Craig Carlson (Alexander Nifong), his girlfriend Tracy Bernstein (Stella Maeve) and their friend Derek Johnson (J. Mallory-McCree) row to the Brewster Island in a canoe to spend the weekend camping on the island. Tracy is not used to go camping and needs to defecate and she does not absorb the idea of going to the woods with a shovel to bury the poop. She sees a house nearby and she decides to ask to the owners to use the toilet. However there is nobody home and she finds the key of the front door and uses the toilet. During the night, there is a storm and the trio decides to spend the night in the house. However, early in the morning, the owners of the house return and they hide in the basement, where they find two corpses inside a plastic bag. However they are caught and forced to dig a hole to bury the bodies. Out of the blue, they are saved by three naked persons that are exactly like themselves. Soon they learn that they have been cloned and their duplicates are made of their dark side but more strong and intelligent.

"CLONED: The Recreator Chronicles" could have been a good B-movie with an interesting story. However, there is a total lack of humor, despite the absurd situation that all the characters are cloned from their poops associated to an invention from a scientist of atom bomb and lightning from the storm. Anyway this movie is watchable and entertains. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "O Lado Negro" ("The Dark Side")

This is one of those movies you watch because you have seen everything else. However, there is some entertainment value to this movie. The bad lines that makes you chuckle, poor acting, and fight scenes that border on comical at times kept me watching. The movie did hold my attention. I kept hoping for an explanation of key events at some point, but it never came, and made the whole thing fall flat for me. I was trying to figure out the direction of the movie because it all seemed so muddled. By the end I felt like the whole point was like one of those Saturday morning cartoon specials, the silly ones that slap you in the face with some kind of moral message. Their was no explanation of main events, and the characters reacted in such unnatural ways, one might mistake them for the clones. I would not watch it again, but I've seen worse.

I actually caught myself staring at this movie with my jaw dropping in a complete daze. I wasn't looking for a master piece, but this isn't even TV movie material.

There was so much reaching and grasping to sell what happens that I hit a wall right there, and then the acting finally had to take a beating, I tried to let it slide but the story was so bad I couldn't help but focus on the terrible characters and lack of well, anything at all.

Don't waste your time with this movie, if one person doesn't watch it because of my review/slating then I did my job and it was worth posting.

RECREATOR has potential but turns into a general mish-mash of ideas with way too much of the "teenagers running in the woods" type scenes to recommend it. It's a dimly lit adventure in which a trio of teenagers visit a remote island and take shelter in a mysterious installation when a storm beckons. Pretty soon they find themselves at the mercy of their own clones, which are set to destroy them.

Cloning has always been an intriguing idea in cinema but the idea here is workable at best. Indeed so little is made of the originality of the premise that any random monster or human villain could have been the antagonist. Too much of it feels like a teen horror flick while the thought-provoking sci-fi angle of the story is swept aside.

It doesn't help that the production values have led to a dim and gloomy looking movie with non-existent special effects. The thinly-written characters are rather trying and despite the best efforts of the actors involved none of them are remotely likable, so you end up having no interest in what happens come the end. It's a pity.

With plot holes big enough to drive a locomotive through , paper thin characters and a surprise ending you could see coming from the Space Station, this is a movie that wasted the acting talent and a relatively good idea. Nifong is the only one who delivers his twins with any identifiable difference or conviction, and what a waste of John De Lancie. This feels like a rough draft that got made instead of giving the script another thorough run thru. The best thing about the movie is the DVD menu screen. The sad part is that the young cast have enough experience to have pulled off a relatively solid script, and the movie had a great location, but something is just amiss here.

I really didn't expect the film to be that good based off the score, but thought I would give it a go. It turns out to be a fairly slow paced light thriller. There is little action so its not for the Horror fans out there. More intellectual sorta movie

I actually enjoyed the story line and thought the pacing was very good. There are a few pot holes (I still don't get how the situation arose), but the acting was OK, and I actually cared about 1 of the characters (female lead), which is better than most movies are able to get me to.

Worth a shot if you have nothing else to do. Good time filler if you have nothing else to do. I have certainly seen higher ranked movies that weren't as enjoyable as this.

I knew from the beginning as soon as I saw 3 idiot kids on a canoe that I wasn't going to like this movie. And I was right. Unfortunately I won't let myself quit a movie until I've watched it all the way through. And the disappointment did not disappoint. Nothing these kids do or say is even close to how someone would react. The pacing is slow, and the music doesn't help. I've seen high school plays with better acting talent than this. And all the sex wasn't called for either, nor was the jealous black guy that added nothing to the story. All thumbs down.

