Breeder – Movie Review
107 minutes, Not Rated
Written by Sissel Dalsgaard Thomsen
Directed by Jens Dahl
Synopsis:
A ruthless businesswoman is abducting young women as part of a gruesome bio-hacking experiment to reverse the aging process. When Mia goes to investigate, she finds herself trapped, branded and tortured in an underground medical facility.
This Danish horror film screened at a number of international film festivals, including Sitges in Catalonia, Fantastic Zagreb Film Festival in Croatia, Night Visions in Finland, and MonsterFest in Australia.
Now, questionable medical experimentation is one of the oldest horror tropes out there, and that’s okay. It really, really is.
Breeder has an overall theme not completely unlike Rabid, though the methodology is completely different.
I mean, experimentation on pregnant women? That’s a line few horror movies actually cross. Sure, you can put a pregnant woman in danger, or impregnate her via Satan or whatnot.
Heck, you can even kill a pregnant woman…
But the actual experimentation on them in terms of this film? Yeah, society still has issues with pregnancy.
The performances of the cast are good, overall, and the production value supports the grey-area motif of the research.
The action runs as you might expect, and the somewhat feral/vengeful ending isn’t out of bounds for what people have been through in this film.
Overall, I’ll give Breeder a recommend for you.
Check it out.
