Plot Summary

They must race against time to survive and expose the horrific experiments before becoming the next victims.

Critical Reception

DNA was a low-budget direct-to-video release that garnered minimal attention. Critics and audiences largely overlooked it, and it is generally considered a forgettable entry in the creature-feature genre of the late 90s. Its production values and script received little praise.

Google audience: Audience reception is largely absent due to the film's limited release and obscurity. It did not generate significant discussion or reviews.

Fun Fact

The film was reportedly shot on a very small budget, contributing to its rudimentary special effects and overall low production quality.
