Craig and Sherry are tying to have a baby. One night while having intercourse, there's a bright light. Two hours goes by in what felt like two minutes, and neither of them recall afterwards what actually happened.
Soon thereafter, Sherry is pregnant. Only, Craig's sperm count is too low and the chances of him making Sherry pregnant is one in a million. Both Craig and Sherry undergo hypnosis in order to remember, and realize Sherry has been impregnated by aliens. This sets in motion a terrible ordeal as Craig wants to abort the child (or offspring), while Sherry wants to keep it.
Some of Brian Yuzna's movies are downright awful, while some are absolutely amazing. Thankfully 'Progeny' is also one of the better ones. Experiencing the events with Craig and Sherry as they unfold, I thought this is actually a darn good movie. The practical effects are really good - especially during the final act.
As with most of Yuzna's movies, 'Progeny' gets more intense and bizarre as the film develops, and its quite wonderful. Arnold Vosloo delivered a good performance as Craig - a distraught husband torn between the love for Sherry, and what he believes to be the right thing to do. Interesting ending...
