This 1992 Japanese film tells the story of a scientist who sets out to create the new "super Adam and Eve", humans who cannot be controlled by their emotions. Of course, the end result it not exactly what the good doctor expects.
comments from imdb:
This modern tale of an attempt to build a creature is one of the best "horror" films ever made, even if its not a horror film but something else entirely. Certainly its on my short list of all time great films.
This film was introduced to me by someone who told me "I have this film that probably one of the best films you'll ever see. It will move you and touch you and make you think, but if I told you what it is and told you how its done you will think its the stupidest thing on the face of it and you won't watch it." Intrigued I asked what did he mean, and he said, "Well its a Frankenstein story, with a very goofy sort of edge, but which uses it to its advantage." My ears perked up, and I being a trusting soul took the tape and watched it. I was blown away.
The plot concerns a mad scientist attempting to make a new Adam and Eve in the wake of a suicidal plague that is ravaging the world. Locked up in his lab his experiments go differently then either he or we expect. Some of it is silly (The bolts in the neck, the wrestling moves...), all of it is touching and thought provoking.
I can not recommend this movie enough. If you are willing to take the film on its terms and allow it to tell its story then I urge you to seek this film out and see it. This is an undiscovered gem that will stay with you forever.
15 out of 10 and then some. 10/10
Also known as "The Last Frankenstein", this is an extraordinary, impeccably produced horror film. Director Takeshi Kawamura uses Mary Shelley's novel as a mere launching pad for an exploration of subjects as diverse and fascinating as the nature of love, desire, suicide, mass hypnosis, sex, alienation and jealousy.
And though the film is dense with subtext, it is also stunningly photographed and rich in atmosphere and detail. The performances are all amazing and Kawamura's sensitive handling of the strange, delicate relationships between the characters results in an emotionally charged, angst-ridden tragedy.
The scenes of the confused, troubled monster hurtling through a fog-shrouded forest at night are memorable and striking, as is a brilliant home movie-style montage of the film's more curious characters enjoying a precious afternoon at the beach. Kawamura creates resonating visual poetry of horror and sadness barely sighted since Todd Browning's classic "Freaks".
Intelligent, emotional, tragic and real, this is an absolute gem. 9/10
改编自印第安食人魔温迪戈传说！R级怪兽恐怖片《鹿角》片段，《水形物语》《环太平洋》吉尔莫·德尔·托罗监制， 讲述俄勒冈州一个小镇的老师和他的哥哥——当地警官，对一个神秘内向的学生产生了兴趣，当她意识到这个男孩藏有一个致命秘密、将是他们小镇存活的关键的时候，一切为时已晚。特效比异形还恶心🤢，克苏鲁神话有点反胃🤢……
故事中规中矩3分
都是些不怕死的货，明知道有问题，还特么去送人头。还有一群弱智的警察。
超自然套路片。阴郁破败孤寂的氛围营造还是很不错。
很奇怪，确实很烂，但是又有一种让人忍不住看完的“魅力”。或许缩减到100分钟以内比较合适，现在抻太长了，很多地方衔接的其实挺生硬的，就只能各种尬舞尬演。
女校长真胆大,看到门后的情况 了还敢上,赶快报警啊
恐怖氛围营造的还行 剧情太垮了 看的打瞌睡
结局草率，女主光环照着那就得所向披靡，就这么简单
怪物这造型真有血源的味道
剧情都是套路，没有任何起伏意外，过分单一，就是很平庸的一部惊悚片。
雷声大雨点小，前面部分还挺不错的，悬疑感也很强，惊悚度也还够，但是后半段真的是有点拉垮了啊，那么厉害的变异鹿怪却被女主几下就轻易干掉了，连还手都没怎么还，这也太不合理了吧！要是后面部分再更长更饱满更丰富更精彩一些就好了。另外，不知女主的那个小时候的经历身世对于这个电影有什么意义，对于推动剧情发展有什么影响，就真的有点可有可无的；除开这两个败笔，这部电影还是可圈可点的。（PS：这部电影真的很适合在一个阴雨绵绵的冬天窝在家里观看）
虽然剧情上基本没有任何新意，但本片的最大亮点在于，人遭受攻击时的真实感，之前很少见，可谓精彩。
浪费了这么好的设定，匆匆讲完了一个没讲完的故事……
在豆瓣要本着三星恐怖片要多加一星的原则。。
女主又负能量又圣母，小学生在家养怪物养的挺好，非得掺合一下，整死一堆人之后厉害了，把哥哥也整成怪物这回开心了，剧情空洞怪物敷衍，宣传了一年就这？
#22#01不得不感叹技术的进步，如此小制作的片子特效出色，影片质感也一流，把这美国边陲小镇拍的景色优美孤寂。小演员颜值演技都还不错…电影就不聊了，一贯地美式没脑子送死的恐怖片，随便看看风景不错。女主最后化身杰洛特，还亲手割了战利品
什么都想说，搞到又臭又长。
最后不要吃饭的时候看，因为真的有点恶心。
女主既是负责的班主任也是女武神，小男主恨惹人怜
太墨迹了，本来题材还不错，但是没用的剧情也太多了……
