Leave your thoughts about Species II.
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe only thing that distinguishes Species 2 is how awful it is. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A clone of the first film except with a small twist... |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumMost of this is silly, dim-witted stuff, but a few of the shocks carry some of the crude power of Jack Arnold's low-budget horror films of the 50s. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergThe sequel ups the "silly" ante without bringing any new brains to the table. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman"Species" at least had the benefit of Henstridge's glazed porn-doll perversity, but this time any glimmers of sexual ominousness are buried in a lame, desultory chase plot and in the woefully underimagined special effects. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThough there's some trashy fun to be had in the film's first half, this cynical sequel -- devolves into space junk even faster than the unfortunate Ross. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittWhat ensues is a Halloween-style blood bath accompanied by graphic sex scenes. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid BartholomewSpecies II may be notable only in that it is an extreme, sadly robust example of the troubling trend of modern horror films to give sex a bad name. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThough it never really taps into the whole JFK-as-alien-sex-fiend plot as a source of satire, Species 2 is still the superior piece of trash its predecessor should have been. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonAn unsavory and unsatisfying blend of dumb plotting, leering lasciviousness and full-bore gore, pic should warp-speed to video shelves. |
