Species
For three million years, the human race has been at the top of the evolutionary ladder. Nothing lasts forever.
Directed by Roger Donaldson
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, FGM Entertainment
A tense sci-fi creature feature that weaponizes sexual attraction and genetic horror, pitting a team of scientists against a lethal alien-human hybrid on the loose in Los Angeles.
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.
