Decent idea. Worst camera/cinematography, crappy acting/dialogue/characters, poor TV quality This must be the worst camera/cinematography. Shaky crappy camera zooms. The worst.The story is OK but very slow. Poor TV quality, with crappy acting and dialogue. Even with a low budge, they just needed to spend more time on the screenplay.Rating a D, or a 2 just for the idea.Decent idea.

I can't see any reference anywhere to 'Bug Jack Barron' - a seminal SF masterpiece by Norman Spinrad (easily his best book) that I expect is now pretty difficult to find [? I haven't seen much of Spinrad's work available recently as he seems to have gone out of favour - he never was very PC - possibly because of his cult pulp classic 'The Iron Dream' which has Hitler causing mayhem as the leader of a Hell's Angels chapter], but from which this plot appears to have been lifted.Anyone who likes the plot ideas (but doesn't rate the enactment in this adaptation) is strongly recommended to check out the book which has a whole lot more going for it, including a very early (published in 1972... the book is set in 1994) take on reality TV and the power of TV consumer campaigning. Pulp fiction isn't often a very good predictor of future realities, but there is an extraordinary amount of detail in this book that is scarily close to where the media is leading us...

The only reason I'm even giving this movie a 4 is because it was made in to an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. The horrible direction is only slightly overshadowed by the characters complete inability to act. The lead is an actor i have never seen in anything else and it shows. No chemistry with the love interest and so bland you almost don't care what happens to him. Dick Sargent was not convincing as a villain least of all this guy was suppose to be super evil...he was more annoying then anything. Peter Graves was the only person the movie that wasn't awful, his part was small and even he couldn't compensate for his co-stars lack of talent. In 2004 someone tried to make this mess all over again it was called The Island...I personally didn't see that movie but from what i understand its the same movie. If you want to laugh at this movie get the MST3k episode its really funny...full of bewitched and biography references it makes this movie finally watchable

This low budget thriller is a pretty decent B movie with a great original premise.The government has been running a clone farm for many years and now one of the clones has escaped into the outside world.A clever premise, some solid direction, and a good cast help to make this film a pretty compelling sci-fi thriller. The Clonus Horror is an effectively chilling film that examines the theme of what it is to be human and just how the advance of science can ultimately turn to a violation of human life. The direction of Robert Fiveson is well-done, as he creates some nicely nightmarish sequences to give this film a creepy edge, as though the subject matter of the movie alone isn't unsettling enough. There's also some gruesome scenes as well. Kudos also go to a stirring, operatic music score.The cast delivers good on their performances and features some great veteran actors like Dick Sargent, Peter Graves, and Keenan Wynn.While The Clonus Horror may not have the big budget of The Island, it's as equally thought-provoking and disturbing. Worth seeking out, especially for film buffs. *** out of ****
