertaining for a brisk 90 minutes, but in its attempt to be widely appealing, Alien Nation glosses over issues that might have made it more uniquely provocative. --Jeff Shannon

Enemy Mine: Lizard-like Draconian Louis Gossett Jr. and his mortal enemy, earthling Dennis Quaid, crash-land on a hostile planet during a brutal space battle. Forced to rely on one another for survival, they overcome their differences and become fast friends. You can almost hear them break into an off-key version of "It's a Small World." German director Wolfgang Petersen, so brutally honest with his film Das Boot, turns warm and cuddly on us with this intergalactic buddy movie. Much of the problem, though, is that the script sets us up for an intriguing encounter, then settles for a simple and sentimental resolution. Noteworthy set design and strong performances, especially by Gossett, push this beyond mere mediocrity. His performance is fascinating, as he must speak in an alien tongue, which he maintains with artistry and consistency. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Alien Nation is actually a good movie... I really enjoyed it... It was a bit like the days of the "X" files movies... It was good to watch. Enemy Mine is a fantastic Movie... I can watch this one over and over again.. Its really well made and Dennis Quaid is a little Hottie in it, I think its prob his best movie.. Its a movie you can watch anytime.

This is a good combo if you are into aliens and space movies. Although my children were not born when they made these they still enjoyed the movies. It is fun watching the reaction on the faces who are seeing the movie for the first time. I recommend this for family night.

If Species 3 lacks the star power of its previous incarnations - mostly notably Natasha Henstridge, whose participation here is relegated to a cameo - the movie succeeds in delivering lean, mean B-movie thrills by paring down the franchise's premise to its most exploitable elements - copious nudity and gore. Henstridge's voracious alien/human hybrid Eve dies gruesomely in the film's opening moments, but not before giving birth to an infant, who is rescued by a college professor (Robert Knepper) and grows into the pulchritudinous form of Sunny Mabrey. Unfortunately, she proves to be her mother's daughter in every way by setting out to mate with--and kill--any male unlucky enough to cross her path. While a definite step down in terms of plot and performance quality, Species 3 has glimpses of atmosphere and suspense in addition to the blood and skin shows, and makes good use of H.R. Giger's unsettlingly sensuous creature design, which should please franchise fans, gore hounds, and omnivorous sci-fi viewers. --Paul Gaita

Description

it was OK, nothing all that special.......2007-08-13

Despite some of the =other= reviews i've read on this movie, i wasn't all that "thrilled" with this movie. Esp because of it being the "unrated" edition, for those of us seeking a cheap thrill, it was far more of a tease than anything particularly hot or erotic in terms of what it delivered, IMO. It could have been done SO MUCH BETTER than the final result. O well...you pays your money, you takes your chances.

best one yet........2007-06-25

species 3 is the best in the series. sexy and exciting and with a great story. cant wait for number 4.

Best of the series.......2006-09-08

This is the best of the trilogy. I believe this is a straight to video release but it is better than the usual of its ilk. The main reason being Ameilia Cooke's gas station scene.....

Just not very interesting.......2006-05-20

So this time we've got a new alien, played by Sunny Mabrey. She's being raised by a college professor who spirited her away from the government just after the end of the last movie. But there are also half-breed aliens, and they want to mate with her because their genes are all screwed up and they're dying from a whole host of diseases. When one of them shows up at the college professor's office and dies, he calls in help from a brilliant grad student. Soon, the alien starts to have "feelings" for this student, and the half-breed aliens attack.

This just wasn't terribly interesting, even for a direct-to-video movie. The story didn't have much forward momentum to it and the conclusion was fairly unsatisfying. The inclusion of the half-breed aliens didn't really serve any purpose except to put a stumbling block in front of the professor and his little science project. As far as the characters, the hot babe alien didn't have any emotions, so that pretty much wrote her out of the story. The professor and his student were just not very well developed and din't have any sort of personality traits that separated them from any other generic movie character. The whole thing left me uninterested. The worst part was there didn't seem to be any point to the story - what was the professor trying to do with the alien? This was never made clear, so when it wasn't successful, well, who cares?

Considering all the attention given to this being "unrated", it really didn't have any more gore or nudity than an average R rated movie.

Let's Try It Again.......2005-11-29

First there was Sil. Then we had her duplicate Eve. Now we have Eve's daughter Sara. Sara is closer to alien than her predecessors and is the charge of a university professor. He is trying to analyze her DNA and create and even more perfect creation. We also have a number of Hybrids (although Sil, Eve and Sara are also hybrids) who have agendas of their own.

As Sara matures her need to breed kicks in but she is unique and needs another with her level of alieness. The professor takes on a student researcher to assist in his plans. Although it is easy to learn from past mistakes, it is not easy to predict new ones and things begin to get out of hand. Soon there are bodies to be hidden and aliens to deal with as well as the government once they manage to find out what is going on.

