Show more >> In Vitro is a film that tries to blend horror with a commentary on biotechnology, but it sometimes gets lost in its own narrative. Set on a remote cattle farm, it follows a couple whose experiments take a dark turn. While the premise is intriguing, the pacing can be uneven, and some scenes drag on longer than necessary. The performances are solid, and there are moments that genuinely unsettle, but the film often feels like it's reaching for deeper meanings that don't quite land. The ending, while ambiguous, left me more confused than intrigued. For fans of the genre, it may be worth a watch, but those seeking a tightly woven story might find it lacking. Show less
