This picture results to be the fourth outing to ¨Species¨ series that began with a friendly galactic message packing a recipe on how to combine extraterrestrial DNA with human is sent to genetic scientifics on Earth. As scientists undergoing the weird experiment resulting in a sexy half alien, half human , she is called Sil .

Miranda believes that she has lived with her "uncle" ever since her parents were killed in an accident while she was a baby , but the protagonist doesn't know she is half alien . Tom tells Miranda that she is the result of an experiment that combined human and alien DNA, an experiment conducted with an old friend . Then Dr. Hollander, takes his niece, Miranda to Mexico, to meet another scientist , Forbes (Dominic Keating) , in an attempt to reverse the effects of the alien DNA he used to create her.

However , the treatment goes horribly wrong, and it sets Miranda on a killing spree as she sets out to find a mate. As she seduces young people into mating to produce a baby to expand her descendants on Earth .Irresistible beauty !. Unstoppable instincts !. Genetic perfection is no longer a dream ! .

Mankind may not survive her. Two decades ago scientists sent a message to space...This... is the reply. Our time is up. This December, the mating game turns deadly .If you build it , they will come .
Inferior Sci-fi movie with noisy action , stomach-churning thrills , chills, tension , intrigue , violence , state-of-art FX , strong sexual scenes , nudism and lots of gore and guts . Director Nick Lyon shows some ability to create a sense of dread and unease, using lighting, sound design, and camera angles to build suspense and keep audiences on the edge of their seats. It is an entertaining but ordinary thriller with no much sense , but it results to be a so-so story , following in the distinct wake of the Science Fiction movies of the Fifties . The prolific and recently deceased main and secondary actor Ben Cross gives an acceptable acting as the brilliant scientist who raised his beautiful niece , while Dominic Keating plays Forbes who now lives with his recent experiment named Azura : Marlene Favela , another human/alien DNA hybrid who also serves as his assistant and lover-she is sterile to prevent offspring. Along with the extremely gorgeous starring Helena Mattsson who gives some spicy bare scenes. Trio starring are passable , but with no appearance by Natasha Henstridge , who played Sil in the first film as well as Eve in the sequels . Decent special effects but inferior than previous entry made by great technicians and based on the famous creature created by artist-designer H. R. Giger , while the former movies heavily used 3D computer generator effects and animatronic puppets , the alien creatures are completely portrayed by actual stand-ins and all of them making fantastic and strange monsters .
It contains a mysterious and thrilling musical score , as well as colorful but functional cinematography . This direct to video film was regularly directed by Nick Lyon . The film was commercially successful and helped to establish Lyon as a director to watch in the horror genre. Lyon's work is characterized by its intense, atmospheric style and emphasis on suspense and tension but in Species the Awakening resulting in a mediocre film . Following the uneven success of "Species: The Awakening", Lyon went on to direct several more horror and thriller films, including "Zombie Apocalypse", which premiered on the Syfy channel in 2011 starred by Ving Rhames and Taryn Manning, followed a group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. His most recent film "On Fire" which Nick wrote, directed and produced, starred by Peter Facinelli , Lance Henricksen and he continues to be a respected and influential figure in the world of horror, disaster and thriller filmmaking. This filmmaker is a fine craftsman usually working for Television , directing telefilms, B-movies and episodes from known TV series, such as : Z Nation , Bullet , La La Land, Bermuda-Dreieck Nordsee , They found hell, Hercules Reborn, Rise of the zombies, Bermuda Tentacles, among others.
The quartet is formed by the original Species I followed by three inferior sequels : the first entry , ¨Species¨ 1995 , by Roger Donaldson with Natasha Hensridge ,Michael Madsen, Forest Whitaker , Alfred Molina, Michelle Williams , Ben Kinsley ,Marg Helgenberger , concerning a group of scientific carry out an unenviable and relentless task of catching Sil . ¨Species 2¨ with Justin Lazard, George Dzunza, Marg Helgenberg , James Cromwell, in which scientists create a clone from the monster of the original film. And ¨Species III¨, 2001 by Brad Turner with Robin Dunne, Robert Knepper and the gorgeous Sunny Mabrey.
