Subject Two (2006)

High atop the Rocky Mountains, a visionary scientist, Dr. Vick, along with his unwitting medical student assistant, Adam Schmidt, engage in controversial and gruesome research on death… and resurrection. A modern take on the classic Frankenstein tale of horror, Subject Two will raise the hair on the back of your neck, and leave you with a lasting impression of life and mortality.

A solid and entertaining film . . .

Surprisingly, a pretty good flick. Low budget, but filmed very well - and the story line is pretty creative! Definately worth a watch. September 13, 2008

Not your average horror film!

I rented Subject Two on Amazon Unbox, based primarily on the user reviews, and I was only slightly disappointed. The subtle homosexual overtones of the film were not brazen enough to be distracting from the other side of the story, the latter of which give pause to considering life and our experiences within. All in all, it was a worthwhile film with good production values, strong acting, and an intriguing plot that, I can confidently state, will not leave you asking how you fell for yet another zombie movie, as this film is not really in that category.

Only OK

After reading some of the favorable reviews for this movie, I thought I would give it a shot. Although the movie is supposed to be a thriller, I feel like it never really took off. There were moments that made you anxious, but not what I was expecting. The scenery in the movie is beautiful and the acting was definitely spot on.

However, overall I found myself waiting to get sucked into the plot up to the end, but being disappointed. The action in the movie is slow paced, so if you are looking for an edge of your seat thriller, this is not the movie for you. July 13, 2008

When you can't die...

An update on Dr. Frankenstein's monster with a living twist at the end:
the subjects are 'voluntary'. And death is in the end defeated
by technology. The question becomes what price immorality?
If you make the body completely self repairing and you can
and do, die over and over again, what do you do if you want to die?
Subject number two gets experimented on until he can no longer take it.
Murder and death and resurrection become a way of life.
The acting is pretty good, the sets are minimal ( a remote mountain
cabin)and the plot keeps you interested. March 31, 2008

A journey into the mind of a dionysian monster.

"Subject two" has been the most underated thriller inspired by the original Frankenstein tale. For the first time, it is not the horrible resurrection of what was once dead that confronts us, but his inner world of ecstasy and torment brought on by an experimental exilir. And even though a shocking twist culminates this painful story, it was the psychic journey and ultimate resignation to his fate that leaves one shellshocked
as they watch the victim transform. For the first time, our Frankenstein doctor uses terms to describe neuronal processes responsible for the victims mood swings that are based in neuroscience,not only educating us but allowing, momentarily, for the viewer to be overwhelmed by a world he cannot see. The scenery is spectaclar as well, its vastness and arresting
state seem to reflect the everlasting reality the victim must accept.
I found myself thinking about this movie long after it was over. A great film, misunderstood by many, and horribly beautiful. September 12, 2007
