The dim lights flickering in Miskatonic University’s morgue are a harbinger of an eerie presence lurking in the medical school’s hallways. This film, brought to life by Stuart Gordon, masterfully blends science fiction with dark humor in a laboratory setting. As a young medical student tests his dangerous serum—which pushes the boundaries of death—on fresh corpses, he drags everyone in the room into an inescapable descent into madness. A chain of absurd events, accompanied by the cold clang of surgical instruments, is on the verge of spiraling out of control. As secrets hidden in dark rooms come to light, these mad experiments—which defy the laws of nature—are poised to break free from the hospital’s walls.
