A 1995 Made-for-TV Movie Sci-Fi Drama written and directed by Roger Avary that has a scientist (Rutger Hauer) creating a creature (Wil Wheaton), who develops a desire to escape after meeting another scientist (Nia Peeples).
The movie also stars Ron Perlman, Taylor Negron, Al Sapienza, Ron Jeremy, Kario Salem, Tom Savini, Luke Stratte Mc Clure, and Valarie Trapp.
Tropes for the film:
- Alliterative Name: Elizabeth English.
- Bandaged Face: The patchwork man Lazarus spends the first part of the movie with a bandaged face - and everything else - as his many, many, many sutures heal.
- Faceless Eye: The White Void Room Lazarus spends his early days in has several of these as a sort of biological surveillance system. Lazarus kills one with a thrown weight before making a series of ultimatums to the project heads.
- Meaningful Name: Invoked. Two of Lazarus's ultimatums are for a Bible and for the right to give himself a name, and he picks the name of the man Jesus resurrected for himself.
- Mix-and-Match Man: Lazarus is sort of a Frankenstein Monster made from the corpses of eighty-eight people of every race, age, and lifestyle, split evenly among gender and given an identity of his own. Things go wrong when it turns out he has Genetic Memory.
- No Biological Sex: Lazarus is male in most ways, but he has no sexual organs as his creator figured they were unnecessary.
- White Void Room: A white room is featured with minimalistic furniture, as the space where the titular creation spent his first several weeks of consciousness before escaping.
- Window Love: This is tragically done in the scene where Lazarus dies.
