The premise

Having just returned from a mission to Mars, Commander Ross isn't exactly himself. He's slowly becoming a terrifying alien entity with one goal -- to procreate with human women! When countless women suffer gruesome deaths after bearing half-alien offspring, scientist Laura Baker and hired assassin Press Lennox use Eve, a more tempered alien clone, to find Ross and his brood. Before long Eve escapes to mate with Ross.

Horror Vault's take

A Mars mission returns with more than its crew bargained for, as one astronaut begins a horrifying physical and psychological transformation driven by an unstoppable alien imperative. The body count climbs fast as a trail of grotesque pregnancies leads investigators toward a reckoning they may not survive. Scientists and mercenaries alike must race to contain the threat — enlisting a dangerous asset of their own to track the predator down. Species II leans hard into creature-feature excess, delivering the kind of gory, pulpy sci-fi horror that pulls no punches.
