Fourth And Final..??

 

 (imdb)

SPECIES: THE AWAKENING-2007-A college professor Tom (Ben Cross) admits to his fake niece Miranda (Helena Mattsson) she was created in a lab from DNA strains from outer space. After she transforms into a monster with a deadly tongue and slaughters a hospital staff, Tom takes her to Mexico. While searching for his former partner Forbes, he's chased by a monster Nun. Finally, he meets Forbes (Dominic Keating), an idiot English guy who makes clones of dead people using the alien DNA. 

Like the first 3, it features nudity, an alien sex scene, gory SFX and is clearly the worst in the series. Director Nick Lyon has made a lot of mindless junk like ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE (2011) and RISE OF THE ZOMBIES (2012).

Beware of The Following Image






BLACK FOREST-2012-In Germany, two geeks, a husband & wife, their baby and nanny and a doctor who has dreams about his dead wife take a "mid-summer's eve" tour. Ben Cross is Cazmar, their cheerful (and spooky) guide. He has them form a circle at a min-Stonehenge type place and a fairy appears. The the couple's baby disappears. 


They find a weird house and the nanny decides to take a nap. She's attacked and eaten by 7 dwarfs. Then a big bad wolf kills one of the geeks. Soon after the wife falls into a coma (like Sleeping Beauty). 


The remaining group meet Karin (Tinsel Korey) who resembles the doc's dead wife. She's actually in league with Cazmar because she was taken by "the people of the hill" (aka: the fair folk) when she was small. They are mad because people stopped believing in them long ago. Now they capture people (especially children) and take vengeance. Cross's performance is very wacky and almost saves this dumb tale.

Short But Not Sweet





RAGE-(1995)-is an ok martial arts-action film with kick-boxing champ Gary Daniels (the same year he was in the live action version of FIST OF THE NORTH STAR) as a school teacher who becomes an experiment for some mad scientists (who previously had only used illegal immi-grants as guinea pigs) and spends the rest of the movie kicking, shooting and crashing. A lot of glass is broken and Daniels has a fight with an S & M couple! A news reporter tries to help clear him. Director Joseph Merhi is an old hand at this sort of thing.



THE INVADER-(1996)-is a weird but ultimately dumb sci-fi time waster with a bevy of unemployable has-beens. Sean Young plays an infertile woman who mysteriously becomes pregnant after being kissed by Ben Cross. Turns out he's an alien and the two run away so she can have his baby. Daniel Baldwin is Young's sheriff-boyfriend who's in hot pursuit of the them. Nick Mancuso is the bad guy alien who also wants the baby.

The director, Mark Rosman later did some kids TV shows and the Hilary Duff movie A CINDERELLA STORY."
