About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a cheap, fast sci-fi horror riff with gooey kills and sleazy 80s exploitation energy, especially if you’ve seen Species; Not for you if gratuitous nudity or obvious Alien-style cloning bothers you.
Pros: gnarly creature gore; brisk 77-minute pace; fun B-movie vibe | Cons: very derivative story; uneven acting; heavy gratuitous nudity
