The Kindred is not the greatest horror movie ever but it's certainly not a bad one either.

Rod Steiger(Dr. Phillip Lloyd) and Kim Hunter(Dr. Amanda Hollins) star in a movie about a genetic experiment gone completely wrong. Dr. Hollins is a molecular biologist, who in poor health, confides in her son John to destroy all of her experiments and "The Anthony" journals. John wants to know who Anthony is and is told that it's his brother. Anthony is a half-human/sea creature that lives in the basement and was created by Dr. Hollins from her natural son's living tissue.

The movie starts out a bit slow but picks up the pace through the middle and has a good climax. The acting isn't the best but the story is interesting and there are some pretty good scenes. All and all The Kindred isn't bad but I'd rent it before you buy it.

Excellent fantastic film. One of the most favourite in the childhood. Recently Lions Gate release on DVD too an excellent film "The Gate". They have made very good release. I hope that Lions Gate release soon and "The Kindred-1987 and The Cellar-1989 (director Kevin Tenney) on DVD.I expect this moment, as births the child!

This is a very good and groteusque horror movie about a scientist that gets a sample of her sons blood and creates a monster named "Anthony", A silmy muntant monster that attacks a bunch of scientists that try to finish Her work after she dies. We get tons of slime, a variety of monsters, and good acting. The story is excelent and avoids traps that some B-movies get into such as un-nessacary nudity and no plot. The ending also makes you wonder What happens next? ( If you see it, you will no what I mean.) Worth a rent and if you Are a monster fan, you will probally want to own it. Rated R for profanity and lot and lots of slime.

Nice little monster movie with a cool plot. Somewhat cheese, but what you except from a 80's monster flick! It takes itself more seriously than most monster movies from this time period. It's about a guy who finds out he has a sibling.....but the brother is NOT human...yeah, and my bro isn't human either. He's from Jupiter. LOL.
