serum start a eddie ( derek phillips ) be delight to learn he have be accept into medical school to carry on the family tradition of become an md like his father richard ( dennis oneill ) and his uncle eddie ( david h. hickey ) and however his joy could be short live a eddie be involve in an accident and be run over by a car . take to the near hospital it doesn not look good for poor eddie so his uncle eddie convince his brother richard to let him save eddie with the serum he have develop and a serum which will give the recipient the power to self heal any sort of wound or illness . desperate for his boy to live richard agrees but the procedure have unwanted side effect like turn eddie into a brain eating zombie which be just not a good thing . executive produce and write and direct by steve franke i will be perfectly frank myself and say serum be awful and serum be one of those no budget horror film which try to rip off other any number of other and end up be slightly more fun than have you fingernails pull out with plier . the script be terrible and it have the whole re animator ( 1985 ) feel to it with mad scientist wield huge syrinx try to eradicate death but it so bore it untrue and the first forty minute be nothing more than a really dull soap opera that amount to nothing expect to pad the running time out with eddie arrive home after spend some time away and find his ex girlfriend have hook up with someone else and argument with his step mom and get drunk with his mate and generally bore the audience stiff . so and once the tedium of the first forty minute be over and if your still watch it it take another twenty minute to get eddie re animate and then he kill a couple of people and police catch up with him and shoot him and the end . thank god . serum be devoid of any of the characteristic that one would associate with a good film and the character suck and the dialogue be poor and it take itself far too seriously and it dull and it slow and it forgettable and consider it mean to be a horror film there an alarm lack of blood and gore or horror . not recommended and do i mention serum be bore . i think so . director franke do nothing to liven this thing up and although competent there no style here at all . the gore level be none existent and there a bit of splashed blood and a bitten neck and a couple of scar on a dead woman face and a couple of scene where a needle pierce skin and that it . don not expect a re animator in the gore department because if you do your go to be sorely disappointed and much like i be in fact . film in what look like one house and one restaurant and a lab the film have no variety either and just look cheap throughout . there a couple of scene of nudity but that nowhere near enough to save it . technically the film isn not too bad and at least it look like proper camera be use and i can not really comment on the special effect because there aren not any but generally speak serum look reasonably professional . apparently shot in texas and or should that read it should have literally be shoot in texas . the act suck although again i think they be proper actor rather than friend or family of the director . serum be a terrible film and it dull and slow and boring and have no gore and feel like a horrible soap opera for the first forty minute . i do not understand why anyone would feel the need to watch this when they can watch re animator or one of it sequels again instead and seriously i recommend you give serum a miss . there i have just save you from waste 90 minute of your life and you can thank me later .
