| User ReviewChuck ZRock Hudson grows Barbara Carrera from an embryo and then he DOES her! It's stem-cell-riffic! Great '70s low budget classic! |
| User ReviewWill DPretty decent sci-fi style story involving test tube babies and strange injections. Good acting, and a decent enough movie with a message. |
| User ReviewMichael WNot great but a rather intresting modern day frankenstein tale. Worth a watch |
| User ReviewRichard CA scientist discovers a growth hormone that enables an embryo to develop into a young woman in a matter of days. He then goes about teaching the bright woman about life, including a hands on tutorial of the birds and the bees. Good tragic ending. |

| User ReviewWes SSlow moving which doesn't get thrilling enough until the end. Bland characters and an overall pretentious plot. It has some eerie tones to it, but the film simply doesn't offer enough. |
| User Reviewdan bNot as exciting as the title would lead you to believe, the chess scene with Roddy McDowall is pretty amusing though. |
| User ReviewYann FUn nanar seventies sur les manipulations d'embryons, dont la trame est plus ou moins pompee sur celle de Frankenstein : un toubib, bouleverse par la mort de sa femme enceinte, mene des experiences pour sauver des embryons en accelerant leur croissance mais finit par engendrer un monstre qui se retourne contre lui et sa famille. La seule originalite ici, c'est que le monstre a la plastique tres avenante de Barbara Carrera, la James Bond girl de "Jamais plus Jamais", et que le createur finit par se taper sa creature. Ce funeste inceste aurait probablement beaucoup inspire des types comme Cronenberg, De Palma ou Verhoeven. Malheureusement, "Embryo" a ete realise par un tacheron hollywodien Ralph Nelson qui n'a absolument aucune idee de mise en scene. Tout est filme avec platitude, sans distance, avec des references ultra convenues comme ce plan sur une reproduction de la "Creation d'Adam" de Michelange, au moment ou le doc' decide de poursuivre ses experiences sur des embryons humains. Les monologues interminables du toubib plombent le rythme d'entree et la musique est absolument abominable. Esthetiquement, on se croirait parfois dans un episode de "Dallas" ou de "l'Amour du Risque". Et la fin est absolument ridicule. |
| User ReviewMatt MRock Hudson plays a scientist who, while experimenting with fetuses, discovers a way to grow one to an adult in just a few days. However, one of his human experiments turns into an intelligent psycho killer. One in a long line of terrible and clueless horror films which starred classic Hollywood stars. Avoid at all costs. |
| User ReviewVladdy TroutOuch. Painful. This movie should be used in Gitmo instead of waterboarding. |
