Mr. Stitch

I think the movie was excellent, it was not violent for starters compared to other recent movies. Wheaton plays the part of a man who has been 'stitched' together like humpty dumpty, well from the remains of many dead persons. The problem starts when he starts remembering how they died and lots of other memories they had. Nia Peeples is great in the movie, as is Wheaton. The movie reminds us, not to play with nature, not to "play God" with life. What God creates we shouldn't manipulate for our own egoistical interest such as creating super-soldiers which was what the movie was about. Great sci-fi movie, unfortunately it was shown at 1.30am last night on tv!

Hey everybody! I am Tsopa and I have been trying to find the TomandAndy's soundtrack for Mr.Stitch in all countries I've been for many years, but all in vain. Please help me. If you obtain any information about some places, sites, shops or persons who could help, give them my e mail address: tsopa9@mail.ru I would really appreciate it; you'd just make me incredibly happy! Thak you. Also I'd like to socialize with the people who like the film and the musical project. I've travel-led a lot, but I can tell you, that there are not many people who ever heard anything about Mr Stitch movie, therefore I'm hoping to find someone who doesn't mind to keep in touch with me.

yes, it's true. whatever flaws this movie has, it deserves to be seen because of its incredibly imaginative dialogue. it really does. ...

This movie is in my opinion a real stinker. Poorly acted, poorly casted, poorly paced and bad settings makes this movie to the worst I've seen so far this year('99). We know that Rutger Hauer can produce magic to the big screen(or TV), but here he is far from his best form and suddenly disappears from the movie with no explanation whatsoever!? If you like experimental movies regarding the Frankenstein story, you might find this movie interesting, but at least I could not find many positive elements in Roger Avary's TV movie.

Sure, it's great that people try to experiment when they make a movie, but do they literally have to destroy everything in terms of story, acting and credibility? This is is by far the worst movie I've ever seen. Ever. It doesn't even deserve 1 of 10. Avoid at all costs.

How they were able to attain funding to produce this..uh..movie, has to be more of a feat than the production itself. I'm so glad to see Wil Wheaton didn't leave Star Trek: The Next Generation without such promising projects awaiting him. Wheaton plays an androgenous, Palamino-skinned Frankenstein's Monster with amnesia, who after reading one of several books, the Bible, names himself Lazarus. With huge vacant lab rooms, filmed using more lens gauze than Penthouse, an eventual laboratory breakout, and a crazy road trip(by the way, when did he take the 'Mad Max' driving course), 'Stitch' can only leave you asking one question? Ron Perlman had plenty of time post-"Beauty and the Beast", but what was Taylor Negron thinking?

Don't expect great fx, fast paced action, big budget settings, not even sci-fi. So what's left you ask? A piece of art with a surreal, dream-like ambience, wonderful music by Tomandandy and some of the deepest, most brilliant dialogues yet in a movie. Together with 'Killing Zoe' and 'Pulp Fiction' this film clearly shows Roger Avary's extraordinary talent. It is a little bit like 'Star Trek - The Next Generation': To some it may seem cheap & cheesy, to others it's pure wisdom, wrapped in a sci-fi story for easy consumption. Give Mr. Stitch a try - there's a good chance you'll love it for the same reason you love your favourite recording: that special feeling. It's a shame it isn't available on DVD...

This film is an interesting little experiment: lots of bright white light framing images that linger for the camera, the Frankenstein story updated as an anti-war morality tale. Rutger Hauer chews the scenery a bit as the update of Dr. Frankenstein, and the generic evil general is all cartoon; still, Wil Wheaton as Lazarus, the creation, and Nia Peeples as his sympathetic caretaker/tutor, are worth watching. (Taylor Negron also makes an appearance as a slimy cohort who gets his just reward--his specialty.) Not a big budget affair, but not a complete waste of time, either, if you like quirky sci-fi fantasy.
