Not bad This movie was creepy in its own way. It was a nasty, creepy, especially when the alien is raping the doctor's wife. Oops, spoiler. Arnold Vosloo did a good job acting...and he definately had the body for it. :>
alien abduction A doctor becomes suspcious that his pregnant wife isn't carrying his baby but was knocked up by an alien instead. Surprisingly good for a movie with nobody you ever heard of in it.
a colossal waste of time What the hell is wrong with all you people! this was the biggest waste of tape i have ever seen. not only did they cheat us out of plot, they cheated us on gore. Amazon is selling this giant turd of film for $103.99. Who would buy "Progeny," a retarded attempt at sci-fi...or is it horror....or is it a sappy romance with soap opera-like actors....whatever it is Brian Yuzna can shove it up his pootie tang. don't rent it and sure as hell don't buy it. i will now cry tears of sorrow for my two dollars...
Stuart Gordon Creates Another Thriller Considering that this is by Stuart "Re-Animator" Gordon, it bears a much closer resemblance to Dagon than Re-Animator is atmosphere and style.
A doctor and his wife are trying to have a baby. One night they are interrupted by a bright light and they discover that two hours have gone by. The husband is bothered by this but really freaks out when a bright light flashed in his eyes causes him to space out for a few minutes. His wife is now pregnant.
Hypnosis and seeing a TV spot about alien abduction gets him thinking.
The film progresses nicely as the doctor becomes more and more convinced that there is something wrong with the baby his wife is carrying. One of the great things about this film is that you are kept guessing as to whether he is crazy or not.
This is much more of a psychological thriller than a gore fest, so those looking for the gore may be disappointed (there is a little), but those looking for a film with actual creepiness will find a tasty treat with this one.
One other note, you might notice that the husband is almost always on screen (he does an excellent job).
"Better than Re-Animator" If I could give this film 6 stars, I would. This movie is OUTSTANDING!!! It's from the same guy who directed Re-Animator, Brian Yuzna. A married couple happily await the arrival of their first child, but little do they know the nightmare that awaits... Great special FX, interesting plot, & A++ acting. This film has been one of the most slept on horror movies in the past couple of decades. It's a classic, up their with "The Exorcist," "American Werewolf in London," & "Dawn of the Dead." If you don't have this movie already, GET IT!! It will be OOP very soon.
