Director Chris Walas did the creature effects on the Cronenberg original, and he cares more about outdoing Aliens' special effects than about coming to grips with the stock characters, laughable dialogue, and uniformly poor performances.

Stoltz and Zuniga are excellent in a wasted film, managing to get you interested in the characters despite the plot weaknesses.

Stoltz is so innocent and blameless – so pure a victim – that the baddies of the piece, a bunch of evil, exploitative scientists, can be easily targeted and disposed of in the moral calculus of the narrative.
