Regenerated Man

Ted Bohus produced the enormously entertaining THE DEADLY SPAWN and its quasi-sequel METAMORPHOSIS: THE ALIEN FACTOR, so a film he directed about medical experiments gone awry should be good right? RIGHT? That is not the case with this cheap-o production. While there are some gooey effects and even a bizarre stop motion dream, the movie is just lacking in everything else.

Dr. Robert Clarke (Arthur Lundquist, looking like a young Paul Giamatti) has been experimenting on himself with no results. But when some thugs break into his lab and pour the right chemicals down his throat, he turns into the Regenerated Man. Said man heads out into the city every night and kills people. But he is a good Regenerated Man and seems to only kill criminals harming people. Det. Winter (Greg Sullivan) is on the case, which is bad for our Regenerated Man because he handles every case in the city and connects them all. Can Robert and his hot scientist girlfriend find a antidote before it is too late? After 89 minutes, will you care?

Watch this movie! It is the most laughable thing made by human beings. Every Friday the thirteenth me and the guys rent this movie and watch it. You want to become a member of out gang? No problemo, all you have to do is watch "The Regenerated Man" and still be alive after the movie is over. It is THAT bad - it can kill a man. Love this movie. I voted and I gave it 1 point (alas, there was no Zero). The film makers would appreciate my vote. It does deserve such a high score because of the good laugh it impacts on viewers.

There is that scene in the movie where the main character is watching a horror flick on TV. Mind the monster! There is another ridiculous monster at the end of the movie that must be the crappiest CGI ever produced. The script is trash and hey, they have Pete DeLorenzo in the cast! Holy Cow, this movie is such a torture to watch and is highly laughable at the same time.

Dumbest joke on Earth. Love it!

Pretty standard low-budget sci-fi/horror fair lumbering out of New Jersey. This one owes a lot to The Incredible Hulk, maybe a little Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and even a bit to American Werewolf in London (at least the transformation effects were most reminiscent of that movie). Probably best described as on par with some of the lower-end stuff put out by Full Moon. The script is often funny, though it's hard to tell whether or not the humor is intentional. The acting is flat in some spots and over-the-top in others. All in all, it's pretty uneven and amateurish. I suspect that those involved could make something better with some help on the writing and a bigger special effects budget.

It's hard to recommend this to anyone in particular. If you like Charles Band, you may find this one momentarily entertaining.

First things first, if you dig cheesy horror flicks, whacky special effects, and boobies, you should enjoy Regenerated Man. It's not fantastic, but it is a pretty fun 90 minutes to blow if you like this type of thing. Which I do, and I know others do as well.

Story revolves around a doctor who's force fed some chemicals from his lab by some loser thugs. Not long after, he becomes the bone-shootin', T-Rex roarin', well-dressed monster of regeneration. The Regenerated Man is a complex character who comes and goes from the normal scientist to the monster at odd times, and when in monster form, tends to only kill bad guys. Weird, but fun.

I wasn't expecting much from Regenerated Man, but I ended up enjoying it for what it was. A nice, chewy piece of So Bad It's Good cinema. Definitely worth your time if you enjoy cheese, monsters, stop-motion animation and boobies.
