Species I + II (1995 / 1998) - 4K UHD + Blu-ray Limited Edition “Mutation” Hardbox Artwork by Sveta Shubina - Imprint Collection #509 - 510

MEN CANNOT RESIST HER. MANKIND MAY NOT SURVIVE HER.

Imprint Films is proud to present our first collaboration with artist Sveta Shubina, renowned for her series of ‘Good Girl Art’.

Sveta has taken her brush to sci-fi 90s classics Species and Species II, illustrating brand new artwork exclusively produced for this Limited Edition release, depicting the malevolent alien-hybrid Sil in both her human and extraterrestrial forms.

Both films have been restored from their original camera negatives, presented here on both 4K UHD and Blu-ray in this 5-disc set, and are oozing with hours of Special Features.

Directed by Roger Donaldson, and featuring creature character design by H.R. Giger, Species (1995) stars Natasha Henstridge in her film debut, alongside a stunning ensemble cast including Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, Alfred Molina, Forest Whitaker, and Marg Helgenberger. Species II (1998) sees Henstridge and Madsen reprise their roles in another chapter of slimy carnage, directed by Peter Medak.

    “We decided to make it female so it would be more docile and controllable.”
    ”More docile and controllable, eh? You guys don't get out much.”

This strictly Limited Edition packaging features a large hardbox with original full-frontal artwork by artist Sveta Shubina, and a removable PVC slipcover with partial printing.

This is a heavy, bespoke collector’s item, measuring 24 x 32cm, weighing in at 2kg, and comes replete with comprehensive physical extras:
