Species
Directed by Roger Donaldson
In 1993, the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence Project receives a transmission detailing an alien DNA structure, along with instructions on how to splice it with human DNA. The result is Sil, a sensual but deadly creature who can change from a beautiful woman to an armour-plated killing machine in the blink of an eye. From TMDB

60 of 107 · most liked firstMaybe just because it was mentioned in cartoons constantly as a kid but I assumed it was from like, the 1800s. It turns out the chupacabra was first "spotted" in 1995 by a woman who believed that the events of the movie Species were real and based its description on the alien from it

neutral · AI labelView post →Periodic reminder that the Chupacabra isn’t traditional folklore, that it’s younger than the X-Files, and that it comes from an old lady not quite understanding that the movie Species was a work of fiction.

neutral · AI labelView post →A funny story from when I was an adolescent. I was about 13, I and some other friends were having a movie night and we rented a bunch of movies. Being 13 year old boys, we rented the movie SPECIES, ostensibly a horror movie, but with more nudity than any of us had ever yet experienced.

neutral · AI labelView post →Species 2 GOOD, a whole movie about how society won’t even let a white guy with a conscience submit himself to punishment because the establishment is built around valorizing dudes like him
positive · AI labelView post →The pain got to me, so I took a gummy and am watching SPECIES 2, one of the dumbest SF movies of all time. Junk science. Demon babies. Any excuse for B movie boobs. And terrible late 90s CG. 🎉
negative · AI labelView post →My friends and I watch a movie every weds and I still think the biggest diversion from expectation to quality of the product is still Species, which is not just a really good movie, it's also way smarter than it looks like considering the cover and tagline
positive · AI labelView post →This movie gets more fun if you call her Species, like ”look out Species!“ or “oh no, Species didn’t like that!”

neutral · AI labelView post →There was a movie whose cover and title I saw at a young age - SPECIES, which had the image of a ludicrously hot supermodel midway through transforming into a sexy alien lady, and at 14, I was like, "This movie has to be the sexiest movie ever" and then I spent 21 years not watching it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #5 "Species II" (Peter Medak/1998) Another film that has its fair share of haters but me, I fucking love it. It reminds me of the horror sequels from the 80s that had to up their game significantly. Check it out!

Everyone in the cast (especially Michael Madsen and Ben Kingsley) are hamming it up and having a blast. A good start!

I asked him once what if anything he changed in his approach to material when making something like Species 2 and he was like “whataya mean?” I’m like dude that movie has puppets screaming out of women’s stomachs, it’s insane. It’s not The Changeling
