This 1992 Japanese film tells the story of a scientist who sets out to create the new "super Adam and Eve", humans who cannot be controlled by their emotions. Of course, the end result it not exactly what the good doctor expects.
comments from imdb:
This modern tale of an attempt to build a creature is one of the best "horror" films ever made, even if its not a horror film but something else entirely. Certainly its on my short list of all time great films.
This film was introduced to me by someone who told me "I have this film that probably one of the best films you'll ever see. It will move you and touch you and make you think, but if I told you what it is and told you how its done you will think its the stupidest thing on the face of it and you won't watch it." Intrigued I asked what did he mean, and he said, "Well its a Frankenstein story, with a very goofy sort of edge, but which uses it to its advantage." My ears perked up, and I being a trusting soul took the tape and watched it. I was blown away.
The plot concerns a mad scientist attempting to make a new Adam and Eve in the wake of a suicidal plague that is ravaging the world. Locked up in his lab his experiments go differently then either he or we expect. Some of it is silly (The bolts in the neck, the wrestling moves...), all of it is touching and thought provoking.
I can not recommend this movie enough. If you are willing to take the film on its terms and allow it to tell its story then I urge you to seek this film out and see it. This is an undiscovered gem that will stay with you forever.
15 out of 10 and then some. 10/10
Also known as "The Last Frankenstein", this is an extraordinary, impeccably produced horror film. Director Takeshi Kawamura uses Mary Shelley's novel as a mere launching pad for an exploration of subjects as diverse and fascinating as the nature of love, desire, suicide, mass hypnosis, sex, alienation and jealousy.
And though the film is dense with subtext, it is also stunningly photographed and rich in atmosphere and detail. The performances are all amazing and Kawamura's sensitive handling of the strange, delicate relationships between the characters results in an emotionally charged, angst-ridden tragedy.
The scenes of the confused, troubled monster hurtling through a fog-shrouded forest at night are memorable and striking, as is a brilliant home movie-style montage of the film's more curious characters enjoying a precious afternoon at the beach. Kawamura creates resonating visual poetry of horror and sadness barely sighted since Todd Browning's classic "Freaks".
Intelligent, emotional, tragic and real, this is an absolute gem. 9/10
拔高人类过度开采造成灾难的主题，可完成度相当差。
影片应该属于是环保灾难片？影片最后的一段话是对整部影片的一个完美升华。我们一直以为自己是一个石油国家，到头来我们才发现，自己其实是个海洋国家。在大自然面前，在不可抗力面前，人类的抗争与挣扎终究是徒劳的。全片没有太大的问题，戏剧矛盾与冲突不明显，可能是最大的问题。

Family means no one gets left behind. 多一星給到我愛的 “phoebe”
有些地方衔接稍微有点硬。不如深水地平线了。整个国家石油工业就这样炸掉了……
哎，救了情郎，牺牲了单身狗同事。不过整体来说，女主还是够顽强够机制，美女救男友的故事。
女主挑得挺好 有柔情 坚毅也兼收并蓄. 剧本方面 主线清晰 剧情也偏直线 不曲折不太绕 不太讲究套路 人物也少 以至于成片的篇幅不大 体量也偏小 但反过来说 反倒在一众灾难片里 也显得清新脱俗. 比如上头的明智和果断 比如不引入神怪元素 比如大家都智商在线. 要是能再多些人物刻画就好了
作为灾难片，特效镜头确实很少，但剧情还行。开头和结尾的解说的话，表明了要爱护环境，保护地球的主题。我愿意抬一下，4星7.1分！
纯纯无语住了，这个男主为女主做过什么吗，做成什么了吗？好一个loser，甚至只是在有选择的时候挑了一个鼓励他不嫌弃他的“好女人”罢了，女主图他什么，做他的备胎还幸福上了？
亲情和官僚主义形成了强烈反差。
不是男主没帮上忙 而是女勾男确实容易很多…
搭档的存在就是为了最后那一拉吗，史蒂安是专业的，应该为这一事故负责。
当人类为了获取能源，在地球上打井，像“瑞士奶酪上的洞”一样时，灾难就像报应，只有技能满格的一家人才能逃生～姐姐会开直升机，弟弟男主能操控得了各种设备，女友更是绝对有勇有谋有体能还有情商～能让平日懦弱的男同事在危机时刻英勇献身。最后的台词是“我们以为自己是石油国家，其实我们是海洋国家”……然后呢？只反思到这层次，换个国家到别的地方钻孔去吗！
剧情平铺直叙，表演朴实无华，尤其是没有为了增加冲突，编造一些无脑人士出来，从上到下智商都在线，比很多灾难片硬要弄些反派要好多了。剧中出现战斗机的是f35？太帅了
真心看不下去，主角光环无敌，美式的英雄主义沙比，根本在现实生活中就是扯淡，纯粹各种圣母婊的意淫剧

三观不错。恋爱中有人沉溺于肉体的欢愉，有人关注情感的交融，无论如何都应该忠诚于自己当下的情感。不合适的时候别委屈自己，因为那伤害也包括对方。
I love Pete Davidson hahahaha and that middle school kiddo saying “now you’re my girlfriend” lmao
简单得十分真实的灾难片，好像所有的事都是女主一个人在做。
作为一个海上平台工作者，只能说电影后半段都不合情理
