Such a frustrating disappointment

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Like others here, the only way I saw this was ON DEMAND cable. No way any sane person should pay to see this. But maybe so since it does have entertainment value in that parts of it are so bad it's funny. This film hasn't made IMDb's bottom 100 but it deserves to be there. I can't give it a 1/10 since I hear director Tim Kincaid made worst movies; such a rare breed!Here's some of the bad and ugly:Acting could sweep the Razzies. Teresa Farley is Dr. Gamble Pace who teams up with detective Lance Lewman to produce an extraordinary lack of chemistry. Teresa seems to be reading from a script at her feet and Lance is busy trying to impress no one. Best acting was the mugger/rapist with a knife. For about 1.5 seconds he was convincing.There's plenty of nudity and it's suggested that every woman is killed in the act of disrobing whether doing aerobics, standing in the kitchen, walking in the hospital or talking to mom on the phone. However, that's not true. The homeless old lady in the basement of the Empire State Building was also killed. Oh yeah, she's probably a virgin like pretty Dr. Pace. And then there's the bizarre: model Frances Raines does her naked strip and walk in the hospital past the bearded man. Kincaid apparently saw Mathilda May's naked girl in Lifeforce, the British cult sci-fi. Who was that bearded guy? Only the curious will find out.Watch out for the brilliant next-door Halloween party special effects by Ed French. Plenty of bright red paint splattered. The make-up and special effects look like the haunted house in the neighborhood that's set up for Halloween. And don't miss the rubber aliens and the goofy-goo ending robotic orgy bath scene. To end, Kincaid channels Brian De Palma's classic ending with Teresa Farley as Nancy Allen.

The Manhattan General Hospital has admitted a string of young women who have been raped by something otherworldly...I like when films start with reptilian creatures grabbing women and carrying them off while gobs of gore splatter on the ground... no disrespect to fair maidens, but seeing them abducted is far more satisfying than if it were young men -- is that sexist? Not sure what is up with the very ugly model and terrible tan lines. I mean, I know it was the 1980s, but is this the best New York had to offer? And then there is a long sequence of her working out nude while cheesy music plays. The film is not that long to begin with -- if you cut out this very gratuitous scene, you could probably have fit the whole film into an hour slot. (Director Tim Kincaid is primarily a gay porn director, though, so maybe this should be expected.) Nice effects on the chest-popping scene... Somehow this went from being distributed by Wizard Video to MGM... I hope Charlie Band made a few bucks off of it.If you want to see some of the ugliest, boniest women naked on screen for far too long, this might be the film for you. Besides that, it does not really have that much to offer. (There is a strange, subtle message that sex before marriage is bad, though -- only virgins get impregnated by "breeders". Be a whore and you will be safe!)

Thanks to the wonderful fast-frames feature Netflix provides for their streaming movies, you can watch this truly awful movie in about a minute and a half. Who would ever actually sit and watch this in real time? Or could? But clipping along at 16x, its actually kind of fun. Is there any purpose for making this movie other than showing blood-drenched naked chicks having sex? No, of course not. But it fulfills this rather well. So unless you get off on this (I don't), there's no point seeing it unless you just enjoy watching a truly awful movie (I do).So...imagine my joyful surprise when this incredibly hot super-hunk shows up wanting to play button, then rips off his leather jacket. Woof! 10 stars for the bare-chested Pat Rizzolino, billed as the intruder (and we were led to believe this was the safe part of the East Village!)Thanks, Mr. Gage!

This is a movie that I owned for such a long time, why? Because it was so bad, it was good. In my personal vision it was a huge guilty pleasure that I'm guilty of owning. The story tells of a mysterious occurrence of young virgin women getting raped and experiencing selective memory loss. The only problem is, the people who are responsible for this violent act some sort of slimy creature that lives beneath the city. Things become even more complicated when the DNA match turns out to be not human. What this movie does do a good job of is the gore and creature features that are peppered throughout this tale. However, what this movie does not do a good job is the acting. It had a very interesting concept of combining pornography with horror, through even with good intention it fell through the roof.First off, this movie had some very good gore and creature effects that I did not expect this movie to have. When it came to things popping out of people's stomachs, tearing open skin, attacking people and horrific creature design, I will give this movie a standing ovation. There was one scene, in particular, that really mesmerized me when it came to make up and effects. Ted, one of the photographers, has one of the Breeders coming out of his chest and we see him tear open his chest skin while pockets of pink, slimy flesh start to pop out. That was probably the worse scene in the entire movie. There was a great "Scanners" scene were a head explodes and a Breeder emerges and a horrifically creepy end scene where all the virgin women are bathing in a pool of alien sperm. This movie just freaks me out when it comes to make-up and creature features.The acting in the movie was far from good, though surprisingly not the worse. You have Teresa Farley, who plays Dr. Pace, and Lance Lewman, who plays Det. Andriotti who had some great potential but they were much too somber even when things were coming to a boil. They didn't seem dedicated to their role or even put effort into trying to look panicked or scares. One line of dialogue, uttered by Lewman's character, should have been yelled but instead it was said, "Your f**king bananas." You have painfully over-dramatic roles that came from Frances Raines, Natalie O'Connell, Amy Brentano and LeeAnn Baker, otherwise known as the main virgins in this movie. The movie wants you to feel sorry for them, but they all seemed too stuck up and paranoid for me to feel sorry for them. In other words, they were begging to be taken.What this movie tried to do and I will give them credit for a good concept with good intentions, was to combine "soft" core porn with a horror movie. There were plenty of scenes with naked women and a lot of sexual related themes; in fact, it's almost like a reworking or even homage to Cronenberg's Shivers. However, after seeing so much nakedness the nudity became overrated and very redundant, like there was no need for a woman to come home to her kitchen and just strip to take a shower. It's almost like the girls wanted the role so that they can show off what they have, only problem is, they have nothing to show off. They tried to combine suspense with this concept and it just looked weird and awkward for an alien to attack and rape a naked young girl. It just seemed way too uncomfortable for any kind of thing to do that.Overall, there was some bad acting and a failed concept of horror-porn and some top notch creature effects, but I enjoy watching this film for those exact reasons. I have my share of guilty pleasures, two being Chopping Mall and Snakes on a Plane, and this is another timeless classic that failed when it came out, but has a cult following. I would recommend this movie to those who enjoy cult classics as well as any horror movie fan, though if you are younger then you may want to avoid it because of the nudity. In my opinion, its probably one of the great cheesy and stupid horror / sci-fi movies of the 80 and I think it will go down as a timeless classic.
