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

No one is THAT stupid

Who writes this crap? The characters are written to be so utterly stupid and inept. Aren't they all Doctors? Aren't they meant to be the brightest of their time? No one in their right mind would behave the way they have written them in this film and as a result, the whole film is one long frustratingly stupid movie to watch. I was literally yelling at the screen for someone to actually behave like you would if a serious threat was coming at you.

The premise is basically the same as Ex-Machina but at least that film didn't write everyone as a complete moron!

If you want your sanity, stay away from this film!
