    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Actress Jillian McWhirter, who plays Sherry, said in interview how the scene where she gets raped by giant alien monster was shot but then due to some problems it had to be re-shot two different times. This is why the scene is so short in the movie. Originally the scene was meant to be longer, the alien monster was gonna try and calm Sherry down by fondling her nude body with its tentacles while holding her (just like other aliens did in earlier scenes), and part where it rapes her was also gonna be longer and more graphic. Three still photos showing McWhirter filming the original version of the scene in different location than it happens in the movie and while covered with slime on top of giant alien monster puppet that was used in the scene did appear in Femme Fatales article about her.

      [About his wife's abduction by aliens]

      Dr. Craig Burton: Why would they do this?

      Dr. Bert Clavell: I don't know. Who can know? What do you figure animals think about when we experiment on them?

    • Crazy credits
      Harman, Camille James was interviewed as herself for the Bonus Material on the DVD because she experienced the so-called "alien abduction" phenomenon herself.

    Badly written but well acted alien insemination flick
    It's a pity that story creator Stuart Gordon didn't write the screenplay for The Progeny, because it couldn't possibly have been more unimaginative and predictable than Aubrey Solomon's concoction. As with most Brian Yuzna films, the production values are high and there's a good cast led by Arnold 'The Mummy' Vosloo (I'm about ready for a new 'Ah-nuld' in action flicks, aren't you?) and always reliable Brad Dourif. If you can overlook the cliched script you'll enjoy the Progeny.
