Quotes

[first lines]
Dr. Kathy Grieff: [enters the holding cell] Hi, darling. It's me. I thought we'd have lunch together today. Oh, angel, you look sad. You know, it's a very, very natural thing. It's actually a very human thing to feel sad. But emotions aren't bad.
Dr. Kathy Grieff: I'm sorry, baby. I'm still trying to get them to change their mind and let you out for a little bit.
Dr. Kathy Grieff: [Morgan suddenly lunges at her and begins stabbing her] No! Get off! No! Oh, god!

User Reviews

i really enjoyed it.

Having run across the film Morgan (2016) I certainly had an interest in it. This style is kind of a genre/movie vibe that I tend to enjoy. Morgan (2016) didn't seem to have the marketing reach, nor a really big cast, but for what they used to put this film together I feel they done a really nice job.

This is a film for fans who enjoy stories like this one, sort of that Splice feel to it. Certainly eerie and strange, though slow with that 80's thriller sound effect mix; everything just kind of fit well. The cast for this film performed their roles quite nicely, the effects and story I think kept things in place. All and all it turned out to be a lot better than I expected, I'm a sci-fi/robot nerd "what else can I say?" other than I prefer robots over humans.
