“Specific.” And yes, “interspecific” is a word.

Was it a comedy? Because I laughed heartily when Adrian Brody got it on with the creature. When the creature turned from female to male and attacked the woman scientist and said in a really low, creepy voice, “inside you,” I completely lost it. It was so bad it was hilarious.

I thought the movie was OK, for the first 80%+ percent, like the rest of you. I did appreciate that they made the female scientist so unlikable, especially as a lead actor.

I liked it. Predictable in the end, had a flashback to “Carrie” at the conference, but it was much higher quality and bigger budget than I expected. Then, I watch a lot of low-budget horror (it’s the most fun!), so in comparison this was a big-budget film to me.
