The greatest movie ever made..!

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Attempting to find their missing father, sisters tracking him down to the genetics lab he works out find that the company's experiments with alien DNA have inadvertently released a mutant monster in the facility forcing them to fight it off to get out alive.This one turned out to be quite the intriguing creature feature. Among the film's positives here is the film's rather well-handled action scenes that occur throughout here which are incredibly fun and manage to generate some great moments here. The opening starts this off nicely with the discovery of the bloodied staff and the resulting attack on the security guard, and the first half does contain some rather nice moments in the hospital where his working with the mutations as well as the growing development of the transformation that's taking place in the infection room where they attempt to study him. That manages to keep this one going along nicely into the final half where it mainly deals with the creatures hunting them down within the corporations hallways and corridors which is all sorts of cheesy creature-feature goodness as the creature begins attacking them throughout here. The first encounters, where they come across the creature out in the hallways by sheer accident. are rather fun while the brawl in the exploratory lab makes for a solid action scene and sets up the fantastic finale in the basement where the creature gets a big fight in the lab where it features some rather impressive ideas and tactics used to combat the creature which ends this on a high-note. As well, the fact that the creature effects look decent and give this some nice moments in the kills throughout here. Still, one of the film's main problems here is in the completely clichéd and useless notion of the sleazy executives trying to keep the whole idea of their plans under wraps despite the ethical and logical rationale of their motives. The manner of him trying to keep the identity of the participant and the true nature of the experiments from getting out makes for quite an overdone set-up that comes off as rather illogical in the face of what's happening around them and really makes this one seem all the more familiar. The manner of going about hiding the involvement is quite lame and being yet another reappearance of that motif makes for quite a useless plot-thread. Likewise, the fact that the main part of the first half is played out like a flashback to the events rather than simply playing it straight which really makes for quite the bland beginning retelling events long before they actually occurred and then getting to the part that actually happened. This is wasted time that could've been used from the very beginning to get into the film proper by staying in the current time-line rather than recapping it rather lamely. While some might not be able to take the low-budget special effects work, but otherwise there's not a whole lot else wrong here.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and violence-against- animals.

A p*ssed-off alien escapes from a lab. An evil CEO tries to keep things hush-hush by hiring two evil hit men. A group of not-so-evil scientists and civilians are trapped in the building with the alien, thus becoming it's dinner. That might not sound like much of a plot, but don't let that jade you: This is a gory, effects-packed ride, and a heck of a fun one at that. Acting isn't very good and the plot has holes, but this is a fun one anyways. Some kick-@ss gore, and the creature effects are great. None of this crappy CG stuff that looks like Atari graphics like we see today, we're talking stop-motion and prosthetics like in Alien and The Thing. REAL special effects. This is a fun flick, a good old-fashioned monster movie that doesn't shy away from the good stuff like the crap Resident Evil movies or the new Star Wars films. Fans of old-school horror will be pleased by what this baby has to offer! 3 stars out of 4 (8/10).

After a misshalf in a laboratory, a engineer is bitten by a mutant amphibian creature and slowly mutates into a giant lizard monster and proceeds to devour fellow lab workers in a high-tech laboratory facility. Despite hammy acting, and some inane dialogue and logic laps, "Metamorphosis: The Alien Facotr" comes across as a solid, adequate thriller sporting some solid scares and tention with some unique special effects.The production values and sets are elaborate and convincing, not the usual water-dripping and darkly-light alien-rip-off sets we see in these types of b-rate films. In addition to nice production values, the Takakjian director builds tention and some solid scares time to time. This film also breaks many rules of b-movies. Characters you expect to live die gory deaths, vice versa, and the ending ain't what you'd expect.But quite possible the best element in this film are the special effects. The creatures look unique, and the amount of detail put into the monsters are astounding--The creatures can blink, they can breathe realisticly, muscles contract when they move, etc. and the F/X alone make this film worth watching. The special effects are just amazing, plain and simple.

I just watched this movie, and despite (or perhaps because of) my low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised. While there's certainly nothing brilliant here in terms of plot or acting, a lot of work and creativity went into the special effects. Not every effect works, but the ones that came out right are quite nice-looking. Fans of stop-motion animation should definitely check this out; early stop-motion effects in the film are pretty crude, but as the film progresses, the animation keeps getting better and better. At the end... well, just see for yourself.
