In 1993, the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence Project receives a transmission detailing an alien DNA structure, along with instructions on how to splice it with human DNA. The result is Sil, a sensual but deadly creature who can change from a beautiful woman to an armour-plated killing machine in the blink of an eye.

- Spanktacular1d ago"We decided to make it female so that it would be more docile and controllable." ...It was the 90s. Peak Giger, incredible cast of legends, and they really tried to shoehorn in that model what with her boobs and all. It's an extended X-Files monster-of-the-week episode with your favourite stars of the 90s.
- ZokkiieJune 21, 2025This is a mix of sci-fi, horror, and action that sounds cooler than it really is. The idea of a half-human, half-alien woman on the loose is interesting, but the movie leans too hard into B-movie territory. The effects were probably impressive back in the day, but they haven’t aged well and look pretty dated now. Natasha Henstridge stands out in her debut, but the story is kind of silly and the dialogue is clunky. It’s not awful, just kind of average. Fun in a cheesy 90s way, but don’t expect anything deep or scary.
