...while, director Roger Donaldson (No Way Out) keeps it all working smartly, like a serrated knife on the viewer's nerves. And the creature creators, H.R. Giger and Richard Edlund, make Sil in her alien mode look variously like evil pudding and a spiny octopus. The monster isn't the problem here; it's the humans, Sil's pursuers, who make Species turn specious. One of them (Forest Whitaker) is an "empath" who can intuit everything about Sil--her moods, motives and fears--everything except that she's standing right behind him.

Today the same package sells for $2-a price that Mrs. Edlund concedes is "ridiculous."