This one lacks the feeling and menace of the earlier films and is far more upbeat. It is a different story from the first two and there is no explanation for the proliferation of the hybrids. All in all it is not what one would look for if you wanted more of the same. While different in many ways there is still good alien action and plenty of nudity like the original. But if you want a development and not just a continuation, then you might really enjoy this one. With a young protagonist this one should appeal to a different audience.

"They could f**k the human race out of existence!" warns Michael Madsen in this inevitable--and inevitably contrived--sequel to 1995's surprise sci-fi hit. He's referring to a celebrated astronaut (Justin Lazard) infected with alien DNA from his history-making Mars landing, and the half-alien Eve (Natasha Henstridge), who was created from alien-human embryo splicing by biochemist Dr. Laura Baker (Marg Helgenberger) in an effort to discover the alien species's vulnerabilities on Earth. While the astronaut sows his gruesomely wild oats with doomed women (resulting in a bevy of creepy kids in alien cocoons), Eve goes into heat until she and the astronaut can consummate their procreative lust. Sex and death are served up like money-shots in a porno flick, with an emphasis on gory flesh-regeneration, explosive pregnancies, and slimy-tentacled intercourse. All of which makes this is the kind of derivative schlock that only a true fan could love, but it's boosted to a tolerable level of entertainment by the returning cast (Madsen, Henstridge, and Helgenberger) from the previous film. --Jeff Shannon

Description

Having just returned from a mission to Mars, Commander Ross (Justin Lazard) isn't exactly himself. He's slowly becoming a terrifying alien entity with a one track mindto procreate with human women! When countless women suffer gruesome deaths after bearing half-alien offspring, scientist Laura Baker (Marg Helgenberger) and hired assassin Press Lennox (Michael Madsen) use Eve (Henstridge), a more tempered alien clone, to find Ross and his virulent brood. But they underestimate Eve's maternal drive, and before long she escapes to mate with Ross in order to create a purer and unstoppable race that could spell doom for mankind. As time is running out, the ultimate battle of human brain over alien brawn takes place in a chilling climax that puts Darwin's theory to the ultimate test and only the strongest species will survive.

Technical Defects Abound.......2006-01-31

I did not see the prequel and got this video at a garage sale. I was diappointed. The script had some technical defects, like the Eve being contained in isolation so that she avoids "contact with males" so as to not have her sexual nature stimulated, but she is allowed to watch the "Dukes of Hazard" on TV! There is also a scene where she breaks out of her confinement clearly wearing an item of clothes that does not appear in another scene and with no time in between to change her clothes to explain it (there is only a chase scene inbetween). It was also hard to believe that the main character could have his memory intact after his head gets blown off completely and a new head replaces it. I find it hard to suspend disbelief when these kinds of inconsistencies appear in a movie. It also makes me feel that some unnecessary sloppiness went into the production. The special effects were decent but very gory. There is something strangely comedic about the sexual scenes in the middle of all the gore and tentacles, but I do not think it was intended. If it was a comedy, the gore made it hard to take it on this level.

The movie director must have had some bad days........2006-01-14

My guess is, that the director has said, right before he started the movie; "Okay we have a okay budget, access to some.. sometimes okay special effects and some okay good actresses, but you have to do your job just as bad as the story is and if you have anything clever to say about making the movie good, then please leave".

I just don't get it! It would be so easy to make a good movie out of it! Well first of all, you probably have to a get little different version of the story and another movie director...but it would be so easy!

Just a thing like this! Eve want's to escape, so she jumps through the prison window. Okay Miss Eve is well powerfull, but she doesn't have to be, because it isn't made of bullet-proof Plexiglas. Nope, it explodes in thousands like very thin glass. Noooo it can be glass because they can't be so naïve in military security. But bullet-proof glass doesn't explode, so it must be a bad movie director!

I'm from Baltimore,where the movie took place.......2005-12-13

If you have noticed,the movie takes place in Baltimore,MD.There is a scene where they are at Mondawmin Mall outside Downtown.But the movie was still good.My opinion is that he should not have tried to think of it anyway.Who would want to be a female alien's wife anyway by having sex?

Good cheese.......2005-11-20

One night, while flipping through the channels I came across this movie. I had no idea what it was. Aliens were popping out of people's stomachs, but all the characters approached the threat as if it were a big joke. Honestly, I thought it was a comedy until the commercial came on and revealed that it was Species II.

From the special effects, you can tell a lot of work went into it, but it comes across more as a comedy. None of the actors are serious. Overall, the entire movie is pretty cheesy. But it's good cheese. If you're looking for hot girls, lots of killing, and a bit of comedy- then I'd say watch this movie. It's a b-movie, but a good one at those standards.

