Errors of the Human Body

Definitely a far underrated movie. Probably disappointed horror fans expecting a straight genre movie are giving bad votes. It takes a while to establish it's world, but then it all contributes to a smart and involving thriller-drama. The way the main character's destiny and realistic experimental genetics are connected is not only fully believable and moving, but develops an intriguing and threatening dimension. Aesthetically and technically the film is surprisingly convincing, camera-work, pacing and music is remarkable. Michael Eklund's lead performance is outstanding. I can recommend that one.

This movie was an average medical drama about a man made virus but there was a twist toward the end.

The story was ok n the plot was good n there was some tension n suspense.

Acting was really great n the characters were likeable too.

There was no action at all but it is a drama.

The ending was good with a heartbreaking twist.

I recommend this movie especially if you like medical dramas n good acting.

What a surprise. Very impressive and very Cronenbergian.

This movie is excellent in almost every aspect, except for the plot that isn't very strong (but has a good ending).

Excellent cast (all unknown to me, except for an old Rik Mayall in a dramatic role), cinematography, score, direction, practical effects and makeup. Great filming locations and atmosphere. Very impressive acting by the lead actors (Mayall is also great).

It's too bad that the plot is not strong enough, otherwise I would have given it a higher score. Still, I give it credit for all the elements above, the originality and risks they took and the high quality result.

Firstly the marketing is clearly wrong as horror it is not. Secondly it is just way too long, it has no substance to it whatsoever. Thirdly don't employ a TV actor who believes themselves to be a method actor as they take the job way to serious. This is the key problem with this film, it wants to be a serious piece and as the genre elicits it cannot be taken seriously. In the end you are just bored and care nothing for any of the characters, as for the actual ending, well that goes on for about thirty five minutes but feels like another hour and a half.

5.1 of 10. The first 2/3 of this film are technically magnificent, then it seems to acquire the same tumor/virus this modern industrial sci-fi film centers upon.

There are defects early on that hint at the writer/director failing to understand the subject and not knowing where he's going. Characters have flaws, defects, and strengths that simply don't fit. The acting, setting, filming, and atmosphere, however, make up for it. The story, minus the little defects, is also well told and creates immersion and suspense. Then, maybe in some attempt to become more of an action/suspense film, it becomes nearly a constant cliché and nonsensical for the last third.

The filmmaker has talent as a director, but really needs help as a writer after the initial idea and plot development.
