a others have mention and this movie be similar to the fly ( both version ) and the less known sci fi flick alter state . the big difference be that those two movie be well make by people who know what they be do and be good at it . metamorphosis do not have these advantage . metamorphosis be a potentially interesting science fantasy story that have the wrong people in charge of it and the wrong actor play the role . the story follow scientist dr. peter houseman ( gene lebrock ) and an obsessed man work on a genetic cure to age and death . when the university he work for threatens to cut funding and he decide to inject the anti age serum into himself . a a result and dr. houseman spend the rest of the movie slowly turn into a lizard . and oh yes and watch the good doctor go through the process of become that lizard be a great joy . it really be so bad that it good . some of the line be classic represent what be it . a nightmare . from the past . many of the review that i have read for this point up how stupid and ridiculous the last five minute of this movie be . i be just go to go ahead and spoil it represent the good doctor go from be a shuffle half man and half lizard thing to be what appear to be a man in a rejected godzilla costume and when the police finally gun him down . in the final scene and some obnoxious kid be see with a little pet lizard which he claim will never die and and the movie heroine and sally donnelly ( catherine baranov ) evidently decide that the little lizard be the final incarnation of dr. houseman . the camera then give u a close up of the lizard face while this be and i assume and the director way of show u that the lizard be evil . yes and it be goofy and but i fell over laugh so i can not complain . i watch this movie because it be a part of the chill classic 50 movie megapack that i purchase . i be sure many of those who be read this do exactly the same thing and a the 50 pack be the only way to see this movie on dvd . if you have recently buy the boxed set and haven not watch this movie yet and it really be worth your time and even if i do just ruin the end for you . it might also be possible to find this movie online for free .
