Critique: Low film quality. Warmed up? Put it back in the microwave and warm it up some more. It looks like they forgot to get this one to the film editor. Incoherent. This mess won the 1984 Grand Prix International Festival of Fantasy and Science Fiction Films.
Plot Summary: Michael was injected by daddy's competitor, and then Michael shoots daddy and mommy. Seven years later Michael is released from the psychiatric instutite. Meanwhile Dr. Howell is now working at the trans-cranial istitute. Among the gatuitous events: gruesome surgery sessions and the decomposition of post ops. We meet Michael and three unsavory friends out for a couples weekend. One can see they are protagonists only by comparison to the post ops we meet on the ferry on the way over to trans cranial. Michael sees Dr. Mumbo on the island. Our foursome is sobered by a motorcycle chase in the tunnels by the postops. Soon we're running around the institute amidst much amusing mayhem.
