The premise

Young scientist Elizabeth Barnes (Tiffany Shepis) and her group of researchers are conducting illegal stem cell research, and discover a cell anomaly that has the potential to regenerate dead tissue. Unable to conduct legal human trials, the researchers turn to corpses to test their serum.

Horror Vault's take

When a team of rogue scientists stumbles upon a cellular anomaly capable of reviving dead tissue, they cross legal and moral lines by experimenting on human corpses. What begins as a clandestine stem cell research project quickly spirals into something far more dangerous than any of them anticipated. The Frankenstein Syndrome transplants Mary Shelley's timeless cautionary tale into a modern laboratory setting, asking how far ambition can drive otherwise rational people. Tiffany Shepis leads a cast navigating the increasingly horrifying consequences of science unchained.
