    Errr.. no. Just no.

    What is this supposed to be, aside from a bunch of random shots of gore (with several repeats, I might add) and a meandering 'plot' that goes nowhere..?

    What do you get when you mix a sweaty weirdo 'professor', a trashy bimbo Dr, and a bunch of 35 year olds pretending to be medicine undergrads (None of whom could pass as having an IQ higher than their shoe size)..??

    An utterly disjointed mistake claiming to be a movie.

    There is so much wrong with this I don't even know where or how to begin.

    Suffice it to say, if you watch this thing to the end, you're likely a masochist.

    Acting so bad, it almost saves the film

    Within minutes of starting the film we are introduced to all the central actors. I'd like to say central characters, but that would be an exaggeration. The acting is so wooden in some cases, so stilted in others, so beneath the level of a decent High School play, that these are not characters but at best caricatures. Sometimes the delivery is funny, seeming to be a parody of the kind of character you often see in similar, but better films. But most of the time it just grates on you, and makes you regret starting the film. The rest of the film is so bad, from the massive plot holes resulting in the impossibility of suspension of disbelief, to the pointless scenes of blood and gore interspersed through the introductory portion, that if the acting had been a little funnier it might have actually been the saving grace of the film, moving it in to the so bad it's good category. However some of these actors show some potential, and so are just not bad enough for that. Nothing saves this film. Don't waste your time.
