EMBRYO(1976)
In the sets: 100 Greatest Cult Classics;
Mad Scientist Theater
Some pretty decent actors here: Rock Hudson(THE
Rock Husdon), Roddy McDowell(THE Roddy McDowell),
Diana Ladd(Alice, Chinatown) & Barbara Carrera
(Never Say Never Again)! This could also be
called how to raise a "monster" in less than a
month! After having "succefully" helped a
canine embryo grow to a full grown dog in a
very short time, a man then tries the same thing
on a human embryo with terrible results! Main
problem with this show is that it's just another
horror movie, and even though the actors do a
great job here, I don't do horror! C
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
i really enjoyed this movie.i thought the
acting was very good,and the storyline well
developed.i'm sure the movie was inspired
by past literary works and movies,but i
think it also inspired other movies and
novels.so,obviously it's not wholly
original,but it does have its own original
elements to it.it's a cautionary tale
for sure and it's just as relevant today,
probably more so .the only negative thing
i can say about it is that it can be a
bit slow,and the first half has an almost
clinical feel to it.by this i mean at
times it's a bit dry and almost too
scientific.overall,though i think it
was a well done movie.i give Embryo
a 7/10 - disdressed12
