Warning: Spoilers
This review is Non-spoiler alert for the beginning.. I will caution you when spoiler is coming:

HULU REVIEW - Recently added, not many ratings: Just finished watching. I couldn't go much higher than 4/10 for this movie. It's a slow-burn, 'twist-ending' style movie. I'd say, on a rainy Sunday, when you're trying to avoid doing the laundry - you could do worse than this movie... as long as IT'S FREE (never pay to see this movie) on a streaming service!! ~ Side note: I love Rik Mayall, just had to watch, even if it was to only see him again!





*WARNING - BELOW ARE SPOILER ALERTS!* . . . Basically, Dr. X had a son with his wife, Sarah. The son had some AFU disease, and died in a week. It was such a rare disease, it was named after Dr. X. (He and wife are divorced/ing?). Dr. X also had a fling with his Grad student Rebekka - not really sure how long ago - at least 4 years, before the baby? Rebekka had Dr. X invited out to work on a project with her - regeneration, she was able to get it to work in reptiles, not mammals - she needed Dr. X. Neo-nazi, balled-boy (NNBB) is stealing vials of Rebekka's work, testing on mice. Dr. X follows NNBB'S assistant 1 day, find this out - and of course gets bitten by mouse = Now Dr. X has the genetic mutation.

*'TWIST ENDING'*: Dr. X ends up contracting the same disease his son had... that's the 'secret' project Rebekka was working on - curing what killed his son. Dr. X goes off to some abandoned area to supposedly die, slices his wrists and... wakes up in a hospital bed. Where he's told what the genetic mutation was, and why he was so important. Both Dr. X and his son have some type of immunity (ie: it won't kill them). There was a flash instant several minutes before, showing Dr. X with his newborn suffering, and a pillow... nothing else. So, Rebekka asked, "You were able to cure yourself... why didn't your son not live through it?" (tears down her eyes.....), Dr. X, "I had no idea"..... END. . . I just save you 2 hours! YOU'RE WELCOME!
