Synopsis:
Dr. Robert Lesgard is a famous plastic surgeon who is making a "very special" project. It has something to do with creating a synthetic skin through the process of Transgenesis. It would be a major breakthrough in the field of Biomedical Science if ever his project would be successful. His subject of experiment is a gorgeous yet mysterious woman named Vera. She stays at Dr. Lesgard's house and is being cared by a servant. Vera is not an ordinary woman. Aside from wearing those skin tone colored suits, she is never allowed to leave her room. Startling discoveries will soon unravel as the story goes on...
Reaction:
This film is uniquely crafted. I like how the director was able to present each character meticulously. There are several narrative scenes which would help connect the past and the present. Each scene is brilliantly executed. There are several scenes that would leave the audience shocked, surprised, thrilled and even terrified. You need to focus on each scene so you will not miss something important.
The actors are perfect for their roles. Antonio Banderas is in his usual cool self as Dr. Robert Lesgard while the beautiful Elena Anaya is really convincing as Vera. She has that strong yet mysterious aura. I like how each characters are developed and how the story moves from being slow to something really intense. Each scenes keeps on building up until it blows to its ultimate climax. I can only commend how brilliantly the director is able to piece out each complicated puzzles together. Two thumbs up for this film... If you enjoy watching suspense thrillers and a bit of drama, I would highly recommend this one.
