CLOSER TO GOD

Cinemavixion Review

Billy Senese's "Closer To God" offers a chilling exploration of scientific ambition and its terrifying ethical repercussions. The film masterfully crafts an atmosphere of dread, centering on a geneticist's groundbreaking, yet morally fraught, creation. Jeremy Childs delivers a compelling performance as the scientist grappling with the consequences of playing God, his descent into obsession palpable. While the plot delves into familiar sci-fi horror tropes, it does so with a taut narrative and a disturbing visual style that lingers long after the credits roll. The film's unsettling tone and thought-provoking premise, supported by a respectable 56% on Rotten Tomatoes, make it a noteworthy entry for fans of cerebral, suspenseful genre cinema.
