Not that bad, just a bad ending!

First off I want to say don't listen to what "kingdio" said about this movie."kingdio,you had no right calling someone an idiot for liking this movie and then saying they must be deaf and stupid". Not everyone will like this movie that's true but other's will enjoy it. I enjoyed this movie.I liked the slow buildup of the story as the deranged Doctor Green (played perfectly by Bill Cobbs) explains to his visitor's how a potion he created out of snake venom gave him superhuman strength while a storm was raging outside.I liked how Doc Green,Cameron and Willy all sat around his house drinking beer while each had their own motives.It was funny watching Cameron(played by Alex Feldman)trying to manipulate the doctor by getting him drunk.And good acting by new comer Jason Scott Campbell also who played Willy.This is the type of movie where you have to pay attention to the detail of what was being said. The part I didn't like was how the wife ended up turning into a monster.I was expecting their young son Nathan to show up instead,especially after the doctor mentioned that his dead son visits him when it's dark and he fed the boy candy.You never do see the boy other then his grave and I did not understand what all the candy wrappers were for.What the hell was the Doctor doing with all the candy.I think the story would haver been better if the doctor had his son hidden in an upstairs bedroom of his home instead of the wife.It would have been more creepy to see a kid transformed into some kind of a creature because of his father's cruel experiments.I did not understand the connection between the candy wrappers and his wife.The ending was what I didn't like because it doesn't really end like others said.It ends right in the middle of a part of the story in a hospital room.If there is going to be a sequel then I can understand it, but to leave it the way it was does nothing for it and is very amateur.It is a sad way to end a well acted movie.
