This is a neat little flick. The characters are a little thin, but the great dialogue and bizarre plot leave you with a cheesy horror film trapped inside a reflective art house film. The delivery is mediocre, but this is certainly something different, and I applaud the creativity behind it. Jared Harris was a standout as always.
I found this on VHS at my local thrift store. I expected I night in with laughable nonsense. This is laughable, don't get me wrong, but this is a genuinely good creature feature.
What "Aberration" lacks in plot originality or cliche it more than makes up for in characters, performances, and fun. Lots of zany over the top acting with a sense of self awareness. The characters feel genuine and fun.
What makes Aberration "work" is knowing how to give the viewer what they want: blood, violence, and creature effects. New and creative kills are constantly in motion, though I suspect the film maker and I share a favorite: the lizard stomp.
Check it out with some friends. Bring some snacks and drinks.

A SOLID 8/10
I came into this fresh of the heels of Albert Pyun's "Cyborg" with Van Damme, which thoroughly bored me. I was expecting more of the same from Nemesis. Bad acting with lots of horrible dialogue and a shoddy plot that took center stage over action and fun. Oh god. I was right with the lame plot and dialogue, but Jesus Christ, this flick is FUN. The limited budget is readily apparent, which makes me very concerned about all of the stunts and SFX. Tons of real explosions, real guns being fired, everyone's a cyborg and shoots fountains of sparks out of their chests, and one of the best action moments I've ever seen involving a waterslide. This is some of the most fun I've had with an action movie or a B movie in a long time. Keep an eye out for Thomas "why am I here" Jane and a young Jackie Earl Haley!
Has anybody checked on these actors and stunt people? Are they okay?
