The Mutation

We all know uncork'd' feature output is more or less synonymous with VOD stinkers, but I have seldom seen one as charming, in spite of its utter ineptitude, than The Mutation.

A research scientist has altered a lab rats genom (don't do it kids!) creating what can only be discribed as a poor man's lycanthrope, who, perhaps understandingly, starts gnawing on anything with a pulse.

For some reason the people responsible for this trainwreck chose to set this "story" in America but very obviously shot it in the UK. Something you'll no doubt noticed when hearing the dilettante that act as stand in for actual actors, trying (and failing spectacularly) to read their lines. Seriously, it sounds like they've been equipped with gagballs, so much so that some can't even pronounce their own characters names.

So the film is objectively speaking pure garbage but there is a certain fuzzy (pun intended) warm likable quality to the incompetence on display.

Plus the Wererat or ratwolf if you will, is pretty fun.

With a few friends and a lot of beer, I could see this being a winner, for all the wrong reasons.

........... this movie would get them.

Horrible.

I could have made a better movie with an empty warehouse, a cell phone and some cheap costumes I could pick up at any Costume/Movie Shop.

Run for your life.

I'm glad they made the rat look realistic and didn't just dress up some guy in a rat suit.

I'm lost for words, I settled in for what I thought was a by the book Crap Creature film, instead I sat with glazed eyes not knowing whether to laugh, cry or stab myself to death with a tomato!. Nothing makes any sense at all, no-one does anything remotely plausible, the Police make Chief Wiggum look like Columbo and the creature(which is passable, even though it's never explained why it has arms and legs), goes through the whole film trying to be a werewolf, then suddenly grows to the size of a house at the end,,,,then explodes!!, sorry what!!. I feel bad marking it so low because someone has really tried in some areas, but the direction given to the cast and the tsunami of diarrhoea that comes out of their mouths is by far the most horrific part of the whole film. All in all a missed opportunity.

I can't believe how weak the content, dialogue and poor story.
