Before you can finish saying transformation, Sil turns into a lethal blonde knockout (Natasha Henstridge) driven to mate and perpetuate her species by boffing men she picks up in a single bar near her Hollywood motel. Sil, we’re informed, is a creature of a rapidly maturing hybrid of alien and human DNA.
The searchers include ex-Marine assassin Press Lennox (Michael Madsen), a Harvard-based anthropologist Stephen Arden (Alfred Molina), molecular biologist Laura Baker (Marg Helgenberger) and psychic Dan Smithson (Forest Whitaker). The arrogant project head, Dr Xavier Fitch (Ben Kingsley), organizes a search party. Sil escapes and boards a train bound for LA., killing the conductor. The story begins in a top-secret government lab in Utah, where scientists plan to use cyanide gas to murder the young Sil ( Michelle Williams), someone they turned into a half-human, half-alien female product by naively following a formula given them by supposedly friendly aliens. The exploitation flick hopes to overcome its limited script by its effective heavy duty special effects. It’s a blend of Alien and Basic Instinct, but not as good as either. “ A cheesy rip off science fiction/horror hybrid.”Ī cheesy rip off science fiction/horror hybrid helmed by Aussie filmmaker Roger Donaldson (“No Way Out”/”The Bank Job”/”Dante’s Peak”) and written by Dennis Feldman.
