Irresistible beauty. Unstoppable instincts.
Университетский преподаватель Миранда Холландер ненадолго теряет сознание, а приходит в себя посреди кровавого побоища и массы трупов. За ответом она спешит к своему дяде. Когда он доводит до ее сознания шокирующую правду, а именно, что Миранда является лишь на половину человеком, т. е. клоном от гибрида человека и пришельца, им приходится вылететь в Мексику, чтобы разыскать ученого, который её создал. Они вынуждены обороняться от целых орд яростных, неудержимых гибридов и пытаться выиграть время, которое неумолимо бежит, заставляя Миранду полностью и навечно поддаться киллерскому инстинкту, который все боле нарастает внутри ее существа.
"Species: The Awakening" (2007), a direct-to-video sci-fi thriller produced by 360 Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, marks the fourth installment in the Species franchise. Directed by Nick Lyon, the film continues the saga of the alien-human hybrid species, focusing on a new protagonist, Miranda Holland, portrayed by Helena Mattsson. Set in the United States, the narrative follows Miranda as she uncovers her true alien heritage and embarks on a perilous journey to stop the spread of her deadly species. The film introduces a fresh perspective to the franchise by centering on Miranda's internal struggle and her quest for identity. As she navigates through a world filled with danger and deception, Miranda teams up with a determined professor, Tom Holland, played by Ben Cross, who becomes her ally in the fight against the alien threat. Their journey takes them across various locations, from urban landscapes to remote hideouts, as they attempt to unravel the mystery of the alien species and find a way to eradicate it. "Species: The Awakening" blends elements of horror and science fiction, maintaining the franchise's signature blend of suspense and action. The film's visual effects, while modest due to its direct-to-video format, effectively convey the otherworldly nature of the alien creatures. The performances, particularly by Mattsson and Cross, add depth to the characters, making the audience invested in their mission to save humanity from the alien menace. Despite being a lesser-known entry in the Species series, "Species: The Awakening" offers a compelling continuation of the franchise's themes of genetic manipulation and the ethical dilemmas surrounding alien life. While it may not reach the heights of its predecessors, the film provides an engaging narrative that explores new facets of the alien-human conflict, making it a noteworthy addition to the series for fans of science fiction and horror.
