Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Leofwine_draca DARK BREED is another hit from the team at PM Entertainment, who seemed to put out minor gem after minor gem in the years 1996 to 1997. This one's a heavily derivative science fiction thriller in which a team of astronauts are infected by alien organisms which turn them into ruthless killers. Only B-movie favourite Jack Scalia can stop them, aided by a female alien on his side.Sure, this is a film that blatantly copies bits from ALIEN, ALIENS, and THE TERMINATOR, but that doesn't stop it being a decent piece of entertainment. It's very fast-paced, for a start, and very violent, with all manner of gruesome death scenes taking place throughout. The trademark PM vehicle chases and crashes are present and correct, and a strong cast does well with the material too. Even the early CGI effects aren't bad. Watch out for ROBOCOP's Felton Perry as one of the infected, George 'Buck' Flower as a tramp, and UNDER SIEGE 2's Jonathan Banks as the chief villain.

Rainey Dawn Starts out with a space shuttle crashing into the water, the military stands by and getting ready to rescue the people inside w/ a fear of contamination. The guys that crashed jump out of the water (infected by the aliens) and starts killing, jumps into vehicles and the military chases after them - car crashes and things explode during the high speed chase! Next the military are after them for the rest of the film and there are scientist/doctors that want to check out the men infected.The infected men will go back to being themselves and then the aliens will take them back over again - so there is some back and forth with that going on.We have no idea why the aliens are wanting to take over earth... but they have eggs to hatch to "raise" an army of their own to do so. Maybe the earthlings made them mad to begin with by trying to take there eggs.Lots of cheesy 80s action going on in this 1996 film... if you like that and aliens then you might like this movie!! 3/10

Vomitron_G Sh!t from outer space keeps crashing onto earth at the start of this movie. First a spaceship with evil alien parasite-infected astronauts. Then a cocoon-canister with alien eggs. Then another lifepod thing with a female astronaut inhabited by a good alien. The female is the ex-wife of Jack Scalia, and he is the star and co-producer of this thrill-ride sci-fi/horror action-fest (okay, I'm exaggerating things a little bit here). Scalia & his alienized ex-wife have to team up to stop the evil astronauts, as they are here to take over the world (with the bunch of eggs helping them to inevitably create an alien army). There's one cool car-chase sequence early on in the movie (actually, it's a truck-chase sequence and why those aliens decided to steal a truck is beyond me). The rest of the film contains a lot of shooting and military folks running around. The special effects are passable, some highlights: the space shuttle crashing in the harbor, a pretty gory autopsy sequence and two nifty rubber suited aliens near the end. At one point or another, "Dark Breed" might remind you of films like "The Hidden" (good alien teaming up with a human to kill the bad aliens) and perhaps even "Predator" (the facial design of one of the evil aliens). Needles to say those are far better movies than "Dark Breed". But it gains an extra point for blowing up a lot of things.

zeppo-2 Actually, things explode a lot! Much of the film's budget must have gone on explosives, cars explode, buildings explode, everything explodes at some point....The special effects are pretty well staged for a low-budget,straight to DVD/video but the plot gets a bit lost in all the smoke. And I couldn't help feeling there was a really good story trying hard to get out along the way. I would have preferred the film to concentrate on the characters a bit more rather than just sketching them as one dimensional stereotypes. The film was at it's most interesting when it went into 'conspiracy theory' territory.Sadly, most action films are judged on their special effects these days and if you want a film with lots of action, albeit it all a bit pointless at times, this will suit you fine.If there is ever Dark Breed 2, be nice to have more story and less explosions.
