The Frankenstein Syndrome

A group of scientists in a remote facility are doing illegal stem cell research. They come up with a serum that can reanimate dead tissue, and before you know it, they’re testing it on human subjects with disastrous results. Based on Mary Shelley’s novel, the basic outline of the story is familiar, but what director Sean Tretta and his cast do with it will still blow you away. The gore factor is pretty high, but it is the tension that crackles in just about every scene that will have you on the edge of your seat. Scott Anthony Leet’s performance as the security guard who becomes the ultimate creation will give you nightmares.
