not disturbing?

First Born (1988)

This is a mini series aired on BBC.
A genetic researcher managed to breed a human-gorilla hybrid then adopts the child and helps the child to blend into society.

I could not find the actual dvd anywhere but on Amazon.com.uk. This is the only example I found so far in which the result from a science experiment does not look disturbing. However, people have commented that this production has evoked so much emotion and brought to surface the possible consequences of genetic engineering in a most disturbing way.

Thus, my challenge will be developing characters that look scientifically realistic but do not look frightening.
