Syngenor

Listen. Objectively, this film is sludge. I don't think anyone can deny that. But the colorful villains keep bringing me back to this damn film!! David Gale's crazed performance as Carter Brown, even if it makes up just 1/10th of the screen time, is fun as all hell to watch. And his dubious little associate Paula Gorski (even if Riva's performance comes off even hammier than David's at times) is pretty fun as well. The protagonists aren't memorable. But the wild combination of cartoonishly large laser guns, giant lizard men, unstable rabbit-masked killers, 90's vaporwave aesthetics, finger-licking, military satire, 80's power suits, and general tomfoolery just keep bringing. Me. Back. To. This. Atrocious. Film. Hell, both Carter and Paula have lines where they say "Balls". Who wrote this?? I just want to talk.

As a horror/sci-fi, this film is a peerless failure. It's yet another "Alien" rip-off created in the early 1990s when rubber monster suits became more affordable. The acting, direction, and screenplay are all awful - to say nothing of the aforementioned bargain basement creature effect. "Syngenor" does, however, deserve an 8/10 for pure entertainment value. Rarely have I laughed so hard at a film. If you want to watch a real movie, avoid "Syngenor" at all costs. If, on the other hand, you want an evening of hilarity, gather up some friends, buy the spirits of your choice, and enjoy "Syngenor" in all its absurd glory. Goofy dialogue, ridiculous plot devices, monsters who jig wildly when being shot... "Syngenor" truly is a giant among B-grade sci-fi schlock.

I could have sworn the box said this was a horror movie. Syngenor is an utterly unimpressive piece of sci-fi trash. It has all the lousy acting, POOR continuity, and cheap special effects you've come to expect from movies like this. According to this movie, people react to fear by having sex. But what I wouldn't give to own a Deathrattle.....

A weapons corporation manufactures a genetic killing machine, that looks like Predator, but is called Syngenor. Carter Brown (David Gale) is the crazed paranoid man over the project who shoots himself in the neck with the proverbial fluorescent green radiator fluid because...he can. One night he lets loose the Syngenor to test it on live subjects and was surprised for some reason he didn't immediately return to its cage and goes on to kill its creator. The Syngenor almost kills the niece (Starr Andreeff) whose front door can't be opened from the inside. You always have easy to open doors in case of fire, aliens or Syngenor. The rest of plot wasn't this tight. It was like an Asylum/ SyFy production. Guide: F-bomb, brief sex, nudity (Julie Kris)

I bought (yes! bought) this movie at my local store for the very low price of £3.99, so I wasn't expecting an oscar winner, but having seen this truly awful pile of crap, I think I deserve a refund. The acting was atrocious - among if not THE worst I have ever seen. I mean what was with the boss of the company who kept sticking green goo in his neck? he overacted something dreadfully the dialogue was apalling and the main actress Starr Andreeff (What a name!) was terrible, What action scenes there were - were lousy I have wasted 90 minutes of my life on this awful movie - I suggest you DON'T do the same! Rating 1/10

The new soldiers that's made by this sinister organisation for America are mutants so they don't feel fear but they're as dumb as they're ugly! As per the plot, they are the next best thing but in many scenes, they don't act like universal soldiers that would crush the enemies mercilessly, more like painfully slow zombies that fall in an instant from your water gun! Still it's this silliness that entertained for me, and as expected, there's bits of nudity too. The performances are above average too. Starr Andreeff and Mitchell Laurance in the lead roles are good but I would say the best performance was from David Gale as the whacko, homicidal boss.

SYNGENOR concerns an eeevil corporation that is secretly building synthetic beings to be used as super-soldiers in the next big war. Shockingly, the deadly creatures are released to roam around the corporate building, tearing hapless victims to pieces. This is all part of a plot to drive the corporation's head, Carter Brown (David Gale) insane. It works, causing Brown to lose his mind entirely. He proceeds to grimace, laugh hysterically, and continually ask people to hold him. As is common knowledge, Mr. Gale is a magnificent, USDA choice ham. He's also the best thing about this movie. His ultra-dynamic performance is pure platinum! The monsters themselves, while not a total disgrace, aren't all that menacing either. The costumes are fairly cool, just not terrifying. That said, there is a cool scene toward the end involving a SYNGENOR in total meltdown mode. Recommended for schlock lovers everywhere...

This was one of my favortie movies as a kid. It used to scare the crap outta me when I was young, and even though its not that scary now I still love it. There is a somewhat good amount of gore and violence, and the creatures look great for a low-budget flick, even though they do sound a little bit like elephants when they scream. I heard that this is actually a sequel to amovie called "Scared to death", which I haven't seen... yet. Anyway, Syngenor is out of print, but if you find it, pick it up. You won't regret it.
