⭐️⭐️1/2
The Warriors of Terra are a head-strong group of animal rights activists and they are currently scheming to break into a bio-tech lab to put an end to some suspected cruelty. Ali believes her distant father is experimenting on animals at the maximum security facility where he researches cancer cures. Ali’s boyfriend Chris (Edward Furlong) is a security guard there and also an inside man for the Warriors of Terra. Ali joins their cause, swipes her dad’s security card and refuses to part with it when she meets up with the well-prepared and tech-savvy group of activists. So in she goes with them, making an enemy of the group’s bitchy, stubborn and awful leader Jade in the process. Welp, there’s no animals to rescue within and a raised alarm brings in a heavily armed security force. This has the Warriors of Terra on the run and descending deeper into the lab’s catacombs where it’s discovered the secret experimentation has been done on a young cancer patient and, as these things go, it’s turned her into something that’s not quite human. She’s released from containment and now her mutated ass is happy as hell to find she’s got a buffet of the liquified human organs she feeds on. Adding to the shit storm is the decontamination protocol the lab owner has put in place to eradicate anything in the subterranean corridors where our heroes find themselves. Ali’s father shows up to attempt to stall the protocol but those big-ass secrets need to stay hidden. It doesn’t matter all that much because Maya (said lady-monster) is pretty damn efficient and slaughtering folks with her tentacles that stretch from her fingers and tongue and inject a liquifying toxin into idiots. It takes a bit to get going and there’s more than a couple annoying characters but the whole “people trapped in a facility with a monster” is my kind of scene, so leeway is given and I’m always happy knowing Edward Furlong collected a check… hopefully it was larger than the special effects budget. There’s annoying editing choices and everything feels longer than it is but it’s a mildly fun time if your standards are low for the direct-to-DVD trash that came out in the new millennium.
