DNA

Cinemavixion Review

William Mesa's 1996 film "DNA" plunges viewers into a thrilling B-movie landscape where scientific ambition collides with primal terror. The narrative, centered on a resurrected prehistoric predator, offers a familiar yet effective creature-feature premise. Mark Dacascos anchors the film as Ash Mattley, a resourceful former associate drawn into a desperate hunt. The plot, involving a mad scientist's creation unleashed upon the world, is bolstered by the addition of CIA operative Claire Sommers, adding a layer of espionage to the survival horror. While the film may not reinvent the genre, its blend of action, sci-fi, and horror elements, coupled with a relentless pace, delivers a pulpy, entertaining experience for fans of creature features and 90s thrillers. The creature design itself evokes a certain menacing charm, reminiscent of iconic cinematic monsters.
