Honestly the first time I saw this movie, it scared the freakshow out of me. I was very young (10 I believe) so that could be why, because now it turns me on for some reason. Natasha Henstridge is so hot in this movie. I think its worth the download just to watch her be sexy the whole time. In 1997 she was #1 on Femme Fetale’s Sci-Fi 50 Sexiest Stars. Its got a great cast of characters as I think they made the right decision in that aspect:

Ben Kingsley…………………….. Xavier Fitch
Michael Madsen…………… Preston Lennox
Alfred Molina…………… Dr. Stephen Arden
Forest Whitaker…. Dan Smithson, Empath
Marg Helgenberger……….. Dr. Laura Baker
Natasha Henstridge……………………….. Sil
Michelle Williams………………… Young ‘Sil’

Species starts out with an interesting idea: that an alien civilization would radio us a plan to genetically engineer a new (and far superior) race, which would inevitably destroy us all. Natasha Henstridge (who looks great naked throughout most of the movie) is “Sil,” the code name of the first of these creatures, which escapes from captivity much too easily and begins marauding Los Angeles in an attempt to mate. Sil is a femme fatale in the purest sense of the word. Believe me, when she says “no,” she means it, as one guy who tries to take advantage of her quickly finds out. I think she actually impregnates him or something…down his throat…its pretty crazy. Of course, Henstridge steals the show and makes the film nearly watchable. She looks almost inhuman as it is…and some of her transformation sequences are almost too real. In fact, I once dated a girl who…well, but that’s another story.

Where can I find this Flick?