It isnt the exorcist or the conjuring more on the lines of a low budget invasion of the body snatchers. The acting was excellent the cinematography worked well we purchased the 3d bluray and it was decent 3d no in your face 3d but depth 3d throughout. The story was excellent as well kept me watching till the excellent ending!! Not really a horror for me was more of a thriller with a dash of comedy. Not sure why a low ass 4 rating I've seen much worse it's easily a 7 all day long!! Watch it you'll enjoy it especially after the story gets set it has some real funny scenes.

I was not getting my hopes up on this film, as I think this kind of film has been done before, and it is nothing really new, but in some ways it is. But I thought it was entertaining enough for me to give it a positive spin, don't view this for blood and guts, titties, as it is not a horror film, and sorry no nudity scenes.

If you watch this with a light hearted approach then it is not bad entertainment, it flows just fine, no real slow boring moment, but no flash bang pace either.

The acting is OK, and a solid enough story line, but no Oscar winning performance either, give it a go, you can watch a hell of a lot worse.

7 out of 10 for me

Many movies can be boiled down to less than 2/3 of their length.

The standard length is 90+ minutes

This is less & could've been 20-30 minutes, which would've been fine.

Don't waste your time on this.

This began as a somewhat entertaining Cabin in the Woods movie but then of course became an I GOT CLONED IN THE WOODS movie . It was pretty bad but the ending was kinda funny. 4/10

I expected a crappy barely passable thriller and it didn't turn out to be bad at all. The plot is really kind of laughable when you actually think about it. To think of dropping a deuce and having a copy of yourself climb out the septic tank and try & kill you is kind of funny. In the end they did manage to explain away the why's & what's. The scenic lake house served as a good backdrop, the production value was solid. The acting could have been better but in films like this you always get fresh faces & some wooden lines but I didn't roll my eyes at anything I could think of. The story as you probably already know is three friends go camping and it rains so they end up taking shelter inside this huge lake house that appeared to be empty at the time until they meet the second generation owner's & from that point everything goes down hill for the three of them as they end up being stuck in a cat and mouse game with their replicas. I think it was a 6/10 but to be more accurate more of a 5.5. Still it's not a horrible film. It all depends on if you are into wacky stuff like this, if you are not then I'd advise skipping it. If you are and are thinking about PPV'ing it I don't want to advise you to dive right into something you may not like, if there isn't anything in your favorite genre available & you like what I described then go for it. It will do fine to burn up 90 minutes. When you read reviews always click on their user name for credibility if it's their first one then most likely it's either a personal attack[(1/10)] or they are connected to the movie[(10/10)]

To be honest with all of you, this movie impressed me. My expectations were low based on some reviews elsewhere. I usually ignore reviews so that I might make my own judgment. I'm glad I continued that trend because I would have skipped this had I followed the majority of reviews I read. The only thing that really bugged me was the reactions of the three mains. They seemed oddly comfortable with what was happening. I guess if you have actors with zero emotional range you can't have them get too emotional. Otherwise, I enjoyed it. The ending was pretty nice too. Kind of an FU at the end. Nicely done overall. John de Lancie is the name in this flick but don't look forward to too much screen time from the veteran. His role is a quick flash of about five minutes total. This story centers more on the three friends and their experiences on the island.

When compared to the big budget Hollywood stuff indies just can't compete, they don't have the budget or the names. But it all depends what you're looking for. For me this was a fun movie. Compared to other indies I think the movie is very well done. The actors were good, maybe not award winning but good enough that it was easy to watch. God I've seen some horrible acting in indies and compared to those these guys were Oscar winners! The story was original and so what if things were unbelievable, that's why it's called fiction right? The main thing I will say is it was an enjoyable movie, kept me interested to the end and got me involved in both the story and characters. I think that's pretty good! I give it a 7/10 easily.

This movie is so much fun! I didn't know quite what to expect going into the theater, but I really enjoyed myself. Recreator played on all my fears of the woods and camping...irrational fears, you may say, perhaps not!!

I loved the setting...it all takes place on an isolated and wooded island (filmed in upstate NY). So creepy...and yet the house on this island is AMAZING! It's a gorgeous cabin, but more like a cabin mansion...the kind of place you think of when you hear the words "dream vacation home." I'd love to spend a weekend there relaxing, swimming, reading...though maybe not after seeing what happens on that island in the film...ha. I don't want to say too much, because it will give away half the fun. But I can say...I'm glad I'm not a twin.

Buy a big tub of popcorn and go with a few friends!

We're in the middle of Covid 19 hell. It was exactly the movie I needed today. I enjoyed it immensely. It's silly, cute, a little bit of fun nail biting, but not scary, and the best was a wee of humor. I can't give it 10 of course, but I will watch it again someday.
