Features: DVD, Widescreen
When retired physician Daniel Green (Bill Cobbs, Night at the Museum) lifts a 5-ton farm tractor off a boy trapped beneath, the enigma of his supernatural strength piques the curiosity of two med students passing through town. Visiting the old doctor at his isolated farmhouse, they soon learn his bizarre secret: he has uncovered the key to eternal youth. But sometimes the lust for immortality has deadly consequences. The night takes a twisted turn as the young men discover Dr. Green's "miracle" has come with a horrifying price - and a fate far worse than growing old.

Editor's Note
Immortal life proves worse than death in this thriller. An elderly doctor (character actor Bill Cobbs, NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM) performs a miraculous feat of strength that piques the curiosity of his fellow small-town residents, but he didn't do it on his own. He cheats death thanks to a scientific discovery, but the consequences may be more frightening than he could have imagined.

The Final Patient is acted well, and superior to many other direct-to-video features in many respects. Cobbs never goes over the top with his performance...Though this story should be scary it feels more like a tragedy...The two college kids who get wrapped up in the whole mess are fun, but we know they are going to bite it in the end thanks to the films opening scene. This makes it hard to put stock in their characters since they may and will bite it at any moment. Still, this is far better than the usual interchangeable kids we see in other horror flicks...In short The Final Patient is heavy on character but very light on suspense and frights. So much time is spent sitting around making sure the audience can grasp the plot and back-story that the end effect is far from terrifying. The Mainardi's have proved to be talented so maybe we will see better things from them in the future. - Kryten Syxx
