Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times There are big ideas nibbling around the edges of the screenplay, but the movie seems underwhelmed by its own startling material. Rated: 2/4 Apr 14, 2006 Full Review Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune Bringing back the dead ... feels old hat by now, a feeling mitigated only in bits and pieces by this decently crafted plod. Rated: 2/4 Apr 13, 2006 Full Review Robert Koehler Variety Even if it overplays its ghoulish central concept, Subject Two honorably reps the neglected cerebral horror sub-genre. Jan 23, 2006 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena O curioso roteiro passa perto de algumas boas questões filosóficas, abandonando-as por aparente falta de ambição. Ainda assim, prende a atenção até o fim; não com suspense, mas com seus personagens. Rated: 3/5 Sep 11, 2006 Full Review Andy Mauro Dread Central Subject Two makes for an oddly inert viewing experience. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 19, 2006 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3.5/5 May 6, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I enjoyed this film. It's more of a thought provoking science fiction movie rather than a horror/thriller. The concept is very interesting and the end had a good twist to it. This was really good considering it was probably done with a lower budget than most. If your looking for horror or action...you probably won't like this film. *SPOILER* It seemed like every time subject 2 was killed and brought back he lost a piece of his soul when all along if the "Doctor" had just waited it out after the first resurrection...the negative side effects would've passed and the "subject" would've been fine. But the doctor was too busy trying to be God to actually allow the serum enough time to work correctly. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Frances H Interesting indi scifi flick. Gorgeous mountain scenery. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/15 Full Review Audience Member 150508: This movie was really looking good to me, for quite awhile. Loved the concept and the inhumane treatment of Adam was shocking. When the Professor makes his appearance it was a real let down. I did not find Thomas Buesch at all appropriate for the character. He just didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the film. Too bad as this film had/has a lot going for it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Talky, moody and slow-moving. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member looks like made for cable crap. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review william s If your looking for a thinking mans boring a$$ take on Frankenstein,than this is your movie.
