==Plot== A group of college students break into an abandoned school to explore it. Once inside, they find that the school is not completely abandoned thanks to a eugenics program gone horribly wrong.
==Reception== ''Horrornews.net'', giving the movie 2 tombstones out of 5, said, " Fans of teen horror flicks with a twist may want to give it a try. A climatic end that will surprise most is worth a look in its own right."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Gammon |first1=Dave |title=Film Review: The Eugenist (2013) |url=https://horrornews.net/75323/film-review-the-eugenist-2013/ |website=HorrorNews.net |date=26 September 2018 |access-date=27 April 2021}}</ref> On the other hand, Nav Qateel writing in ''Influx magazine'' gave the movie a D+, writing, "There wasn’t a single thing in this uncostly, unscary, rather short movie which spoke of hidden talent."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Qateel |first1=Nav |title=The Eugenist (Review): Strict narrative logicians beware! |url=https://influxmagazine.com/the-eugenist-review-a-second-take-finds-the-faults/ |website=Influx Magazine |date=June 2013 |access-date=31 August 2021}}</ref>
