Russian "Re-Animator" .........

As I have found with many foreign films, they often lose something in the translation, and "Professor Dowell's Testament" is no exception. Interesting because of the Russian actors and locations, the film is somewhat disjointed, but certainly is not an intellectual insult like so many Hollywood low budget horrors. The visuals are interesting, and perhaps influenced other films with similar immortality themes. I believe most viewers will find the film to be dated, slow, and boring. With that in mind, only curious film buffs, and those who enjoy curiosities, should expect even marginal entertainment. All others would be advised to avoid. - MERK
