ADAPTOID 24 [Review]

If there’s one moral lesson I can cherry-pick from most horror sci-fi movies as a fellow scientist, it’s definitely this one: tampering in genetic level is a perilous endeavour.

After 23 failed attempts, the last one unleashes havoc. This is Adaptoid 24. The message still remains — never play God.
