Because she is the result of an experiment in which human DNA was mixed with that of a (possibly nefarious) alien race. But Sil has plans of her own, so she breaks out of the gas chamber and escapes. This prompts Fitch, the head scientist, to gather a team to track the child down. Unfortunately, they may have trouble recognizing their prey, because Sil has turned herself into a lethal, sexy, adult woman... whose goal is to procreate as soon as possible. The fetching mutant embarks on a number of sexual encounters -- most of which have gruesome results for her partners. Will Sil, who finally changes into a hideous, slimy monster, defeat our heroes... and breed a new generation of mutants? [More]

It is no masterpiece, but after some of the schlock seen this year, it is nice to see a science-fiction horror film that delivers.

An enjoyable creature feature where the creature just happens to mask itself as a beautiful, often-naked blonde. Nothing more than a big-budget exploitation flick, but it has some good shock moments.

As slyly smart as it is silly, and the flick delivers a clever idea that's wedged in between some rather slick action scenes.

...she's a beautiful, horny, outer-space babe who just wants to copulate, and when she doesn't get her way, boy, does she get angry!

Violent kill-fest of a sci-fi/horror movie. Sexy monster, though.

Does this film know it's funny? Does it think it's scary? In truth, it's enough of both to enjoy.

A great monster chase movie, some cool gore, and Henstridge had a promising debut. Too bad it never went anywhere.
