"He's a living thing!"
What could have been a interesting mash up of Firestarter and Terminator ends up being very lacking in many areas. The biggest crimes being the inconsistent pacing, bad acting and terrible lead character. There are plenty of fun moments though and the music is really fun. It's just a shame that Specimen doesn't live up to it's interesting ideas and cool poster.

“It’s hard to say when the game begins and life ends.”
For a slasher as goofy as this is, it’s sure boring. I will give it credit for not being as bad as something like Mazes and Monsters, but it is still ungodly boring and never has any life to it.
It’s a terrible fantasy horror movie with D&D elements show horned in so it can cash in on the Satantic Panic of the 80’s with some of the worst production values of any movie from the 80’s.
Only for 80’s horror movie completionists like myself.
The first 25 episodes are perfection while the last 12 are good but pale in comparison to what came before. Still a great watch. My mom even liked it.
