      soul transfer

      When eight-year-old Adam died in a traffic accident, his mother Jesse grieved and accepted her former teacher, now doctor's proposal: to clone an Adam. Eight years later, Adam's body gradually awakened another soul, which constantly influenced him to do crazy and extraordinary things, and even killed a classmate he disliked. The doctor and Paul hypnotized him and learned more. Paul went to the city to inquire about the Soul Sark, and finally learned that his crazy actions, killing his mother...

      a bit messy

      I always jumped in places I thought would be scary, but when I went back to see it, it wasn't scary at all. A child's eyes are a bright spot, both morally and scientifically. This subject is still immature.
      1) Why didn't the couple have a new one? Why do you want to clone?
      2) If it was only after the age of 8 that he became abnormal again and dreamed of the doctor's son's life, why didn't he dream of his own son before? Even if you can manipulate genes, you can't control the different...

      The film has flaws, but it still works

      In a family of three, one day his mother bought shoes for Adam, and then Adam dropped the ball on the road to pick it up and was hit by a car. Afterwards, doctors said that an identical fetus could be regenerated by cloning through cell transplantation. Sure enough, the newly born fetus is exactly the same as Adam. When Adam died at the age of 8, after 8 years, Adam changed and his personality became a boy named Sackley, who had previously killed his mother, set fire to his school and...

      Unable to bear the consequences of the temptation to regenerate his son.

      I'm not a bold person, so I rarely horror movies.
      I hate kids so I rarely see kids do play a leading role.
      I chose this film
      just because it is curious that in the world Bram Stoker [ Birth] The kid who fooled the adults into a stunned one. How
      did his first work perform? The

      use of genes to replicate human beings is a very controversial issue. Both morally and ethically. The
      male protagonist is a good person . but Losing children. just a day after his...

      Treating cloning with an ostrich policy won't do anything good either

      When a couple's son died in a car accident, a doctor cloned a son from their dead son's cells, but in this experiment, the doctor injected the cell with the memory of another child who murdered and set fire. Therefore, when this child grows up a little, the hallucination of the child who murdered and set fire always appears in front of his eyes, and his personality sometimes becomes like that, as if he is schizophrenic, and even kills a classmate and his own mother. The child's father later...

      The beginning was beautiful and the ending was amazing. . . Why this couple is so strong is to adopt this kid again and again. . . The most frightening thing is that after going to ask the old house owner, the woman is lying on the window and talking. . . It's fun to watch ghost movies with the big...

      I've wanted to watch this movie for a long time, but I can't find any resources. Luo Ye has all participated in the film, but this movie is really mysterious. Too bad, have you figured out whether it is going to be supernatural or sci-fi, and the ending is even more confusing? Greg's performance is good, although I rarely see his films, but his old face and acting make me appreciate...

      Cloning can achieve the purpose of replacement to a certain extent, but if a gene is wrong, it will become a devil. Another example of a child turning into a demon. I think if there is an evil smile behind the innocent face of the child, the horror effect will not be...

    Evaluation action

    The issue of human cloning has always been a very sensitive topic, directly involving the bottom line of religion, morality, and law. Therefore, it is also highly controversial and is legally prohibited by various countries. The film chose this theme, naturally, to win the attention of the audience, but from the impression of the whole film, it is a pity that this good topic is relatively loose in rhythm, and the emotional changes of...
