Mr. Story’s sense of restraint is acute, the suggestion of dread being as awful as the overtly dreadful. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
Numerous writers use spare parts from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein story to assemble something patchwork for their purposes. Few, however, have done it as seamlessly as writer and director Bomani J. Story. Go to Full Review

This is a very promising debut... Because it is so good, I got very disappointed when it loses a lot of steam in the end. Go to Full Review
Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana The Geek Show (UK) 07/09/2024

See more Chago D 06/14/2023 Storyline was very weak, and the acting See more Marshall 06/13/2023 incredible retelling See more Latonya C 06/12/2023 Great movie. Wonder actors lots of action. See more Ruth 06/11/2023 Great acting, for a low-budget movie. Special effects were ok. The plot did not quite come full-circle, the way I would have liked. See more Daniel Lench 06/10/2023 A refreshing new take on Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, with outstanding performances. Debut director's use of the supernatural horror to shine a raw spotlight on oppression and suppression of African-American society. A strong first effort, I look forward to seeing much more of his vision. See more Read all reviews
