Finally this is out on DVD (under the name Clonus). I've been wanting to see this film for years & yet not willing to pay the outrageous prices for the long-out-of-print tape. Contrary to its reputation, I didn't find this to be a lousy film, but I actually rather liked it. Seems that a group of young people who have an idyllic life are only in that position because they're being farmed. Yep, they're clones, and once they reach a certain stage in their life they leave for the fabled "America". America is not quite what they expect it to be though. Seems like something very sinister is afoot. One young man finds a beer can in the river near their compound and asks what it is, and that starts him thinking about what's going on and he starts snooping around and eventually escapes to the outside world, to find he already IS in America, the real one, that is. After being pursued by an agent of Clonus, he manages to elude him and is taken in by an elderly man (Keenan Wynn) and his wife, and eventually is taken to the man that he thinks is his father, the brother of an important senator running for President (Peter Graves). As more is revealed it turns out that there is something very sinister indeed going on, which involves extended lives for important people, thanks to the organ bank provided by the residents of Clonus. Oh my! This is not top notch, but I still found it to be a pretty decent movie. Kind of makes you think, yes it does. 7 out of 10.
