The New Hands (2023)
2/10
Is this satire?
30 September 2023
Let me be clear, it's not good. Funny? Yes. Entertaining? Yes. But not good. Still would definitely recommend this movie for a laugh though.

Quickly gotta acknowledge all of the (so, so many) scientific inaccuracies in regards to transplants and general lab safety. Dude could have sued the lab for just a silly number of things and retired comfortably the same day.

That said, the whole thing is so ridiculously heavy-handed that it just works better as an over-the-top satire than anything genuine. Someone really could have used a hand in writing the script with a little (or a lot) more subtlety. I'm not just pointing the finger at the writer, but ultimately it's handy to acknowledge where some of the problems stem from.

I don't want to go through it all point-by-point, that's not fun to read. Just watch it for a good laugh, don't take it seriously and you'll have a good time. And please, for the love of god, change the bandages!

"Phantasmagorical". Now the quote from IMDb in the trailer is legit.
