Errors of the Human Body (2012, Eron Sheean)

I'd advise anyone going into this flick not to expect a 'wild' sci-fi/'body horror' thrill ride. If you adjust your expectations accordingly, then "Errors of the Human Body" is actually a pretty well-acted film with a reasonably interesting story.

A well respected American geneticist is called to a German biology lab to lecture on treating genetic mutations. He ends up uncovering the secret experiments being conducted by a few students who are injecting live mice with some potentially lethal virus that is possibly capable of rabidly regenerating living organisms. While sleuthing around their research, he's bitten by one of the lab mice and becomes infected with the sickness...

"Errors of the Human Body" isn't a bad film at all. Nothing quite along the lines of a Cronenberg flick, to say the least, but still a relatively engaging, low-key 'psychological bio-horror' film with extremely solid performances and some fairly gripping, depressive atmosphere. Again, it's nothing spectacular, but if a more slow-burn type of 'body horror' flick sounds like something you could get into, I'd give it a rec on a strict acting and storyline basis. Worth a look.
