Depraved

In the gritty, rain‑slick streets of modern Brooklyn, a former army medic turned laboratory researcher wrestles with the ghosts of his past. Henry carries the weight of combat trauma, his nights haunted by the battlefield’s echo while his days are spent in a cramped, makeshift lab surrounded by salvaged medical junk and flickering neon. The city’s restless energy seeps through the thin walls, creating a backdrop where science and desperation blur, and where the promise of redemption feels as fragile as the circuitry humming beneath the workbench.

Driven by an obsessive need to create something that transcends death, Henry assembles a new kind of being from reclaimed body parts, stitching together flesh, metal, and a stolen brain in a desperate act of defiance against mortality. The result is a creature whose very existence challenges the limits of humanity, forcing its creator to confront questions of identity, responsibility, and the moral cost of playing god. The atmosphere remains tense and claustrophobic, laced with a quiet dread that every spark of life could ignite unforeseen peril.

As the fragile bond between creator and creation deepens, the film explores a world where science is both a sanctuary and a battlefield. The tone oscillates between cold, clinical precision and raw, visceral emotion, underscoring the uneasy partnership that must navigate a complex, often hostile reality. Through muted corridors, haunting soundscapes, and stark visual contrast, the story invites viewers to wonder whether the pursuit of new life can ever truly bring peace—or if it merely trades one set of shadows for another.
