By Catholic News Service

Unoriginal sci-fi thriller omits even an occasional reflection on what it means to have a human moral sense. Instead, director Luke Scott and screenwriter Seth Owen put Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy), a creature made of synthetic DNA, through the paces of shlock 1980s horror as she wreaks murderous havoc on her creators.

Frequent references to the artificial creation of human life, frequent physical violence, occasional gore, and fleeting rough and profane language.
