Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

David Roggenkamp One mad scientist's dream, results in one man's downhill journey from death to oblivion as an otherwise dead man, brought to life again and again, slowly becomes tortured with the process and goes insane; his only wish is to die.The rest of the film is spent exploring what it means to be the dead brought back to life and if the human body can survive without being able to feel. The mad scientist and the medical student continue their experiment to see what the eventual outcome will be.The movie shares an interesting premise. It is not uncommon for movies go to into great detail of how humans may spiral out of control with their sanity as they become the victims or willingly as the test subject of an experiment.I cannot say the movie is bad; it seems to be aiming at being a suspense film with slight bits of horror involved. The movie takes a look into the human mind and the philosophy behind trying to make the dead live once again. The movie is far from cheerful and would be quite disturbing to normal television. This movie will certainly fill that niche if you are looking for semi-horror with a good plot behind it.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=5183).

smorris405 I watched this last night and was very impressed. From the opening of the film to the beautiful expansive shots of the cabin location, I would never have known it was shot on such a small budget. It is obvious this is someone's baby. I'm certain a great deal of gratis work went into it. I can only say well done!This film is a treasure for anyone interested in a great character study! I watch low budget indie films a often. I know it was not an easy thing for the team that made a fine film! I highly recommend. When I first rated this, I gave it a 7. After seeing the micro budget, I happily raise it a point! Cheers!

linkerro Anybody who expects to see a horror movie will probably be disappointed by this one, mostly because it's not much of a horror movie. The Frankenstein connection is pretty thin (only a name similarity and the whole "brought back to life" business).The story is about two men on a secluded mountain top trying to figure out the secrets of bringing people back to life after death and cryogenic stasis. A failing medical student with a shaky sense of morality and a doctor who seems to be hiding more than the cure for all humanity's suffering, that is the bulk of the characters that you will see on screen. This is probably the reason why this movie is so much a play for the senses. All the characters emotions, all the drama of the transformation, all is first shown, recorded, and played out afterwards in flashbacks, amplified, hurried, prolonged, altered. All the sounds are delayed, distorted, blurred, but just enough to get you to feel exactly the way you should feel at a particular point in the movie. It's all about curiosity, it's all about subtlety, and about not letting the rabbit out of the box. And it's all about telling a story using as few "fireworks" as possible.Don't expect a movie that deals with the life after death issue. Try to watch it as a movie dealing with the mistakes a scientist can and will make when attempting to do the work that is beyond him, without knowledge of all the variables. Or at least that's how I see it.The twists in the plot were interesting, though not all unpredictable. The acting was impeccable. The location couldn't have been better. I can only wish more movies were as well done as this one.In the end, if you like a movie that leaves you with a few questions after it's over, than this one is for you.

KillerCadugen I have to admit I was intrigued by this new look at the Frankenstein ideal, but despite the number of times Adam (Christian Oliver) died and was resurrected and Vick (Dean Stapleton) battled with the complexities of his formula and its side effects, the story never seemed to go anywhere. How about a insight into death and what may lie on the other side? How about some moral or ethical message? I will say this, the acting was quite good and I liked all the performances even though Stapleton bore an uncanny resemblance to Jack Nicholson (probably intended) but this was one of those movies I was waiting to end so I could put something else in.
