Species: The Awakening Box Office Collection: $3800000
Species: The Awakening was released on 17 October 2007. It is a Horror, Science Fiction, Thriller film with a running time of 98 minutes. Produced in United States of America. This page is part of Filmoria's growing Horror collection, covering everything from UK release dates to where to watch.
Filmoria's Take: It has had a more divisive reception than most. Now an established part of the catalogue rather than a new release. If you are into Horror, it is worth a look.
Species: The Awakening isn't currently listed as available to stream, rent or buy in the UK. Check TMDB for the latest UK availability, powered by JustWatch.
I wonder if, when Ben Cross walked onto the set here for the first time, he considered that as career nadirs go, this is almost as bad as Jeffrey Hunter's. No more "Chariots of Fire" (1981) just the other kind of chariot that swings low - and very low at that. This time, our sex-pest alien is dying. It falls to scientist "Tom" (Cross) to race to Mexico to start injecting her (his niece!!) with life-preserving drugs. Of course, though, those drugs trigger in "Miranda" (Helena Mattsson) her far more visceral instincts and with carnage ensuing it's a race against time to arrest the violent mating season. The whole thing is poor: the writing, the visual effects and the story could all have be cobbled together by some drama students after a day on the weed and the tequila. The acting is frankly pretty woeful and the star's accent is all over the place. There must have been some appetite for this - has it become cult? Anyway - I really wouldn't bother if I were you.
