A dark, dystopian thrill ride with an environmental slant, "The Fix" explores identity, perception and autonomy in a frighteningly viable future. A toxic compound infects earth's atmosphere. Pharmaceutical giant, Aethera, sells immunity to those who can afford the daily dose... most can't. When an image-conscious wild child takes a new designer drug at a house party, she inadvertently becomes an unintended test subject. Pursued by a dangerous gang and authorities in cahoots with Aethera, she hunts desperately for a "fix" that will reverse the drug's effects... only to discover that her mutations could save the human race.

Being derivative isn’t necessarily the end of a new film, but feeling like a scant retelling of elements which are more consistently fleshed-out in pre-existing films…kinda is. Go to Full Review

Markeis R @777HBK Mar 8 I don’t like dat lil light skin girl at all she made me mad thru the whole movie , all in all movie was OKAY to me wouldn’t recommend it tho See more Lorenz R @emot1onz Feb 28 Sonja: ★☆☆☆☆ | Lorenz: ★★★☆☆ The Fix has a few memorable body-horror comedy moments, but it never gives the viewer solid footing. The film provides almost no setup—especially around the protagonist’s mother, who seems important yet remains unexplained—so the stakes don’t land. For a large portion of the runtime, it feels like aimless, nonsensical dialogue until something finally happens. The acting often comes off awkward and low-budget, which adds to the disconnect. Still, the movie delivers standout scenes that are weird enough to be entertaining: her wolfing down food from the microwave, casually clipping off a stinger growing from her elbow with nail scissors, and the final reveal where she spreads her wings. The insect transformation is absurd in a way that’s genuinely funny. Overall: messy and underwritten, but intermittently entertaining if you enjoy surreal gross-out beats. See more sue o @swanann22 Dec 21 This is a nice, thoughtful sci-fi with good acting and solid writing. I think the special effects are decent and present a believable world, which is all I ask. This is set in a dystopian future, where the air itself has become toxic. Clean air has become a commodity that is for sale to the highest bidder. The main character, Ella, is a spokesmodel for a company manufacturing a drug called AirRemedy. But is the company really working to help everyone or is it only helping the "deserving" elites? Although Ella lives in the elite, privileged part of society, she desperately wants to be seen for herself and struggles for connection. As the movie progresses, Ella begins to experience personal changes, ironically, these outer changes begin to reflect inner changes. This leaves us to consider whether other people are willing to risk changing as Ella has, in order to save the world and we can, then, extend these questions to our own world. Worth checking out! See more Jordyn A @RT64816651 Dec 1 Just wow. Yes it is obvious the budget was not as high as other popular films- but the way the story is told is incredible. The suspense and twists were awesome. Very unique story. I love this movie so so much! See more Connor S. @cscotty Nov 18 A low budget film with a good concept but poor execution. The pacing of the movie is quick from the beginning with not much lead in to the actual plot. The acting wasn’t marvelous unfortunately and while I wasn’t a fan of the mutation make up, the concept was interesting. The directors/makeup artists did some interesting things with the mutation of her ears but they covered it up with the actors hair and wish they showed their work more.
