1997103 min5.1 / 10

A sci-fi horror premise about uncontrolled biological experimentation that blends ecological anxiety with body-horror elements and family conflict.

In order to combat the damage caused by the depletion of the ozone layer, maverick biologist Hank Symes unleashes his most ambitious experiment to date: accelerated evolution. Unfortunately, this not only causes the authorities to take notice, but also creates a backlash from his new neighbors--leaving his son caught in the middle.
