- Quotes
Lab Attendant: I have here an opportunity--
[holds out a pen to Michael]
Lab Attendant: this pen is made of chemicals, but if I took these same chemicals and recombined them, I could make an automobile, or an electric light! The whole world is made of chemicals, Michael--you can make anything! And if you're smart... you'll make opportunities.

A horrifying but interesting movie
This was a very creepy & uneasy to watch movie. The ending could've been better.
