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.

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.

Science Fiction Thriller_ Set in Germany- An American genetics researcher is confronted with the dangers and ethical dilemmas of advanced genetics research; from risking human lives to balancing the need for human welfare/discovery against the ethical dilemmas of researching on mice and men.

This movie excels in its genre for abiding to science. The science of this story is more cutting edge than it is theoretical.

The Movie introduces the viewer to an unexplored setting, a modern research laboratory. Any one who has been to one in the quiet of night (good labs are open 24h/7d) knows the director didn't have to invent the creepy feeling you get crawling through the loud yet quiet architecture that yields no familiarity even to seasoned laboratory scientists.

Eccentric characters exist in the movie but none were unrealistic (I've met enough strange scientists to confirm this.)

Having been personally acquainted with top tier research labs (City of Hope, University of Arizona, and Stanford) I must commend this movie for being the first to ever accurately depict the look and feel of a high level research lab.

It was, at times: Reminiscent, Sad, Sexy, Scary, and Thrilling. A great Surprise.

*I must comment on the above review by- ordinary review. Mice, by there nature, are difficult to handle and pursue; even when you're a "top-notch scientist" & (especially outside a controlled lab environment). Secondly, there was no "vision of industrial Germany" commercial labs in California or Washington are similar and reside in the same type of semi-remote location approximately 30 minutes range of a downtown center.

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.

I honestly cannot understand why this movie is currently rating so low at IMDb. In my opinion it is one of the most intriguing and original thrillers I have seen in many years.

In some ways it is quite unique in that while at first it seems like a Cronenbergian body horror film, it turns out to be a "horror of the emotions" in which good intentions certainly do lead the well-meaning characters to their own especially cruel versions of hell.

Michael Eklund and Karoline Herfurth were absolutely terrific, diving into their roles with 100% commitment. And Rik Mayall was a revelation in the first serious role I've seen him play.

To me this is an amazing feature debut for writer/director Eron Sheean, most definitely a talent to be watched.

I hope people can overlook the low rating and give this film a chance because I feel it certainly deserves the attention of discerning cinephiles.
