See I'm against reeboots and remakes but it's films like this that perhaps should be considered for one. The reason? It was made for television and is rather obscure, at time of writing it has less than 100 ratings on IMDB which for a 1979 movie is remarkable.
Starring Robert Forster this fascinating little horror/thriller tells the story of a man who illegally and secretly has himself cloned but the clone sets his sights on succeeding his creator.
The movie raised a lot of moral questions and handled them relatively well with a predictable ambiguous finale that I enjoyed.
Though The Darker Side Of Terror is hardly ground breaking it's an interesting piece worthy of anyones time.
Should this get remade there are a fair few parts I think need tweeking, doing this could make an instant classic.
The Good:
Very interesting concept
The Bad:
Title doesn't fit the movie at all
Forster isn't on point here
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
If it had been me that kid wouldn't have touched the ceiling, she'd have gone through it
