Polymorph, Hunks and Babes Taken Over by Killer Alien

A camping in the woods story...with an isolated cabin under siege by an evil alien.  Oh yes!  Can this plot device be beaten?  This is an unusual one...a B horror film that is really a C film...with great acting and terrific looking talent.  The story is compelling, deaths are heartbreaking, and the babes in peril really are babes!  Today we look at 1996's "Polymorph," directed by J.R. Bookwalter.  

Dr. Clark (Pete Jacelone) is combing the woods for an alien craft that fell to Earth.  Uh oh...psycho-cocaine babe Tarper (Sasha Graham) will find it after she murders the good doctor and his security guy.  I should say, the oozing blob, glowing green, finds her and enters her body.  Now the coke-babe is the alien.  Along come the doctor's two interns, Ted (James L. Edwards) and Bill (Joseph A. Daw).  Even better, Bill brings his hot GF Alice (Jennifer Huss).  Even better, Alice brings Donna (Ariauna Albright), a redheaded babe who she intends to fix up with Ted. Lucky Ted.  The four get a long swimmingly and in search of Dr. Clark, come across Tarper's cabin.  She is now the alien and tries to kill them. Even worse, also arriving at the cabin are three drug thugs looking for their cocaine.  Carlos (Tom Hoover), his henchman Franco (Leo Anastasio), and GF Regine (Pam Zitelli).

A war takes place in the cabin.  Tarper, or the alien is seemingly shot to death.  Ted, Bill, Alice, and Donna escape into the woods.  The druggies pursue.  So does the alien, now out of Tarper's body.  Uh oh, the alien looks for a human host.  It enters the host, killing the host, and sets off to murder everyone else.  Donna and Ted get close.  Alice and Bill are already close.  Carlos and his gang are ruthless.  Gunfights and murder ensue...all the while, the glowing blob alien looks for a corpse.  It will have its choice.  Catfights to the death will occur.  Donna will put on a revealing, sexy black huntress outfit.  The two factions, or what is left of them, realize they will have to work together to defeat the alien.

Will the redheaded beauty Donna in her new revealing commando outfit engage in a catfight with the sultry blonde Alice?  Will the alien take advantage of these two babes and...well, never mind.  Will the two factions, now working together, be able to stay collaborative or will they again try to knock off one another?  The polymorph is vicious and once it takes over the human host, it gets nasty.  For a terrific 1990s straight to video scifi/horror epic, see "Polymorph" and try to guess if one of the babes will be a Final Girl.
