    I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe.

    I’ve seen something so bad it transcends badness. I’ve seen the nature of suffering, distilled into 138 minutes of agonising celluloid. I’ve seen Shia LaBeouf acting so bizarre it felt like a fever dream, challenging the very limits of my sanity. I’ve seen the death of hope in the eyes of the audience.

In every meal shown, there seems to be a universe of emotions spoken in the silent language of the protagonists craft, where we feel and taste the bittersweet, spicy, and fleeting flavours of life itself.

This brilliant scientist, Dr. Godwin Baxter, known only as God (Willem Dafoe), is both Frankenstein and the monster, disfigured and patched up, loathed by his students, except for one who admires him…
