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!

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.

sex and alliens.......2006-01-07

well, it seems that they had to make a movie where Alliens and humans have sex, it was creepy, it was gross, it was fun!

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/Enemy Mine.......2007-05-25

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.

They have landed........2007-04-10

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.

2 Flics on 2 discs............2007-02-07

Hey, these are both classic SciFi movies! I really like that they are on seperate discs, in a slim-pack, AND the price would be nice for each, BUT NO!, you get 2 for the price of 1!!

Loved it, and so did my boyfriend. They're better as they get older.

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

Mankind's number is up in this thrilling third installment of the Species franchise! Featuring eye-popping special effects, knuckle-whitening suspense and the dazzling performance of sexy newcomer Sunny Mabrey, Species III is the most jarring, action-packed chapter in the sci-fi series yet!

When Sara (Mabrey), the daughter of Eve (Natasha Henstridge), is born, she develops into the most genetically perfect alien form yet! Seeking to repopulate the earth with her kind, this dangerously beautiful femme fatale heeds an overwhelming drive to mate while a crack military team trails her in an attempt to end the war between the two species forever!

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.

Best out of the 3, so far..........2005-10-26

I like this movie best out of the Species trilogy. It was well written and paced. This is also the best "college" movie I have seen as well - no cheese here. The movie has humorous takes on the general misunderstandings and misconceptions that exist between women and men, parents and teen-agers, teachers and students.

For good "alien" entertainment, watch this, so long as you don't mind some cheesy gross special 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.

The 'Editorial Reviews' section above describes the 2 movies, so I'd just like to add that this DVD also contains 2 old 'Casper the Friendly Ghost' cartoons and a DVD dictionary that can be downloaded.
I have 'Moon of the Wolf' on laser disk and was hoping it would come out on DVD, so it was an extra treat to get 'Alien Species' thrown in as well. If you like science fiction/horror movies you'll find that these 2 movies are suspenseful and quite enjoyable.
Besides, you can't beat the price!

Customer Reviews:

You're nothing but a cliche!.......2004-10-10

Two shot-on-video movies that are plagued by EVERYTHING that makes watching a film an excruciating experience. Bad scripts, wooden acting, ludicrous pacing and turgid editing.
UNDER THE SKIN is about... well, I not really sure. Credits list three directors and this one seems to be three thirty minute student films butted together. Imagine The Terminator meets Alien Autopsy meets whatever. ENDANGERED SPECIES is just as incoherent, although it seems to be cribbing more from Rosemary's Baby and Escape from New York. It does contain the best line in either movie, though, delivered by a dark-glasses clad alien - "As the meltdown chamber makes your flesh drool."
About the only reason to watch these is for the opportunity to reflect on what's most important to a movie. It has to be the script. These movies are so confused and confusing that it's almost impossible to concentrate on them for the 100-minutes they both demand. The acting may be amateurish, but that could have been disguised a bit by an intriguing story. These two are both big reasons to loathe the do-it-yourself movement.
