Relative Strangers

Evolution (2001) skewers sci-fi conventions with a ribald, satirical edge as a meteorite bearing extraterrestrial parasites crash-lands, transforming local fauna into rampaging monstrosities. David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, and Seann William Scott form an unlikely trio of bumbling heroes, alongside Julianne Moore’s disbelieving scientist, tasked with thwarting the impending apocalypse. The film relishes in its B-movie absurdities, blending slapstick humour with escalating peril, as humanity’s fate hangs by a thread against a backdrop of rampaging pigs and marauding sheep.
