5/5 Remarkable Achievement

This was a beautiful piece of work considering how it was made. I hope to see more from the Director/Writer. The images are haunting as is the story. Something rarely seen in this genre.

5/5 Kill Me Again, One Last Time...
  by Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein (under the rubble)
A failing med student named Adam (Christian Oliver) joins a Dr. (Dean Stapleton) in his experiments w/ re-animating the dead. Alas, poor Adam should have stayed in med school! SUBJECT TWO takes elements of the FRANKENSTEIN story, and gives them a modern jolt of bloody insanity. It's pretty much a two-man show, w/ Oliver and Stapleton at a remote, mountain lodge. Still, the story is intriguing (and horrific) enough to make things move right along. There's more to S2 than simply raising the dead, as the ethics of such a venture are disected and analyzed. This relatively obscure movie deserves a chance. Check it out...

3/5 Still not entirely sure if I liked it or not, but it's interesting.

Subject Two (Philip Chidel, 2006)

Odd little thriller packed with black humor and competent acting that still somehow manages to not quite gel. There's a great deal of potential here (and I have a suspicion that had it been played more as a comedy, it might have come off a lot better), but it falls a bit short of the mark.

The movie starts with headstrong medical student and blogger Adam (Speed Racer's Christian Oliver), on the verge of getting thrown out of school, responding to an email from a doctor who follows his blog and wants him to come out and be an assistant in his remote hideaway. Can you tell this is not going to end well? Once he gets there, he finds that Vick (Wildflower's Dean Stapleton), the doctor in question, is working on an offshoot of cryogenics. Problem is, what he needs is a test subject, and after Adam says he wants to help, Vick comes up behind Adam and slashes his throat. Vick then injects him with a serum designed to revive him, and... Adam wakes up. Not only that, but the migraines he's been suffering all his life have disappeared. Adam eagerly offers to help Vick perfect the serum. This involves Adam dying again and again as Vick tweaks the formula.

The majority of the film is a two-person joint, which can be either brilliant or awful, depending on how it's handled. This one is much closer to brilliant, but not quite. It's quite well-paced, and the dialogue is good enough to keep the movie from becoming boring. But it seemed to me while I was watching that there was something missing. I'm not entirely sure what, but the tipoff was that the setup for the twist at the end seemed pretty obvious. I wasn't exactly sure my guess was right (it was), but I knew that something was coming. It's almost as if the script were missing a layer somehow. Which doesn't make it bad, don't get me wrong, just...unfinished.

Interesting. Flawed, but worth checking out. ***



1/5 Not your normal Independant film.

Horrible. Highschool level film class material. Come to think of it in film class there were some kids who did better than this. I am a professional airbrush makeup artist and have done special effect makeup. I think these guys could've have done way better and that this should have been a free rental.Its not worth $2.99

3/5 A solid and entertaining film . . .

Surprisingly, a pretty good flick. Low budget, but filmed very well - and the story line is pretty creative! Definately worth a watch.
