The Mutations
The Mutations (also known as The Mutation, The Freaks, and The Freakmaker) is a low-budget 1974 British-American science fiction/horror film directed by Jack Cardiff.
Plot
Professor Nolter is a deranged genetic scientist, whose self-proclaimed goal is to break through to the next stage in human evolution, cross-breeding anthropophagous Venus flytraps with abducted college student guinea pigs from his own class. He plans to "create a race of plants that can walk, and men that can take root" through an exploitation of certain nucleic acids.
