Natasha Henstridge plays the dangerous spawn of combined alien and human DNA in this sexy sci-fi shocker from director Roger Donaldson. Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen and Alfred Molina are among the inept government scientists speaking daft dialogue as they attempt to track down the genetic engineering experiment gone awry before she devours half the male population of LA. Nifty designs by surrealist HR Giger (who gave the extraterrestrial in Alien its incredible look) and some engaging tongue-in-cheek thrills go part way to disguising the fact that this is essentially clichéd B-movie stuff, albeit delivered with a pleasingly glossy sheen.
Plot Summary
Sci-fi horror starring Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, Alfred Molina, Forest Whitaker and Natasha Henstridge. When a young girl called Sil escapes from a government lab, a crack team that includes an assassin and a biologist is dispatched to find her - fast. Because Sil, who quickly becomes a beautiful woman, is half alien and a threat to mankind.
