A throwback to the 50's low production values, Breeders is a respectable yet suspenseless horror movie that's
tits and ass galore.
I have to say that I'm impressed with the body makeup effects. It's definitely first-rate, even for 1986, rivaling
The Howling and An American Werewolf in London. Obviously, it and
the copious amount of nudity kept me awake every ten minutes or so.
Headlined by a cast of nobodies, the acting, most especially from Teresa Farley who's deadpan, leaves a lot to
be desired, but the script isn't bad with plenty of good ideas. We've got aliens raping Manhattan's virgins to breed new
ones, a female model snorting a line of cocaine before taking her clothes off to stretch for a while, and a white slime
pit that's full of naked women. What more can you possibly want? The best of all is: it's a short movie with a sweet
running time of 77 minutes.
All in all, low-budget and exploitative at the hands of a gay porn director, Breeders is the kind of film
that can be found in the back channels of cable TV at 3 o'clock in the morning.
