Species

CriticsCritics: 46
AudienceAudience: 5.7

After scientists receive an extraterrestrial DNA sequence and instructions for combining it with human DNA, they create a hybrid creature that escapes confinement. As it searches for a mate, a team of experts sets out to track it down before it can reproduce.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like pulpy science-fiction horror, a dangerous creature on the loose, and straightforward thrills; Not for you if you want subtle storytelling, consistently convincing effects, or a genuinely scary atmosphere.
