ON MARCH 8TH, MATING SEASON BEGINS WITH SCREAM FACTORY'S BLU-RAY DEBUTS FOR THE "SPECIES" SEQUELS!
SPECIES is a pretty solid sci-fi thriller, and honestly I've failed to see the sequels it generated. But in a few weeks, I can remedy that by picking up these new Scream Factory releases!
Synopsis for SPECIES II: Having just returned from a mission to Mars, Commander Ross (Justin Lazard) isn't exactly himself. He's slowly becoming a terrifying alien entity with a one-track mind – to procreate with human women!
When countless women suffer gruesome deaths after bearing half-alien offspring, scientist Laura Baker and hired assassin Press Lennox (Michael Madsen) use Eve (Natasha Henstridge, SPECIES), a more tempered alien clone, to find Ross and his virulent brood. But they underestimate Eve's maternal drive, and before long she escapes to mate with Ross in order to create a purer and unstoppable race that could spell doom for mankind.
As time is running out, the ultimate battle takes place in a chilling climax that puts Darwin's theory to the ultimate test... only the strongest species will survive.
