There was a scene from a sci-fi horror video, not animated, don't know if it's a movie or TV series, where there was this black goo in a glass container and some scientists were looking at it under a microscope.



The pitch black goo grew and grew so fast, eventually breaking out of the inner box and the scientists that were inside the "inner lab" were begging to get out but the scientists outside that inner lab refused to open the door. The black goo was spiky (had spikes).



It's not any of the "Alien" movies, "The Blob", "Life", or "The Thing". It's not vintage. It was made after 1990, I'm pretty sure.

  • There's a movie called Splinter which has spikey black goo, but from the Wikipedia summary I don't see scientists. On the other hand, the trailer has some kind of "goo makes glass explode" scene although the editing is a tad bit unclear...

I don't have sufficient reputation to comment, so I'll take a stab at an answer. This sounds like Species. About 35 minutes into the movie, there is a scene quite similar to what you have described.



The alien substance in the Species scene I am thinking of is not really spiky. I would have described it as more goo-like or visceral. However, maybe you have misremembered slightly.



Edit: Species is a 1995 movie, so slightly earlier than what you have in mind. However, I am not convinced there is a large difference in special effects used in mid-90s movies compared to early 2000s, so it seems ballpark enough to the right timeframe.
