Needs a rewrite....


Okay, if you're too busy to watch the movie, I'm going to give you the script in a nutshell:

Mad Scientist: (Phone call to Adam, Naive Student) Read your email. It's directions on how to drop out of life and come visit me in the middle of nowhere. Tell nobody of where you're going, nor leave an explanation for why you'll be gone for an extended period of time.

Naive Student: Okay, but, I get these head aches..

Cameo Chick: Take aspirin.

Mad Scientist: Please hurry. I've killed one man already. You'll be number two.

Naive Student: Okay, but I get these head aches....

Mad Scientist: (Kills Naive Student. Records notes.) Subject is dead. WAY dead.

Naive Student: (Back to life.) Last thing I remember was you killing me.....

Mad Scientist: Yes. I'm glad you remember. Sometimes death causes memory lapses. Take it easy. You've been dead almost 24 hours.

Naive Student: My head ache was gone. Will you kill me again? Please?

Mad Scientist: Sure. We'll do it a couple of times a week. In between, we'll have contrived moral discussions that border on verbal tapioca.

Naive Student: I'm game! Kill away!

Mad Scientist: Okay!

Naive Student: (Dies, comes back to life and has some kind of seizure.)

Mad Scientist: You're having a reaction to the serum!

Naive Student: Oh wow. Hope it doesn't KILL me!

Mad Scientist: No, but THIS will! (Sneaks up and stabs him in the back.)

Naive Student: AHHH! Uhhhhh....Hey, you don't have to sneak up on me, I KNOW you're going to kill me. I volunteered, remember?

Mad Scientist: Yes, well I just didn't want you to.....Adam? Adam? Are you there? Great, he died on me while I was giving a speech.

Okay, you get the point and if you don't, the point is, the movie is pretty pointless. Doesn't go anywhere, doesn't do anything. You've seen this plot done better a million times. It does have some redeeming qualities. First, the location is DY-NO-MITE! Shot at 12,000 feet in Colorado, it's awesome. Secondly, whoever had the unfortunate job of editing the head did a great job. Watch it if you must, but don't say you weren't warned.
