"A fleet of UFOs is circling the Earth and a top scientist races to discover their true intentions for the planet. When the UFOs begin an attack on Earth, the scientist finds himself thrown in with a sheriff and his deputies transporting some prisoners to jail. The unlikely group is forced to seek shelter from the attack in a nearby cave, not knowing how significant it is to the alien's plans," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis.

Peter Maris' "Alien Species" probably heated up a few 1990s video players, with its title and young cast. Star-billed supporting actors Charles Napier (as Sheriff Nate Bridges) and Hoke Howell haven't much to do; instead, the film focuses on "young talent". More seems to have been expected from Marc Robinson (as Paul Towers) and Jodi Seronick (as Carol Nelson) than the others; although, Kurt Paul (as Harlan Banks) is more enjoyable than not.

The titillation level is relatively low, you show know; the sexiest scene is when Mr. Robinson carries Ashley Semrick (as Stacy Chambers) out of the cave, close to the end. ("Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high…") Perhaps the all too quick and confusing conclusion would have been clearer in the "Coming Soon", but canceled, follow-up "Alien Species 2 - The Invasion." Oh, well, there is still time...
