Subject Two Reviews

O curioso roteiro passa perto de algumas boas questões filosóficas, abandonando-as por aparente falta de ambição. Ainda assim, prende a atenção até o fim; não com suspense, mas com seus personagens.

There are big ideas nibbling around the edges of the screenplay, but the movie seems underwhelmed by its own startling material.

for a completely independent and truly local film, Subject Two is good

Shot on high-definition video, Chidel's grisly indie draws as much blood as in any Roger Corman quickie, but it suffers from an anemic storyline.

Bringing back the dead ... feels old hat by now, a feeling mitigated only in bits and pieces by this decently crafted plod.

The plot's surprises aren't the focus, though they do exist; it's the overall story and its implications that Chidel wants us to consider.

A slick take on the Frankenstein concept, a pair of excellent lead performances, and a crisp, austere directorial style are the highlights, but the thing moves at such a glacial pace that it nearly stops time.

The resulting isolation lends an unnerving quality to the film, in which we are left to ponder what price we'd be willing to pay for immortality, and what would we refuse to sacrifice?

Even if it overplays its ghoulish central concept, Subject Two honorably reps the neglected cerebral horror sub-genre.
