Subject Two Review

Doctor Vick highers an assistant by the name of Adam Schmidt to test his resurrection formula. Little did Adam know that he would end up being the test subject.

H.P. Lovecraft is calling he wants his story back. I have to start out with saying “Subject Two” screams “Re-Animator” influence. It’s basically “Re-Animator” with more humanistic characters, and none of the style and humor. On top of this it also feels like a friendlier version of “Frankenstein’s Monster”, if the monster was kinda help-full and actually cared about Frankenstein himself. I felt while watching the film that it seemed like there were points that is was unnecessary for Dr. Vick to kill his assistant again, and again because of the fact that he seemed so willing to be help-full anyway.  In the end I did enjoy the film enough to be able to watch it all of the way through.

With the techniqual aspics of the film, you can tell it was done at more of an amature level. One reason being continueity errors like in the scene where Adam goes to kill the random hunter that shot him, the gun in his hand switched from right to left and back. Another involves the fact that there should be a balance to how a scene is cut, like if a person is talking and the shot shows his/her head on one side, when we cut to the other person they are talking to, the other person should be on the other side of the screen.

Well over all I did enjoy the film, and it did have a little charm to it, it may have been because it took from “Re-Animator”, and “Frankenstein’s Monster”, both being great classics. I give “Subject Two” a 5.5 out of 10.
