PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Platypuschow Okay so a research team go out into the Everglades to find a thought extinct tribe of people but run afoul of monsters. Not exactly original stuff.This heavy b-movie flick keeps the monster to a minimum and thats a shame, this wasn't done for budget reasons as no CGI was used and it was for the purposes of "Effect" then they failed miserably.With an instantly forgettable cast, recycled plot and a monster that looks like Rawhead Rex (1986) except nude! Deadly Species isn't going to win any awards for....well.....anything but is harmless enough.It comes under the category of dumb fun, or at least dumb bit of fun.Cliched, boring in places and never really gets going you can do worse but I can rattle off 100+ movies with similiar plots that deserve your attention more.The Good:Cheesy but decent monsterThe Bad:Literally nothing you haven't seen beforeThings I Learnt From This Movie:Rawhead Rex has really let himself goSomeone really should have showed that girl how to hold the rifle

Woodyanders An expedition to find the fountain of youth in the Florida Everglades runs afoul of vicious big-mouthed predatory monsters. Director Daniel Springen, working from a blithely pulpy script by Bull Suchy and Rory Penland, relates the enjoyably cheesy story at a brisk pace, makes sturdy use of the dense secluded swampland locations, builds a substantial amount of tension, pulls out the thrilling stops for the lively conclusion, and tosses in a few nice naked boobies and an okay sprinkling of gore for good measure. The acceptable acting by the competent cast keeps the picture humming, with sound work by Pete Penuel as likable college professor Dr. Brinson Thomas, Allison Adams as Brinson's spunky wife Marta, Brian Minyard as slimy millionaire big-game hunter Wilson Friels, Jeff Brozovich as Wilson's menacing flunky Derek Neal, Britt George as macho photographer Laird Kleeger, William Cefalo as the amiable Todd Bender, Smara Ibanez as the foxy and jealous Nichelle, Heather Petrone as the cute and sweet Lori, and Kristina Moore as the fetching and sassy Allison. Stephen Campbell's slick cinematography makes energetic use of a Steadicam and gives the movie an impressive polished look. Jon Greathouse's throbbing tribal score hits the stirring and spirited spot. Moreover, the rubbery man-a-suit beasts possess a certain funky retro 50's creature feature charm and the film overall radiates a winningly earnest quality that's impossible to dislike. A fun little flick.

goldstein-3 As an award winning writer I really enjoyed the movie and found it very entertaining. It had a good plot, was scary and although some viewers had a bad rating for it I consider them not educated enough to see this as a good screen play well worth watching. Some of the actors though needed more polishing up and the monsters could have looked a little more realistic, but movie making takes a lot of money and a high risk of loosing it, so with what budget they had I rate this movie excellent for entertainment. As a collector of classic movies & cult movies I am considering owning this one and viewing it over and over again. I have written over forty books and several plays with many awards to my name so I figure I am a good judge of what is a good screen play and Deadly Species in my opinion is a good screen play and one I would like to own.

mauricesdevaraj I've read so much about 'B' movies not being really serious. And everytime I watch one, it gives lie to the statement. Congo, Anaconda are just two of the movies in my opinion that this film tried to draw from. Miserably though.
