    Having just returned from a mission to Mars, Commander Ross isn't exactly himself. He's slowly becoming a terrifying alien entity with one goal -- to procreate with human women!

      Most of this is silly, dim-witted stuff, but a few of the shocks carry some of the crude power of Jack Arnold's low-budget horror films of the 50s.

      The only thing that distinguishes Species 2 is how awful it is.

      Entertainment Weekly

      "Species" at least had the benefit of Henstridge's glazed porn-doll perversity, but this time any glimmers of sexual ominousness are buried in a lame, desultory chase plot and in the woefully underimagined special effects.

      Though it never really taps into the whole JFK-as-alien-sex-fiend plot as a source of satire, Species 2 is still the superior piece of trash its predecessor should have been.

      What ensues is a Halloween-style blood bath accompanied by graphic sex scenes.

      Austin Chronicle

      Shoddily plotted and unimaginative, Species II is a slapdash effort at best, creepily unaffecting and minus the T&A this sort of film so desperately hinges on.

      Though Species II is far from serious and aimed squarely at the hairy-palmed, it really didn't need to be quite this rotten.

      The best advice to give anyone who wants to see Species II--other than "don't go!"--is "don't eat!"
