Watch Metamorphosis For Free

This is How Movies Should Be Made

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Attempting to find their missing father, sisters tracking him down to the genetics lab he works out find that the company's experiments with alien DNA have inadvertently released a mutant monster in the facility forcing them to fight it off to get out alive.This one turned out to be quite the intriguing creature feature. Among the film's positives here is the film's rather well-handled action scenes that occur throughout here which are incredibly fun and manage to generate some great moments here. The opening starts this off nicely with the discovery of the bloodied staff and the resulting attack on the security guard, and the first half does contain some rather nice moments in the hospital where his working with the mutations as well as the growing development of the transformation that's taking place in the infection room where they attempt to study him. That manages to keep this one going along nicely into the final half where it mainly deals with the creatures hunting them down within the corporations hallways and corridors which is all sorts of cheesy creature-feature goodness as the creature begins attacking them throughout here. The first encounters, where they come across the creature out in the hallways by sheer accident. are rather fun while the brawl in the exploratory lab makes for a solid action scene and sets up the fantastic finale in the basement where the creature gets a big fight in the lab where it features some rather impressive ideas and tactics used to combat the creature which ends this on a high-note. As well, the fact that the creature effects look decent and give this some nice moments in the kills throughout here. Still, one of the film's main problems here is in the completely clichéd and useless notion of the sleazy executives trying to keep the whole idea of their plans under wraps despite the ethical and logical rationale of their motives. The manner of him trying to keep the identity of the participant and the true nature of the experiments from getting out makes for quite an overdone set-up that comes off as rather illogical in the face of what's happening around them and really makes this one seem all the more familiar. The manner of going about hiding the involvement is quite lame and being yet another reappearance of that motif makes for quite a useless plot-thread. Likewise, the fact that the main part of the first half is played out like a flashback to the events rather than simply playing it straight which really makes for quite the bland beginning retelling events long before they actually occurred and then getting to the part that actually happened. This is wasted time that could've been used from the very beginning to get into the film proper by staying in the current time-line rather than recapping it rather lamely. While some might not be able to take the low-budget special effects work, but otherwise there's not a whole lot else wrong here.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and violence-against- animals.

First off I'd like to congratulate everyone who has written a review of this movie for IMDb, way to go! Honestly this is a movie better suited to be on in the background, like if you want to vacuum the living room and you want to have the TV on while you do it, Metamorphosis is the perfect movie for you. Perhaps you are a heavy drinker and need the light of TV to drink by, may I recommend this movie? If you have this movie on VHS, did you know it can be used as a cruel bludgeon, or as a paperweight? This movie probably played a role in some drug-money laundering scheme, because there is no way some one would want this movie to happen for artistic reasons, yeah and clearly it didn't make any money in the box offices. Some sort of scam was played on somebody either the financiers of the film or the IRS, but in no way can this be considered a legitimate motion picture.

Oh my lord, I can't believe the rating system here only goes as low as 1 star. I was hoping to give this ridiculous pile of trash a heavy minus but I guess thats life. Where to start? Well, this was originally supposed to be a sequel to the 1983 low budget classic 'The deadly spawn' which for the meagre budget was an exceptional advertisement on how to make a horror movie with a few pennies. Deadly spawn had decent acing (for a bunch of nobodies) good direction a decent if slightly simple plot and a brilliantly put together monster, not to mention bucket loads of gore. This supposed 'sequel' is amazing, it has none of that. The acting is excruciatingly poor, (I've done better acting trying to bunk a day off of work and failed) the script is unbelievably bad to the point of ridiculam and the rubber 'hand puppet' monster and childlike stop motion effects provide more cringes at how poor they are than scares. There's some blob monster that honestly looks as if it is being pushed around on a stick, I mean, c'mon. I can't say I have ever seen a horror movie quite this bad and I consider myself a fairly tolerant person. Some films are so poor that they become laughably enjoyable or mildly entertaining and then there's this, which is just downright painful. The thing that makes it worse is that the film had a budget of near $3m almost ten times that of its predecessor. and yet despite being made 7 years on (when effects have supposed to have improved) 'The deadly spawn' makes this film look like a college exam entry. If you want to live a happy and fulfilling life, then avoid this at all costs, however, if you decide to watch it someday, please purchase a pack of razor blades to accompany the viewing. Trust me, you'll thank me for them.

Rented this one from the video library out of sheer curiosity. Like a cross between Cronenberg's "The Fly" and Ridley Scott's "Alien", the slimy special effects are better than average. The script and acting, on the other hand, are not, giving this a bit of a tele-movie feel.If you're a sci-fi/horror buff with an hour and a half or so to kill, give this film a go. Otherwise, catch the above-mentioned originals, who did it much better with a lot more intensity.
