Member Rating:  
Creative special effects highlight this futuristic story from director James Bai. Set in an unknown time "after the Decline," Puzzlehead details the strange journey of an android whose antiquated parts and all-too-human emotions are at constant odds. Bespectacled scientist Walter (Stephen Galaida) has finally gathered the rare parts needed to assemble Puzzlehead -- an android sculpted in his inventor's own image and bestowed with all of Walter's knowledge and both his conscious and unconscious thoughts. Though Walter's unspoken love for the impoverished Julia (Robbie Shapiro) finds him pining away for the girl as he carefully perfects his creation, her favor ultimately falls toward the heroic Puzzlehead when Walter's mechanical look-alike skillfully saves her from a precarious life-threatening situation. Now, with the lines between man and machine becoming increasingly blurred, all of Walter's unconscious quirks move to the forefront of his obsessive personality and the three victims of technology are forced to ponder their fate as the outside world seems to fall into complete chaos. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This is one of the very few Science Fiction or Horror movies that made me think about the repercussions of what could happen if a person could be duplicated either through DNA or as an android. I liked how the the creator and the android both had a side of envy towards each other, and the chain of events that had to happen because of this. The story and acting portions of the film were done well enough to give me belief in the movie. I hope that more movies like this will be made in the near future.

The artsy type will love this movie. Well made, great plot and fantastic dialogue, especially the narrative. Much more of a mind bending Horror, not a graphic image, psycho, slasher but so much better in its unique way. I really liked it.
