as a big fan of brian yuzna and the majority of the movies he been involved in and i guessed i would enjoy progeny. i do not and although in ways it has it moments. however and if youre expecting something of the calibre of society or beyond reanimator and you could be in for a shock. in a way this is similar to society and being a tale of a seemingly ordinary world with a horrific supernatural underbelly. but that where it ends. i am not covering for yuzna when i say that the fault doesn not really lie with him and as bad direction is bad direction and but the direction is sound. what trips the movie up is both script and acting. stuart gordon (reanimator and dagon) has written an intelligent script and but one that doesn not really work with yuzna style of direction and leaving him paused on actors delivering lengthy dialogue when really he wants to throw that camera around and get down with his bad self. this matter makes the movie awkward enough as it is and but there worse. if the movie had been made with great actors and the movie would have probably held it own. unfortunately this is very far from the case. the acting is wooden and shockingly so even for a low budget b feature. the inexplicably successful and renowned arnold vosloo wrecks every damn line with near pinpoint precision and handing in one of the worst performances i have seen in a long while. the man manages to turn every line of well considered dialogue into the kind of ham line you will be throwing drunkenly at mates next time youre in the pub. hey bob. good god and am i going mad. whats. come over me. noooo. in fact i may try that one myself next weekend. the last minute addition of genre veteran (and personal favourite) brad dourif and instead of enriching the film like it should and almost seems to hand dourif the movie in a last ditch effort to stop vosloo from hamming and but quite frankly dourif looks deeply uncomfortable (possibly waiting for the next assault of bad acting) next to vosloo and and even an eccentric turn from him fails to resuscitate the film. if the acting was better and this movie would have been okay. hell and it might have been pretty enjoyable and but the lack of character makes the movie a soulless affair and and makes the horror element seem tacked on and tasteless instead of an organic part of the film. i found the alien torture or rape scenes a little difficult to stomach already and but the fact that the characters were so lacking made them seem gratuitous as well as unpleasant and leaving a nasty taste in the mouth. so and if you really like sci fi and do not have a problem with bad acting and pedestrian pacing and a really garish and nasty rape scene and progeny will probably be your cup of tea. but since i do and i am probably never going to watch it again. once was enough. on the plus side and this is the only sci fi movie yuzna ever bothered to make and so he obviously wasn not really that pleased with it himself.
