kapelusznik18 ****SPOILERS*** Movie about these two not so bright collage students Greg & Rob, Travis Van Winkle & John Bregar, who decide to spend their spring brake as guinea pigs in this weird experiment-In them being paid $3,150.00 each-in being subjected to this drug RXZ19 that's to rejuvenate their bodies no matter how much damage is done to them. With the sexy Dr. Wilcox, Tricia Helfer, in charge the two feel that they can hit on her or some of her women patients to make things even more interesting for them. It soon turns out that the experiment is really being conducted by what seems like the CIA headed by the man in charge or in the dark suit Eric Roberts who planned to have all those involved including Dr. Wilcox killed to keep the results from being made public!What this experiment does to its victims is turn them into flesh eating zombies as well as have them become indestructible in that no matter what's does to them they come back to life with the bodies rejuvenating themselves minutes after their destroyed. Things got so out of hand that Dr. Wilcox calls for reinforcements from a nearby US Army base to stop the rejuvenated Zombies from breaking out of their confinement and killing and devouring anyone, man or animal, in the vicinity.****SPOILERS**** It's both Greg & Rob who finally make it to safety after the military lead by Eric Roberts-The man in the dark suit- wipe out and burned the flesh eating zombies and had the entire place roped off and quarantined from the public and media. But the bad news for the two boys is that in trying to escape to civilization their picked up hitch hiking by the chubby Aaron,Joe Pingue,one of the few who wasn't effected by this experiment who to their shock, by him locking the car doors, is now himself a flesh eating zombie and driving them back to where they escaped from, the secret laboratory, to be incinerated.
Seth_Rogue_One Starts out fairly decent, first 30 minutes is more of a comedy than anything else.The quickly changes after that though and turns into something more in the horror territory.And that's also where the movie starts falling apart.In some aspects it works, it did have a good set-up and a decent enough cast, plus the cinematography was pretty cool and decent atmosphere but it's just the incredibly contrived writing that gets in the way. I'd rather have no reasoning than what we are given and there so many logical loopholes in the characters motives and reactions that you can go hula-hooping with them.
nurpin I saw this under the name Bloodworx-- same movie but it actually has several other titles as well. The story was your typical drug trial gone wrong movie but it did have some potential -- too bad it didn't have different writers. The ending was very vague and disappointing. Luckily some of the bad dialogue was pretty funny! One of the best silly lines by Dr. Wilcox "Everything's fine. Just be sure not to ITCH it. And you'll be good as new." Hahaha. Itch it! She's killing me with her technical medical terms! That's dialogue from a toddler, that an actual doctor would correct-- "no, honey, it's try not to scratch it-- not, itch it." hahaha OMG priceless!
Coventry Two incredibly stereotypical college buddies (one carefree party-animal and one responsible party-pooper) seek a method to earn fast & easy cash and stumble upon an ad for pharmaceutical guinea pigs. After carefully verifying that nobody will put any tubes up their rectums (because, apparently, that's the only unacceptable condition), they sign up for a two weeks stay at a medical facility and agree with the terms that they cannot have any contact with the outside world and swallow whatever medication Dr. Wilcox and her team prescribes them. Several indicators prove that the testing of Ravenix' new drug isn't kosher, like the decaying state of the hospital facility and the lack of medical staff involved, but the new drug appears to show off positive results immediately. The recovery ratio in case of illnesses and the healing processes in case of physical wounds increase at phenomenal speed and, after a few days, it even occurs that cutting wounds heal instantly. But, like usually the issue with new medicines, the side effects and shortcomings are quite extreme. Most notable is the fact that the human lab rabbits become completely inadvertent to all kind of emotions. And, of course, what to do in case of urgent surgery when the body can't be incised? I watched "Bloodwork" at the annual Brussels Festival of Fantastic Films, where it got promoted as a state-of-the-art and innovative thriller. This isn't quite correct, unfortunately, as far too often the film comes across as derivative and mundane, but it's nonetheless a very entertaining thriller with a handful of original aspects and occasional flashes of sheer suspense. Particularly the unfolding of the drug's side effects is adequately demonstrated. We initially witness how the group indifferently reacts to a rotting animal's carcass in the cafeteria and you actually wonder why they're not repulsed. A little while later, there's even a couple having sex in a cockroach-infested room and remain unbothered. Regretfully however, after a fairly solid and plausible middle-section, "Bloodwork" rapidly descends into a bad spiral of dull clichés and routines. Obviously the project supervisor will stop at nothing to continue the experiments and naturally the tests are all part of a secret government scheme led by one political big shot. None other than Eric Roberts – civilized übervillain #1 – makes a less than 2 minute cameo appearance for this part and presumably also received the largest paycheck. But still, if you manage to switch off your brain functions and look passed all these hopelessly annoying defaults, you'll find a worthwhile thriller perfectly suitable for a lazy Saturday evening in a comfortable couch. As said, the film contains a few admirable ideas and highlight sequences, the motivated acting performances from the ensemble cast are much better than the routine script deserves and supportive actress Mircea Monroe demonstrates that she has beautiful breasts.
