SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

ben-eck It's crazy to think that in 1997, the year of Titanic, Gattaca and the Fith Element, someone out there thought that this film was worth spending money on. Watching a VHS rip on Youtube now, you could be forgiven for thinking this was 10 years older still - and yet, even the Running Man makes more sense. Nonetheless, if you like your films amusingly bad, this will hit the spot. Every character is a two dimensional stereotype (the sadistic PE teacher is a perfect cliché creation), the story makes no sense except to serve the special effects, there is slime literally everywhere, a pseudo-scientific script is jazzed up with a few f-bombs (they draw the line at motherf---er though. This is a family film!), and - of course - boobs. I counted 6 female characters that get a speaking part (of whom: one does no more than complain about slime on the carpets, another only gets to say "but he's so hot!", and another, despite TWO men warning her not to manages to cause a catastrophic explosion), and three of them have exposed breasts. That's a 50-50 getting to at least say something out loud : objectification ratio. Dear oh dear.One great idea to come out of this though: use of pollen as a weapon. Autocratic regimes of the world, stop wasting your money on water cannons and tear gas - this is the future!

Aaron1375 This movie features a world where the sun beats down on the earth and causes serious burns right away as the ozone is gone. This is done very well of a movie of this type as it does resemble a b movie. The movie also features many unique crazy effects as a house is turned into a very dangerous rain forest type environment as a scientist is trying to find a way to make durable plants and such to stand up to the super harsh climate. He has a son and wife and they have to move around because someone does not approve of the experiments. Well at the new house they arrive at there is an accident right away and right away the house starts to get overrun by the various fungus and plants that the scientist is developing. Meanwhile, the son is having trouble adjusting to school as the school he is attending has the most extreme bullies ever as they not only beat you up if you talk to one of them's girl they stake you in the blistering sun which is why this movie fails, the characters are so unbelievable. The father, the mother and the coach and all the bullies are way to over the top and ruin what could have been an okay movie. Though granted it would have been nothing great considering the severe lack of things to do with a house full of bizarre plant life.

raketentyp this film is definitely one of my favorite trash thingies around there ... laura harris makes every film, ohhm ... i dunno, strange? such brilliant ideas, so many bad b-grade (gut native-funny) actors and a plot that seems to be born in a great rush of wodka or something... i love this. like i said, one of my favorites. if you like b-movies and in some kind independent, this is just the GODESS! mercié

spanky_mcgillicuddy By no means anyone's definition of a good movie, Habitat does manage to put forth a few moments that make it worth sitting through...though only once. It has a pretty unoriginal plot involving a "mad" scientist's attempts to "kick evolution in the butt," though in a movie like this plot doesn't really mean anything. There a few special effects that are laughable, but on the other hand there are some that are quite good. Overall the performances are as bad as the rest of the movie, though Laura Harris shines as Deborah, the girlfriend of Balthazar Getty's character--and I'll admit, her nude scene is pretty swell. Overall, don't bother with this movie unless you are a rabid Laura Harris fan.
