Movies like Species II

John Carpenter's classic horror film involves shapeshifting alien creatures in Antarctica. Much like Species II, the sense of paranoia and the visceral effects of the alien encounters make this film a thrilling experience for fans of intense extraterrestrial horror.

In Pandorum, astronauts wake up on a spaceship with no memory and soon discover that they're not alone. The movie's mix of science fiction, horror, and a claustrophobic setting will appeal to fans of the tension and terror in Species II.

In Splice, two scientists push the boundaries of ethics by splicing together human and animal DNA, resulting in a dangerous creature. This movie captures the scientific hubris and horror elements that are also central to Species II.

As the predecessor to Species II, this sci-fi horror film sets the stage with the original story of Sil, a deadly alien-human hybrid who escapes containment to find a mate and propagate her species. Fans of Species II will appreciate the origins of the terrifying and seductive extraterrestrial beings.

Directed by Guillermo del Toro, Mimic features genetically modified insects in New York City that evolve quickly and pose a threat to humanity, echoing the hybrid and evolution themes explored in Species II.
