Although it sounds like a useful title for my autobiography, this film deals with the potential risks of gene manipulation.
Set in a laboratory in Dresden, a new researcher joins a team of scientists looking for the next big thing in medicine - specifically ways of testing how mice infected with a disease respond to treatment. The fact that the new researcher's baby son died some time earlier with a similar disease fuels the team's interest in finding a cure.
Somewhat similar to the recent Antiviral in its starkness, this is also a thoroughly miserable film, as are many sci-fi horror/thrillers.
The heart-stoppingest moment for me however was when I saw Rik Mayall - he of the seminal early 80s British TV comedies The Young Ones, Bottom, and a regular character in Blackadder. Boy, has he aged. And he's fat. And grey. Receding. He plays the professor running the laboratory.
"Errors" did have some kind of plot, although not interesting enough to rescue it from being duller than a tub-full of plankton.
