    Editorial Reviews:

    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 blond 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 Swiss 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

    5 out of 5 stars What's A Killer Female Alien Movie Without Nudity?   June 30, 2009
    D. Meeker (USA)
    Species is an enjoyable low budget alien movie starring Michael Madsen. Althought the special effects are pretty good, there is a ton of nudity. ABout every other ten minutes it's more bare breasts or bottoms. It probably has the most of all four. Species is for the sci-fi geeks out there (like me), but is not really a Oscar winning motion picture. Even with it's first rate cast.


    4 out of 5 stars Species special edition   April 19, 2009
    James P. Nugent (san diego, ca)
    Great movie if you're looking for senseless sci-fi action, and not too interested in getting to know the characters. The quality of the DVD was great - picture sharp, sound was outstanding. Should also be advised there was a lot of above the waist nudity, but seeing as how the plot was based on a hybrid alien/human that escapes execution in a lab, then follows her motherly instincts to reproduce, well.... you kind of have an idea going into the movie what it's all about.

    What a horrible, horrible movie. Shows like a terrible, low budget, "made for TV" movie. Bad acting, bad script, ridiculous special effects... this is one crummy movie. Sorry I wasted precious minutes of my life watching this garbage.

    Perhaps if I had seen this when it first came out, I might have rated it higher, but I doubt it. I agree with others - with the cast including Kingsley, how could it be this bad? And they came out with Species II????? Phew!!
