What critics compared Parts: The Clonus Horror to
It is based on a little-seen 1979 feature called The Clonus Horror, in which citizens are promised a paradise called "America" rather than The Island, but it comes across as a compendium of dystopian visions that has echoes of The Matrix, Logan's Run, Blade Runner, Gattaca and THX 1138 plus a few reprises of some moments from Bay's own repertoire.
The real source, though, is a 1979 sci-fi cheapie called The Clonus Horror, probably best known as the subject of a satiric drubbing by the cut-ups at “Mystery Science Theater 3000.”
Much of the connect-the-dots plot is similar to "The Clonus Horror," a laughable, low-budget B-movie bomb from 1979, which fumbled with inferences about the fallacies of the American Dream.
