TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

mwcanadian-99023 Honestly, this isn't a really bad movie, but it's also not a really good movie. If you seen it on Mystery Science Theatre 3000 then you likely liked it much better. the plot is actually really good and really creepy. The plot is centered around 2 people. the actor and actress who play them are honestly, not that good and in my book, they are the worst part of the actors in this movie. i know they were supposed to play dumb clones, but they were just forgettable. honestly, the best acting came from the two known actors in Dick Sargent and Peter Graves.Anyways, the plot was around a person called Richard, who accidentally bumped into a woman called Lena. you quickly find out that they are controlled clones and shouldn't have met and when told of the problem Dr. Jamison (Dick Sargent) decided he would see what would happen with this, which would end up hurting them as Richard becomes curious about the world he lives in and of course he becomes curious about "America." Clonus is ran by the doctors and guides there, who are working for a guy called Walker, and the doctors and guides teach these clones while also having them exercise almost non stop it seems to get them ready for "America." what the clones don't realize is that America isn't what they think it is. i won't get into the plot after that because that's actually one of the most interesting parts of this movie. the acting from Dick Sargent and Peter Graves was awesome and i also liked the acting from the guy who could likely play a perfect Mario. Dick Sargent and the guy i call Mario were clear cut villains who hid their intentions well from the clones, but when you seen them, you knew they were just pure evil. Peter Graves on the other hand was the wolf in sheep's clothing to not only the clones, but also his own family and even to the audience. he came off as the nice guy politician, who also had a clear evil intention. he was gold in this movie and helped this movie. i feel that if this movie was re-made with a better budget and better actor and actress to play Richard and Lena that it would be highly successful because the plot is actually really interesting and creepy.

ngobleus I'll say this first...the film would've been a 70s sci-fi classic if it had been executed a lot better.That said, let's examine the plot...it starts with Peter Graves (or is that Clarence Oveur?) running for President, then cuts to a goofy college campus-like environ full of authoritarians in goofy trucker caps and headsets and retarded athletes who all act like they're perpetually age 8. It then shows one guy apparently going to America, having a party, then taken to a medical lab where he is drugged, wrapped in a plastic bag and then prepared as if the doctors were bagging vegetables for steamers packs...okay, actually he's being put on ice so the doctors can extract the organs they need.It then cuts to another dopey man thinking the place he's living in is a bit strange after a beer can (of all plot devices possible) he finds in a river makes him look suspicious (damn those beer cans!). He and some equally stupid love interest of his feel they need to get to the bottom of it all, so he makes her stay behind as he escapes through what is basically a large college administration building with some evidence he discovers on the way about cloning...and how he's a part of it.He escapes his controllers after being shot some and an old reporter guy helps him find his 'father'--the man he was cloned from. It just so happens he's a clone of the brother of Peter Graves. After debate about what to do with him and his evidence, he goes back to the facility to find his girlfriend (who has been lobotomized in the meantime to be even more stupid, harmless, and ready to host a talk show according to the SOL crew). He is captured and put into cold storage just like his Nazi-build retard friend from the beginning of the film.Meanwhile, a confrontation at Graves' brothers house results in several deaths, including Graves'. The reporter guy and his wife are killed in the middle of an exciting conversation by a bomb. It seems the conspirators have won to some extent...Then, Peter Graves turns out to be able to survive being run through with a metal poker by the miracle of cloned parts, and giving another 'vote for me' speech just as reporters confront him about the cloning thing.Definitely MST3K fodder, but on the low end of the spectrum as far as overall badness goes.

Melinda For those of you who have a few kind words for this film, I suspect you didn't see it when it was released as "Parts: The Clonus Horror." It was a dreadfully boring movie. It missed the mark in at least three ways. It wasn't good enough to be scary; it wasn't bad enough to be funny (although MST3K took care of that); and, even in 1979, the plot was unoriginal.Earlier contenders are "The Resurrection of Zachary Wheeler" (1971). It's the same idea (clones as spare parts). The movie is entertaining, and it had a fine cast. Another is "Sleeper" (1973). Yes, the Woody Allen movie. Remember the flattened nose? And "Clones" (1973). The last two plots aren't as similar to Clonus as the first one, but they predate Clonus.They are also several fiction books from decades earlier that deal with the idea, although often, the word "clone" isn't used.

AngryChair This low budget thriller is a pretty decent B movie with a great original premise.The government has been running a clone farm for many years and now one of the clones has escaped into the outside world.A clever premise, some solid direction, and a good cast help to make this film a pretty compelling sci-fi thriller. The Clonus Horror is an effectively chilling film that examines the theme of what it is to be human and just how the advance of science can ultimately turn to a violation of human life. The direction of Robert Fiveson is well-done, as he creates some nicely nightmarish sequences to give this film a creepy edge, as though the subject matter of the movie alone isn't unsettling enough. There's also some gruesome scenes as well. Kudos also go to a stirring, operatic music score.The cast delivers good on their performances and features some great veteran actors like Dick Sargent, Peter Graves, and Keenan Wynn.While The Clonus Horror may not have the big budget of The Island, it's as equally thought-provoking and disturbing. Worth seeking out, especially for film buffs. *** out of ****
