There’s nothing like an alien visitation when all the aliens
want to do is procreate which is exactly what you get in Deadly Instincts (aka Breeders)
(1997), which is a monster movie of the late ‘90s which is more fun to watch
than it is smart. Written and directed
by Paul Matthews this film plays to the lowest common denominator but at least
there are enough females barely clothed, monster killing people and action to
keep you entertained from beginning to end.
Todd Jensen is college professor Ashley who when not
instructing the students in higher learning is sleeping with a student and has
a strange crush on a woman whose been hanging around the campus since a meteor
crashed. With a little snooping around
(and a couple murders…disappearances later) he discovers that the woman he
keeps seeing is actual and alien who has been impregnated by another alien
monster and that this alien monster wants to spread its seed to the other women
of the campus of which his girlfriend is just one. Now, Ashley has to figure out how to defeat
the creature and save the women from becoming incubators for more alien creatures.
There is nothing new in this late ‘90s film that you haven’t
seen before but the film is quite entertaining and fun in its simplicity and
the performances may not be spectacular but they do carry the film without
becoming too campy (which is the fun of this type of film anyways). The monster is also quite interesting with
makeup FX that is quite good for this type of film. This film may not win any awards but it’s also
not a complete waste of time either.
