Audience Member Lacking in almost every way. No unique or interesting premise, and it takes forever to get to the main conflict where characters start dying off. Camera work was awful and this movie is clearly very low budget. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Creature design was surprisingly good. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow boring plot, mediocre creature effects, and boring characters. The story doesn't offer much to see nor does it really go anywhere interesting. Several elements didn't make much sense and the ending was pretty flat. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Deadly Species has an archeological expedition being put together by wealthy, but shady bad guy Brian Minyard in order to research an elusive native tribe that have lived in the Florida Everglades, unnoticed and with great secrecy for hundreds of years. What the group doesn't know is that Minyard knows a lot more than them, like a supposed fountain of youth, as well as large vicious monsters that guard it from any and all human life. Sure enough, as soon as everyone sets up camp, they start getting picked off one by one in various gory (or offscreen) fashion. Overall, Deadly Species is average, offering not a whole lot of material, but this sort of Predator-type scenario in the jungle can always be a treat, regardless of how low-budget it is. One interesting note, everyone in the film is extremely normal looking. Not a supermodel in sight, though I can't say that for some of this relatively unknown cast (not even any recognizable underground actors) now as some of them looked to have extensive plastic surgery after this. Still, it's interesting to see a film comprised of normal-looking people, especially normal looking naked women, which there are a few. I will say the monster suits/effects look pretty decent (in fact, that may have been where all the money was sunk into). Of course, the acting is mediocre, but someone expecting good acting in a film of this caliber may be suffering from aggressive retardation. Overall, not bad. Dumb fun on a small scale. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Has to be one of the worst films I have ever seen... laughable in almost every aspect. Any decent attempts at narrative or direction are completely lost in everything else. Every single character is annoying, and I was actually disappointed that they didn't all die.
