DNA (1997)

MORGAN'S RATING

The rain forest is beautiful, mysterious...and dangerous. Lurking in the depths of the jungle is a creature -- a menacing creation of scientific experimentation. Now, this monster can no longer be controlled and in an awesome battle of man against nature, one man must destroy it before its terrifying power becomes unleashed.

CRITICAL COMMENTS

"Dumb Predator clone suffers badly due to its derriative and poorly done script that has throw-away characters who are supposed to be important to the story but disappear at stretches without any concern from the other characters and top it all off with the passable (but admitedly not as bad as it could've been) creature design and a totally uncharismatic hero." -- Video Graveyard
