HumanoidOfFlesh The plot of "Deadly Species" is fairly simple:an expedition to Everglades in search of a lost native tribe The Calusa turns out to be really a search for the mythical fountain of youth.The expedition consists of two university professors,a bunch of nubile students and a photographer as well as the backer who insists he goes along with his muscled security man.Soon some of them start to die killed by mysterious creatures hidden in the Everglades.Surprisingly dull and badly-acted monster movie which lacks gore and scares.The scenery is quite lush and atmospheric plus there are some shots of naked boobs.The climax is hysterical and pretty stupid.Don't waste your time with "Deadly Species".4 tribes out of 10.

TaniaMagna1984 that is all I can say. WOW. What a horrible excuse for a movie. I truly wish there was once good thing I could say... well, maybe there is...the poster's kinda cool. The overall concept of the story might have worked, had they found someone to actually write it. Horrible script, full of clichés, horrible photography (half the movie is out of focus), terrible location (have these people ever been to the everglades?) and to top it all... to top it all... hahaha... were did they find those actors? The lead (the doctor) was HORRIBLE! along with everyone else. The only half decent performance was by the financier and his bodyguard.

B_D I rented this today assuming it would fall into the "so bad that it's good" category (a personal favorite of mine). After having watched it, I can tell you that it doesn't fall anywhere near it; Deadly Species is just bad.After laughing at the amateurish acting gets old, the movie loses what little bit of entertainment value it may have once held. The plodding pace, predictable twists, and lack of anything in particular happening most of the time will leave you yawning as you wait for Deadly Species to finally, mercifully end. After a lame pseudo-cliffhanger finale which seems tacked on at the last moment, you'll scarcely believe that it was a mere 88 minutes.The bottom line is that whether you're watching this because you want to see something worthwhile or whether you're looking for some B-grade trash to have a good laugh at, Deadly Species will disappoint.

smegger68 I don't know where to begin with this movie, it was that bad. The story? Scientists looking for lost tribes in Florida(!) stumble across unscary big toothed monsters in the Everglades. Monsters munch scientists assistants. Bad guys get their come-uppance. Good guy scientists get away. ZZZzzz.With a premise as poor as that it would take some great performances to lift the plot. Predictably enough, you don't get any. The leads were so wooden I had trouble telling them from the trees at times. The support cast fade into ambiguity almost immediatly. The direction was stilted and amateurish. Gratuitous topless scenes were added for the Lord only knows what reason. The monsters simply ended up looking like guys in rubber suits with halloween masks on - you'd more likely laugh than run if you saw one for real.Quite honestly, the scariest thing about this movie is that someone paid good money to have it made at all. Avoid like the plague.
