Plot Summary

Far From Bismark director Phillip Chidel takes a psychological approach to death and resurrection with a modern update on the Frankenstein legend concerning a doctor who claims to have found the key to immortality and the subject who ventures to his remote cabin for a series of chilling experiments. Deep within the snowbound monoliths of the Rocky Mountains, Dr. Franklin Vick is struggling to perfect the fine art of resurrection. Bringing the dead back to life is a tricky game though, and in order to truly carry out his research Dr. Franklin is going to need an assistant. Despite the highly controversial and blatantly unethical nature of Dr. Franklin's research, troubled medical student Adam Schmidt casts aside his doubts and hastily makes way for the doctor's snowbound laboratory to help take part in the potentially historic discovery. As the pair work feverishly to perfect their resurrection methods, they quickly find out that although death may not be as permanent as medical science presently dictates, it most certainly has some troubling side effects.

Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: Even if it overplays its ghoulish central concept, Subject Two honorably reps the neglected cerebral horror sub-genre. – Robert Koehler, Variety, Jul 7, 2010

Rotten: Bringing back the dead ... feels old hat by now, a feeling mitigated only in bits and pieces by this decently crafted plod. – Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune, Jun 24, 2010

Rotten: There are big ideas nibbling around the edges of the screenplay, but the movie seems underwhelmed by its own startling material. – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times, Jul 7, 2010

I really liked this movie...

After watching a so many horrible blockbusters, it felt good to actually feel involved in a movie. If this is a low budget film, it's done very well and reminded me a little of The Shining, although not as much scare. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes dark moral/phycological movies.

Couple of Dudes sitting around talking...

Very low budget movie looks great, has a nice score, has some interesting philosophical axes to grind. But the film completely lacks tension, scares, or dramatic build. Performances are fine, but the script keeps things way superficial, despite the heady "shold we play god" discourse. It's essentially a staged play. How midnight audiences at Sundance stayed awake for this one!

Good modern twist of Frankenstein

I think this film is an effective horror and character study between the "mad scientist" and the "creation"...yes it is talky but give it a viewing... To me, it is a tale of the pursuit and attainment of immortality with tragic realizations...yes I find it quite sad...good movie...
