This is an OK film but in the tradition of falsehoods on box-art it says "The Most Frightening film since....." and this isn't the least bit scary. The concept of the doppelganger, or the exact double, is explored briefly in one person, then in the main character, and apart from that it's almost not even an factor in the film. An genius inventor develops an "electronic body", a chair that will do what it's willed to via artificial limbs, and this movie is more about his accomplishments and not selling out (with a sequence of crosses, double crosses, and triple crosses towards the end). His exact double shows up at some point, looks the same but is rude, crude, and socially unacceptable, and that is played to the hilt but doesn't really cut it. But is this even a horror film or a science fiction film? Not really, and therefore I'm a bit disappointed with Tartan Asia Extreme since their track record of what they've put out has been fairly decent so far. 5 out of 10 stars, you can really find lots of better things with which to occupy your time. This one's a trade-in.
