Men cannot resist her. Mankind may not survive her. Two decades ago scientists sent a message to space...This... is the reply. Our time is up.

So-so 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 . It is a nice but ordinary thriller with no much sense , but it results to be pretty entertaining and amusing , following in the distinct wake of the Science Fiction movies of the Fifties . The usual secondary actor Rob Knepper gives a passable acting as the ambitious scientific who expects to develop a perfect DNA using alien's eggs and that's why he wants to win the Nobel Prize and other prizes , while Robin Dunne is acceptable as the young student who becomes involved in the experiment and share his research , along with the extremely gorgeous Sunny Mabrey in his film debut . Trio starring are well accompanied by passable support cast with some familar faces , such as : Amelia Cooke who gives some spicy bare scenes , Michael Warren , Bethune , Joel Stoffer , Cristopher Neame and brief appearance by Natasha Henstridge . Decent special effects but inferior than previous entry made by great technicians as Dennis Muren, Richard Edlund and based on the famous creature created by artist-designer H.R. Giger , all of them making fantastic and strange monsters .

It contains a mysterious and thrilling musical score by Elia Cmiral, a good musician expert on terror and dark atmosphere . As well as colorful but functional cinematography by Christian Sebaldt . This direct to video film was regularly directed by Brad Turner .This filmmaker is a fine craftsman usually working for Television , directing episodes from known TV series, such as : MacGyver, Next , Homeland , 24 , Hawai 5.0 , Take two , Shannara , Bull , Conviction , Marvel Shield Agents , Wayward Pines , Second chances , Falling Skies , Dare Devil , Legend, The last ship , Stalker , Invisibles , Psych , Bitten , Nikita , among others.
