I didn't mind the original Species movie, I loved Gigers influence and it had a cast that enabled it to really stand out from other similar sci-fi movies at the time.
The second was passable affair and followed on nicely, but it already felt a bit like it was treading water.
The third starred the excellent Robert Knepper and though just about watchable really come across as a cash grab.
Alas with the fourth here the "Feel" of cash grab isn't a feeling anymore, it's very blatant. Straight to DVD nonsense with enough of a budget (Ish) to pull off the sfx but delivers very little else.
Starring veteran actor Ben Cross it's another erotic sci-fi outing that sadly brings little to the Species lore, delivers a rather underwhelming and rather rushed story and is decidedly average at its best.
Maybe Species should have stopped at the first movie, some films just don't need to become a franchise and this is a great example.
Should Species be rebooted? Absolutely not as the first movie delivered, want your Species fix go watch that.
The Good:
SFX are good for a straight to DVD sequel
The Bad:
"Alien" cutaways are a tad pointless
Brings nothing to the franchise
Feels rushed
