Slow paced, but not as bad as to be expected…
Right, well I had no idea what I was in for when I sat down to watch the 2020 movie “The Scientist”, aside from it being a horror movie, and that its poster/cover was actually interesting enough to catch my attention. And with it being horror movie that I hadn’t already seen, I needed little persuasion to sit down to watch it.And while the storyline was rather slow paced, I will say that “The Scientist” actually turned out to be entertaining enough for what it was. For me, personally, it was the last half of the movie that really mattered, as this is where things started to pick up and become interesting. The storyline was pretty straight forward, truth be told, but it was for the most parts a bit too slow paced.
Now, I will not classify “The Scientist” as a zombie movie, but it is a prequel to such, in a way. I mean, this movie deals with the events that lead up to a potential outbreak of zombies. And that was definitely an aspect of the movie that worked for me, especially the last 10 minutes of the movie, that was just all worth it. I was definitely liking the ending of the movie, no doubt about it.
It should be said that the acting in the movie, for the most part, was shoddy, if not dubious. You are not in for a movie of Shakespearian performances when you sit down to watch writer and director Derrick Granado’s movie, “The Scientist”.
“The Scientist” is not a movie that is making heavy use of special effects, but luckily this is not the type of movie that needs to bedazzle the audience with a spectacle of grand special effects.
I am rating “The Scientist” a five out of ten stars. It was watchable, sure, but it wasn’t a grand cinematic moment.
Dreadful version of a standard horror/science-fiction theme
This is the old fundamentally-decent-scientist-driven-to-evil-deeds-in-an-effort-to-save-his-wife plot, and it would have worked 1) had the lead actor had a shred of charisma 2) had the lead actor not been so unattractive by movie standards (I mean, this guy picks up a pretty young woman in a bar?), 3) had the lead character not abandoned all morality in the space of a couple weeks (a more gradual plunge into evil was called for), and 4) had it made an ounce of sense to use the serum/drug on his dying wife when, up to that point, the mixture had only succeeded in producing blank-eyed, mindless, and dangerous walking-dead creatures. Other than that, this is a masterpiece of carefully and logically presented suspense/horror. We can only wonder if sheer awfulness was the filmmakers’ goal here.
