Kimberly P Very slow... found it rather strange.. watched it because it got good reviews. . Very sorry I watched 1/2 if it... stopped wayching.. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Nathan H Surprisingly faithful rendering with good scares and great performances overshadowed by too much guts and gore, but you can tell everyone involved had fun. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Daniel B Frankienstein de 2015, es tan incómoda cómo simbólica, una actuación de Xavier Samuel que se siente comprometida tanto física cómo interpretativamente. La deformidad de "Adam" representa el cómo la "perversión" social, lo hizo victima de las circunstancias, siendo tangible en el mismo, el cómo nuestro entorno nos deja cicatrices que nos recuerdan de donde venimos. Una narrativa que una los agujeros de guion cómo herramienta para funcionar, pero con escenas individuales fantásticas. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Tom S A fascinating update on the classic trope set in L.A. that modernizes the tragic theme with genuine emotional punch. The director Bernard Rose, who directed Candyman and Immortal Beloved, does wonders with a low budget and manages to be horrifically gory, but also poetic and dreamy. Loved it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/23 Full Review Taylor L Bernard Rose's Frankenstein is a relatively accurate modern rendition of Mary Shelley's classic novel, employing the director's sensitivity for today's social- and class-based issues in a similar manner to his most successful work, the original iteration of Candyman. Shifting the perspective entirely to Xavier Samuel's 'monster', the plot focuses less on Frankenstein's own hubris and callous nature in creating a new life thoughtlessly than it does on the monster's naivete being eroded through several rather on-the-nose encounters out in the world, going from innocent, childlike idealist to callous indifference. Most of these events are pretty on-the-nose and aren't handled with what you might call the greatest subtlety, including an execution by cop right on the street. It's a movie that has its sensibilities in the right place and a solid central performance from Samuel, but the original novel remains cutting and universal enough that this remake probably wasn't a necessity. (2/5) Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/08/22 Full Review william h This 2015 horror film is free on YouTube and is not the campy James McAvoy/Daniel Radcliffe version that came out the same year. This was a modern-day version of the frequently filmed Mary Shelley novel set in contemporary L.A., with Danny Huston (son of John and half-brother of Anjelica) as Dr. Frankenstein, Carrie-Anne Moss (from "The Matrix" movies) as his wife and fellow scientist, and an Australian actor, Xavier Samuel, as "Adam" (the monster). Samuel's acting was incredible! Though low-budget, it was the best version of the story I've ever seen and was even believable. I highly recommend it. (Speaking of Danny Huston, he starred as the vampire leader in "30 Days of Night," a fabulous horror film set in Alaska.)
