Review of Embryo

Embryo (1976)
5/10
Not bad, but dated film seems more like a tame TV movie than anything else

Warning: Spoilers
Rock Hudson stumbles upon a means of rapidly growing fetuses after he hits a dog with his car. He made the discovery after he tries to save the dogs pups. Taking the experiment one step farther he grows a human fetus which turns into Barbara Carrera who seems to spring to adulthood almost over night. Unfortunately the rapid growth keeps her emotionally young and she also aging much faster than anyone realizes. Scifi horror film is the sort of thing that would have ended up on TV if it wasn't for the star and the nudity. Its actually not a bad little film but it's the sort of thing that had been done at least a dozen times before. Worth a look if you run across it on an undemanding night but nothing you need search out unless you're a fan of Hudson or one of its other stars.
