"Species III" is a 2004 science fiction horror film and the third installment in the "Species" film series. Directed by Brad Turner, the movie stars Sunny Mabrey, Robin Dunne, Robert Knepper, and Amelia Cooke.
The plot of "Species III" continues the story from the previous films. After the events of "Species II," a new alien-human hybrid named Sara (Sunny Mabrey) emerges as the next stage in the evolution of the alien species. As Sara matures rapidly, she becomes a target for both scientists seeking to study her and a government assassin, played by Robert Knepper, aiming to eliminate her.
Dr. Abbot (Robert Knepper) and Dean (Robin Dunne), a geneticist, join forces to understand and deal with the evolving threat. The film explores themes of genetic manipulation, survival instincts, and the consequences of playing with the building blocks of life.
"Species III" received mixed reviews, with criticism directed at aspects such as the plot and special effects. While it didn't achieve the same level of success or cultural impact as the original "Species" film, it maintained the franchise's exploration of science fiction and horror themes related to genetic experimentation and extraterrestrial hybridization.
