I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Expected more

Better Late Then Never

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Director: ROBERT S. FIVESON. Screenplay: Myrl A. Schriebman, Robert S. Fiveson. Based on a screenplay by Ron Smith, Bob Sullivan. Story: Bob Sullivan. Photographed in Eastman Color by Max Beaufort. Film editor: Robert Gordon. Art director: Steve Nelson. Costumes: Dorinda Rice Wood. Music: Hod David Schudson. Producers: Myrl A. Schriebman, Robert S. Fiveson. Executive producer: Myrl A. Schriebman. A Group 1 production. Copyright 1979 by Group 1 Productions. Never theatrically released or broadcast in either the U.K. or Australia. 90 minutes. (Available on a Rhino DVD).Alternative title: PARTS: THE CLONUS HORROR. COMMENT: Extremely well-made sci-fi, a credit to all concerned, particularly Fiveson for his always skilfully confident and often imaginative direction and Schriebman for remarkably glossy production values which belie the film's astonishingly small $350,000 budget. Their script is not only intriguing and suspenseful, but it has the solid ring of reality – which makes the events even more disturbing. Most effective use is made of real locations, both natural and man- made, the latter including some wonderfully bizarre, and really spooky modern buildings.Acting from the largest parts to the smallest is uniformly exciting. The young stars are not over-awed by the presence of veterans like Graves and Wynn. If anything the youngsters like Donnelly and Breen seem more natural. Dick Sargent is properly menacing as the heavy.Technical credits are thoroughly professional. Great care has been taken both with the broadest canvas of the picture and the minutest details. In short, an "independent" gem. OTHER VIEWS: A thoughtful, well-constructed script with interesting characters brought vividly to life by an excellent combination of new and seasoned players. Fiveson's pacy direction keeps the excitement pounding. Photography and sets likewise make a strong impression. — JHR writing as George Addison.

Decent idea. Worst camera/cinematography, crappy acting/dialogue/characters, poor TV quality This must be the worst camera/cinematography. Shaky crappy camera zooms. The worst.The story is OK but very slow. Poor TV quality, with crappy acting and dialogue. Even with a low budge, they just needed to spend more time on the screenplay.Rating a D, or a 2 just for the idea.Decent idea.

This is one great little genre movie from the '70's, that features a great and original concept, though it might sound familiar to those who have seen Michael Bay's "The Island".The movie is set at an enclosed camp were people's clones live and train themselves to be in perfect condition, while they are being oblivious to the fact that they are actually clones, who only exist in case the person they are a clone of need a new organ. Sounds familiar already? Well it should, since this movie almost entirely features the same premise as the 2005 movie "The Island". It even resulted in a law suit, which eventually got settled.So you could say "The Clonus Horror" was a movie that was far ahead of its time. And its entire concept does play out well and originally. It's one of those typical '70's science-fiction movies that play on people's paranoia. It sets things up nicely and the movie is taking some good thriller approaches to its story as well.Only thing that really works against the movie is its low budget. It makes the movie at times come across as being a bit clumsily, or even laughable. Also the acting isn't always of the highest order, though I liked some of its supporting cast.It's low budget also doesn't make this the most spectacular genre film but there is plenty of other stuff to compensate for this. It's story alone is good enough to carry the entire movie through and makes this sort of a must-see as well for the lovers of '70's science-fiction.7/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

I can't see any reference anywhere to 'Bug Jack Barron' - a seminal SF masterpiece by Norman Spinrad (easily his best book) that I expect is now pretty difficult to find [? I haven't seen much of Spinrad's work available recently as he seems to have gone out of favour - he never was very PC - possibly because of his cult pulp classic 'The Iron Dream' which has Hitler causing mayhem as the leader of a Hell's Angels chapter], but from which this plot appears to have been lifted.Anyone who likes the plot ideas (but doesn't rate the enactment in this adaptation) is strongly recommended to check out the book which has a whole lot more going for it, including a very early (published in 1972... the book is set in 1994) take on reality TV and the power of TV consumer campaigning. Pulp fiction isn't often a very good predictor of future realities, but there is an extraordinary amount of detail in this book that is scarily close to where the media is leading us...
