Mr. Stitch

This film is an interesting little experiment: lots of bright white light framing images that linger for the camera, the Frankenstein story updated as an anti-war morality tale. Rutger Hauer chews the scenery a bit as the update of Dr. Frankenstein, and the generic evil general is all cartoon; still, Wil Wheaton as Lazarus, the creation, and Nia Peeples as his sympathetic caretaker/tutor, are worth watching. (Taylor Negron also makes an appearance as a slimy cohort who gets his just reward--his specialty.) Not a big budget affair, but not a complete waste of time, either, if you like quirky sci-fi fantasy.

How they were able to attain funding to produce this..uh..movie, has to be more of a feat than the production itself.

I'm so glad to see Wil Wheaton didn't leave Star Trek: The Next Generation without such promising projects awaiting him.

Wheaton plays an androgenous, Palamino-skinned Frankenstein's Monster with amnesia, who after reading one of several books, the Bible, names himself Lazarus.

With huge vacant lab rooms, filmed using more lens gauze than Penthouse, an eventual laboratory breakout, and a crazy road trip(by the way, when did he take the 'Mad Max' driving course), 'Stitch' can only leave you asking one question? Ron Perlman had plenty of time post-"Beauty and the Beast", but what was Taylor Negron thinking?

I rented this TV movie cause it had Rutger Hauer in it. I never imagined I was renting something soooo bad. The amount of flaws this movie has wouldn't fit on a grocery list. I felt sorry for Hauer, seeing him so fat and old, starring on a movie that was so bad. I think he ran away from making this movie, after seeing how bad it was turning out to be(we can only see Hauer on the first minutes of film, afterwards, he simply disappear). I know this film has had its amount of bad critics, but it is just that bad. A 0.5 out of 10.

This is without doubt one of the worst films I have ever seen. I saw it at a friend's birthday party where someone had recommended it as being a good film.

Mr Stitch was so boring that I even found the opening credits boring! The rest of the film was no better. The first two thirds of it took place in this enormous white room without walls. The story seemed to drag on an awful lot and took forever to get to the point of the story which it didn't really appear to have much of.

The bizarre looking Frankenstein like creation continued to have memories which were left in the body parts that had come from the people who were dug up in order to build this prototype super soldier for the military. It was difficult trying to find a reason to stay awake, but the person who recommended it kept saying "a good bit was coming up soon". It never did.

I have heard that this film won a Golden Turkey award for the most boring film of all time. An award which is most deserving. The only notable parts of the movie with any entertainment value at all are the observation eyeball and the smoke cloud in the shape of a skull.

Watch it if you suffer from insomnia.

I think the movie was excellent, it was not violent for starters compared to other recent movies.

Wheaton plays the part of a man who has been 'stitched' together like humpty dumpty, well from the remains of many dead persons. The problem starts when he starts remembering how they died and lots of other memories they had. Nia Peeples is great in the movie, as is Wheaton.

The movie reminds us, not to play with nature, not to "play God" with life. What God creates we shouldn't manipulate for our own egoistical interest such as creating super-soldiers which was what the movie was about.

Great sci-fi movie, unfortunately it was shown at 1.30am last night on tv!
