Achieving the Superman!

The link between this sequel and the first ANATOMIE is precisely what I had found more interesting in the first movie: the ethical borders in medicine. However in this film the matter has a special development as the truly, and the only, point of the film is that one. The movie genre of this sequel is quite different from the first one, because if ANATOMIE could perfectly fit in the horror type, including the plot development and other typical clichés of that genre, ANATOMIE 2 is more like a Scientific Fiction thriller. Of course it also has suspense, deaths, and a bit of blood but it's more like a action thriller with the medicine issue as background. In this film the secret Masonic organization called A.A.A (Age Actabile Antihippocrate) – which is the main link to the first movie – was trying to achieve a new kind of muscular strength, hoping to create a superman! I enjoyed this sequel in a different way from the first movie, but also score it 6/10.
