deshan-78580 Before I start reviewing, let me let you guys know that this review might contain a few spoiler alerts, if you can't handle spoilers, then don't read this review. Mutant Species is a 1995 Sci-fi thriller directed by David Prior. This film starts off with a group of soldiers sent out to find the mutant container, they found it, but the mission immediately went horribly wrong. This one particular soldier touched the container and the moving blood has gotten into its skin, causing him to kill nearly the entire group of soldiers, but two of them however survived. Later the two surviving soldiers are trying to get help, then much later, the affected soldier has transformed into a mutant creature. Towards the end of the film, the mutant creature is causing chaos around the forest, and the surviving soldier has managed to kill it, that's the entire film for you. Pros: - Decent kills/deaths - Okay at best creature effects (sure that mutant creature looks cheap & cheesy, but I call it acceptable at best though) Cons: - Poor acting - Bad plot - Horrible writing - Clichéd concept - Lousy ending (the mutant creature blew himself up) In the end of the day, Mutant Species is a bland & boring movie at best, recommend staying far away from it unless you got nothing better to do or you just love making fun of horrible movies. 3/10, the end.Rated R for strong violence & infrequent strong language
TC-4 What bothers me about this low budget trash is that when I go to the local video store it is filled with these great appearing (from the cover) videos. Most of these are movies that no one has ever heard of. Most of them will have a cameo role of some reasonably big star and have him or her the star of the movie. They all look like a "TV movie" with a few swear words thrown in the get an R rating to make you think that this is a "real" movie. Usually about 10 minutes into the movie I realize that I got taken again. My advise is that if you never heard of it, don't rent it or first check here to get some reviews.
FlyBoyDC Yep, MUTANT SPECIES was one of those "so ludicrous it's funny" type thrillers. For one, the rubber-costumed monster with phony foam latex make-up is ravenously laughable! Even more hysterical is having Leo Rossi (known for his "wise guy" type roles) mistakenly cast against type as a military officer who transforms into a hideous creature, stalking his victims in the nightfall. MUTANT SPECIES has mostly unmemorable dialogue, and the characters in this film are one-dimensional and insignificant. In other words, MUTANT SPECIES is simply a terrible movie.MUTANT SPECIES has by far, some of the WORST production values in history. (e.g. This film blatantly relies on stock footage for a scene involving a rocket about to blast-off.) Also, although the cast is capable, the script is inadequate and the monster again looks very miserable.MUTANT SPECIES tried to make a statement about the evils of technology; however this movie is nothing more than a monster-on-the-rampage film. This bombastic feature sounds a lot more intriguing that it looks. This film is a terminally bland piece of opus.In spite of the errors and foibles in MUTANT SPECIES, there is an adroit action scene or two directed and the cast tried their best with a tight budget and an inconvenient production design. By no means is MUTANT SPECIES a well-made film in the slightest sense, but the decent pace and a fun premise save this film from total obscurity.RATING: *1/2 out of ****.
ChoiBaby What is the "Bio-Force 1?" The Bio-Force 1 is described as a biological mutant DNA strain. This peculiar brand of DNA is more of a virus though, virulent enough to infect almost any living being that comes in remote contact with this strain. The symptoms of this powerful disease include homicidal impulses and an uncontrollable rage... The Bio-Force 1 also happens to be America's newest top secret weapon...However, when this scientific experiment goes ballistic, the military has no choice but to detain this mutated DNA strain. For the sake of National Security, a rocket carrying the entire Bio-Force 1 canister has been launched, its destination: the moon. Unfortunately, this is when circumstances get much worse...Yep, MUTANT SPECIES was one of those "so ludicrous it's funny" type thrillers.