This Species is NOT the fittest.......2005-09-10

It's more madcap fun with those mate/murder clone-aliens. Having barely learned their lesson in the first "Species" movie (hey, I like Natasha Henstridge, but there are some things even the ROTTEN REVIEW won't stand for) scientists led by Dr. Baker (Marg Helgenberger) clone another beautiful (possibly homicidal) human/alien hybrid. Named Eve, she isn't so much especially nicer than her predecessor, Syl, as simply docile - "confirmed" by her lighter hair color and the fact that she's kept away from men. Having already proven they can clone human/alien hybrids, the scientists relentlessly torture Eve in hopes of finding an effective weapon against her. (The Rotten Review couldn't understand why Baker was so desperate to discover the weaknesses of alien only they could reproduce.)

Meanwhile, Astronaut Pat Ross - the son of a powerful politician - returns from a brief visit to Mars. Unbeknownst to Ross or any of his fellow travelers, a mysterious oozing thing hitched a ride in one of his sample cases. On the return trip home, the ooze goes into action, changing Ross forever. Soon he begins a startling metamorphosis - but even sooner than that, he begins raping women. To add insult to injury (to anybody involved in the original "Alien") Ross's victims find themselves impregnated with his alien offspring, whom they "birth" in a typically gore-filled and fatal delivery. Ross tries to resist, but soon succumbs to the urge to be an inhuman being of superhuman desires. To combat Ross, the military turns to action hero Press Lenox (Michael Madsen), and then to Eve herself. Knowing of Ross's xeno-biological compulsion to mate, our heroes hope to use Eve as bait, but Eve proves she's capable of doing more than luring Ross out.

Unfortunately, that's more than we can say for this movie. There is no real plot - stuff just happens. This is easily one of the stupidest studio projects of the 1990's - in that so-bad-it's-no-good category. Despite the availability of decent-to-very-good talent (Madsen & George Dzunda, as well as Peter Boyle in a brief role as a now institutionalized scientist who warned against the Mars mission, inexplicably aware of the danger; most ironic is Peter Medak of "Let him have it" fame, as the director of this mess). What makes it even harder to stomach is that "Species 2" could have worked as a parody - and bears signs that this was somebody's intention early on (the acting sounds phoned in; the mission to mars is laughably brief - while the mars ship itself is so be-studded with corporate logos it looks less like a spaceship than a really big entrant in NASCAR; Richard Belzer is the President of the USA). Instead of being a parody of bad movies, "Species 2" becomes as poorly acted and edited as any of them, easily trailing the "Alien" series from which it ripped off heinously while having access to superior effects.

Description

A deranged hunter massacres the female clients at a local health spa, but the two police detectives assigned to investigate, Sully (ERIC ROBERTS) and Wyznowski (JOHN RHYS-DAVIES), are baffled to find that all the victims have been shot either through the eye or the ear, yet no bullets can be found on their corpses. To complicate matters, some of the victims' bodies have disappeared completely. When Sully and Wyznowski question the lone survivor of the massacre, they learn that Warden (ARNOLD VOSLOO), a mysterious stranger with super-human abilities, also seems to be conducting an investigation.

As the two detectives attempt to track down the illusive Warden, the hunter kills again, this time displaying his own super-human abilities, and leading Sully and Wyznowski to realize that their investigation has only just scratched the surface of a much bigger problem: A secret war is being waged between two alien species, and Earth has become their battleground.

Endanger of a Lawsuit?.......2005-03-02

Personally, I like the old New Line movie, "The Hidden". Sure, it's a little on the goofy side, but it's a guilty pleasure. There was a part of me that believed that, with all the remakes that are being done now, that it was only a matter of time before The Hidden would get remade at New Line. Probably with Ashton Kutcher as the alien. I was bracing myself for that news when I happened upon Endangered Species.

Well, it looks like somebody beat New Line to the punch.

I haven't seen anyone rip off a movie so directly since J.T. Petty tried to pass off his "Rear Window inspired" Mimic 3 as something original. "Endangered Species" marks a new career low for Eric Roberts and John Rhys- Davies. Do yourself a favor, skip over this one and buy yourself a copy of "The Hidden" instead.

Poacher from another planet.......2004-12-30

Eric Roberts is a cop assigned to investigate a massacre at a health spa. Little does he know, the killer is a hunter from another planet, looking for perfect human bodies. Arnold Vosloo is a game warden who studies humans in their natural habitat. The hunting of humans is illegal, so the game warden teams up with Eric Roberts to bring the poacher to justice.
Writer/Director Kevin Tenney does a good job with a low budget in creating an interesting work of science fiction. Fans of T&A should enjoy the shower scene 7 minutes into the movie, and fans of low budget SciFi effects will enjoy this movie as well.
