Molins de Rei 2014: Review of “Closer to God” by Billy Senese

Closer to God

Billy Sense arrived at Molins de Rei Horror Film Festival with his revision of the classic "Frankenstein" in the key of science fiction, "Closer to God".

With the excuse of advances in cloning, the director presents us with a new version of Mary Shelley's novel.

"Closer to God" presents us with a regular character in genre cinema, obviously inherited from "Frankenstein", the man who plays God.

Victor Reed is a doctor who has managed, with private funding, to clone a baby named Elizabeth. Popular opinion is more than divided, but the biggest problem is not that some want to end their experiment, but that it is not the first time they have tried it and previously nothing went well.

Although the adaptation is more than correct dealing with somewhat different topics, the film lacks the necessary rhythm so that the film does not become endless since the evolution of the plot is more than predictable.

His epilogue, an attempt to create debate about what cloning Nowadays, it seems to arrive at least a decade late, since that debate has already been opened by other films years ago.

Rating: 4 / 10
