    Solid, old-school Retro Horror...

    Okay, first and foremost, let me take my pants off. Just kidding... No, First and foremost, this film will delight you ONLY if you are a real fan of films described in my summary above. It is ULTRA low budget, but you really have to admire how well they did with what they had. I thought for very low cost creature effects, the creators / directors of the film did an excellent job in making them as believable as possible and actually truly scary at times. You could tell that the directors had a nice natural sense of how to visualize what they wanted; for example, without giving too much away, just the simple scene with the little guy in the jar was really quite good. When compared to MANY other similar scenes in Horror or even Goofy, NOT-Serious Horror (A La 'GREMLINS', for example) where you would use similar effects, I really felt that they made it very believable and lifelike, which went a LONG way in involving and truly immersing you more in the film.

    Sure, as some others have stated here, there are some pretty Cheeeeeeezy moments, but even compared to MOST of the Horror crap that has come out during that time and even within, say, ten years of this being made, I think this one very much holds it's own in drawing the audience in and creating a decent level of tension. There are also a nice twist or two that adds to the entertainment value of the movie. One transformation scene, which I WON'T go into because I do not want to enter Spoiler territory, was honestly quite effective and well done, despite some of the scornful comments from a couple of other reviewers here.

    The acting is nothing to get too excited about; we don't see very much from the veterans here, except the usual Rod Steiger getting worked up to either an orgasm or heart attack, take your choice... I personally liked Brad though; he had a rather entertaining personality. Everyone else was adequate; the British girl was decent, of course the accent (to us easily impressed Americans) always helps.

    I'm NOT trying to say that this is by ANY reach of the imagination an 'ALIEN', 'SESSION 9', or 'EVENT HORIZON', believe me; but for the modest intent of the film and for PRECISELY what it is, it comes across surprisingly well. So, like I mentioned before, IF you are indeed a fan of these kinds of films, then you should have a lot of fun watching it...

    [5.5] Not so satiating

    Well-made (almost) for 1987. Nothing much to talk about aside the scientific experiments leading to creatures formation with big suspension of disbelief. The music is too loud, the situations not that tense for (all) the protagonists, only for some who really got "dirtied" in the process with one very interesting partial transformation.

    Aside those, the quality was really shocking even for 1987, taking in account that Alien was a masterpiece born in 1978. So after 9 years being served that 'Kindred' was not so lubing and satiating.

    A Decent monster movie!

    A man who's scientist mother recently died has been told that she created a genetically made baby brother named " Anthony" but it turns out that it's a fully grown mutant monster that murders people, only the man can stop this freak of nature.

    Entertaining little flick with good acting and an OK plot, the creature itself looks a little H.R. Giger-esque, recommended if you like " Jurassic Park", " Species", "Resident Evil" and " From Beyond".

    5/10.

    * * * out of 4.

    Dying woman (Kim Hunter) tells her son (David Allen Brooks) to destroy all of her lab work and that he also had a brother. Brooks takes some of his friends, plus a mysterious woman (Amanda Pays) that claims to be a big fan of his mother's work, to mom's house. There they fall victim to a monster that his mom accidently created and that Rod Steiger is trying to capture for research. Scary film with an intense opening sequence and a good cast, especially Steiger and Pays. It also features some good nasty gross out special effects, especially the watermelon scene and the finale. A very underrated horror film.

    Rated R; Graphic Violence and Profanity.

    cheesy as hell but rather good effects

    The era of the VHS spawned a lot of flicks that are still not released on DVD or Blu Ray. Synapse announced this one years ago and up to this writing it is still not available on that format. So if you want it, it's still a VHS hunt, go figure that!

    Is it worth a hunt? Well, it's made just before the end of the horror era. It doesn't show luckily but it's cheesy as hell. But the effects are on-camera and done with the classic latex as seen in the classics so be happy that those are used and not some stupid CGI from that era.

    Low budget as hell is shown if you look sharp, a few times the microphone is seen in shots. But if you like them cheesy and messy and with mediocre acting or even over acting try to find it. Be honest, no good storyline you only watch this for the effects.

    It has been a while i've seen a 4:3 format on VHS, a trip down memory lane.

      When Rod Steiger reluctantly took direction for a specific scene from young co-director, Stephen Carpenter, he pulled him aside and told Carpenter, "an actor is the only person whose mistakes are photographed." Carpenter went on to say in interviews that he never forgot this moment, and that it changed he and his co-director's (Jeffrey Obrow) approach to directing.

    • Versioni alternative
      The US version of the film is cut for an "R" rating. Cut out were a shot of the monster's tentacle going into a woman's nose, and also the monster opening its belly during its death.
