Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Aberration
ABERRATION was directed by Tim Boxell in 1997.
Amy Harding has just arrived in the family cabin lost in the woods. She meets Marshall Clarke, a biologist who uses to wander all day in the forest trying to understand why some local animal species have recently disappeared from the region. Both are finally attacked by lizards-like animals that have the aptitude to genetically mutate at each new generation. So, for instance, these animals develop soon a carapace resisting to gunshots. Amy and Marshall know that, before coming back to civilization, they have to destroy all of them.
