For once, Brad Dourif doesn’t have the craziest performance. Arnold Vosloo (of The Mummy) gave the script his very best shot, overacting to his heart’s content. The only scene that really wowed me with effects was the artificial impregnation scene, that was wild.

Brian Yuzna ranked

unlike communion this didnt even happem

she describes the translucent spring roll/noodle greyliens as "short... light-skinned...."

"Progeny" is a surprisingly dull alien/impregnation film from Brian Yuzna and Stuart Gordon. Honestly, I don't know if it's the beer, but I just finished this film, and I can barely recall anything happening. Imagine a bad "X-Files" episode without Mulder and Scully, and this is what you get: a "Species" rip-off without the fun schlock. Plus, it's hard to take the aliens seriously when they look like Forky from "Toy Story 4." It wasn't nearly as funny or as schlocky as it needed to be, and that surprised me considering the people involved.

Edit* On a side note Brad Douriff once again proves that he can make just about anything watchable. He has such a magnetic screen presence; it's hard not to be engaged whenever he's on-screen.

• A film about cum.

Does for low sperm count what Psycho did for the showers. Billy Zane lookin' ass gets cucked by some aliens who gangbang his wife in an attempt to trick them into raising it as their own. Some fun glimpses of that Yuzna swag but otherwise a dull DTV looking melodrama about what to expect when you're extraterrestrially expecting.

Low-key kinda loved this? It's as if Yuzna took Communion and stripped it of any self-seriousness and that is EXACTLY where I needed it to be. This is just between you and me, computer, but I can't believe I used to not like Yuzna mostly because of my apathy towards Society. The only way this could have been better is if Brad Dourif had danced with the aliens, pranced with the aliens, swung and swayed and crumped with the aliens.

Yuzna’s extraterrestrial/surgical rendition of Rosemary’s Baby in VHS, B-genre form that’s anything but sterile or restrained, featuring an array of goopy hallucinations and perspired psychoses endured by Chucky and Imhotep themselves—sound good? It is! Seems it could be overindulgent and resultantly farcical, but the commitment — and not in faux seriousness — is exceptional, and with the exhibition of some stellar effects work nailed onto its alien(-head-rearing) abduction tails, it’s destined to rock—all it needs is a little boutique-label love to help let it shine.

theres a total weird tripspace kenesis to to this film i cant quite examine properly or articulate. its pacing is absolutely busted like the timing belt has fucked on the engine, but when its at the H I G H Revs its absolutely wild sweatdreams of abduction and gooey alien sex and constant medical insemination and dissection by both alien and human are pretttttttttty rad and weird and i love it. When it gets to the obvious fluffed out plot stuff, it stinxxxx hard. Typical Yuzna then
