The Fly
In "The Fly," scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) experiments with teleportation, but when a fly wanders into one of the teleportation pods, he begins to change into a horrid fly-like monster.
The Amazing Spider-man
In "The Amazing Spider-man", Peter Parker/Spiderman's mentor, Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), develops a serum to combine human and lizard DNA to help regrow his missing limb. Unfortunately it has the unintended side effect of turning him into a homicidal lizard creature.
Jurassic Park
In "Jurassic Park," scientists create living dinosaurs from fossilized DNA, with the plan to open a theme park featuring the newly reborn beasts. The park is a hit – until the dinos start eating the tourists.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
To research a cure for Alzheimer's, Will Rodman (James Franco) begins animal testing on chimpanzees. The serum works, but only temporarily, and with some minor side effects - the downfall of humanity and the rise of intelligent apes!
Frankenstein
In "Frankenstein," Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Colin Clive) tries to create a human life from an assortment of exhumed body parts. When the doctor abandons his creation, the monster seeks revenge against his creator.
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
In "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) builds a shrink ray which accidentally shrinks his and his neighbors kids down to a quarter of an inch in size.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
In "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless MInd," Joel Barish (Jim Carey) receives an experimental treatment to rid himself of the memories of his ex-girlfriend Clementine, (Kate Winslet) who had also undergone the treatment. Love trumps science when the two find each other again even after the procedure.
28 Days Later
The virus that caused the zombie outbreak in "28 Days Later" originated from an attempt to make an anger suppressant. How's that for irony?
