Please rate movie 1 to 5 stars
A smart take on bioethics and the implications of genetic engineering with great performances from all three leads. Audiences really had issues with "body horror" in general, and it's a shame.
Ugly baby didn't grow up with manners
what a waate of time and money - Does Adrian Brody ever read the scripts - since THE PIANIST, he hasn't done anything worth watching - particularly this film.
Alright movie.
Expected this to be another typical scary movie. It was not.
Too predictable -I've seen the same simple plot over and over again
If your a horror fan you might want to go and see it for yourself it's better that way.
This was HORR-Endoussss! Save ure money ppl.
This movie could have been better...but yet, Canada makes another lackluster film. I thought Brody was decent, Polley was boring and the plot really needed some good tweaks. One or two good scenes brought this up to two stars for me.
Watching this movie was like seeing a man in a kilt. You know what's under there, but are still shocked when a gust of wind comes along. Wonderful film making, not at all overshadowed by the size of Adrien Brody's nose.
I only went because my teenage son wanted to see it and I ended up actually enjoying it.
The first half of the movie is a quite interesting tale about the misuse of science. "Why are we doing this? Because we can" The second half degenerates into schlock horror and concludes with the most predictable ending since.... the last schlock horror movie released!
Best sci fi film I've seen in a long time. Special effects were excellent.
Good suspense, science fiction thriller. Plot is believeable; one word of caution! This is not a movie to be holding a bag of popcorn; lots of sudden surprises is all I will say... enjoy.
REALLY SCARY! Freaky baby!
Great movie, a bit unusual and far fetched, but the actors were great.
Good notion, bad execution. Bug eyed creature is almost laughable as are performances by leads. Only thing missing was cheezy music and startling images. Other than a lack of everything, this could have been a good movie.
This was an unusual one, and I'm still not sure what to think of it. Somewhat Cronenberg-ish and had some really cool ideas, but ultimately fell short of it's potential. Visual effects were so seamless they were unnoticeable tho, which was awesome.
This was a good movie, but not as disturbing or scary as the reviews led me to believe. Good but not great.
The best Canadian film in the last 10 years. Filled with original ideas and a terrific sense of humour.
Very weird movie.
totally twisted and i'm loving it !woohoo
it should be a comedy instead of thriller
Boring, insulting, and unintelligent.
Just wild! I wanted to procreate immediately after seeing it!
Horrible script and awful movie direction. Shakespeare, Huxley, Orwell etc. or not, you would have to have an IQ below 100 to ACTUALLY believe this was in any way a good movie. Ethics and the idea aside, a bad script is simply-- a bad script. end of story.
It's just not what I thought it was going to be.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY,,,,want it to give a big fat "0" there's none.
Its a movie that questions human ethics. It has some intense scenes, but mostly a movie that shows how the lines of right and wrong can get skewed and the implications of that. I personally like the premise and how the movie developed and ended. But if you are looking to go get mindless entertainment, you won't find it here. I would suggest that the majority that didn't like movie, were looking for that or are incapable of looking past a few controversial scenes to look at the real issues the movie was presenting.
This is a very provocative if not great science fiction/horror film that really challenges the viewer to think about the ethics of gene splicing and cloning. If you have ever read any classic literature like Shakespeare, Huxley, Orwell, and Mary Shelley etc., which many of these other reviewers have not, you will discover all of the great themes of classic literature. Most of these other reviewers appear to be young people who think that blood and guts and special effects constitue a good movie and don't see beyond these elements. I also suspect that many of these reviewers have IQ's below 100.
awful - downright dumb and a complete waste of time.
preety good...i guess
this movie is not that bad, so being under rated
Funny and touching.
Very disturbing and immoral, but makes you think
I have never, ever written a review about about any movie that I have seen and I've seen too many that wasted my time but nothing as disgusting and distastefull as this load of sh**, i wish that the person who came up with this garbage reads the reviews and never writes another movie in their life, just freekin retire...or jump of a bridge either or is fine. dont even rent it ppl.
If you are deciding whether to see this movie, I suggest reading reviews on imdb instead. Not because they praise it, but because you'll get a better read on what the movie is about, and what makes it SPECIAL. It seems a lot of people aren't capable of accepting something different. I gave it three stars. Sorry that it was sold to you as a scary movie, you got swindled into something a little more smart and bold. Odd though, since horror/sci-fi in my opinion shouldn't really make you comfortable! If the movie doesn't make you feel or think ...what's the point?! I don't take my girl to see romantic pictures so she'll be amused, I take her so she'll be filled with amore and swoon to my a
What a waste of time. This movie had so much potential. Unfortunately, it ended up being a mess of a movie.
It's just sick!
Awful, disturbing, disgusting! I can't believe somebody would even come up with an idea like that!
Don't waste your money by going to the show to see this movie! Wait till it comes out on dvd and get some friends together for a good laugh at a cheesy sci-fi movie.Terrible acting poor story line and what a love story.Too bad the story line had such good potential!I can't think of a scary moment in the film other than I had just forked out money to see it.
The movie is not scary it's funny! That's how bad it is! Don't waste your money at the show wait until it's on video and be prepared to watch a cheesy sci- fi for laughs.
Terrible. Everyone seems to be missing all the misogyny. Plus the rape scene. And all the "spliced creations" looked like penises. Am I the only one that noticed this??
The dance scene was the worst ever, only re-action this movie received from the crowd. We all laughed so hard because it was sooo terrible. Surprised it was in theatres and not sent straight to the $4.99 rack...
Scary on a psychological & ethics level.
My local paper's movie critic rated this quite high. Not sure why, this drek is horrible. The acting was very weak, the story was never fleshed out. Too many side stories and some underlying abusive parent thing that kept flipping back and forth not to mention the hate / love flip flop Brody does. I agree it was a good story with real potential. The movie simply tried do do too much and failed with everything.
This movie deserved a lot better. It had an original idea, but the director, writing and acting were just lame and idiotic. Too bad, it had a lot of potential.
Barely any gore for a 18A flick, no epic kill scenes, just weird mutant fetish porn
Awful. Awful. Awful. I thought it was boring & lame.
ONE crappy movie fo'real. 90+ mins im not going to get back. the whole room everyone was "boo'ing". had high expectations, but was all a failure. Dont waste your time and money.
