Adam
is an average Medical student, except he experiences massive headaches
and claims to be “allergic to people”. A doctor, who conveniently,
lives up in some marooned hills in the harsh snow, notices Adam’s
intelligence on his medical blog and also his “trust in science matched
only by a distrust for the community that practices it”.
So
Adam, being unusually trusting, sets off to join the doctor on some
grand plan. Little does Adam know it involves the young student being
killed over and over and over again. The Doctor, Dr. Vick (played by
Dean Stapleton, the poor man’s Jack Nicholson) has invented a sort of
miracle serum, which can, quite literally, bring people back from the
dead.
There is an unexpected but easy twist in the end and the film is over. In fact, Subject Two
was over before it began; of anything it felt more like a play. There
was a few choice scenes, and some excellent cinematography, but all in
all the plot was stringy and didn’t seem to wrap up to any kind of
conclusion.
Things happen, and they don’t say why!
Sometimes
this is feasible if your clues and plot points steer the audience in
the right direction but this film had more of a “Yeah, they’ll probably
understand it” attitude. This is the filmmaker’s prime error. I
suppose, once again, this film could’ve been brilliant in the right
hands, stretched out and added coherent meaning, perhaps a re-casting
here and there.
Pick up the pieces and start again.
EXTRAS
A
few extras: deleted scenes, behind the scenes stuff and a commentary -
but nothing that ever really explains what the hell went wrong!
In essence - a waste of the luxury of Extras.
Conclusion:
Movie 60% Extras: 50%
