Cadhorn The obvious similarities: sound effects borrowed from blade runner. The advertisements for the off-world colonies playing in the background.The subtle: the brother and sister falling in love before realizing they're related. Yet, somehow, i don't think they are related (father was a scientist for DNA21... perhaps doing some experiments with his own offspring), but they did grow up together... it's complicated. Definitely not as simple as: they're brother and sister, it's incest. Anyway, that reminds me of blade runner because, in the directors cut of BR you might get the idea that Harrison Ford's character (Deckard) is a replicant like Rachel, and probably of the same generation (nexus 6), thus sharing a lot of the same genetic material, practically brother and sister.Anyway, forget all about Blade Runner the movie, think more along the lines of the style of author Philip K. Dick. This is a thought-provoking movie. Shocking, funny, silly, scary... sometimes predictable and/or badly acted, but never dull.It'll be interesting to see what this director does in the future.
mindritefilms I loved this film. It was stunning, shocking and graceful in its visual garden of DV special effects. Not only did it keep my attention but it drove me to think out side of the box when thinking of a future genetic power world. The acting was strong and powerful and Coyula took obvious risk in many of scenes. It had a Clock Work Orange feel but was mixed with Star Wars type visuals. I had a chance to view the film at the 2004 MicroCinema Festival and it was by far the best thing on the screen during the 4 day event. Miguel Coyula is a film maker of the future and one should keep a close eye on and I expect great work from him in the future.
Hakan Elverdi I would like to mention two things about this movie: 1) Although it had a very very low budget (almost none, it is said!), the director managed to create a unique atmosphere and a nice tension that keeps you in it until the end. Congratulations on this issue.2) You feel like cheated at the end of the movie. The themes that fly around the whole movie (future life, acid rains, DNA studies, even cockroaches!) and also the thrills that keep you interested (dream-like sequences, psychological aspects built at the beginning, etc.) all fall loose! All you are left with is an incest story told in a stylish way. I wonder why did the director choose the "future theme" for its movie, since none of its features fit into the movie or enrich it. Everything could have been set in today or even the past.Good effort and talent, but lots of problems with the story and cinematography.
curryj1 This movie was complete, utter trash. I can't believe people would pay money for this. Why bother setting it in the future? Why bother with the mutants, or the acid rain, considering it is about INCEST. That is so pointless. The movie was disgusting and glorified incest between a couple of sickos. What about that ketchup scene? That was disgusting. The whole shock value thing is tiresome. YAWN!also, terrible acting and the "special effects" just got in the way of the storyline, which was not very thought out either. The end of the film was very weak, in the sense that they thought it would be easiest just to get rid of characters quickly, than have them stick around for a confrontation.I would have to give this movie a -100 out of 10.
