Species: The Awakening (2007)

A slimy, naked, alien with a head like a pixie hat kills a bunch of people in a hospital, and then morphs back into her human form, which is a beautiful young woman named Miranda. Her Uncle Tom - whose name can't help but make you laugh - whisks her off to Mexico to search for his former scientist partner, Forbes, who might be able to save niece Miranda as she is the alien seed of their previous experiments.

Yeah that's about as good as it gets. Forbes has let his failed experiments run around the town as they will eventually die. Good move there. His success story walks around town dressed like a nun and sometimes morphing into an alien killing machine.

Forbes tells Uncle Tom that Miranda is at the end of her life span and the only way to keep her alive is to give her blood. So Uncle Tom goes hunting for someone to kill. Yup. It might sound exciting, but it's really not.
