🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative at the intersection of sci-fi and body horror, relying on the central moral dilemma of a scientist blinded by ambition. It explores the limits of ethics and an obsession that blurs the line between genius and madness.
What lingers after the viewing is the grim atmosphere of a laboratory nightmare, complete with cult practical effects and a tense search for the 'perfect' body. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Joseph Green

Watch late at night with the lights dimmed to soak in the vintage horror and sci-fi gloom.
