[The filmmakers’] emphasis remains on mood and tension rather than tech gimmickry...their imagination is expressed in the way they elicit their strange and oppressive world on a very modest budget. Go to Full Review

Claudio C @Claudio666 1d Protos / The Protos Experiment (2025) Some Good Ideas to Think (12,611 – 07 Aug 2026 – Claudio Carvalho) Kyra (Anja Akstin), John (Fred Thomas Jr.) and Nev (Ricky Herrera) wake up with no recollection chained inside spaces separated by plastic curtains. Out of the blue, a man with a device with color and screen attached to his head try to kill them. Suddenly, they wake up in a cave again without recollection, but Kyra slightly remember John. Soon they learn that they are convicted to capital penalty in the death row that accepted to participate in an experiment of a private company. "Protos", a.k.a. "The Protos Experiment" (2025), is a low-budget movie with some good ideas to make the viewer think. For example, if a criminal has his mind reprogrammed with another identity, how would the family of his victims react? Or is it fair that a criminal becomes s guinea pig submitted to several tests? My vote is five. Title (Brazil): "Gosto Infernal" ("Infernal Taste") See more Read all reviews
