Mutant Species 1995

Overview

Mutant Species is a 1995 horror and science fiction film that explores the consequences of a failed military experiment. The plot begins when a rocket carrying bio-hazardous material, intended for disposal in space, crashes in a remote wooded area. An army team is dispatched to the site to recover the cargo. The situation escalates when one of the soldiers becomes infected by the material and mutates into a monster, resulting in the deaths of most of his team members. One survivor manages to escape the carnage with the assistance of a brother and sister who reside in the woods. He subsequently attempts to stop his former comrade while simultaneously evading a second army team tasked with destroying all evidence of the incident. It is revealed that the bio-material was designed to create a super-soldier but was later banned. The crash of the rocket appears to have been a deliberate act to ensure the experiment could proceed. The film has a runtime of one hour and forty minutes.
