Having escaped the clutches of a handsy date, a young girl is walking in New York at night alone. An old man walking his dog begins escorting her. The old man turns into an alien monster and rapes the young woman. There have been a series of brutal rapes in that area of Manhattan. All of the victims were virgins, and all are now in the hospital, comatose.
Assigned to investigate the cases is Detective Dale Androtti (Lance Lewman). He interviews the doctor for the victims, Dr. Gamble Pace (Teresa Farley). They end up teaming up to try to find out more about the rapist. There are very few clues to go on. Five women have been brutally raped in five days. On the victims was an organic substance but they can’t identify it. The women also look as if the rapist used some kind of acid on them. Before the women became comatose, they each described a totally different person as their attacker.
The rapes continue. Eventually the clues lead Dale and Gamble to the abandoned subway tunnels under Manhattan General Hospital where a shape-shifting slimy alien has been trying to mate with human woman to reproduce.
“Breeders” was released in 1986 and was written and directed by Tim Kincaid. It is an American science fiction horror film.
The acting is atrocious. Everyone delivers their lines as if they are reading them off of cue cards and everyone’s movements are wooden. The plot is thin and the overall story slow. I can’t even call it a so bad it’s good movie. If the acting had been over-the-top instead of just stiff, I might have had a better opinion of it. There was a little camp in the movie but not enough to make it really entertaining. The only thing going for it was a lot of naked women and a slimy humanoid-fly-like monster that you didn’t get to see much of.
The movie is basic exploitation but that’s pretty obvious with a title like “Breeders”. Also, the nude to clothed ratio is pretty equal here. You get a lot of boobs and even some total female frontal nudity. It borders on soft-core porn. Of course, all the men are fully clothed. Believe it or not it could be considered a low-brow rip-off of “Humanoids From the Deep” 1980. The main theme of both films is similar, alien seeks to have sex with human females, object, procreation. There’s a word for that… Exophilia.
