LIZARD BOY

Cinemavixion Review

Paul Della Pelle's "Lizard Boy" presents a darkly comedic and unsettling premise, exploring the extreme measures of a geneticist's mid-life crisis. The film delves into the challenging creation of a son from reptilian and human DNA, a concept that immediately raises ethical and narrative questions. As Dr. Gino Conti grapples with fatherhood, the story pivots to the son's disturbing anger management issues, which manifest in a rather literal, and cannibalistic, fashion. While the IMDB rating suggests a niche appeal, the film's unique blend of science fiction, horror, and satire, anchored by performances from Pete Punito, Damon Gregory, and Steven Zeigler, offers a thought-provoking, albeit unconventional, cinematic experience. "Lizard Boy" is a testament to independent filmmaking's willingness to explore bizarre and provocative themes, making it a curious discovery for those seeking the unconventional.
