Comments: You know, for what it is, Subspecies isn't all that bad. The direction, script, and score each brought enough to the table to make a mostly competent film. My main complaint was with our villain, Radu, who was so ridiculously over-the-top. It looks like Anders Hove shoved his face in a bucket of white paint before each scene. Plus, he has these ridiculous extensions on his fingers that made me laugh anytime he had to grab anything because they didn't look like they worked at all. Oh, and how can I forget those little creatures that ran around with Radu? Are they even necessary in this film? It shouldn't come as a shock that they're here though, as Charles Band produced the film (he also has been apart of the Puppet Master series, the Gingerdead Man series, and numerous other pint-sized killer movies). Outside of that, the rest of Subspecies is half decent. It's not required viewing by any means, but it's a good enough watch for horror fans.
