...minute film, silent and in muzzy black and white, has enough implicit melodrama to fill a satisfying sci-fi epic. But some people believe, or hope, that it may be genuine--evidence of an alien life form on earth, conceivably connected with the report (and alleged government cover-up) of a UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. Professional skeptics find the film a clever or clumsy hoax. Others believe it's real, but not from Roswell. The UFOlogical combatants duel it out in magazines and on the Internet while poring over the footage with an intensity not lavished...

...like Species. Films, of course, can still do a thing or two that haunted houses can't: develop elaborate story lines, depict complex emotions, lift the audience by means other than hydraulics. Species, written by Dennis Feldman, does some of that, at least in its first hour. This sci-fi horror opus also has the summer's sexiest High Concept: Alien meets The Fugitive. The escaped monster is on the prowl for a mate in Los Angeles--and she's babe-a-licious...
