Deadly Species

I rented this today assuming it would fall into the "so bad that it's good" category (a personal favorite of mine). After having watched it, I can tell you that it doesn't fall anywhere near it; Deadly Species is just bad.

After laughing at the amateurish acting gets old, the movie loses what little bit of entertainment value it may have once held. The plodding pace, predictable twists, and lack of anything in particular happening most of the time will leave you yawning as you wait for Deadly Species to finally, mercifully end. After a lame pseudo-cliffhanger finale which seems tacked on at the last moment, you'll scarcely believe that it was a mere 88 minutes.

The bottom line is that whether you're watching this because you want to see something worthwhile or whether you're looking for some B-grade trash to have a good laugh at, Deadly Species will disappoint.

Okay so a research team go out into the Everglades to find a thought extinct tribe of people but run afoul of monsters. Not exactly original stuff.

This heavy b-movie flick keeps the monster to a minimum and thats a shame, this wasn't done for budget reasons as no CGI was used and it was for the purposes of "Effect" then they failed miserably.

With an instantly forgettable cast, recycled plot and a monster that looks like Rawhead Rex (1986) except nude! Deadly Species isn't going to win any awards for....well.....anything but is harmless enough.

It comes under the category of dumb fun, or at least dumb bit of fun.

Cliched, boring in places and never really gets going you can do worse but I can rattle off 100+ movies with similiar plots that deserve your attention more.

The Good:

Cheesy but decent monster

The Bad:

Literally nothing you haven't seen before

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Rawhead Rex has really let himself go

Someone really should have showed that girl how to hold the rifle

I've read so much about 'B' movies not being really serious. And everytime I watch one, it gives lie to the statement. Congo, Anaconda are just two of the movies in my opinion that this film tried to draw from. Miserably though.

that is all I can say. WOW. What a horrible excuse for a movie. I truly wish there was once good thing I could say... well, maybe there is...the poster's kinda cool. The overall concept of the story might have worked, had they found someone to actually write it. Horrible script, full of clichés, horrible photography (half the movie is out of focus), terrible location (have these people ever been to the everglades?) and to top it all... to top it all... hahaha... were did they find those actors? The lead (the doctor) was HORRIBLE! along with everyone else. The only half decent performance was by the financier and his bodyguard.

What another disaster... This movie is about a group of people in college that want to find an old Indian tribe that was thought to be extinct 150 years ago. A professor and some of his students give up their summer vacation (yeah right screw that) to go hunting for this tribe in the Everglades. Originally they couldn't go because they didn't have the money but some random guy that has naked women everywhere in his estate calls and says hey I got money lets go. The catch is, he isn't in it for the educational value but hes trying to find out why his own people never came back because they supposedly had a magical cure for anything, more of an immortality elixer. Anyway, they manage to make it there with a whole 5 minutes...some expedition...hows that cost 30 grand? Anyway, they manage to find out that some creature is making his way about smoking off all but a select few in the end. This is more of a movie for someone who wants to see nudity from the chest up even though the women were not exactly good looking. We will let you watch the movie to see how it runs! But don't waste your money buying it, just go download it somewhere if you can or watch it at someone elses house.
