. The most terrifying element in it is that I think "geniuses are lunatics". There is no difference between alive and dead in the eyes of the male second, in his world. Only himself and the experiment, I even suspect that one day, if necessary, he will turn himself into an experiment. Those capable geniuses despise everything around them. In this movie, the second man can create "resurrection medicine", so what he despises is life, except for the first and second men, it seems that other people or animals are waiting to appear. Be dead and then resurrected.
The second man seems to have a noble goal-to resurrect the dead beyond brain death. Similarly, his opponent, Dr. Hill, is also making a lot of efforts to control brain consciousness in order to become famous. However, they are all indifferent. Look at all life. In front of the dead, they have no mercy, only unscrupulous purposes, so the root of the horror in the story is not rotting corpses and crazy bodies, but the human selfishness and greed that led to these terrible creatures.
If I watched this film when I was a kid, I would be scared to pee. Americans 30 years ago could think too much~~
