There is no way this movie got all those awards I read about on the trivia session. Of course it has its merits, like the soundtrack, and the photography is good too. But that is all. First the protagonist, they try to make her badass and tough but she is so poorly written that I can't blame the actress for that crap...she is annoying and has this "badass" look on her face all the time. The plot also sucks hard, the story doesn't make any sense and jumps from here to there without any explanation given. Plot holes and inconsistencies are all over the script (there is this scene where the protagonist is beaten to a pulp and the next day her face is clean as a baby's butt). Overall, it is just bad writting and an even worse direction, they try to "show, don't tell" but they forget to show. Avoid this.

Warning: Spoilers
The film opens in 1918 as Professor Seneca (Rory Moon/Andrew Forbes) hunts for a rare flower in Borneo. E later discover the plant can mix with and alter human DNA with either immortality or death. In modern time Augusta Ilex (Charlie Blackwood) is a hunter, working for the wealthy Isla Elliot (Grace Hendy). Her task is to steal a tape or whatever he has, from Professor Seneca, who is still alive and quite spry for being over 100. Things don't go perfect as Augusta gets infected and must search for the stolen flower so an antidote can be synthesized in this Lovecraft nightmare.
Movie is slow at times. Charlie Blackwood is not the supermodel who normally play these roles.
Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.
