Frankenstein: Day of the Beast

This is a low budget horror, like shot-on-video kind of low budget. However, this does not mean it isn't well done. This film successfully revamps the Frankenstein story while keeping fairly faithful to the spirit (if not full scenes) from the novel. Partly a stalk-and-slash type killer film, partly a siege film (yup! You heard me!), this movie reinvents the Frankenstein story in inventive and entertaining ways.

But LOW budget it is. Bad acting. Questionable directing and editing choices. The monster is best when you cannot see him. The humor is (I hope) intended but sporadic. It isn't perfect.

I have seen many (most?) Frankenstein adaptations and this may be the most original take in years. Thoroughly entertaining to the open minded.

Also...connect this to The Last Matinee and...well you'll see!
