Kevin and his girlfriend Evelyn, who, while camping out in the woods in the Chile countryside is abducted and impregnated by otherworldly beings. As the entity inside her begins to grow at a rapid rate, Evelyn discovers that the cravings she's experiencing can only be satiated by the taste of human flesh and blood. When she attacks a doctor, Kevin decides not to hand her over to the authorities, but to go on the run and try to get to mainland big city where they can find help to remove the thing that's slowly taking over Evelyn's body.

Original Cin

This tiring Chilean sci-fi/horror proves, perhaps beyond belief, that violent tales of alien insemination can be dull.

Rob Rector

Film Threat

The performances are serviceable, but character decisions are so frustratingly ill-advised, it is difficult to muster an ounce of interest in any one of them.

Rated: 4/10

Crooked Marquee

The movie is far too incoherent to construct a convincing conspiracy.

Rated: D

THN

Patricio Valladares returns to his Chilean roots with an extraterrestrial anthology film that has strong echoes of Return of the Living Dead 3.

Rated: 3/5

Projected Figures

the fragmentary nature of Embryo makes the film its own UFO - strange, elusive and difficult to identify. As inchoate and provisional as its title implies, Embryo is a palimpsest for a different, unfinished film, desperate to be brought to term.
