Growth (2010)

Cuttyhunk Island, 1989: a bunch of mad scientists are meddling with the fundamental powers of nature. Surely this parasitic research will come to no good. At first, however, it seems that the Cuttyhunk experiment in Growth (2010) might be one of the instances in which mad meddling will pay off -- the subjects are evolving at an astonishing rate, developing advanced mental faculties and heightened strength. Things are looking up for the scientific method! But then three fourths of the island's population wind up dead and ruin all the fun. One of the survivors, Mircea Monroe, returns to Cuttyhunk 20 years later to discover what really happened...and what she might have inherited from the mysterious parasitic outbreak that killed her mom.
