It didn't feel like it belonged in the same DECADE. It was as if it had been lifted from some tacky-ass 1960s Hammer knock-off...

The last 30 minutes made me feel really uncomfortable. I do not think it helped that the actress who was 23 at the time of filming looked much younger. Like I mentioned there is a real quality chiller in there lost by an uncomfortable final act.

Yeah. I can remember squirming in my seat during most of the film. Not a movie that I've wanted to see more than once. The eels alone were enough to keep me away, The daughter/wife cloning business . . . even more. (After 3 years and only one viewing, I'm not sure that I got the last part right. :scratch )

I was lost about the daughter as well. Was she a clone? or over a hundred years old kept young by the 'Vitamins' .
