Species (1995)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 108m
Director: Roger Donaldson
Cast: Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, Alfred Molina, Forest Whitaker
Synopsis:
Scientists inject alien DNA into a human ovum and find themselves with a fast-growing, immensely powerful shape-changing female who escapes and goes in search of a mate.
Review:
Early ruminations about whether the subject of the experiment has been made a callous monster by the lack of tutelage and affection she has been shown are jettisoned as the plot develops into a more straightforward hunter-and-hunted scenario. A good cast and some smart touches raise it above the indifferent.
