| Plot: | S.E.T.I - Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence - sends a message to outer space to whatever intelligent life form out there might be listening. Around twenty years later, S.E.T.I receives a message back from an unknown life source, giving S.E.T.I their version of the DNA structure and instructions on how to mix that life source's DNA with the DNA of the life on earth. The science team successfully creates a creature, a hybrid with both forms of DNA, in which they codename Sil. Due to some mistakes, however, the experiment had to be terminated. As they are gassing Sil with Cyanide poisoning while she helplessly panics inside a heptagonal glass casing, Sil who was then a young teenager breaks out of the lab and successfully manages to escape. Sil causes trouble, murdering innocent people, and then she sits in a cocoon on a train and erupts a fully grown woman. Sil might be incredibly gorgeous and very intelligent, but she proves to be extremely deadly. She is on a mission to try and mate with a human male, but the science team that is gathered has to quickly catch up to her and stop her, for if Sil manages to mate with a man, she could produce offspring that might destroy the entire human race! |

Goofs
|
BOOM: Visible in the reflection off the glass patio door when Robbie brings Sil back to his house. BOOM: Shadow, on the train compartment, above Dan's head. Continuity: Sil has a tan line, contact lenses, and pierced ears, all of which she could never have obtained within the movie's world. Continuity: The kidnapped lady suddenly is sitting up as the car rolls down the hill. Crew: Dressed in black, pushing a dummy out of the car that is speeding down the hill. Continuity: Sil is in the process of removing the swimwear from the "hot tub guy" when the good guys show up to get her. But after she notices they arrived for her, the swim short on the guy seems to have been pulled back up to the guy's waist. Continuity: SPOILER: When the search crew is standing around the dead man in the bloody water of the hot tub, one shot shows the water clean and clear. Fact errors: When the scientists try to kill young Sil they flood her cell with what is supposed to be cyanide gas. That gas looks like white steam, whereas Cyanide gas is invisible. Continuity: The alien's son at the end of the movie is circumcised. Having just been born, and not having the ability to immediately follow quaint US customs, he probably should not have been. |

Xavier Fitch: We decided to make it female so it would be more docile and controllable. Preston Lennox: More docile and controllable, eh? You guys don't get out much. Agent: Criminologist says there's no evidence of semen in the hot tub water. Preston Lennox: Well, maybe she took it with. [while drinking Long Island Iced Tea] Dan Smithson, Empath: These are some good cups of tea, man. Xavier Fitch: A train came through here about the time she escaped. Agent: Is she that fast? Xavier Fitch: She is *that* fast. Dr. Laura Baker: I got his machine. Should I leave a message? Preston Lennox: Yeah. Tell him he's about to copulate with a creature from outer space. [Preston laughs and Laura smiles] Preston Lennox: No one ever asked me to find anything they didn't want dead. Dr. Stephen Arden: [to Sil, after they finished having sex] Oh my dear... I enjoyed that immensely! Preston Lennox: Let go of him you motherfucker. Sil: [on Laura's perfume] Smells nice. Can I try some? Dr. Laura Baker: Yeah, help yourself. Sil: Does it work on your boyfriend? Dr. Laura Baker: Yeah, as a repellent. [walks away] [first lines] Xavier Fitch: I'm sorry. Young Sil: [mouthing] I'm sorry. Dan Smithson, Empath: I thought I was dead. Preston Lennox: I thought you'd drank your last Long Island Iced Tea there, Dan. Dr. Laura Baker: Yeah, I thought we all had. Hey, you okay? Dan Smithson, Empath: Yeah, I'm okay. My pants are a little messed up, but I'm okay. Dr. Laura Baker: She was half us, half something else. I wonder which was the predatory half. Preston Lennox: The dead half. Let's get the hell out of here. [last lines] Dr. Laura Baker: Ahh! I never thought I'd be so happy to be back in a sewer. John Carey: Oh, no. I think someone's at the door. Sil: Don't go. Please. I want a baby. John Carey: [shocked] *What?* Excuse me? Dr. Stephen Arden: [Last line before Sil pounces on him, naked and they have sex] What about protection? Dr. Stephen Arden: [Seconds after meeting him, the beautiful Sil is undressing and trying to seduce Stephen] This sort of thing doesn't usually happen to me. Dr. Stephen Arden: [to his surprise, Stephen walks in to his motel room to find a stranger, Sil, standing inside listening through the wall to a couple having sex in a neighboring room] Who are you? What are you doing here? Sil: I saw you downstairs, but you were with all those people. [She approaches him, slipping the shoulder straps off her dress to expose her breasts] Dr. Stephen Arden: Wh... What are you doing? [Sil kisses him] Sil: It's not too soon for us to be together. [She kisses him again. Stephen stops resisting and starts undressing, himself] Dr. Stephen Arden: [Stephen and Sil have just finished having sex. Sil seems distant for a second, but then chuckles excitedly] What? Sil: I felt it! Dr. Stephen Arden: Felt what? Sil: It's started! Dr. Stephen Arden: What's started? Sil: Life! Dr. Stephen Arden: Oh, my darling girl! [laughs condeceningly] Now, I know in some south african tribes women believe they know the exact moment of conception, but really... Sil: Don't you beleive me? Here, feel! [She grabs his hand and holds it against her belly] Dr. Stephen Arden: [Stephen does indeed feel something in Sil's womb and his smile suddenly fades] Holy Shit! [Sil covers Stephen's mouth to muffle his screams as she transforms into her alien form and kills him] |
