The Kindred

The cinematic world is full of mad scientists. The mad scientist in this episode decided to use DNA from her own son to create some hybrid creature. Why? Because she could. Did the experiment go awry? Does a bear take a dump in the woods? The code name for the experiment was Anthony which led her son John to believe that he had a missing brother. If his brother was a predatory mutant, then yes he had a missing brother. This horror movie was just short of horrible. There were a couple of gnarly effects with the creature but not enough to carry the film. Overall it was weak and uninspired.

A young scientist enlists some friends to help him explore his dead mother's scientific experiments, revolving around somebody/something she referred to as Anthony. Made during the later mid 1980's when horror franchises were big box office The Kindred is a stand alone title, a science fiction/horror B-movie that really deserves better recognition. Although not perfect by any means we get a well acted movie, interesting if slightly silly plot and lots of great 80's practical special effects, some are quite gross but in an impressive way, for example one character turns into a fishy gill woman. If this were to be remade I fear it would use horrible looking CGI. I have this on VHS, very nostalgic as I can remember renting it out, but it really, really needs a decent DVD or blu-ray release. A good example of an 80's effects driven horror movie, recommended.

Dying woman (Kim Hunter) tells her son (David Allen Brooks) to destroy all of her lab work and that he also had a brother. Brooks takes some of his friends, plus a mysterious woman (Amanda Pays) that claims to be a big fan of his mother's work, to mom's house. There they fall victim to a monster that his mom accidently created and that Rod Steiger is trying to capture for research. Scary film with an intense opening sequence and a good cast, especially Steiger and Pays. It also features some good nasty gross out special effects, especially the watermelon scene and the finale. A very underrated horror film. Rated R; Graphic Violence and Profanity.

Dr.Amanda Hollins,a molecular biologist who,in distress and ill health requests her son John to destroy all the lab notes from her last genetic experiment.She also blurts out that he had a brother named Anthony.From her natural son's living tissue,Amanda has created a half-human monster that sits dormant in her basement.Unfortunately for John and his friends Anthony has come to life as an oozing,tentacled and slime-covered monster,ready to taste human blood..."The Kindred" is a seriously underrated little horror flick.The creature effects are pretty good,the acting is fine and there is a little bit of gore.The action is fast-paced and the film manages to be both entertaining and gruesome.All in all,"The Kindred" provides a few chills plus a few intense moments.Give this obscure little gem a look.7 out of 10.

This film is not the best around but is certainly worth a watch. The monster itself is very cool, it is like a hybrid of Alien and the monster from The Suckling. In fact the reason I got this film is because it looked similar to The Suckling. The story and characters take a while to develop which does get a bit boring, and it takes a while before the monster arrives on the scene. But it's worth the wait. The bit where the monster pokes a claw through the floorboards and the dog starts barking at it had me in hysterics. Rod Steiger, who was another reason I got this film (I thought he was amazing in American Gothic) was OK but not up to his usual standards. There's some cool special effects like when the monster pokes one of its tentacles through the skin of a woman, but they are used very little.
