Trivia
The original creature was originally written to be a humanoid alligator with a scorpion tail to be done mostly via CGI - but budget constraints caused the production to go with a special effects costume with large claws and fangs designed by FX artists Thomas Blasco and Skeet Karsgaard in central Florida.

Deadly Species: Bland creature feature

Okay so a research team go out into the Everglades to find a thought extinct tribe of people but run afoul of monsters. Not exactly original stuff.

This heavy b-movie flick keeps the monster to a minimum and thats a shame, this wasn't done for budget reasons as no CGI was used and it was for the purposes of "Effect" then they failed miserably.

With an instantly forgettable cast, recycled plot and a monster that looks like Rawhead Rex (1986) except nude! Deadly Species isn't going to win any awards for....well.....anything but is harmless enough.

It comes under the category of dumb fun, or at least dumb bit of fun.

Cliched, boring in places and never really gets going you can do worse but I can rattle off 100+ movies with similiar plots that deserve your attention more.

The Good:

Cheesy but decent monster

The Bad:

Literally nothing you haven't seen before

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Rawhead Rex has really let himself go

Someone really should have showed that girl how to hold the rifle
