The Surgeon (1995) is one of those films that treads the line between horror and sci-fi rather well. Dr. Julian Mater is a fascinating character—revoked license, morally ambiguous experiments, and a chilling return to the very hospital that condemned him. The atmosphere is heavy, suffused with tension as we watch his descent into madness, and the pacing keeps you on edge, revealing more about his twisted motivations as it unfolds. Practical effects hold up decently for the time, adding an unsettling depth to his grisly surgical procedures. Performances are solid, especially from the lead, who embraces the role with a creepy intensity. There's a certain rawness to its storytelling that makes it distinct among other genre films from the '90s.
