Michael Ledo A company called Gentek is doing experiments on people. 4 people sign up for the experiment. They are:1) William Hunter (Brandon Auret) is an ex-policeman. We later find out he has alcohol and cigarette addictions. He provides for inner conflict. 2) Jake Butler (Ryan Macquet) has brain cancer. 3) Samantha Foxx (Ingeborg Riedmaier) is a waitress with asthma. 4) Dominic Black (Michael Thompson) is the brains in the group. He is in a wheel chair.The four are administered a drug and wake up somewhat free from their disorders. They are in a multilevel abandoned hospital type building with no knowledge as to what is going on. They are B-15 test subjects.The subplot consists of a B-14 test subject and an intruder running around with armed security attempting to grab them. It appears the one test subject has razor sharp teeth, a killer instinct, and some type of regenerative property.Both you and the B-15 test subjects try to figure out what is going on from the clues. To be honest, I was fooled as I went down the direction they lead me, ignoring other factors which I wrote off.The film was interesting, but the set was dull. Even though it was a horror/action/mystery/thriller I was bored during some of the middle action. The characters were a bit lame, but later I found out that was by design. Not a bad rental. More cerebral than some horror films.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

Mikelikesnotlikes I did a small amount of research into this film before watching to make sure I wasn't wasting my time and found a lot of positive comments about it. I do understand it was made on a tight budget. At first I was engaged and interested but quickly began to lose interest. Firstly, the time stamp on the CCTV footage was always the same. I found that extremely distracting and something that should have been picked up and corrected.Then there was the mistreatment of one of the 'participants' near the start. Something that could skew their results of the experiment. The scientist in me was dubious that the company would go to that much expense and then employ such incompetent security.There was no explanation of why some of the previous 'participants' were still roaming around the test area in an unstable and dangerous state. There were perfect opportunities to do so using the voice over CCTV footage. I could think of several ways to cover this.The pacing slowed way the hell down when it was supposed to be ramping up. They characters seemed to run around in a circle. There was no progression. They never tried to plan and act to move the plot along.There were a few other glaring inconsistencies that had nothing to do with budget - more to do with poor scripting. The less money you have the cleverer you need to be with the dialogue.Acting was pretty good, as was wardrobe and equipment (no plastic guns). The zombies were very believable and make-up was excellent.Give it a bash if you're bored. It gets a 'could have been better' from me.

David Roggenkamp A group of everyday members of society has been assembled for a medical experiment. Little do they now it is not under government control and is run by a freelance individual. Inside of a medical facility he monitors the results of subjects that undergo a transformation; these subjects do not know what is happening to them nor do they know why they are being kept against their will. What they do know is that their previous medical conditions, have suddenly disappeared. The movie throws in a few distractions to prevent you from guessing the final outcome; it has an ending much like Saw. It fits nicely, but it is something I wasn't expecting. The movie focuses on a few morals behind the experiment, but it also focuses on the human condition and what happens to people when stress pushes their psychology to the limits.The movie is a good little film, but full of gore and lots and lots of clichés. If you like that kind of thing, it should wet your palette nicely.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/?p=6163).

J. Davis This is by far one of the best films I've seen lately, not just in horror, but in also in the sub-genre of zombie mutation/insane experimentation. It's a film where the viewer doesn't quite need much more info than given in that four people respond to a newspaper ad for a medical experiment paying $250,000 for a five day stay in their private secure medical base. Two participants came looking for a cure & two came looking for a pay day. It's not long at all before the outright horror of it all boils to the surface and a nightmarish pace in set as these few participants fight to stay alive & out of the sight of some of the previous groups experimental failures, genetically mutated & filled with rage. Any issue or unrealistic thought that I may have had was all neatly wrapped up in a surprise ending that will no doubt leave any horror fan with a smile on their face. Also for a South African film with a mere $70k budget this film is produced very well, there wasn't any point or any scenes that suffered from budget restrictions. It's been a long while since I've seen a good horror/zombie film that I could actually give a good review to & actually recommend it as a rental choice to any horror fan and not for the lack of trying (30-40 forgettable films in the the last month alone). This one is a taker. 7/10
