Serum

About This Movie

So, 'Serum' from 2006. It's this curious blend of horror and science fiction that dives deep into the psyche of a desperate scientist. Dr. K, as he’s known, is under intense pressure from a pharmaceutical company to deliver results, and the tension really hangs thick throughout the film. The pacing has a slow burn, which builds up an unsettling atmosphere, making you feel the weight of his moral dilemmas. The practical effects—quite impressive for its budget—definitely add a tangible quality to the horror. Performances are solid, especially from the lead, who captures that frantic desperation well. It’s one of those films that lingers in your mind, provoking thoughts about ethics in science and the cost of ambition.

Interesting exploration of ethics in science.Practical effects stand out for the budget.The lead performance adds depth to the character.
