Leofwine_draca RECREATOR has potential but turns into a general mish-mash of ideas with way too much of the "teenagers running in the woods" type scenes to recommend it. It's a dimly lit adventure in which a trio of teenagers visit a remote island and take shelter in a mysterious installation when a storm beckons. Pretty soon they find themselves at the mercy of their own clones, which are set to destroy them.Cloning has always been an intriguing idea in cinema but the idea here is workable at best. Indeed so little is made of the originality of the premise that any random monster or human villain could have been the antagonist. Too much of it feels like a teen horror flick while the thought-provoking sci-fi angle of the story is swept aside.It doesn't help that the production values have led to a dim and gloomy looking movie with non-existent special effects. The thinly-written characters are rather trying and despite the best efforts of the actors involved none of them are remotely likable, so you end up having no interest in what happens come the end. It's a pity.

joeywyss With plot holes big enough to drive a locomotive through , paper thin characters and a surprise ending you could see coming from the Space Station, this is a movie that wasted the acting talent and a relatively good idea. Nifong is the only one who delivers his twins with any identifiable difference or conviction, and what a waste of John De Lancie. This feels like a rough draft that got made instead of giving the script another thorough run thru. The best thing about the movie is the DVD menu screen. The sad part is that the young cast have enough experience to have pulled off a relatively solid script, and the movie had a great location, but something is just amiss here.

Claudio Carvalho Craig Carlson (Alexander Nifong), his girlfriend Tracy Bernstein (Stella Maeve) and their friend Derek Johnson (J. Mallory-McCree) row to the Brewster Island in a canoe to spend the weekend camping on the island. Tracy is not used to go camping and needs to defecate and she does not absorb the idea of going to the woods with a shovel to bury the poop. She sees a house nearby and she decides to ask to the owners to use the toilet. However there is nobody home and she finds the key of the front door and uses the toilet. During the night, there is a storm and the trio decides to spend the night in the house. However, early in the morning, the owners of the house return and they hide in the basement, where they find two corpses inside a plastic bag. However they are caught and forced to dig a hole to bury the bodies. Out of the blue, they are saved by three naked persons that are exactly like themselves. Soon they learn that they have been cloned and their duplicates are made of their dark side but more strong and intelligent. "CLONED: The Recreator Chronicles" could have been a good B-movie with an interesting story. However, there is a total lack of humor, despite the absurd situation that all the characters are cloned from their poops associated to an invention from a scientist of atom bomb and lightning from the storm. Anyway this movie is watchable and entertains. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "O Lado Negro" ("The Dark Side")

krisnyu-671-303436 This movie is so much fun! I didn't know quite what to expect going into the theater, but I really enjoyed myself. Recreator played on all my fears of the woods and camping...irrational fears, you may say, perhaps not!! I loved the setting...it all takes place on an isolated and wooded island (filmed in upstate NY). So creepy...and yet the house on this island is AMAZING! It's a gorgeous cabin, but more like a cabin mansion...the kind of place you think of when you hear the words "dream vacation home." I'd love to spend a weekend there relaxing, swimming, reading...though maybe not after seeing what happens on that island in the film...ha. I don't want to say too much, because it will give away half the fun. But I can say...I'm glad I'm not a twin. Buy a big tub of popcorn and go with a few friends!
