The plot of this film is standard 'teenagers meet something nasty in the woods' but the ideas behind it are heavily influenced by right wing Christianity.
The scientist behind the horror is not just an evil geneticist he also worked on the atom bomb; fully grown clones develop overnight but because they are not born as God intended they are automatically evil. One evil clone attempts to raise the consciousness of his black doppelgänger; the most violent death scene comes when a characters refuses to face up to his own homosexuality and the independent self-directed girlfriend is rejected in favour of the one who surrenders herself to the male lead. At one point a character actually says that 'the meek shall inherit the Earth' but conformity rather than positive goodness triumphs. The meek and mild male lead has a haircut like Jesus too.
