Altered Species

About This Movie

Altered Species is a curious blend of horror and sci-fi that dives into the chaotic consequences of scientific hubris. The film presents a tense atmosphere with its claustrophobic lab setting, where this scientist's meddling with nature leads to some outrageous results. The pacing picks up as the rat's transformation escalates, pushing the boundaries of disbelief, but it's fascinating to see how the filmmakers crafted the practical effects for the monstrous creature. While the performances might not win any awards, they suit the film's offbeat tone. It's the kind of movie that sticks with you not for its brilliance, but for its sheer audacity and the unsettling vibe that lingers long after the credits roll.
