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! When countless women suffer gruesome deaths after bearing half-alien offspring, scientist Laura Baker and hired assassin Press Lennox use Eve, a more tempered alien clone, to find Ross and his brood. Before long Eve escapes to mate with Ross.

Chicago Reader
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. - 38
ReelViews
The only thing that distinguishes Species 2 is how awful it is. - 33
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. - 30
The A.V. Club
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. - 25
Christian Science Monitor
What ensues is a Halloween-style blood bath accompanied by graphic sex scenes. - 20
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. - 20
Empire
Though Species II is far from serious and aimed squarely at the hairy-palmed, it really didn't need to be quite this rotten. - 20
Los Angeles Times
The best advice to give anyone who wants to see Species II--other than "don't go!"--is "don't eat!"
