Intentional Or Not, "Breeders" Is A Funny, Offbeat Spoof of

"Prior to his release of the hilarious, offbeat "Breeders," what did Tim Kincaid direct? Porno? You bet! (He did it under the name of Joe Gage.) The cast for "Breeders" is a gorgeous one; however, the acting is atrocious. It's as though the actors never could make that transition from adult film to soap opera. Teresa Farley ("Bad Girls Dormitory") is the ravishing Dr. Gamble Pace; her acting is very stilted and her expressions are deadpan as though she is reading her lines from a teleprompter. The script, also written by Kincaid, is trite and silly. The acting, dialogue and sets reminded me of the porn films during the seventies, the ones that actually had decent plots.



Partially intoxicated, I watched "Breeders" and discovered it to be an enjoyable spoof of those nostalgic films where aliens and sea creatures abducted women in order to mate with them and save their dying species. Whether the humor is intentional or not, I'll let you be the judge. Nevertheless, there is definitely a lot of female nudity. (No sex, but gratuitous nudity.) Some of the scenes, especially the ones involving the alien tearing itself free from a human host, are genuinely gory and repulsive. I found them difficult to watch while eating my nachos. Many young people die as the alien creature terrorizes Manhattan; this will satisfy horror fans, like myself, who appreciate a high body count. The plot is ridiculous: An alien searching for beautiful Manhattan virgins to impregnate. Good luck! Obviously this film was released before Samantha and her friends came on the scene in the hit HBO series "Sex and the City."



"Breeders" is recommended for those who enjoy movie spoofs such as "Scary Movie," "Epic Movie" and "Date Movie." It is recommended for the gratuitous nudity, the high body count, the gory death scenes and the Brian De Palma-like ending that actually shocked and startled me. It's worth seeing for the scene where five beautiful, naked women are lured to the alien hot tub where they smear a creamy milk-like substance (don't even think it) all over themselves and each other. It's interesting to see the kind of mainstream film that Tim Kinkaid directed when he wasn't directing gay porno.

Amateurish but guiltily entertaining sci-fi horror.

"Cheesy and badly acted, but really amusing sci-fi/horror flick about an alien running loose and impregnating women. This 77-minute feature is mostly an excuse to show a lot of nudity, and it's probably because of the major abundance of T&A (especially from the very sexy Frances Raines) that this is as fun a movie to watch as it is. Hilariously awful acting from Teresa Farley as the doctor.
