A genetic researcher faces a tight deadline because his funding will be taken away if he does not report the details of his research. In light of this, he injects himself with a chemical that is supposed to stop the aging process. His experiment is successful, but turns him into a monster.
Not to be confused with Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor (1990), this film reminded me of Altered States (1980). The plot and characters kept my attention, but the production was poor quality and the video was really dark. The audio was actually good, with the only annoying section being a telephone ring that the scientist would not answer and was driving him crazy. This was a good use of a repetitive and annoying sound, which is extremely rare in films. Even though the date of the film's release was 1990, the style was stuck in the '80s. It is difficult to discern whether this was a good or bad style choice. There was a classic '80s blue-lighted sex scene at about 30 minutes in, but no female anatomy points were earned. The music for this scene seemed to be a strange choice with vintage synthesizers and not enough groovy bass. If you liked Altered States, you may want to watch this so you can appreciate that film more. I rate it adequate.
