While the Boston Plague is crippling the city, Taylor Lambert (Neil Napier) investigates a big conspiracy that might be behind everything - a conspiracy that has Peter Whitefield (Bruce Dinsmore), an industialist propagating healthy living, and the mayor as its evil orchestrators. But to prove his theories, Lambert has to shoot the mayor in broad daylight and take his blood sample. Of course, Lambert is shot not too long afterwards, but he has found just enough time to hand the blood sample over to Ben (Gil Bellows) and Lisa (Maxim Roy), two journalists and ex-lovers who are now forced to work together again to uncover the scandal and save us all from the Boston Plague. After some shoot-outs and chases, Lisa and Ben bump into bum Malcolm (Judd Nelson), who's actually an alien and who tells them that Whitefiled is an alien as well and at the center of a conspiracy that involves using humankind as a breeding species for his own race - which is why everybody has to be infected with the Boston Plague, which creates perfect breeding conditions.

Turns out that Ben is the only human who's immune to both the plague and the alien insemination, which is why Malcolm wants to create some common cold virus out of his DNA to make everyone else immune as well. But before that can happen, everybody is captured by Whitefield and his henchmen, and it seems the baddies have won ... when Ben somehow manages to break free, inject his blood into the feeding mechanism of the breeding apparatus which houses all the city's Boston Plague victims. Ben's action makes all humans hanging on it instantly immune and Whitefield's breeding plan a giant miscarriage. Then Ben kills Whitefield, who has since turned into a reptile-like alien, by simply smearing Whitefield's face with his blood, which is, as we now learn, poison to all aliens.

This achieved of course, the world is saved and Ben and Lisa rekindle their relationship ...

 

A pretty boring sci fi thriller, a film with a pseudo-intelligent story that's actually full of plotholes, boringly familiar alien-effects somewhere inbetween Alien and David Cronenberg's Shivers, and a bunch of mediocre actors who do little to actually carry the film. What's worse though is that the film is totally devoid of any real suspense or shocks, two things crucial to a movie like this, and fourthermore director Adam Weissman doesn't even try to create anything remotely resembling atmosphere.

Pretty much a waste of time.
