There are some interesting twists in this modern Frankenstein tale. Instead of body parts it's DNA. Instead of a horrible, disfigured monster we get Dren which could be considered cute at first. Also the issue of burgeoning sexuality. Side note: Why is it that female sexual awareness scares so many people? It is something so deeply ingrained that we are still seeing horror movies about it today. Hell, that sounds more like a dissertation than a blog post. Maybe I should do that for my next October Challenge; see where this takes me.
Anyway there is/was room for a sequel ala the new Fly movie, but no idea if it ever happened.
The actors in this were quite good. That sets this a notch above most horror flicks.
